As a seller, Jake was an excellent agent to work with throughout both the listing and closing process. As someone who would be overwhelmed trying to DIY the sale of my property thousands of miles away (I live in Alaska) Jake made sure to take care of all the details and advocate for getting a fair deal, even through unforeseen issues with the condition of my property. He was transparent, honest, reasonable and responsive. I would highly recommend him on either side of any real estate transaction.

Jake was an outstanding listing agent to work with. He made the entire process smooth and comfortable for both me and my buyers. His communication was excellent—he was always quick to respond to questions and kept everyone informed throughout the transaction.
Jake made it easy for my clients to access the property for showings and walkthroughs, and he was always receptive, professional, and willing to answer any questions that came up along the way. His teamwork and attention to detail made for a great experience from start to finish.
I look forward to working with Jake again in the future and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and professional real estate agent.

I can’t recommend Jake highly enough. Selling this property was one of the more challenging real estate transactions I’ve experienced. It was a distressed property located in a very difficult area, and as an out-of-state seller, I needed someone I could fully trust to take ownership and handle everything on the ground.
From the beginning to the closing, Jake stepped up and managed every challenge that came up. We ran into almost every possible issue, including last-minute buyer concerns, inspection problems, repair issues, and unexpected complications that needed immediate attention. Jake stayed calm, patient, and professional through it all. He communicated clearly, kept me updated, and worked tirelessly to get each problem resolved.
What impressed me most was that Jake took charge and became someone I could rely on. He was responsive, knowledgeable, friendly, and always focused on finding solutions. Despite all the issues with this distressed property, he helped get the property sold quickly and successfully.
If you’re looking for a real estate agent who is dependable, proactive, and especially someone you can trust when you’re not physically there, I would highly recommend Jake. He made a very stressful situation much easier, and I’m extremely grateful for his help.
