Working with Jake to buy our home in Blacksburg was such a great experience from start to finish. The whole process felt seamless and way less stressful than we expected. Everyone communicated really well throughout the process, and we always felt informed and taken care of. One of the biggest things that stood out was Jake’s knowledge and negotiation skills. He helped guide us through every step and gave us great advice and negotiating strategies that really worked in our favor. We always felt like he truly had our best interests at heart. We absolutely love our new home and are so thankful for all of Jake’s help along the way. We’d definitely recommend him to anyone buying or selling in the Blacksburg area!

Jake has helped us close on a few properties. My go to realtor. Easy to work with, communicative, and helps answer all the questions necessary. Highly reccommend

Jake was amazing to work with. It was our first time buying a home so we truly had no idea what we were doing or where to even start. Jake is super knowledgeable and great at walking you through how things work, it definitely helped ease our minds. He quickly learned what we liked and didn’t like and was able to help us ultimately find the perfect home! From the search process to the millions of paperwork to the walkthroughs, he was great to work with and his team was incredible helpful too. We knew if something needed attention we could trust him 100% to get it done!

Selling a home is generally never an easy experience, even under the best of circumstances. In our case, the home had been in our family for 51 years and held a lifetime of memories, family, and most everything I can remember from my childhood. Plus, we lived 3.5 hours away from the home. As soon as we began thinking of selling the home, the entire process had the possibility of being an overwhelmingly emotional and stressful ordeal. From the moment we met Kim and Rob, we knew immediately that we were placing our trust in the right hands. They worked tirelessly to facilitate the contractors, painters, and plumbers. They remained in constant communication with us, with regular calls, texts and emails. They counseled and guided us, and we always felt that they held our best interest at heart. At every turn, we were so thankful to have Kim and Rob working with us. Although the emotional aspect can never really be eliminated, Kim and Rob made selling our home as smooth of a process one could ever imagine. We, without a doubt, feel like we could not have got through this with any other realtor. My wife and I are deeply appreciative for all the Thacker's have done, for their tirelessly hard work, for their advocacy, patience and friendship.

I worked with Jake to purchase a house and I had a very easy experience. Jake was professional and was able to answer all of my questions. He also seemed well connected and helped me get answers to all of my questions. He even gave me contacts for use in the future if I ever need work done. He made the experience easy and quick and was friendly and professional.

Jake is an excellent agent and a lot of fun to work with. He has assisted us on both the buy and sell sides, and in both cases, he has been honest, serious, and extremely competent. He also has a knack for making what appears to be a mountain of work, like selling a house during the offseason (September), an easy and painless experience; he had us under contract in less than a week. What we appreciated most during both engagements was his responsive communication and his "let's solve the problem" attitude.

Jake Hinson……… we’d need a book for our experience. My now wife and I COULD not recommend a better realtor! This will be the third home I have bought and this is the best experience I have had with a realtor. I thought my last realtor was the best and don’t get me wrong he was great but Jake and his team exceed all expectations and went above the 5 star rating I can provide. My wife and I looked for our home for over a year with Jake, he showed us countless homes and sometimes the same one multiple times while compensating our insane schedules. He would work all hours of the day and from any country while he was on vacation and taking care of personal matters. In his absence there was never a time his team didn’t step up and treat us as their top priority in his place. Then when we found our home there were some unfortunate events that led to the deal not working out but while out of town ourselves he reach out to us and had the deal back on weeks later. To go beyond that we closed only one day after the original closing date through his relationships he has built in the industry making dreams come true! Let’s add the fact that I know I’m in no way an easiest client either ! Thank you Jake and thank you to those that worked with him to bring us to our home tor grow our boys in!

The Thacker Group was very helpful when I was looking and purchasing my new home. They were always just a text message or phone call away and I could reach out at anytime. Kim was able to get me in to different homes when it worked for my schedule and she was usually able to get me in right away.

Selling my late mother’s estate was one of the most emotional and overwhelming experiences my family has faced, but working with Kim and Rob Thacker of Thacker Real Estate Group made all the difference. From our first conversation, they brought not only deep real estate expertise but also warmth, empathy, and an unwavering commitment to making the process as smooth and respectful as possible. Kim and Rob treated the sale of my mother’s home not as a transaction, but as a meaningful chapter in our family’s story. They listened to our needs, provided invaluable advice on what we should expect during the process. Every detail was handled with professionalism, transparency, and care. They communicated clearly, responded promptly, and consistently advocated for our best interests. Their calm and confident guidance helped ease the emotional weight of the process and brought us peace of mind. Thanks to Kim and Rob, the estate sold quickly, but more importantly, it was done with dignity, integrity, and a level of personal care that went far beyond our expectations. If you are looking for realtors who are not only exceptional at what they do but who also genuinely care about the people they serve, I cannot recommend Kim and Rob Thacker of Thacker Real Estate Group highly enough.

Jake is an effective agent and a great guy! I highly recommend working with him if you are moving to the Blacksburg area. He answered all our questions quickly and thoroughly. Again, highly recommend working with Jake!
