Client Reviews

Jessica helped us both sell a condo and buy a house in Seattle. Jessica was extremely professional. She was very organized and methodical and made both the selling and purchasing process straightforward and enjoyable. She has a very friendly communication style and was articulate in explaining each step and helping answer any questions we had. We had her recommended by a friend and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to either buy or sell.

We hired Jessica to help us buy a house, and then sell our house in Seattle. After considering and interviewing other agents, we hired Jessica because we felt comfortable talking with her, she was professional, and had a good track record of success. We took our time looking for our new house and finally after a year, found the one that felt right for us. We were not in a rush and took our time, and Jessica understood our priorities and helped us assess pros/cons of houses with honesty and we never felt pressured to pursue a house that didn't suit us. After purchasing, we continued to work with Jessica to sell our old house. She had great suggestions on areas to focus on for remodeling and touch-up work and that was key in attracting buyers and getting a solid offer. The sale of the house went very smoothly and we were extremely happy with the entire process. All along the way we felt like Jessica always listened to us carefully and answered our questions, and gave us invaluable guidance. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a Realtor.

Because of Jessica, I am now living in my dream home! She is very intelligent, professional, and quick to respond in a very competitive housing market. Working with Jessica has made all the difference in finding my perfect home. She answered all of my random housing questions clearly and always followed up with even the smallest details. I feel very grateful for her work and lucky to have found such a responsive and knowledgeable agent

Jessica is incredibly knowledgeable about the real estate process and current trends and strategies in an ever-changing market. Her insight and calm helped us sell and get through what could have been an incredibly stressful time much easier. I would recommend Jessica to anyone entering the home buying or selling process for the first time, or anyone who is looking for an agent with a wealth of knowledge and professionalism.

We spoke to a few Realtors before finding Jessica, but none of them seemed to have the time for us. We were blown off or passed on to other "team members" or on a few occasions, never given return calls when they were scheduled. It was painful.

Luckily for us, we stumbled upon Jessica on Zillow and thanks to her we just closed on our new home.

Jessica was professional, punctual, super easy to communicate with and always there when we needed her. She was extremely patient during our lengthy home search. I'd recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a Realtor in the Seattle area. Easily the best Realtor we have had the pleasure of working with.

Very organized and great attention to detail. The process of staging, listing, and closing went very smoothly.

I have worked with Jessica on multiple purchases and listings. She has always been thorough and professional in all our interactions. For this listing (and all my other listings), I didn't have to do anything other than sign the papers to get my property sold WAY above the asking price and expectations. Having her on my side saves a lot of headaches and my time. She always has my best interest in mind. It is great to work with someone you can trust completely.

Jessica is amazing. Over the past 7 years she has helped me buy two houses and sell one. She's knows what she is doing, is very responsive, and clearly works hard for her clients. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in buying or selling in the greater Seattle area. Hopefully we are now in our forever home and will die here many decades from now. But if we ever need to move again, we will be giving her a call.

During about the most aggressive market in the history of the Seattle area, we felt fortunate to have Jessica as our agent. Though we know she had other clients, we always felt she was fully dedicated to helping us find the home we wanted. She was always quick to respond, answer questions, and educate us on the process. She talked through some tough decisions with us, and was a calm presence when my husband and I were feeling anxious about the competitiveness of the market. We always enjoyed the time we spent with her, and though we're happily in our home and done with the process, we'll miss seeing her.

From our first meeting prior to choosing Jessica and up to closing day, we always felt we had her full attention during the process of selling our condo. She understands the Seattle market (and beyond), and helped us determine a reasonable listing price based on neighborhood sales. Prior to listing, she helped us focus on what were the best items to repair in our condo without us going overboard on unnecessary updates. We chose not to have it staged, but her photographer did a great job highlighting the condo's layout and territorial view. For the open houses, she placed several signs throughout the condo calling attention to its features for potential buyers. She was always responsive, and a patient teacher for us first-time sellers. We truly enjoyed working with her and look forward to buying our next home with her!

Jessica Livingston is a dream to work with! I was moving from a sleepy South Sound town where I had lived for 27 years. I wanted to be closer to my family and services available in a larger area. We looked at 60+ homes in 6 weeks and Jessica was so patient and helped me define what I was looking for. I ended up with a cozy home 3 miles from the grandkids and granddog and am happily settling in. She is a detail person and a great negotiator in making a deal. Plus just fun to be around!

With Jessica's help, I first purchased a house below the bidding price.  When selling my townhouse, she contacted the preferred bidder to obtain better quoting terms so that I could sell my townhouse at the same terms of the next-in-line bidder. 

The best part is, I traveled a lot during the period that I planned to buy my house and sell my townhouse.  My husband was not even in US at the time of selling the condo. Jessica was able to work with my schedules, planned all upcoming events, and foresaw problems due to possible absence of my husband so that both transactions were completed without any delays. She is very knowledgeable agent and always makes my interests the first priority.

Jessica was great to work with. She's available, knowledgable, thorough, and somebody we could put our trust in. I'd highly recommend her to anyone that needs an excellent agent to help you find a home.

Jessica always puts my interests before hers and gives me the best recommendations when time is appropriate.

Such a wonderful person and agent. She is helpful without being overbearing. A delight to work with!

This has been the second time I've worked with Jessica, and I am glad I chose her again. She made sure the unit was well presented and closed. Although we didn't close on-time, it had nothing to do with her abilities. We were delayed because of the appraisal taking longer than anticipated.

She always kept me informed when new information was available, and she was very responsive during the week and weekends. She has great experience and knowledge and it reflects in everything she does. I would definitely recommend working with her if you are looking for a real estate agent.

Jessica is very professional, experienced and great at what she does. She made the process smooth and easy, starting with listing and ending with a successful sale.

Jessica was absolutely wonderful to work with! She is passionate about real estate and incredibly knowledgable about the rapidly-changing Seattle market. Jessica always made herself available to show us homes we were interested in on short notice, both on weekdays and weekends.

We ended up submitting two offers, and both were accepted. The first home was a new construction in Ballard. After our inspection uncovered that all of the siding on the home was installed improperly, Jessica helped us navigate what to do. She did a lot of research on houses with similar issues and put us in contact with several different experts (including the manufacturers of the siding) to get their opinions. Ultimately, we decided the risk was too great, and we backed out.

When our Capitol Hill townhouse went on the market, Jessica was available to show it to us early, before the first open house. She very quickly scheduled a pre-inspection and helped us come up with an offer that was competitive but still comfortable for us. She also kept us updated every step of the way as we were anxiously waiting the results after submitting our offer. I would absolutely recommend working with Jessica - especially to first-time home buyers!

Jessica was very professional and had excellent knowledge of the area. She was patient and did not rush us during our process. We submitted multiple offers and she always went above and beyond to try and help us close the sale, like calling the agent and giving us great negotiating advice. In addition, she helped coordinate the outstanding work left on the house after closing that the buyer committed to and did not complete. She always had great advice on the homes that we looked at and has extensive knowledge about renovation costs. She is also an established agent with numerous contacts so we were always able to get an inspection or sewer scope. She is a great communicator and always on time or early. She worked with our busy schedules to see homes. Even though she has many clients we always got personalized attention. We loved working with her and would do so again. Thanks Jessica!

Jessica Livingston is an outstanding real estate agent!  As first time home buyers we had a lot of questions, especially buying a home in competitive neighborhoods in Seattle. With such a stressful process, Jessica truly added some sanity to it.  She sat with my husband and I months before when we had questions about how to start the process of buying a home. She was patient with our questions and sent us off with a lot of great information and recommendations for lenders to start the pre-approval process. When we were ready, she started sending us listings that fit our wish list and setting up appointments to look at homes right away.  When seeing a home, my husband and I were focused on how "pretty" the house was, while Jessica was checking the electrical box, the appliances, making notes and pointing out things we may need to fix right away or might not pass a VA appraisal. She offered a lot of great information when it came to making an offer on a home. She kept us in the loop through the whole process. When we were finally under contract, Jessica connected us with great home inspection and sewer scope services to help us understand the condition of the home. At closing she helped us understand the documents we were signing and even pointed out a credit to us the lender missed. We truly felt like we had a great resource throughout this process. She was patient with us and offered so much information that helped us make an informed decision. We ended up finding a great house that we are excited to call our first home! I would recommend Jessica to anyone who is looking for an exceptional real estate agent! We would use her again in the future as well!

Jessica was professional, friendly, and incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. When we decided to start seriously home shopping (after a few months of browsing open houses on our own), we called her on a recommendation from our friends who recently worked with her to buy a house in Wallingford. A couple days later, we toured a bunch of homes across North Seattle, one of which we ended up buying. She gave us great feedback about each house we saw, including what sort of repairs we might be looking at and how much they might cost. She also gave us guidance about how much we could expect each house to sell for, which was especially helpful given how competitive the North Seattle market can be! Jessica helped us negotiate an offer within a couple of days, and we had a signed contract by the end of the weekend.

