Client Testimonials and Reviews

 CLIENT TESTAMONIALS - JESSICA WALLACE - REALTOR 


Having not purchased in a home in over 20 years, it was important to find an experienced realtor to guide me through the process. Thank goodness Jessica was my realtor! She listened and understood what I was looking for and when I found it, she guided me through a competitive bid process to ultimate success! Jessica's extensive experience was key for this very positive outcome. I can easily recommend Jessica to anyone seeking to purchase a home.~ Home Buyer C. Pavan 

Selling our home in Soquel during a difficult real estate market could have been overwhelming, but Jessica made the entire process seamless and successful. Despite slower buyer activity and high interest rates, she approached every step with expertise, confidence, and a clear strategy tailored to our local market and our home.

From the initial consultation and market analysis through closing, Jessica demonstrated exceptional professionalism. The marketing campaign was outstanding — beautiful photography and video, expert staging guidance, and a fantastic online presentation that truly highlighted our property’s strengths. She kept us informed every step of the way, provided honest feedback, and negotiated skillfully to complete the sale.

Jessica’s deep knowledge of the Santa Cruz area and genuine commitment to her clients sets her apart. We recommend Jessica to anyone looking to sell their home. ~ Soquel Home Seller Steve D.

We can’t say enough about what a great experience we had working with Jessica and her team. We contacted Jessica in early December and my mom’s house was listed in mid-January. We spent most of December emptying the house and garage of 30 years of furniture and belongings. Melissa worked her magic in January. She had an extensive rolodex of vendors that she had worked with in the past. She suggested strategic updates to the house such as new light fixtures that she personally selected from Amazon to replace dated fixtures (they were the perfect addition and did not break the bank). We used her recommended vendors; cleaners for a deep clean of the house, then carpet cleaner, window washer and finally a painter to paint the downstairs walls and kitchen cabinets. The day after the painter finished, the stager was in and the next day the photographer took pictures and the house was listed on the MLS the next day. I still can’t believe that she was able to get everything lined up so quickly following the holidays. She did an exceptional job orchestrating everything down to the last detail. We were out of town so it was wonderful having someone coordinate the house preparation that was local and had such good connections.
She also did a wonderful job marketing the house including on line write up, photos, etc. She held a broker tour and multiple open houses including Saturday and Sunday showings the first two weekend. She did a great job of communicating progress along the way. And best of all she got us a full price offer! I would highly recommend Jessica for anyone looking to sell a home in the Santa Cruz area – she really is fantastic. - Aptos Home Seller Karin W.

Jessica was our agent in buying a house, she was our selling agent when we sold it and she found another house for me and was my agent in buying that last year. Jessica is great to work with, she worked hard and made allot happen for us, and still is. What I like most about working with her is, she is very professional at the same time as being very accessible, fun and easy, she felt like a friend right away. I always recommend her to people I know are looking for a home. ~ Brent Sumner Seller & Buyer
 
In 2008, we were referred to Realtor Jessica Wallace to aid our research on a possible second property purchase in Santa Cruz County.  Over the next three years we received Real Estate listing and pending sale updates from Jessica on a daily basis, complemented with periodic commentary on local market conditions.  By late 2010, we were pragmatically painfully aware of a sound business need to sell our primary residence in Pleasure Point.
So who are we going to call?  We called Jessica Wallace, an energetic no nonsenseRealtor with a lengthier than lengthy prospective client list.   Jessica provided helpful suggestions and resources that further helped to expedite our marketing preparations.   
The only disagreement we encountered during the entire process was between Jessica and some of her colleagues.  Some of them argued that our house should list for as much as seventy thousand dollars less than Jessica's suggested list price. 
To make a short story short, escrow closed thirty-two (32) days from date of listing at Jessica's full price recommendation, end of argument!
Over the years we have bought or sold a number of properties in several northern California counties, several in which we represented ourselves as seller or buyer, and several during which we saw fit to fire our Realtor.  Of course, in today's market it's ill advised for a seller not to work with a good Realtor.  Jessica Wallace is a good Realtor, the best we've ever worked with.  But don't take our word for it.
Who are you going to call?
You're welcome to call us if you want to hear more about Jessica's effective no nonsense ability to sell your house, or you can just call Jessica and find out for yourself.

