I was referred to Jackie by a mutual friend. Within days of listing my condo, we had realtor tours and open houses. I received a cash offer from one of those showings. Unfortunately, that offer fell through. With the next week Jackie found an investor friend of hers who made essentially the same offer. About a month and a half later, the sale has closed. I would recommend Jackie to anyone I know.
Having Jackie Walters as my real estate agent was the perfect choice! Her many years of experience in the Santa Barbara market are apparent, due to her insight and local knowledge during a drastically changing market. Jackie not only posseses unwavering professionalism, she is also prompt in all communications and went above and beyond to make sure I was supported and cared for through my entire house search process, especially during the final purchase of my new home. I cannot recommend Jackie Walters enough as the best choice for a real estate agent in the Santa Barbara community.
Jackie was a real asset to us. We are new buyers in the California market and the steadiness she provided was just what we needed. Her approach came from a place of experience and she showed up 100% of the time. She even helped us find a rental until we were getting ready to buy. We felt truly in good hands every step of the way.
Jackie knows the market and gives sound advice. But a lot of people do that. What separates Jackie from most others in the business is her responsiveness, before, during and after the transaction. Jackie has represented me on four sales. I get numerous calls from others in the market, but they are pushing a listing or simply want to make a deal. I want someone who is looking out for me. One good example of her sense of the market; I bought an off-market condo and within four months, comparable (if not inferior) units had sold for 40% more. Who wouldn't like those kind of gains? You will be in good hands working with Jackie.
Jackie was the perfect real estate agent for our needs! Jackie demonstrated knowledge and experience every step of the way. Equally important, Jackie's warmth, composure, and tempo provided equilibrium that was much appreciated at this most hectic time. The entire process was fluid and manageable because of Jackie's fine-tuned skill set. Let's just say...Jackie delivers!
This is the 4th time we’ve used Jackie because we know we are in the best hands possible! She is the consummate professional: knowledgeable, caring, patient and highly respected among her peers. Plus she’s just lovely to work with!
Jackie Walters is an excellent agent. She assisted me by educating me on the Santa Barbara and Montecito markets and showing me properties which met my requirements. She provided good counsel during the negotiation process and stood by me every step of the way during the escrow period and after closing. I continue to count on her for insight on the market as I own a rental property and continue to look for other properties to purchase.
Jackie Walters is not just a 5 star, but a 10 star realtor, both professionally and personally! Right out of the gate, Jackie developed a detailed marketing plan that included professional photos and an aerial video, media placements, recent comps, a property description that truthfully captured the essence of our home, safety measures during COVID, and the prescreening of potential buyers. Just after she produced a “Coming Soon” announcement in MLS, we had a bevy of interested buyers, each of whom were invited for a private showing at which masks were required, and all doors, including closets were pre-opened. Within 10 days of the full MLS listing, we had 2 offers. And then, when the buyer with whom we opened an escrow chose to have lots of different inspections, Jackie was present for every one of them. Throughout every stage of our property sale, she was ever present via text, phone, or in person. More importantly, Jackie is a quality person, whose many years of experience, whose honesty and ethics, and whose calm demeanor we found invaluable. When it came to closing delays, she was like a lighthouse guiding bobbing ships to a safe shore. At the end, she did everything imaginable to help us get on our way with an out-of-state move. In short, Jackie Walters is not only a highly experienced pro, but she is also a real person, a kind person, and a dedicated individual who will be with you every step of the way throughout making a real estate change in your life!
Our quaint cottage by the beach in Montecito was a challenging property to market for a host of reasons, and in all honesty, our expectations for the process were quite high. Jackie Walters far exceeded those expectations in every respect! Not only is Jackie both highly knowledgeable and experienced in Santa Barbara real estate, she is resourceful, tenacious, generous with her time and compassionate in her heart. The entire experience, prolonged as it was, was delightful because JackieWalters ensured that every detail was addressed and no stone was left unturned. As it turns out, Jackie is not only a superb real estate broker, she is also a reliable and cherished friend! I can only give her the highest of recommendations, without any hesitation of qualification.