Throughout the inspection and closing process, Jessica kept everything running on track and made it so we didn't have to worry about any of the details. She was very responsive whenever we had questions, and we relied a lot on her experience doing home renovations for advice about how to prioritize potential updates/repairs. Aside from her professionalism, she was friendly and easygoing, and all in all a great person to guide us through the home buying process! We would definitely recommend working with her.

Jessica was excellent, professional and extremely knowledgeable. We had 45 days to buy a home and she delivered. She knew exactly how much to bid. She always answers her phone. We will use her again next year.

Jessica is an amazing agent! This is now the second time Jessica has helped us buy a home and we couldn’t be more pleased! Her knowledge of the housing market was invaluable, as she gave us a good idea of the value of various houses and what price they would fetch. Touring homes with her was incredibly insightful. Her attention to detail helped us notice important features/problems/benefits that we may have overlooked if we were by ourselves. Jessica is friendly, not pushy, very experienced, and incredibly dedicated to her clients. We were so impressed with the time and efforts she put into ensuring we found the exact home we were searching for, and made every effort in her power to guarantee a successful and timely closing. We highly recommend her!

Working with Jessica was an absolutely amazing experience! As first time buyers in the Seattle market, we were a bit overwhelmed before meeting Jessica to say the least in such a competitive market. As soon as we sat down, Jessica asked us detailed questions about our preferences and even took down notes of every place we were visiting once we started actually seeing townhomes. I felt like I could ask Jessica any question- whether it be for referrals on a lender in the area or just how often a house should be painted. We ended up spending only 1 month looking and after our 3rd try at an offer, we found our dream home. Jessica knew exactly what we should do to make the offer competitive while still staying in our comfort zone with price. If you are a first time home buyer and new to the Seattle market (or even if you are not!) I highly recommend using Jessica the next time you are buying or selling a home. I know I can reach out to her with questions any time and am already sad I won't be seeing or hearing from her on a weekly basis! Thanks again for all your help Jessica!

Jessica was absolutely amazing! Being a first-time homebuyer as well as new to the Seattle area, I was really nervous about the whole process. Jessica was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and the real estate market and was great at explaining all the nuances and walking me through any of my concerns. We were able to find a great place within my price range, win a bidding war with 2 other offers in, still win at a good price, and close on the house in 3 weeks! Jessica was actually able to address concerns before I had them and caught a lot of details that I would have never noticed - and this ended up saving me quite a bit of money in the end! I didn't realize how much paperwork and detailed negotiation went on in the background when purchasing a home, but Jessica kept me up to speed with everything, communicated my options, and helped me make informed decisions with this important purchase. Jessica's experience and expertise was key to making my purchase smooth and easy. I will definitely be referring my friends and family in the future and would be happy to serve as a reference. I couldn't recommend Jessica more!

There are a lot of Realtors out there. Jessica is the best. It is not that she does this one thing that no other Realtor does. She does all the things, and she does them all great.

When it was time for us to sell our home we started by asking friends for referrals. Everyone had a least one name to provide and one reason why their name was a good option. We started by reviewing the deal history of their recently sold houses. Many did not get a call after this review. While reviewing recently sold houses, both our neighborhood and neighborhoods that we considered comparable to ours, we made notes of houses with sale stats that were better than average. We compared the sales of neighboring houses and adjusted for seasonality and rare/limited amenities. Now we had a list of houses that we believe did particularly well for their neighborhood and the Realtors who sold those houses. From there we started scanning their recent deal history to understand if this house was an exception or part of a trend. We used this process to narrow down the list to 4 Realtors that seemed to have a trend of doing very well for their sellers. We set up in person meets with these 4 Realtors to understand more.

Jessica came to the meeting the most prepared of the 4. Some of the prep was specific to our house, some of it was just a much better explanation of the process. Jessica provided a great rundown of what to expect and potential pitfalls throughout the process. We asked a bunch of questions, she had great answers to all of them.

As Jessica helped us get the house staged and ready for the listing photos and open house, all of the details came together to make the house look it's absolute best. Anyone who is great at their craft can make it appear easy or effortless. This is true of Jessica. She is meticulous, organized, and great with people. A Realtor is not just managing the buying Realtor and the person(s) buying your home, they are also managing the appraisers, inspectors, and to some extent, the banks that are putting together the money for the funding. Not all of these people are meticulous, and/or organized, so it is important that your representation is. Even with one or two hiccups along the way we managed to keep the closing on schedule and as agreed.

We considered doing a For Sale By Owner and looked at a number of ways to list our house to save on selling costs. I am sure we would have sold our house. I promise it would have sold for less than it did with Jessica's guidance and expertise. As I said in the beginning, Jessica is the best.

Jessica's understanding of the market, professionalism, and her standard of ethics is outstanding. I just wish I had another real estate transaction so I can have the chance to work with her again!

Jessica Livingston is a bright young woman who easily adapts to fit her clients. We had a lovely experience with her as our agent. She is always on time for appointments. As we began our quest to find a new dwelling, she was very attentive and courteous. She paid much attention to small details of our preference in houses. She was able to pinpoint a few of the houses that she thought we might like, based on our comments of the first few houses we've visited. She is thinking for her clients instead of letting them waste their time visiting houses that were of different preferences. She was dedicated to her job as she replied to emails and answered questions as quickly and efficiently as she could. She was also ethically and morally inclined, having her clients’ best interests at heart. She could have tried to provoke us into buying a more expensive residence, earning her more money, but she instead told us her thoughts about an abode as if she were to live there, and not her clients. As we came to a decision of which home to purchase, Jessica was extremely patient with us. She would not push us, just reminded us each house's pros and cons and waited for us to make our own decision. After we signed the purchase agreement, Jessica was great with follow up and reminders of deadlines. She really helped us through the processes and made it much easier to purchase a house than we originally thought. A thoughtful conclusion of our time with her, she sent a beautiful bouquet of flowers in a glass vase to our door. We had a simply sumptuous time working with her and hope that she is able to aid you in finding your next paradisiacal home!

Jessica was the listing agent for my home. I work with many real estate agents in my line of work (Residential Home Loans) so I had my choice of the best out there. Jessica is a standout though...she is always professional and has a can-do attitude. It takes a team and Jessica is one of our favorites to work with so I chose her when I decided to sell my home. As expected, she is organized, knowledgeable, kind, patient and kept me calm and updated.

Jessica was fantastic!  We couldn't have asked for a more professional, pleasant person to work with to sell our home.  She was on top of everything and guided us well through the entire process.  Her initial presentation of services was very thorough, including in-depth specifics on valuation and comparison of other homes that have sold and are currently on the market. Communication and follow through were excellent.  Highly recommend Jessica!

Jessica helped me to find the perfect home! She provided a lot of education for me about the process of home-buying in Seattle, and listened to and understood my needs. I found her to be always professional, calm, knowledgeable, thorough, organized, responsive, thoughtful and supportive. When I needed to switch loan agencies mid-way through the process, she facilitated a perfect solution, and the building inspectors she works with are great too. I recommend her highly!

My fiancé and I purchased our home with Jessica. I think she is terrific, and will refer any friend or colleague of mine looking to buy a home to her. Both my fiancé and I are in businesses where we frequently interact with consultants of different types, and Jessica is the best consultant I've worked with in any line of work, realty or otherwise, and in fact I plan on changing the way I do things to better emulate her approach.

My fiancé had purchased her first home with Jessica, and already had a good relationship with her. When we interviewed Jessica the first time as a couple, I had actually intended to work with someone else who was a personal friend, but I was so impressed with Jessica that we agreed to put friendship aside because we trusted Jessica's judgment and professionalism. I especially appreciated how Jessica could scout a house with a keen eye, and provided feedback that was tailored to the specific information we as a couple valued.

The first step in the process was helping us figure out where to live. We were deciding between Seattle and the Eastside, so Jessica provided feedback and helped as a couple work through our needs. We both tend to be analytical, and Jessica did a great job helping us navigate our decision making using the type of information we both found helpful. She also helped us navigate the specifics of our dynamic market. I was used to prior experiences in a much different market (Pittsburgh, which was a buyer's market), and my fiancé was used to a market in Seattle that was less aggressive a few years ago.

We both appreciated how Jessica was always readily available, which is necessary in a market where you may need to see a house on a moment's notice on a workday, while at the same time being patient and giving us space and not being pushy. She struck the balance between availability and giving us space perfectly...I appreciated how Jessica was able to provide useful information even when I was not in a cognitive space to fully process what I needed to understand. We also changed lenders during our buying process, and Jessica was appropriately supportive during that transition.

Ultimately, we ended up successfully purchasing the first home we bid on in the Education Hill section of Redmond, for less than we had budgeted for. We are thrilled to start our life as a married couple in our new home, and Jessica was a big part of that process. I appreciate that Jessica was able to provide real value added beyond the readily available data on websites like Redfin and Zillow. While this is the first home purchase for me, I have worked with probably about 10 Realtors before when I've thought about purchasing a home, and Jessica is in a class by herself. This is the second home my fiancé purchased with Jessica, and if and when we ever decide to purchase or sell another home, the choice of Realtor will be an easy one. Thank you Jessica Livingston for exceeding expectations and being more awesome than you need to be!"

