"Choosing Jess to represent us in the sale of our condo was by far the best decision we’ve made all year. We honestly don’t think anyone could have done a better job and cannot recommend him highly enough. We found out firsthand exactly why Jess is consistently rated one of the best in the business and has such an impressive track record: He gets things done. “Moving is stressful enough. As soon as you hand me the keys, I’ll take care of the rest.” Believe him when he tells you this. Jess worked with stagers, handymen, inspectors, carpet installers, appliance delivery staff, movers, and cleaners to get our place ready for sale within 4 days of our move-out date. Two weeks later, we had an offer and Jess managed the wrap-up process and preparation for the new owners. And having just had newborn twins that summer, we really depended on Jess during this time, as we weren’t readily available to manage that process ourselves. All of this was handled by Jess in an amazingly efficient manner. He does his research. We were impressed by Jess’s detailed knowledge of the surrounding properties in our neighborhood. When we referenced different places for sale (past or current), he knew exactly which ones we were talking about, each one’s strengths and weaknesses, what it went for, and how it could influence the sale of our property. He is well connected with other top agents around the area and often has the “inside scoop” on most listings. He is honest, genuine, and easy to work with. Jess has all the qualities you want and needs in an agent. He takes the time to listen to and understand your concerns. His calm, confident and reassuring demeanor immediately put you at ease. And indeed, Jess took care of us every step of the way. Prompt communication was one of the things we looked for in an agent, and Jess is a great communicator. He was always available via phone, text, and email, and kept us updated at all times. And most importantly, he is competent! Selling your home is stressful and a lot of work. And inevitably, unforeseen challenges will arise that will add even more stress to the process. We had a number of unexpected issues with outside parties that needed to be resolved ASAP. Jess addressed and responded to each one immediately, and was calm, firm, and straightforward with his communications, including supporting documentation or detailed explanations when necessary. (Thankfully, we talked through our history at our property and he made sure we included every piece of relevant information in our disclosure package.) We trusted him completely and knew we were in good hands. We had fairly high expectations when we were searching for a Realtor®. Jess exceeded all of them. I’m not sure we would have been as prepared and successful with any other agent. Thanks again for everything, Jess – you’re amazing!"

"Jess has been so incredibly amazing to work with from start to finish. We greatly appreciate transparency and being as honest as possible and Jess was that and so much more.

"Jess has been so incredibly amazing to work with from start to finish. We greatly appreciate transparency and being as honest as possible and Jess was that and so much more. He was so kind, easy to work with, has a lovely personality and a great sense of humor. Throughout our entire house hunting process, he has gone above and beyond to support us on our search to find our first home. Buying a home as many of you can imagine is an exciting and stressful time, to say the least, given that we wanted to find something we would both love and be happy within the years to come. We wanted a safe, quiet, clean environment midway to both of our work locations where we could grow our family with multiple rooms, and a bonus I really wanted was to have a garden for our little dog which we found. Jess was always in our corner reminding us to enjoy the process and told us when it’s “meant to be” we will find the perfect home and we did! Even while we were on vacation and had just submitted our offer, he told us to enjoy our time away and not worry so much because the right home would come to us. I never imagined that we would find our home and purchase it so quickly. I truthfully don’t think we would’ve been successful in our pursuit if it hadn’t been for his expertise and amazing skills. We were able to close in only 15 days! Jess was so easy to work with, knowledgeable, and was always a text or call away. He invested a great deal of his time working to help us and spent a good deal of time sharing detailed statistics on the market which was so helpful when it came down to putting in our offer. He genuinely cared and that meant so much to us. Everything we did was carefully planned out and it was all thanks to Jess. We always felt like we were in good hands. He never kept us waiting or guessing on anything and was so quick to update us on the next steps throughout our entire process. We 100% recommend working with Jess on purchasing your home! Thank you so much, Jess! Vito and I are so happy."

"We couldn’t recommend Jess more highly. We have now purchased and sold a place with Jess. He helped us get the best prices we could reasonably expect on both sides of the transaction.

"We couldn’t recommend Jess more highly. We have now purchased and sold a place with Jess. He helped us get the best prices we could reasonably expect on both sides of the transaction. He handles as much of the work as a real estate agent can, which limits the amount of time you need to put in as much as possible. He is an absolute pleasure to work with. As more context, we are a busy family with two children. We needed someone who could walk us through the process, answer our questions, and make every step as easy as possible. If you are selling, Jess will have trusted vendors help you get the place ready to look its best: painting, repairs, photographer, and staging (or partial staging). He will meet with all of them for you (but you can join too) and make reasonable recommendations that will maximize value. All you have to do is listen to him and follow his recommendations. We followed everything he suggested and it really paid off. Through Jess’s recommendations, our place became gorgeous and we had hundreds of people at our open houses (resulting in several offers). Jess has a great track record of selling homes in a very short amount of time, just ask him for his latest stats. If you are buying, Jess will take a data-driven approach and make sure you are spending what you should. He knows the market really well and how it changes day by day. He will walk you through each document you sign, what it means, and what you are committing to (and whether the terms are reasonable given the market). In short, stop looking further and go with Jess. You will be glad you did."

"Everyone knows the housing market in San Francisco is brutal. From finding an agent, home loan, contractors, to the home itself.

"Everyone knows the housing market in San Francisco is brutal. From finding an agent, home loan, contractors, to the home itself. We went off a recommendation from good friends to set up a meeting with Jess, and they were so right. We first met Jess at one of the Paragon offices, frightened and having no idea what to expect. He was super sweet but very honest from the beginning. He did a great job of patiently framing out the process from beginning to end and his energy was contagious! He came with us to the first few open houses and we recapped what we liked so he could get a feel for our tastes. He’s a part of the top agent network as well so he got us the inside scoop on properties he thought we would like. When we found a place we wanted to put an offer in he was there every step of the way. Even after we closed he checked in with us to make sure we didn’t have any questions, and he even helped us find a flooring team to get the floors refinished before we moved in! I can only imagine how much goes on in the background in real estate here. To know that you have someone like Jess in your corner gives you so much peace of mind through such a stressful process. I can’t imagine anyone doing a better job!"

"Jess came as a recommendation and from the day we met him, he did not disappoint. He started off by sharing detailed statistics on the market and providing an overview of the buying experience in the bay area. With limited inventory, multiple offers and so many neighborhoods to choose from, it's critical to have someone that has local knowledge. Jess brings that experience and if you want an honest opinion, Jess is your guy. We tracked various neighborhoods and houses ourselves but Jess was always there to offer his feedback. He also proactively looked in his agent network for us. When we narrowed properties to tour together, we felt like he knew everyone and it was a very pleasant experience. He understood very quickly what we were looking for and definitely saved us time in our search. In the end, we found a house through our own search in the Peninsula but Jess was great during the diligence and negotiation process. He really helped us win after multiple counteroffers. I would highly recommend Jess!"
