My personal testimonial of Jessica is from my recent experience she, represented my husband and me on the purchase of a building. Jessica is incredibly professional and committed to the outcome no matter how long it takes. Jessica is very skilled at assisting you to make informed decisions, not emotional ones. Specifically, when I had trouble choosing between two buildings, Jessica sat down and went over all of the pros and cons of both buildings and what my longterm goals were. You would think she would have pushed me toward the building that was $500,000 more but she didn't, she helped me to work out which building was best for me, and it ended up being the more affordable of the two options. Jessica partnered with me every step of the way and I ended up in a building that I love. She even had a surprise "you go the building" party and got all of my employees involved and made an extra special sign. She truly cares about her clients and it shows.

My professional testimonial of Jessica comes from my vast experience as a service provider in the valley working with hundreds of real estate agents. This might sound ridiculous but one of the things that set Jessica apart from her peers is that she answers her phone and her email. I know, it seems like a silly thing but the biggest complaint I hear during real estate transactions with my business is that they can never reach the realtor. You can count on Jessica to get back to you immediately if she doesn't answer the phone and to be on top her email and correspondence.

Stephanie R.

Jessica is not only an amazing person but a fantastic realtor. Jessica has been helping us off and on for years with various real estate questions and projects. She is very responsive in her communication and as a bonus she sends her clients little gifts throughout the year. You would not go wrong with Jessica in your corner.

Jae G.

Jessica is great to work with. She is attentive and very communicative which is so appreciated when your under the stress of trying to buy and/ or sell a home. I am so thankful to Jessica for facilitating the sale of my home and also helping facilitate the renovation of another home I recently moved into.

Patty T.

I absolutely recommend Jessica Leiler! She makes house buying so understandable and finds any answer I need, very quickly. I enjoy how she makes work feel fun! Thank you~

Kelly K.

Thank you so much. 9 month journey but I wound up getting a beautiful first home which also happened to be the one I wanted when I found it a few months prior. You helped keep me educated throughout the entire process and were very easy to work with. Wonderful communication and helped keep the stress of the entire process to a minimum.

Noel M.

Jessica is one of the best agents around. She is super knowledgeable, very patient, and when it’s time to submit an offer and prepare for close, she’s tentative, a cheerleader and naturally becomes a friend. I’d highly recommend her for first time homebuyers, or HECM for Purchase buyers——these two demographics is where she shines!

Richelle H.

Jessica Leiler is by far the most outstanding Realtor we've ever met. We sold our house in 2020, when the market was truly insane.The realtor that was selling our house for us had failed us in many ways. He was supposed to have found us a house to buy while selling our home. He made alot of mistakes in our sale. We found ourselves in a very bad position. We'd accepted a bad offer on our house, and our realtor hadn't shown us a single house to buy. One of the offers that had come in to buy our house was very professionally written, with a beautiful cover letter. I thought to myself, that's the Realtor we need to find us a house.

We reached out to Jessica, and that was the best decision we made through that entire process. She found us a home in time, that really was almost everything we had asked for.We moved forward with the inspection. The home inspector said the house needed a roof replacement. The home seller lied and said it was new. Jessica's husband, a contractor, got one of his roofers to take a second look, called out the seller for lying, and got us a new roof. Jessica even helped the seller's inexperienced realtor prepare a package for the appraiser to get the right value.Jesica became a friend during this process, and was there anytime we had questions, or to calm me down when i was freaking out. We have such faith and trust in her that we sent our daughter to her.

Lynn R.

Jamie and Jessica Leiler did some home improvements for us. They did an excellent job on our 2 bathrooms and our kitchen. We would recommend them highly.

Karen R.

Jessica kept our financial desires & other preferences in mind as she chose the properties we were to view, while maintaining a friendly presence.

Debe K.

Super informative and willing to go beyond her job to make sure things go perfect for her clients. I appreciate everything she has done for us and continues to do for us. Thank you jessica!!!