Jessica knows the Seattle market. She’s helped us multiple times. For the purchase and sale of our house in Magnolia and our condo on Capitol Hill. We are now looking for our next house and wouldn't think about using anyone but her. She is more knowledgable and hardworking than any real estate agent I've met.

Jessica was truly wonderful to work with in buying our home. We were in the unfortunate circumstance of not being able to look around Seattle much in person before we needed to buy a house (military service and job obligations…), she wonderfully video toured many houses with us, arranged tons of things since we were out of the area and couldn't do it ourselves, even helping us pick what color to paint our new house! All in all, I couldn't have asked for anything more and she regularly surprised me with her thoughtfulness and willingness to go above and beyond.

Jessica was exceptionally easy to work with and is very good at what she does. Our entire buying process, from asking Jessica to be our agent to closing on our house took about 3 weeks. When we first met with her we were impressed by her attention to detail, knowledge of the market and her consultative approach and style. We looked at one house and knew immediately that we wanted to make an offer on it. Jessica expertly guided us through the nuances of pricing in the current market conditions and steered us to a successful offer. She was amazingly responsive to our questions and concerns throughout the process and made us feel like we were a priority for her. Highly recommend!

I cannot think of the words to express how wonderful it was working with Jessica! Upon meeting her, I had a lot of confidence in her ability and I was not disappointed. I have never before worked with a Realtor who was so excellent at what she does. She is professional, proactive, and an excellent communicator. I did not have to follow-up with her to make sure that things were getting done, which made the whole process of selling simple and worry-free. Although there were some challenges with my sale, she handled everything expertly. She is knowledgeable and truly represents her client. I wish I could work with her all over again :) I cannot recommend her highly enough!!!

We recently had Jessica represent us in selling our first house in Seattle, and it was an amazing experience, from start to finish! We initially met with her to discuss our future plans, which included selling our house in NE Seattle (one she'd helped us buy ~ 6 years ago). She spent a couple hours with us discussing updates we'd done, really getting to know the house, and also spent time with us in each room of the house, discussing updates that we may want to consider in the months before selling. We took her advice on all of these. Jessica was great about checking in on our progress, and never rushed our timeline.

When we were about a month away from being ready to sell, we met with Jessica again. She gave us a timeline of all the things that needed to happen, including yard work and scheduling a stager. She helped provide recommendations for both, which we found to be fantastic.

Finally, in the week before listing, we met with Jessica again to discuss how much to list the house at. Her suggestion was maybe 5-10K under what we'd thought, but ultimately went with her suggestion. She also had a professional photographer shoot the listing photos, and they were amazing -- combined with the staging, the photos made all of our favorite features about the house stand out!

We had expected our house to generate interest, but we were floored by how much traffic and attention was generated, thanks to Jessica's hard work. We allowed our house to be on the market for 6 days, and there were 100+ agents through the house in the first 2 days, 2000+ views on Redfin, with 400+ people 'favoriting' our house, 21 offers, and sold for > $100k over the list price.

While the house was on the market, Jessica updated us daily by email/text to let us know how things were going. When we met with her to review offers, she had printed / color coded spreadsheets for us printed out with key features highlighted. We can't stress enough that Jessica is extremely knowledgeable, organized, honest, professional, and will help you get the best price for your house!

We bought our first house with Jessica in 2010 and had a very positive experience. Over the past year, we started to think about buying something slightly bigger to meet the needs of our growing family. Given how crazy the market in Seattle has been the last couple of years, we were really dreading how stressful the whole process would be - multiple offers, waived contingencies, escalators, etc. Even worse, we were also extremely picky about the location and general layout of the house, and told Jessica as much when we met with her last fall. We weren't really planning to look at houses around Christmas, but one went on the market that met our many criteria, and we decided to go look at it with Jessica. We liked the house, and decided to put an offer in the same day. Our offer (which was below asking price) was accepted very quickly, meaning we bought the first house we looked at! Because of Jessica’s hard work, we didn’t have to give up anything during negotiations- no haggling over price, and the sellers made all the repairs we asked (including closing cost credits). More importantly, during both of our home purchases Jessica has been a great source of knowledge and advice about home buying, ownership, maintenance, and remodeling, so we felt very confident about our decisions throughout the process. She is super responsive on email/phone (even over the holidays), and very proactive about making sure we were on track to close and letting us know what to expect at every step along the way. Moreover, she does all of this while being very laid back and has never made us feel pressured. We are about to list our first house for sale through Jessica and she has provided great advice and guidance for getting that property market-ready as well. The fact that we've worked with Jessica through two home purchases and one sale speaks for itself, but to be very explicit, we can't recommend her highly enough!

My husband and I had such a positive experience working with Jessica on the purchase of our home that when it came time to sell, we did not hesitate to request her expertise again. She provided us with an updated picture of the local housing market, gave us no-pressure advice on what updates would maximize profits, and suggested a listing approach that ultimately resulted in multiple offers and a sale price that was well over asking. That said, the journey from contract to closing was not without its obstacles, but Jessica helped us address every issue while also keeping us on schedule for closing. Her quick responses to our concerns along with her ability to be thorough demonstrate a natural talent and commitment to success. Jessica’s reputation is well deserved and her work ethic makes her a smart choice for anyone considering buying or selling a home in the Seattle metro area.

Jessica was amazing. This was my first time buying a home and she made the process so easy and friendly. Jessica is incredibly patient and really lets you explore each house and feel it out even if you are seeing 10 in a day! I really appreciated her subtle approach to advice. It made me feel supported and educated in my decision but it still felt like my decision and not hers. When we decided to put an offer on a house she acted quickly and helped us put in the best offer that day. She had a good sense of what our initial offer should be and what the escalation clause should be. We got the first house we put an offer on which can be a rare thing these days in Seattle. I would fully recommend Jessica to anyone purchasing or selling a home

This was our first experience buying a house. Add to the "first-timer" challenges the fact that I was traveling and out of town for work a good portion of the time, and you have what should have been a stressful situation, at best. Jessica is so on her game that she made this enjoyable. She took the time at the beginning to know us and what makes us tick as people, not to mention what we needed in a home. Therefore, she showed us properties that suited us, she gave candid advice about when to walk away, and she was always two steps ahead of my next question when it came time to actually making the purchase. I truly felt like we had an advocate who cared first and foremost about us. She is above all else a person of solid character who shows up every day to do her job well. I can't say enough good things.

Jessica took me to view many condominium units in the Seattle area, magically finding nearby parking in all cases. She provided advice on many aspects of buying properties such as coops vs. condos, features that increase the resale value, and mortgage providers.

Once I decided on a property, she was successful in negotiating a lower price for the property. She was also very active in reading all the various escrow documents, and she took action that was needed to correct mistakes. She also reassured me when everything seemed normal. She was able to recommend a home inspector, and she was present for the home inspection. She was also able to recommend a "handyman" who could manage the simple repairs needed for the unit. She also acquired the keys on my behalf, and met me on closing day to hand over the keys and present me with a little housewarming present.

It all went smoothly, and Jessica was able to make everything very clear for me. Jessica is very knowledgeable, professional, and personable. It was a pleasure working with her, and I would definitely recommend her as an agent for anyone looking to buy or sell. When the day comes for me to sell my place, I will certainly contact Jessica to help me with that process. All in all, the experience of working with Jessica was excellent, and I am left amazed at how easy it was to become a home owner!

Wonderful and well thought-out advice and support all along both buying our new place and the sale of our old place. She is one of the best in Seattle

Jessica made buying my condo seem so easy! She had answers to all my questions before I thought to ask them, and walked me through every step of offers, reviewing HOA documents, inspection and closing processes. She was always readily available and thoughtful with her advice. I would recommend her without reservation.

I was lucky enough to find Jessica online while out of state. I went with her recommendations for listing price, and she was spot-on for the market assessment. She was extremely thorough in reviewing documents, catching things that previous listing agents hadn't. She has sound advice and knows the market well. Always a timely communicator and helpful with issues that arise during the selling process. Would recommend her without hesitation!

I worked with Jessica to buy my first house, and she was a very organized, detailed, and professional partner in this process. I never had to wait longer than a few hours or a day at most to hear back from her, and she was very easy to get ahold of via phone or email.

She was particularly effective in helping to develop a strategy for creating a competitive offer when another prospective buyer entered the picture. We were successful in our bid! She recommended a home inspector who did a GREAT job, and was also very helpful in facilitating the closing process by providing me with helpful guidance on what needed to happen when, what to expect, etc. She even sent me an email with all the utility company contact information (including links to online forms where available).

I would have no qualms sending my closest friends and family to her should they be in the market to buy or sell.

Jessica was an outstanding agent, and went out of her way to guide us through the process of finding and purchasing our first home. Jessica was friendly, incredibly helpful, and also candid. I can't imagine having navigated this process without her. I would happily and enthusiastically recommend Jessica to anyone who is searching for a home!

