"My wife and I recently worked with Jessica to secure a new home in Westchester County NY. The experience was fantastic. Jessica was prompt, knowledgeable, responsive, and without a doubt had our best interest in mind. I would not hesitate to recommend Jessica to anyone who is looking for a home in NY/CT. Thanks Jess"

"Jessica was great. She was very responsive and did an excellent job helping us pick the perfect place. We were first time homebuyers, but we had a solid idea of what we were looking for and Jessica was great about listening to us and didn't try to sell us on something we didn't actually want." - William

"You will not find a more honest, trustworthy agent. Jessica is knowledgeable about many areas and only took us to areas and properties she knew we were interested in and did not give us the run around. She went out of her way to questions that had nothing to do with the properties, (i.e. parking, train, etc., the area in general, restaurants, etc.). The experience was less stressful because I trusted her and her judgment. She pointed out the positive and the negative in each property. I would highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking to purchase any property. She is extremely responsive when I called or sent her a text message."

"Jessica was great from the beginning! Super responsive and understood immediately what we were looking for. In the second round of house hunting we found the ideal condo fulfilling our wish list and beyond! She was very very supportive throughout the whole process until we became first time home owners. Without her it wouldn’t have been the same! Totally recommend her, you will feel you’re working with a very good friend on what is one of the most important decisions :). Thanks again for everything, Jessica! :)"

"Jessica was great. She always had our best interests in mind. Extremely thoughtful. She was the best agent we worked with in our most recent search for a home. I would recommend her to anyone." - Ray
One of the most important reasons that home buyers and sellers alike rely on Jessica is because, beyond her knowledge, integrity, sincerity and business acumen, her top priority is understanding and delivering on her clients needs. Many individuals enter the extremely overwhelming process of home buying with a dream home and no idea how to find it. Jessica's steady commitment to learning every aspect of her clients goals and her poise under pressure make the experience enjoyable and seamless. Most of all, Jessica's passion for Real Estate is surpassed only by her desire to help others, because she values the trust her clients place in her on guiding them through one of the most important decisions of their lives. She avails herself to clients at any time, ensures that the lines of communication are open and consistent , and offers patience and attentive guidance throughout the process.
When she is not with clients, Jessica enjoys practicing Bikram yoga, exploring great local restaurants and, most importantly, taking walks on Rye Beach with her four-legged Vizsla, Judge.