Jessica Wallace acted as my family's agent when we moved to Santa Cruz County from elsewhere in 2011. She was energetic, savvy, thoughtful, and highly respectful of the (diverse) interests of our family, which must have required a good deal of patience! She saw us through to purchasing a wonderful house. We are so pleased with the outcome. I was especially impressed with how she handled a variety of issues that came up during the period when we closed on the property. She represented our interests very well. If a friend were looking for a realtor, I would have no hesitation in giving her my highest recommendation.  ~ Buyer 106 Moore Creek, Santa Cruz
 
Jessica was always available when I called and was very responsive to my requests. She even went our of her way to arrange things like the fumigation and contacted all the neighbors - even finding them at coffee shops! Great to work with! I would definitely recommend her services!  ~ 3608 Moana, Santa Cruz

 
We chose Jessica Wallace as our agent for many reasons. Her positive attitude and professional demeanor made it easy for us to relay to her exactly what we were looking for in a home. She was able to find us the perfect home. Keeping the dialog open made the whole process easier on us, since this is our first home and there are many hoops to jump through to buy a house. I will, and have already, recommend Jessica to others looking to buy a home.  ~ Buyer 10839 West, Felton

 
Jessica found the perfect home for me quickly and smoothly. The entire buying experience was stress free for me due to her professionalism and skill. I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a home.
~ Buyer 142 Harbor Oaks, Santa Cruz
 
Jessica helped me find and buy our dream property. I was really picky about location and requirements as we have "pretty unique multi-use plans" with the property. She patiently listened and really understood our needs. She never wasted our time on bringing up or showing us properties that didn't fit. We sent several counter offers back and forth and while I probably would have bought way earlier for a higher price, Jessica stood by me and made sure I didn't rush things or spend too much....in fact I spent less than half(!!!) of what the seller originally wanted. This was the 1st property I ever bought with much to learn for me. Jessica assisted me throughout the process and made sure I did all the inspections during the contingency period. She even went to the county office for us and called up the septic and well guys for me. Over all a very professional and very pleasant experience. 5 stars indeed!  V. Haag ~515 Calabasas Rd
 
 
 
Jessica Wallace was extremely knowledgeable of the area we were looking in and we would NEVER have become homeowners without her expertise and follow thru.  She was never pushy and was always available to show us properties that would become available in our price range while, at the same time, kept us focused on our goal of this one property in particular.  Jessica is an extremely good listener and her attention to detail sets her aside as a professional realtor.  At no time did we feel as though we were being controlled or manipulated so that she could make a sale - she genuinely wanted us to be extremely happy with our home.  In our particular case, there were many financial obstacles that had to be overcome but her determination and straightforward approach allowed us to become home owners.  I would encourage anyone who is serious about buying a home to have Jessica on YOUR SIDE!  She is a very gifted and talented woman with the customer always coming fist.

As a realtor, Jessica Wallace went above and beyond the call of duty in helping us find a home. I came to Jessica in the summer of 2008 looking to buy a home in the area. She took me to see dozens of homes and was always on time and prepared. It took us several months to actually find the home we eventually bought, and Jessica was with us every step of the way, acting as a liazon between us and the mortgage broker as well as the seller- a difficult to deal with bank. She even attended our escrow closing and made sure we were not overcharged in closing costs. I would not hesitate to recommend Jessica to anyone looking to buy real estate.  ~ Sheldon Family, Prunedale, Ca
 
 My husband and I relied upon Jessica Wallace to successfully bid on and secure our present home in Soquel last Spring.  Her warm personality and careful advising made her a pleasure to work with.  She grew up in the Santa Cruz area and has given us many insights into our new location.

Jessica also successfully sold our house in Los Altos in early summer of last year, after only two weekend open houses.  Jessica created quality flyers, managed the open houses, helped with the staging of our home, and arranged for the help of contractors; expediting a quick sale.

During our house buying and selling, and during our stressful move to Soquel, Jessica was reliable, kind, supportive, and always available to assist.  We would highly recommend Jessica Wallace as a responsible, caring, and effective realtor.

Sincerely,
David and Kathryn Wilson

Jessica was very easy to work with.  She is very well informed and more than happy to help.  It was a pleasure working with her.  I have already recommended her to a friend. ~ Buyer 105 Lincoln St, Watsonville
 
We were nothing but pleased with the level of service we received from Jessica Wallace. She took the time and made sure she understood our needs. She was extremely knowlegable in the real estate market we were looking in and was able to help us find exactly what we were looking for. We look forward to working with her again in the future. ~Towles Family, Aptos, CA
 
My husband and I hired Jessica as our Realtor. Previous to her we had worked with another realtor but did not get the results that we were hoping for. Jessica's website was very helpful and we were given automatic updates of listings that fit our criteria. Jessica always followed through with whatever we asked for and was always available to us by phone or email. We eventually found a home that we wanted and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a very reliable and honest realtor.~Agnes Kim 322 30th Ave, Santa Cruz, CA
 

Jessica was very professional and honest. She went out of her way to explain everything to me in a way I could understand. She kept us on schedule and made all arrangements for the inspections. She was very helpful getting all my questions answered because she knew exactly who to call for each and every situation. 222 Rancho Rio – Ben Lomond