Jessica recently helped me close on my new townhouse and I was blown away with her knowledge, friendliness and organization the whole way through the process! She goes above and beyond for her clients, giving me recommendations and guidance every step of the way. She anticipated my questions and would often send me forms or information before I even had to ask. I will recommend all my friends and family to use Jessica as their real estate agent! Thank you Jessica for all you did!

Jessica did an amazing job as our buyer's agent. She's extremely knowledgeable about the market, incredibly energetic and organized, straight-forward with her advice, and very pleasant to work with.

Our situation was particularly complicated because we were trying to buy a home in Seattle while still renting in the Bay Area. Jessica not only made it possible for us to consider homes and make bids remotely, she really made the process pain-free. With her help, we were able to purchase a lovely single-family home in under two months (pretty impressive considering how competitive the market is right now). If you're looking for a fantastic buyer's agent, especially if you're planning to relocate to Seattle and would like to buy a home before you arrive, we highly recommend working with Jessica!

First and foremost, working with Jessica to find a home was the best decision we could have made as first-time home buyers. We began our search and found ourselves in a very competitive market, but through Jessica’s experience, patience, and guidance, we were able to find the perfect home within a short period of time. Jessica is extremely knowledgeable which was pivotal in our home buying experience. We had many questions throughout the process, and Jessica helped us make informed decisions regarding homes, neighborhoods, financials, and market trends. In addition, she shared our same sense of urgency while being diligent and methodical every step of the way. Even when we ran into road blocks during the closing process, Jessica knew exactly what to do, thoroughly explained the situation, and enabled us to make decisions that ultimately led to a successful outcome. We highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a reliable partner to help navigate through your next journey in real estate.

Jessica came to us highly recommended by a colleague and friend. She was honest about the overall home buying experience and tried, as best she could, to communicate what to expect in such a volatile housing market. 

Jessica always made herself available - early weekend mornings, weeknights, and evenings by phone when we were in the midst of highly competitive offers. She was quick to point out concerns when touring homes, yet was genuinely excited about homes we were interested in. 

Based on our experience, I would absolutely recommend Jessica as we were fortunate to have someone point us in her direction!

Jessica is positively outstanding. So far above and beyond anything I could've imagined, I would recommend her in a heartbeat and think anyone who gets to work with her is incredibly lucky!!! She has so much experience and such a great eye for quality and detail, she added a lot to our thinking through our buying process. For each question that came up she was informed by so much experience, and then she proactively did an amazing job of getting up-to-date additional information for us after the fact. It was fun to hang out with her during what could've been a very stressful process. She has a great, easy manner that made it fun to look at places and easier to make big decisions. I just can't say enough good things about Jessica and would recommend her for anyone who wants a truly top-notch agent.

Jessica was a pleasure to work with. Being a first-time home buyer, she really helped walk us through the whole process. She always made herself available to us when we wanted to look at houses, and we loved viewing houses with her because she always had valuable input on the neighborhood, construction, price, etc. If you are looking for a Realtor, give her a call, you will be happy you did.

Jessica was glowingly recommended to me by a trusted coworker and I only hope I can convey how wonderful she was to work with. She is organized, very detail-oriented, and highly knowledgeable about the market and Seattle area neighborhoods. If you are a long-time resident or new to the area, she would be great to work with. 

From the first meeting we had with her, Jessica was focused on learning about us - beyond just what kinds of homes features we liked - to understand how we would use our space. She would remember and point out things (wanting to bring up specific furniture made by a grandfather or the commute distance) that we would forget in the excitement of looking at a house. When we "loved" a house, she helped us make sure we truly did. When we felt uncertain, she helped us narrow in on the reasons why and helped us focus on the neighborhoods and house types we needed to look at.

Jessica was easy to reach by email, phone, or text. Even though we ended up looking in a neighborhood that was outside her normal radius, her schedule was flexible enough to view houses on weekends and during the week.

Jessica was fantastic throughout our Seattle home-buying experience. Her knowledge of the Seattle neighborhoods, of the current market, and of the purchasing process were all extremely valuable to us when trying to shop our neighborhood as well as our house, prepare for pre-offer inspections and multiple-offer escalations, and then allaying our jitters during the closing process. We credit her with getting the first home on which we put an offer and thank her for viewing so many with us before we did!

We would highly recommend Jessica to newcomers to Seattle and first-time home buyers, especially in this highly competitive market.

Jessica is dedicated to the job, knows what she is doing, and is always a step ahead of the game. I have scarcely met anyone more organized and attentive to the details - her schedule is super busy and yet she always found the time to be helpful, keep us on track, and go the extra mile - I don't know how she does it. We have just purchased what we intend to be our permanent home, so hopefully we won't need her services again, but if we do, we're calling her first.

I had the most positive experience working with Jessica. She is well-organized and professional. All of my emails and phone calls were answered in a timely manner. She provided comprehensive timelines about where we were at in the selling process. She worked tirelessly as a liason between prospective buyers, lenders and my homeowners association. I couldn't have asked for a better agent.

Jessica is a fantastic agent. She is very knowledgeable of the neighborhoods, understands the market dynamics, is very detail oriented and great at process management (there seems to be quite a lot of process in buying a house!) But above all she is a pleasure to talk to and work with. She is a rare and great mix of a people person and a smart real estate expert that puts her clients first.

I met Jessica at an open house. After reading her reviews, I decided to contact her to assist me in buying my first home. My criteria were very specific. Jessica would always respond promptly whenever I had any questions. After almost a year of waiting, a house in my preferred location was listed. I went to see the house the next day and made an offer that day. Jessica quickly submitted my offer that evening and my offer was accepted the following day. Exactly 357 days from the day I met Jessica, I received the keys to my dream home. Jessica, thank you for all of your help and patience! I highly recommend Jessica to anyone who is looking to buy a home.

Other agents gave up on us. Jessica never did. She's kind, patient, resilient, honest, and caring. And she pays attention to details and your needs. 

Jessica stood by us for about 2 years and finally, we found our dream home that fit us perfectly. It was not a big unit but it was a nice one. 

We definitely will ask for her assistance again in the future without hesitation. Highly recommended to family members and friends. We have never before encountered such a level of professionalism & excellence. It was pleasure working with Jessica.

Jessica was a huge asset during my home search and buying experience. As a first time buyer looking to purchase in an area that was the target of many other buyers, it took me a while to find the right place. Jessica was always patient and gave great input into both the market and the buying process. I appreciated how Jessica always presented options to me without bias so that the decision making was truly mine without pressure. When this property came along, Jessica was, as always, available during my schedule to see the property. During preparation of the offer, it became obvious that other offers were likely to be submitted. Jessica's attention and expertise during that part of the process was what I believe to be what ultimately got me the property. I couldn't have done it without her!

Jessica knows very much about the Seattle real estate market. She has tailored a marketing strategy to sell your home way above you expected. Jessica is very quick on responding and she is very supportive in every way. 

Jessica is very professional, has a very good attitude and is very pleasant to talk to. She also made sure that we got the best professional services (i.e. photos and home brochures). She prepares worksheets summarizing offers, which is a great help when you are dealing with 10 offers.

We highly recommend Jessica on selling your home. We will also consider Jessica if we are to buy a home in Seattle.

Jessica was an absolute dream to work with on the sale of our home. We had bought a new home using a bridge loan, meaning we were counting on the sale of the house to pay it back, and so we really, really needed our house to sell for a good price, and quick. Jessica made sure of it! She walked us through every step of the process with a smile and an incredible eye for detail. From her staging suggestions (the house literally never looked better!) to the marketing materials she made (we saved the flyer it was so pretty) to her pricing strategy that brought multiple bids far over asking price. We ended up selling in 5 days and getting nearly $50k above our asking price. There is no one better to work with on buying or selling a home!

I contacted Jessica [for her assistance] and followed her advice to have the condo staged. The resulting sales brochure was very professional and led to great showings and a quick closing at a price that I felt more than offset the cost of staging. In addition, I thought her advice for vetting offers and handling counter offers was sound. I was fortunate to have Jessica handle my sale.

Jessica is extraordinary. She demystified the home buying experience and made us feel confident and clear and taken care of. She was so fun, organized, thoughtful, and warm throughout the search process, and when we found our place, she led us through making and winning our offer with an incredible attention to detail and such tenacity that we felt absolutely confident we were getting the best, most fair, and most well-handled deal we possibly could. It's a rare thing to meet someone who brings so much integrity and purpose to their line of work, and she made what could have been a really hard time in our lives infinitely easier and smoother and more fun. We literally cannot recommend Jessica highly enough.

Previously, Jessica helped me purchase a house that I am renting out and that will soon become my home. This summer, when I was ready to sell the house that’s been my home for the past twenty years, I turned to Jessica once again for help.

