Just last week our first house was closed and I'm so glad to have Pam as our agent. She is a true professional and knows the market very well. As first-time home sellers, this could easily be a very distressful experience. On top of that, we've relocated out of town months ago. When the house left vacant, lot of things went wrong. But Pam and her team did the rescue and helped us out during the entire process. If you are in the market whether to buy or sell your home, I’d highly recommend Pam and her team!!

Pam was a pleasure to work with throughout this entire process! As a first time home buyer I was very nervous about what to expect, and she walked me through the entire process, answered all of my questions, and gave me a great deal of guidance which I absolutely appreciated! I plan on recommending her to any/all of my friends and family members that may be looking to buy, and cannot say enough about how easy and manageable she made this process for me!

We worked with Gregg and Jacobs group for purchasing our new property. Gregg is amazing to work with. Very quick to arrange the viewing, will give you the right advise and help needed. He will give his suggestions by doing proper study of the market. He also helped us through out closing process. Highly recommend working with Gregg Ehlers and Jacobs group.

This was my first experience in selling a home. I was nervous about what I needed to do to get it ready to sell and how my time would be affected. When Pam came into my home, she eased all my fears. Her experience and compassion showed immediately. She thoroughly noted everything in my house, asked me about my thoughts and priorities and then made suggestions to what could be done to sell the house in the shortest amount of time and at the highest price. We talked about and then decided on just a couple of minimal changes; light fixtures and paint, for which she knew of a top quality designer/painter. She investigated the area to find comparable properties, explained how they matched with my house and suggested a selling price. She knew this was an emotional sale for me and was always there to guide me along the way. We put the house on the market in mid-December even though we knew the holidays were approaching and, immediately after the New Year, received multiple offers. Pam negotiated the sale price and the closing date far above my expectations. The house sold within the first two weeks of January. In working with Pam and her team, I was extremely impressed with their attention to detail and how little I had to be involved in the process. I could not have been happier. I felt no stress, had no concerns and look forward to working with her again. We would definitely rate Pam and her team #1 and recommend her highly!

Pam Jacobs and her Jacobs Group team have earned our highest recommendation, at least 6 stars out of 5! Pam listed and sold our homes in Lake Barrington and Barrington Village in 2016 and 2017, respectively. Both homes sold quickly, at top dollar, with minimal involvement on our part. Speed, price, no hassles; what more could a seller want? Pam presented us with thorough, detailed market studies explaining and supporting listing prices. She offered valuable recommendations to prepare our properties for sale, and called in contractors who quickly and correctly made presale repairs and improvements. She advised us on effective interior staging to help maximize buyer appeal, and captured the results with simply amazing photography. Pam and Chuck used their market expertise to deliver the broad and deep buyer and buyer agent exposure we wanted, including targeted advertisements and Web sites. Pam was highly responsive and communicated with us clearly and consistently from presale to closing – text, email, phone. She kept us informed of showings and prospective buyer and agent comments, so we always knew exactly where we stood in the process. Pam’s office staff provided timely follow-up and support at every turn. Pam proved herself an excellent negotiator when it came to resolving buyer requests, finalizing offer and acceptance details, and finally closing the sales. We heartily and without reservation recommend Pam and the Jacobs Group.

We had a great experience with Pam and the Jacobs Group. From the minute Pam came to look at our home we felt her experience, thoughtfulness regard for our home and our goals were immediately taken into account. She spent the right amount of time helping us understand what comps were for the area and strategically helped us decide on a price. The Jacobs Group staff was very friendly and took great care to work around our hectic schedules. The marketing material really made our home stand out on the websites as well as the collateral material left when people came to see the house. Above all else our results were undeniable.... our home was under contract in less than TWO weeks! Pam's help did not end there we knew what to expect through out the close and even when questions came up there was never an issue, Pam's experience stood out keeping us in the loop until the final signing. We would definitely use the Jacobs Group again!!!

here is a very good reason Pam and her team has a 5 star rating from everyone who has left a review. The level of detail that Pam is willing to help you on in this stressful period of selling a house is amazing. I had moved out of state and was trying to sell a house that had not quite finished a renovation, and Pam took this in her stride and helped me get it to a point where the house sold right on the mark I had been hoping for. She personally helped with everything from organising contractors, quotes, junk removal, garden maintenance to repairing damage that was done while the house was unoccupied. Everything for the process of selling my house was delivered on time and in such a friendly professional manner, that it left no question about trusting Pam's recommendations and counsel. I have no hesitation in recommending Pam and the Jacobs Group for anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Barrington area.

We engaged the Jacobs Group to list our home for sale. Pam Jacobs and her team are true professionals and focus on the needs of the client from initial introduction to the close of the transaction. They present the realities of the market and discuss options to achieve the best results. They provide a current, thorough analysis of the market in the local area considering all appropriate comparable properties, discounting aged sales, property location within the neighborhood, school districts, and property condition. They help set an achievable price and challenge the use of inappropriate comparisons both with prospective buyers and appraisers. They are truly an integrated team and communicate among one another and with the client. I never failed to get a response to my calls, emails or texts. They all knew the current status and someone would quickly sent an answer. They provided a photographer who took amazing photos and published them across dozens of real estate platforms. Pam and her team were able to find a buyer and we closed on the sale just 39 days after the initial listing. I highly recommend the Jacobs Group.

Pam is a complete professional and a real pleasure to work with. Thanks to her thorough knowledge of the previous history of local sales in comparable neighborhoods and price range, she quickly came up with what proved to be an optimal price point and comprehensive marketing strategy that led to the sale of our home within seven days of listing at full asking price. Her recommendations as to what we needed to do around the house in advance of the listing to increase potential buyer value were spot on for a home at our price level. Additionally, her support team of real estate experts made the entire transaction process seamless, expeditious and pleasant.

Pam was referred to us by a friend. Use her! She met all of our requirements plus more. She is a full-time dedicated agent who knows her stuff: highly knowledgeable about local areas, professional presentation, business approach, and communication; includes professional stager (which is a MUST); and is a keen negotiator with attention to fairness to all parties.

Gregg Elders was the agent that made appointments for me to see homes and often drove me to showings because I don't drive. He was excellent in narrowing down the choices based on my preferences, which kept being refined as I saw more homes, and was extremely good at communication, responsiveness and staying in touch. We saw many homes and in the end found a perfect one for me. We were the first people to see the home when it was listed and even though there was a competing offer, we were able to purchase it. Also--the mortgage process became logged down because the underwriter kept asking for more information and they also were understaffed to handle the volume within their organization and Gregg was helpful in communicating both with the lender and my attorney to get the "clear to close" on time. I would highly recommend this group. Marja Riccio

We worked with Gregg to find a new home in Barrington. He was wonderful to work with and helped us find the home we decided to purchase. He scheduled several showings, answered all of our questions, and made suggestions about homes for us. He made the process easy and enjoyable. Other people in the group were also helpful throughout the buying process. I would highly recommend working with Gregg and the Jacobs Group.