Because the house I was selling was unconventional, I knew that even in our current “hot” real estate market, the sale of the house would present some special challenges. Jessica helped me identify how to best prepare the house for sale. Because there were so few comparable houses on the market, setting the offering price was a challenge. Jessica set an offering price that exceeded my expectations and was attractive to buyers.

Jessica recommended a great staging company, hired a wonderful photographer who captured the essence of the interior of the house, hired a second photographer who took beautiful exterior images of the house lit up at night, printed gorgeous brochures and had a floor plan drawn up to help potential buyers quickly understand the layout of the house.

I accepted an offer within days of the listing and days before closing the sale fell through when the buyer lost his job. Jessica was a steadying presence through this disappointing time. She promptly formulated a plan that quickly led to another, even better offer. The sale closed last week.

In addition to being the consummate professional, Jessica is a delightful and caring person. I always had confidence that serving me was more important to Jessica than simply earning her commission. I recommend Jessica highly and without reservation.

Jessica answered our many questions about the properties we viewed quickly and made the whole hectic process of buying a house less scary and less mysterious. She was available at short notice to show us new properties as soon as they appeared and brought some interesting choices to our attention that we otherwise might have missed.

We have worked with Jessica 3 times, for 2 sales and one purchase. She continues to be fabulous. For this sale, our goal was to sell it within the time frame of our 2-week vacation and we did even better than that. We strategized about how to optimize the sale, and Jessica's marketing was superb. She is a real professional. I highly recommend her to anyone.

Jessica is the consummate real estate professional. We never felt pressured or judged by her as we frequently changed our criteria in the face of a difficult market. She helped us learn what to look for and be concerned about when we toured a property, and she always provided insightful and very helpful guidance on issues that we might not have thought about. She was patient and always encouraging in our long 10-month search, and she never, ever seemed to get frustrated with us (and there were lots of reasons why she could have been frustrated!). She is also a delight to work with. In short, Jessica is the best real estate agent we have worked with in our 9 real estate transactions over the years. She gets our highest recommendation.

Jessica was an exceptional Realtor to work with. She was prompt, available, well-informed and quickly understood our family and our needs. Her expertise really helped us through the search and closing process. I would (and have!) recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home!

Jessica expertly handled the sale of my house, which is even more remarkable for the fact that I never even met her in person. I had already moved 3,000 miles away and we conducted the entire sale long distance. 

Look, I’m not easily impressed. I hold a generally dim view of people, let alone people who work on commission. I’m that guy that’ll be the first to complain to the manager, to send an under-cooked steak back to the kitchen, or to haggle over the price of a rusty breadbasket at the Goodwill. In other words, I’m a demanding consumer. And so when I say that Jessica Livingston lived up to and exceeded every one of my expectations, I’m really saying something here. 

Up until a week before the house was to go on the market, I was actually working with another Realtor, who was a neighbor and a friend of almost 10 years. I began to have some reservations as we neared the listing day, and so it was a mad scramble to find another Realtor. I did my research. I’m an Angie’s List member, so I started there. Jessica was at the top of the heap. She had over 20 glowing reviews. I came to Redfin, over 80 glowing reviews. They couldn’t ALL be faked, I thought. I called her at about 8PM. She answered and we spoke for over 30 minutes. She was at that late hour what she was throughout the entire process—impeccably professional, unerringly nice, and thoroughly knowledgeable and confident. 

Having Jessica as your Realtor is one of those rare instances in life where the stakes are very high but the choice is very simple.

Jessica was flawless. She helped us buy our first home in an incredibly competitive market and was instrumental in us getting the right house for the right price. At the end of the day, this is what you want out of an agent, but Jessica was so much more. From the very first time we communicated with her, she was exceedingly prompt in her responses and always seemed to put us first – she was never unavailable. Her knowledge and intuition related to all things real estate and current market conditions was uncanny: she several times predicted what houses eventually sold for with remarkable accuracy. She uses this knowledge and intuition to provide realistic and valuable guidance without ever making you feel pressured in any way. Jessica has built a network of top notch people (inspectors, etc.) that she is able to call on seemingly at a moment’s notice, which is crucial for being able to move quickly in a competitive market. On top of all of these important skills, Jessica is also the consummate professional and also just a really nice and friendly person. We always looked forward to getting to see her again. It was wonderful to go through the sometimes challenging and emotional process of buying a home with Jessica as a friend, guide, and advocate. We cannot recommend her highly enough, and will without question call on her again if we are ever back in the market. Thank you Jessica!!

Jessica is an agent you can completely trust through the whole buying or selling process. She is very flexible and accommodating and there is no situation that she is unable to work out some solution for. She is very patient and easygoing. If you're a first time buyer, she is unbeatable, and even if you're not, she's awesome.

Jessica was excellent in every respect - very knowledgeable, professional, helpful, and easy to work with. I would recommend her without qualification and I'm very glad to have had her representing me.

As first time home buyers, we had lots of questions about the whole process and Jessica was very helpful in answering all our questions at every step of the way. She guided us on how to make a really competitive offer, which is incredibly important in such a crazy real estate market. She was also able to accommodate our busy schedules to see houses in the evenings, early mornings and weekends. We never felt pressured into anything and were very thankful to have her on our side. I would highly recommend Jessica.

Jessica is amazing to work with. She really listens to what you want and can flow with your changing needs as home buyers. Jessica is so knowledgeable about all aspects of the sale process as well as inspections and homes in general. She brings up really good points and shares information freely. We LOVED working with her and never felt pressured or swayed one way or another. I know that we got the house we did because she put together a strong offer and worked within our comfort zones. I will use her again to sell and buy our next house.

Jessica exceeded all of our expectations. Her calm and patient approach helped us to feel confident throughout our buying process. Jessica is incredibly knowledgeable about real estate, home improvement projects, market trends, and financing. She was able to offer us guidance during all aspects of the process and she truly supported us to be self-directed in our decision making, while offering us practical, reliable advice. I couldn't possibly recommend Jessica enough! If we buy or sell again in the future, we wouldn't dream of doing so without Jessica.

Jessica is by far the hardest working, most enthusiastic, and professional agent I have ever worked with. She is honest, intelligent, detail-oriented, and 100% on your side. There were times when I felt like her only client. She exceeded my expectations at every phase of our relationship. I had debated whether to use an agent at all because of the large commission, but she earned every penny. You won't be disappointed!

Jessica is a very professional. She deals with all situations with a flexible mindset. She came up with wonderful and creative ways to work around my home situation. It made me very comfortable. She made sure to keep me updated on the process and followed through with concerns I had.

Jessica was absolutely amazing as our buyer's agent. She helped us narrow down our search criteria to only those houses that truly fit our needs and wants. Jessica was extraordinary with prompt responses and flexible communication with texts, email and calls. With a very young child at home and as first time home buyers, this was extremely appreciated. She clearly laid out the entire process, and even created a personal calendar and checklist for us to ensure we knew the timeline of the buying process before we went through it. We put an offer in 2 weeks before Christmas and Jessica kept us organized and the process flowing and even with family obligations, vacations, etc., we closed within a month of the offer date!

She is extremely knowledgeable about remodels, inspections and pitfalls buyers may overlook in the excitement of a home purchase. I can't recommend Jessica enough, and would gladly point friends her way for any home buying or selling.

Jessica was SO wonderful to work with. She took the time to listen to our needs and was incredibly patient with us. She was very available and flexible. She answered all our questions (and as first time home buyers, we had a lot!), helped sort our any "problems," and has had great recommendations for lenders and any contract work we've needed to do.

Jessica was a pleasure to work with. She did a great job marketing my townhouse which sold in 2 days. She was engaged throughout the process and answered all my questions. I would definitely recommend her!

Jessica was wonderful to work with. My husband and I are very picky and we had been looking for a house for several years (in several cities). She was very patient with us and showed us every house that we wanted to look at. She found us a house that we love! After the offer was accepted, Jessica was very organized. This was our first time going through the home buying process and she helped us at each stage. She was present at all of our appointments and made sure that everything was done right.

Jessica was incredible! At every step of the process she took the time to provide us with insights from her years of experience. She did a remarkable job of ensuring that our house was staged well and looked great in photos. She felt like a partner in this journey and really looked out for our best interests. She never rushed the sale, and instead made sure we were moving forward under the right conditions. In the end we sold our house for above asking price with a smooth closing. We would highly recommend Jessica to anybody looking to buy or sell a property.

Jessica was knowledgeable about the market and about remodeling, which helped us because we were looking at fixers at the low end of the market price range. She gave us excellent advice about what to offer and also on negotiations with the seller. Jessica was available for appointments to see houses and was always on time. The two previous agents that we worked with had made many errors in the offers we put in, from getting our names wrong to incorrectly stating the terms of the offer, but Jessica wrote accurate offers every time. She was patient and encouraging in a difficult market and kept her sense of humor throughout the process. She was great and we recommend her highly.

If you are looking for an agent Jessica is the ONE! Her professionalism, expertise, and dedication are beyond compare. Whenever we see a house she is the first to point out all the flaws rather then waiting for us to point them out. We worked with Jessica at the height of the buying market and houses gets sold within days, so it was very essential to see the house ASAP, but because of our schedule, sometimes it was hard to be flexible. Jessica always made it work for us -  didn't matter if we called her the night before and how busy she was, she always made herself available for us. We are really appreciative of that. I would HIGHLY recommended Jessica to anyone I know or don't know because I know their buying/selling experience would be so much less stressful with Jessica helping them.

Highly recommend Jessica to anyone seeking an agent that keeps track of everything down to the smallest item and provides sound advice during purchase negotiations. She kept meticulous notes on house viewings and made our cross-country move much easier once we selected our new home, created a calendar of key dates and reminders, provided all utility sign up info, reviewed the subdivision restrictions and HOA minutes, and kept us well informed of each step up to our closing.

Our house sold in 4 days with multiple offers!! We couldn't have picked a better agent. She thinks of every detail! Was such a great experience to work with her again.

Jessica was an absolute blessing. Her knowledge of the market combined with her personal experience in home renovation was critical to our successful house hunt. We were able to ask her advice on which repairs were major or minor and her knowledge allowed us to find a home that passed inspection with flying colors. She listened to our desires and helped us find a home that had all of our 'musts' in a very competitive market. She advocated for us and provided referrals to other providers like inspectors whose services we were thrilled with. I have recommended Jessica to our friends and family because in the current market, having someone so informed and organized made getting our dream home possible. In a tough market she also made the process of finding a first home enjoyable and fun and we are so thankful that she was our agent!

No words can adequately describe what a wonderful experience it was to work with Jessica. My husband and I were both selling and buying a home. She shepherded us through the entire process and made a daunting situation not intimidating in the least. The sale ended up being a bit unconventional and Jessica handled it with grace. The home buying process was lengthy due to specific requirements we had for the new house. So we looked at a lot of homes over a significant period of time. Jessica always made herself available to us and was incredibly patient throughout the process. She gave us her honest opinion of the houses we saw; we never felt pushed to move forward with a house. Jessica truly wanted to help us find the perfect home. And she did! We just moved in and could not be happier. Jessica has been our angel and there is no one else we’d rather work with in the future. We simply cannot recommend her highly enough.

So easy to work with. I don't know how she does it - I felt like we were her full time job! [Jessica was] the most organized, knowledgeable, and helpful agent I've ever worked with. We love her and will use her every chance we get!

We worked with Jessica to buy a home in West Seattle. Jessica was incredibly organized and full of information about the buying process. She was always available and a great advocate for us. She was able to negotiate a great deal and help us close on our house smoothly. We couldn't be happier with Jessica and are happy to recommend her to anyone!

Choosing a real estate agent is an important decision that we took seriously. Of the high quality agents we interviewed, Jessica stood out for her responsiveness, thorough and patient communication style, high degree of organization, and market knowledge, making her a perfect fit for our house-buying needs. 

Agent communication is key, and Jessica definitely gets an A+. Her responsiveness (including late night calls/emails) throughout was very much appreciated. When buying our house, she was readily available to show new listings as soon as they hit the market. She was an excellent listener, carefully noting our must-haves and selecting listings that best matched our needs. Throughout, she patiently walked us through every step, educating and informing us along the way, but never pressuring us to make a decision. Jessica’s market knowledge and professionalism were also incredibly valuable.

Jessica was also highly organized, providing summary sheets of houses we toured, sending us timelines, and generally keeping on top of the ever-shifting home buying to-do list. We always felt she was on top of things and had our back (for example, catching a $50 under-credit from an escrow company). She was always available to attend meetings, appointments, etc. on our behalf.

All in all, working with Jessica was simply a top notch experience all around. Highly recommended.

Jessica was an absolutely wonderful help to us in our recent house purchase. She was very knowledgeable not only about the area of Seattle where we were house-hunting, but about what it took to make a competitive bid in the ridiculous market that exists now. She was never pushy while helping us figure out what we liked and didn't like in available houses, and went above and beyond providing us any info we wanted/needed as fast as possible. We got the house we wanted at a very competitive price, and the closing was seamless with Jessica helping us out all the way with the few snafu's that popped up.

We would work with her again in a heartbeat. She's great. Her experience and professionalism make her an excellent choice for an agent.

Jessica was a pleasure to work with and I am happy to have had her as my agent during the shifting market. Jessica is very proactive and was able to anticipate what properties I would be interested in. After the offer was submitted, she ensured all documentation was accurately completed and worked with me to ensure the closing stayed on track. I will be choosing Jessica the next time I am looking for a property.

Jessica was amazing and I would absolutely work with her again. She was very patient with me and my husband, who were first time homebuyers who had lots and lots of questions to try and understand what we were getting into. Jessica knows her stuff and she answered all of our questions knowledgeably and never made us feel stupid or intimidated by all we had to learn. And we learned a TON, mostly from her. After seeing 20+ places with Jessica over 3-4 weeks, we found a home we really liked. Even though it was a very competitive situation (9 offers), Jessica remained very calm with us and was able to advise us on how to smartly write a competitive offer (without being naïve and offering too much) and our offer was accepted. She coordinated with our lender to make sure we could close within 3 weeks. I really got the sense working from Jessica that she likes her job, and enjoys working with clients -- she always had our best interests at heart. But the best thing about Jessica is that she is downright pleasant to be around and has a good sense of humor. I'd recommend her highly to anyone, especially first time buyers!

Jessica went the first mile, then the extra mile. Then the whole course and more. She's as nice as she could be, but her skill goes way beyond that. She understood immediately what we wanted and what we didn't want, and kept in touch, didn't bother us with the wrong possibilities, showed us around with great patience. When we found something right, she really went to town, did everything just right, and answered endless questions from us. I'm a historian, so I needed to understand every document, and Jessica (who has a degree in accounting) was able to explain everything with tremendous clarity. Because I was not in Seattle, she really carried the burden of the work, and did a lot of extras, like measuring and checking. She also fought hard for us to get the unit we wanted, and however she did it, the seller accepted our bid, even though it was not the highest one, thanks to Jessica. I now consider her a trusted friend in Seattle.

Jessica was a dream Realtor! She took the time to understand what we wanted, worked with our busy schedules to view houses, and then when it came time to put in an offer and throughout the entire purchasing process, she educated and "held our hand" through it! We felt that she always had our best interest at heart and that she kept us in the loop through the whole process. We HIGHLY recommend having Jessica as a Realtor!

Jessica was nothing short of amazing to work with throughout our home buying process! We found Jessica in a unique way. We were renting a house that was put on the market in June and had hundreds of buying agents coming through our place for various viewings, etc. over the course of the house being on the market. So through that process, we were able to “interview” a number of agents but Jessica definitely stood out to us for a number of reasons which is why we called her when we were ready to start looking. She is not only great at her job but also so friendly and easy to get along with. Jessica listens to everything you tell her about your requirements and doesn't try to push any one house on you. I would say we saw at least 50 houses over the course of our search, and Jessica remained super patient with us and never once tried to talk us into a house…she truly just wants to find the house that is perfect for you. Jessica just sits back and listens/takes notes as you go through each property so she can use your comments to alter her future searches more appropriately. 

After our endless search, we decided to put an offer in on a Short Sale home which are more difficult sales in nature, due to the bank’s heavy involvement. But Jessica was stellar by helping negotiate a lower asking price while still ensuring we were competitive with our offer. She was also able to negotiate that the bank give us a credit to fix the deck in the backyard due to it being unsafe. In addition, she convinced the sewer scope company to keep trying when they said they couldn't get past some roots in the line when they were just about ready to give up for the second time. We were especially appreciative of this, as our decision to buy the place depended on this one inspection. Never once did we doubt Jessica’s ability to fight for what was in our best interest. We trusted her so much, in fact, that we didn't even attend the second sewer scope because we fully knew she had it handled. 

We are also first time home buyers and feel so incredibly fortunate that we found Jessica. First time buyers seem to be her specialty and Jessica is great about explaining each part of the process in a manner that is easy to understand and she answers absolutely any questions you have candidly and honestly. We didn't have any surprises along the way because Jessica has kept us up-to-speed throughout the entire buying process. We have already recommended her to a number of our friends that are starting the home buying process…we really have nothing but great things to say about her.

My wife and I were first-time buyers with business backgrounds--we understand the basic concepts but recognized we needed an expert to guide us through this process. Jessica was very friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible. After each property we saw, Jessica gave us honest feedback on every element we had questions about, including the price, location, suitability for our needs, and many elements we hadn't considered.

When we finally settled on a property, Jessica earned the heck out of her commission by helping us navigate a very stressful, problem-ridden financing situation by providing support and information, responding quickly (even while on vacation!), and taking over areas where we were struggling. I felt that she represented us and our desires well throughout the process. We got nearly everything we wanted out of negotiations due largely to Jessica. She helped us understand the potential risks and benefits of every ask, every step, and every decision.

My prior experience with agents has shown me what a rarity it is to find someone with Jessica's balance of courtesy, flexibility, intelligence, experience, and assertiveness. She was a great fit for us and I'm not exaggerating when I say that we would not have gotten our great first home without her help.

* Zero pressure
* Significant knowledge and expertise
* Strong communication

As a first time home buyer, I was a bit nervous and didn't know what to expect. Jessica made the entire process so easy and fun as well! Her expert knowledge and passion about her work really show when working with you. I would highly recommend her to my friends and family who are looking to buy in the area.

Jessica delivered ultimate service in the sale of my home. She was fully engaged in meeting my personal needs as well as every aspect of the required business process. She is smart and thorough, demonstrating ongoing courteous individualized service in every step of the process.

Jessica was not only knowledgeable and dependable, she constantly exceeded my expectations. She is an amazing person, and a wonderful agent! I would recommend Jessica to anyone.

When I decided to buy a house this fall, I needed to find an agent. I searched the Internet using the search term “Seattle’s best real estate agent.” After looking through the search results, I had the name of two agents I thought might be a good fit for me. Although I initially planned to contact both agents, I contacted Jessica first and never made that second call. 

Jessica is knowledgeable, hard-working, thorough, honest, responsive, and unfailingly helpful. Although I had spent quite a bit of time thinking through my housing wants and needs before I contacted her, my thinking changed as I began to look at properties. Jessica navigated those changes with me without complaint and, through her questions, helped me be sure that the house I decided to buy was truly the right one for me. 

In addition to being the consummate professional, Jessica is a delightful, cheerful person who sincerely cares about her clients.

Jessica has my highest recommendation.

Jessica is incredible to work with. She has a calm, yet friendly personality that puts you at ease. We were impressed by how responsive she is with our requests and questions. She is definitely on-top of keeping track of our deadlines and possible postponements. When viewing homes, Jessica helped point out considerations we weren't necessarily aware of which helped informed our decision. We appreciated that she made us feel as though we were her only clients in all our interaction with us.

From beginning to end, Jessica was the consummate professional and thus deserves a glowing review. We were new to the area yet needed to settle into a home relatively quick. We gave Jessica our must-haves and price point along with a few properties we found appealing through online searches. Given her extensive knowledge of the Seattle metro area she also did some looking and promptly showed us a number of homes meeting our criteria - all in a single day. It was a lot of running around, but she knew we were eager to find a place. It had been awhile since we had purchased a home, so she explained every step of the purchasing process in detail. She provided advice that was always in our best interest, some of which we chose not to heed and paid dearly for later when we had to ask for an extension on our closing date. Despite the poor decision on our part, Jessica went out of her way to try to get us back on track and closing on time. There is no question we will work with her again and would refer her to others.

Jessica is a wonderful agent! She showed up so consistently over the 3 months we were looking and made us feel like we were her only client. I appreciated her input about the houses. She seemed to have a better idea of what we were looking for than I did some of the time!

There were many times that we had a last-minute viewing and she was available and when we found the right place she put everything in motion right away. Highly recommend!

Jessica is very trustworthy and demonstrated integrity in all interactions we had with her. She is thorough, thoughtful, experienced, and very reliable. My husband and I were overseas for the sale of our home and she made us comfortable with the process, ensured all the details were arranged in advance and was always very responsive to our questions. We would absolutely work with her again in the future when we buy or sell.

She was amazing. We had a lot going on and she was able to coordinate everything from multiple inspections to specialist opinions. She really went above & beyond.

Jessica is a top-notch agent. As a first-time home buyer, Jessica was looking out for me the whole time. She was very kind and patient as I tried to figure out exactly what I wanted. She stayed on top of things throughout the entire closing process and made sure I understood every step. I highly recommend her!

Jessica came recommended by a friend and we are so pleased we decided to work with her. Jessica was so wonderful throughout the whole process! We are first time home buyers and she made sure we were comfortable and provided us endless amounts of knowledge. We loved that she gave honest opinions about places we looked at, especially when she didn't think they would be a good fit. Plus she was flexible with our busy schedules to go look at potential homes. We would recommend Jessica again and again to anybody looking to buy a home!

While living in Europe we asked Jessica if she could sell our house in Seattle. We thought there would be a lot of hurdles to overcome because of the challenges of not being in the same area as the house. I couldn't have been more wrong. Jessica really took ownership and hired contractors, stagers and photographers. She also maintained the schedule and payments, as well as planting plants herself to add to the curb appeal. With everything that came up, she still managed to list the house on schedule, and sold it for a great price. I honestly felt like it was too easy, Jessica knew what needed to be done and got it done, while I just received email updates and pictures. She even set up a remote signing for me. I cannot think of one thing I wish she would have done different. It was a flawless sale!

Jessica was excellent throughout the whole process. She was proactive in finding new listings that might work for me. She did a superb job in the negotiations of the house I purchased. She also kept on top of the closing process. She is truly a thorough and excellent professional. I will recommend her to everyone.

We would definitely recommend Jessica's services. She is a great real estate agent who understands her client's needs very well. As first time home buyers we had a lot of questions about the home purchasing process. She is very patient and although the entire process took us 9 months, she was just as involved with us in the process in the last month as when we started. She is very flexible as well and was able to adapt to our timing requirements. She is knowledgeable about the real estate process and took care of us even in situations where we didn't know better. She also accompanied us at home design appointments, helped review mortgage documents and was always willing to help in any way possible. Her attention to detail and methodical approach was extremely helpful as well. At times we wanted to go back and look at homes we had looked earlier. She kept a record of notes of every home we looked at, which helped us remember what we liked or disliked about particular homes.

Jessica just helped up with a house purchase in North Seattle and she was very enjoyable to work with! She is friendly and easy-going, yet professional. There was no pressure from her at any point, but a lot of professional advice and answers to all the questions we had. As first-time buyers, we had no idea how to look for houses and what to be aware of. She talked us through the process before we started the search, and then helped on every step of it. She organized and scheduled all the inspections on the house we picked, including the oil tank and sewer to avoid unpleasant surprises in the future. Jessica also proof-read all our documentation before signing and actually found a mistake that underwriters made that saved us quite a bit of money after correcting. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants their house buying experience to be as great as ours was.

Jessica was my rock during a slow and painful 5-month short sale process. Looking back, I know I couldn't have gone through it with anyone I didn't trust was doing everything they could to make it happen. She gave me a realistic outlook of what the process was going to entail, and she did everything in her power to do what she could to close the deal despite a train wreck that included an incompetent seller's agent, Bank of America changing to a new system and losing track of my case, and more. She kept me informed, providing me with critical information that allowed me to close in time to avoid tax penalties. Would I recommend Jessica to a friend? Without a doubt, yes! I have so much respect for her professionalism and really think that it was her regular check-ins and stick-to-itiveness that helped me make it through. And her friendship. She is one of the kindest people I have met in this city and I'm honored to share my good opinion of her now that I have the chance.

Thank you, Jessica, for helping me realize my dream of becoming a homeowner!

Jessica is truly one in a million! I cannot imagine going through first-time home-buying process with any other agent. In addition to being extremely attentive, responsive and detail-oriented, she also is very personable and trustworthy. Our entire home-buying process lasted nearly a year and a half. Given the busy housing market, we made offers on nearly 10 homes before we finally got accepted for the house of our dreams. Even through all the frustration and disappointment, Jessica kept us on track in our search and our patience ultimately paid off. 

Jessica extremely knowledgeable and professional. We felt very comfortable trusting her with such a big event in our lives. She truly puts her customers first and we are so grateful for her expertise and guidance throughout the process.

I cannot recommend Jessica enough! She was an absolute joy to work with and I look forward to working with her again in the future.

Jessica clearly loves what she does, and does it because she cares about helping people find the best home for them. I never felt pressured; she is quick to point out the cons along with the pros of each house. She is very well-organized, patient with first-time buyers, and wants to be sure you understand every step of the process.

As a first time buyer, I cannot recommend Jessica enough. From the beginning she was knowledgeable, helpful, courteous, polite, forthright, among many other qualities. She made the process extremely smooth and easy. I repeatedly asked the world of her, and she delivered, with a smile on her face and genuine professionalism.

Jessica Livingston is truly an exceptional real estate agent. She's incredibly knowledgeable, highly organized, very friendly, solid and dependable. As a first time home buyer this experience was truly daunting to begin, but the first time I met Jessica I relaxed knowing I was clearly in good hands. To sum it up, she's a pro, has tireless patience, seems to truly love her profession, and clearly went above and beyond.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience working with Jessica. We were first time home buyers and Jessica walked us through the process and answered our questions. She is extremely knowledgeable about electrical systems, house wiring, etc. She was not afraid to poke around in crawl spaces or look for water damage. I also really appreciated that she listened to our feedback and never pressured or influenced us to look at homes outside of our price range and criteria. Jessica has a passion for real estate and it truly shines through when you work with her. Her insight and knowledge of Seattle neighborhoods really helped us find the right place. The closing process went very smoothly with Jessica's guidance. She sent us a calendar with dates and deadlines and she was very attentive to helping us get everything in place. She is an amazing real estate agent and we would highly recommend her!

Our experience couldn't have been smoother (even in the face of road bumps coming from the seller's side)! Jessica was fantastic! We really trusted and appreciated her expertise and professionalism. We were looking for an easy fixer, her own experience with fixers contributed to some great insight, and she was so knowledgeable about every aspect of industry we could tell she was really takes the time to keep up-to-date in the field as a whole. She really listened to what we were looking for and accommodated our over-excited desire to view as many houses as we could! She was always prepared, and we really investigated every inch of the properties. She let us do the talking while we were taking in the house, answering our questions and pointing out potential issues/positives as they arose, but she really let us as a couple explore our potential in the property. She definitely had our best interest in mind and there was never any pressure to make a hasty offer. When we were ready, she really took the time to explain the details of every document we signed and kept us constantly informed and on a schedule towards closing. Before closing, Jessica had briefed us on the documents and double-checked our final documents going in, so when we got to escrow early everything went seamlessly; we were confident with everything we were signing and are documents were so in order we were out of the appointment early! When the seller's weird circumstance delayed closing, Jessica let us know immediately what was going on and was coordinating between the title coming and seller's agent about when the documents from the seller's side would be ready to close. She kept us informed every minute and made sure everything was properly documented so our position on the house was secure. We were able to close only two days after schedule and we did not have to re-sign any documents, and we were even refunded for the two-days of our prepaid interest. We loved worked with Jessica and will absolutely work with her again for our future home needs!

Jessica played a huge role in making the experience of buying my first home easy and delightful! She never pressured me into making a decision, but always offered sound advice. She was very thorough and professional. She provided valuable research on the property, reviewed all documentation, and made sure that all of my questions were answered. She was available whenever I needed her and constantly kept me up-to-date on the status of the offer. I highly recommend Jessica as your real estate agent!

We had a fantastic home purchase experience with Jessica! This was our first home and so we had a ton of questions at every stage. Jessica was extremely patient with us and made sure that all our questions were answered in depth. While looking at homes, Jessica gave us a lot of insight into several criteria that we might have missed as first-time home buyers. She was very flexible with her work hours and made sure that she was available for us whenever we needed her guidance. Jessica was very organized throughout the process maintaining a calender for the progress. This helped us undestand the process and eliminated any chance of surprises. We would strongly recommend Jessica to anyone looking to buy a home.

We found Jessica Livingston online. Since we were first-time buyers and English is not our first language, we had a lot of questions. Jessica explained everything very clearly even before we met in person. On the listings she gave us, she also listed pros and cons, such as "ground floor," "no washer/dryer," "high monthly dues." She also patiently showed us every condo we wanted to see and was willing to show us condos that we want to see again. Because we were rushing to buy a condo, she showed us about 10 condos on one afternoon. When we were out of town, she still sent us new listings. She is a very nice person and an extremely responsible agent. We love the property that we purchased. We highly recommend her.

Jessica was absolutely amazing. Our sale became very complicated due to a number of issues related to the property, the seller and our loan, and Jessica worked tirelessly for us, seeing us through to the end. At every step of the way, she gave us honest and insightful advice about how to proceed. She was incredibly thorough and detail oriented, and very knowledgeable about the nuts and blots of home renovation, as well as the nuances of financing. We truly believe we are in our home because of Jessica.

Jessica is the best. We've purchased three homes using Jessica's services. She is very detail oriented and exceedingly well informed. She's extremely knowledgeable about the entire process and if you stumble upon something that she's not certain about, she is really good about finding out and getting back to you. Also, Jessica is really good at answering questions for people wo may know a little less about the process and therefore worry more (i.e. me!). She is also really conscientious in that she thinks to ask questions of inspectors/lenders/sellers etc that we as buyers would have never thought to ask. Not only is she all of these things, she brings you coffee on inspection day :-) You really can't go wrong with Jessica!

One of the first steps in my home search was to meet with a few different agents in order to pick the right one. My goal was to visit a property with each, interview them, and hopefully develop a rapport. Jessica was an easy choice because she brought so much to the table even at that first meeting. One of the things that impressed me the most was her no-pressure approach; she was confident yet never bombarded me with information or agendas. I felt that while she had a wealth of information, her real skill was knowing when to guide me and when to let me come to my own realizations and ask questions. She was always my advocate during what was at times a difficult home buying process, and I will always appreciate that. And when she's done conquering the Seattle real estate market, she has energy left to climb mountains! Yeah!!

We had great experience working with Jessica. We lived out of state. She kept us informed through emails and phone calls. She went out of her way to help to complete the transaction without any glitch. I highly recommend her to our friends and relatives.

We started working with Jessica last year because we were looking for a second home in the Seattle area that eventually would become our primary residence. Beyond that, we hadn't solidified our search. We didn't have an area in mind, or even if we wanted a condo or a house. Jessica was able to combine her knowledge of the Seattle market with our interests and found us the perfect house. Then she successfully guided us through a competing offer, the short sale process, and the securing of a mortgage. There were the inevitable bumps in the road throughout, which she managed smoothly and made the whole process almost stress free for us. Throughout the process, she was thorough, knowledgeable, patient, and professional. We could not have had a better agent!

Jessica was patient and honest with us, and we really feel she went above and beyond in all her efforts. From working around our schedules to taking care of the sewer scope to helping with the utilities and all the lender and escrow stuff...and everything in between, she really did more than I think most realtors would have done for us. We never once felt lost or abandoned--she always made herself available, even while on vacation. We are so glad that we got to work with her and will enthusiastically recommend her to others.

Jessica worked with us closely for well over a year until we found our dream house. She took the time to get to know us and find a house that met our needs.

Jessica was a huge source of information and help when I went through the process of purchasing my shortsale. She enthusiastically answered any and all questions and was always shining through with enormous amounts of information and things important to think about. Because of her knowledge we were able to go through the whole shortsale process from initial offer to closing in less than 40 days ! Anyone with any experience with the process knows that it is very fast! I definitely recommend her to all my friends which are looking for houses and the day when I purchase my next house I will enlist for her help once again.

Jessica was invaluable to the whole process. She took the time to understand what we were looking for, to build a good search, to let us know each time something that matched our search criteria showed up on the market, to take us on tours... She explained the entire process, she walked us through the paperwork, with tons of patience and knowledge; she helped us through the offer process. We never felt rushed to make a decision, and even when we signaled that we like a house, but were weighing pros and cons, she was a partner of discussion and a sounding board, and always let us know that the decision is important and we should feel comfortable with it. She walked with us through all the houses we've seen, and pointed out potential problems, as well as great or unusual features; things that we would likely not have noticed on our own. She had many great suggestions, and we feel strongly that she was absolutely instrumental to our home purchase. We cannot emphasize enough how happy we are with her. She is so knowledgeable, hard-working, professional, and dedicated... we can't imagine a better agent.

Having worked with many Realtors before, I was immediately struck by Jessica's open and honest nature about matching me with a house well suited to my goals and needs. I recall an initial phone conversation with her, discussing specific neighborhoods of interest. Within minutes of hanging up the phone, I had detailed maps in my inbox outlining information ranging from the prime areas of Greenwood, to the neighborhoods of Ballard that lack sidewalks. This is just one example of many where Jessica's knowledge and intimacy with the Seattle real estate market really shined. I came into my house hunt with a specific set of criteria; must haves, and would-be-nices which I shared with Jessica. As she sent me new listings to check out, I'd often wonder why specific houses I saw on other websites were not included in her list. When I asked her about these listings, sure enough, I had overlooked key details of my own house hunting criteria. As a person that values efficient usage of time, this attention to detail was greatly appreciated. When it finally came down to making an offer on my new Magnolia area home, Jessica really shined. In addition to getting me a number of extras in the deal (I loooove my huge BBQ), her negotiations got me much better than the price I was hoping for! Having Jessica Livingston as my Real Estate Agent made the process of buying my house a pleasant and enjoyable one. Now, 6 months later, she still responds to my calls and emails with the same attentiveness as when I was actively searching with her. From advice on remodeling, to electrical contractor recommendations, she is always more than willing to provide her professional recommendation and opinion. I would not hesitate to recommend her to friends and family, or anyone else for that matter!

I was a first-time home buyer and Jessica did a great job of helping me through the stressful process. She was very responsive to my e-mails. I highly recommend Jessica.

Jessica was a tremendous help in the process. I was quite the picky buyer and had very high standards. Though we saw over 50 houses and/or townhouses spanning nearly a year she never exhibited impatience with me. I was looking into short sales so a friend recommended that I use Jessica as she has a broad experience in this area. Though her expertise spans to homes that don't have distressed sellers as well. We saw plenty of bank-owned short sales and "normal" sales. Furthermore this was my first time buying a home and I had endless questions that I feel most people would deem annoying and obvious. But she answered them all very patiently and knowledgeably! I would highly recommend her as an agent!

Jessica went above and beyond. She was organized, punctual, knowledgeable, trustworthy, meticulous, and appropriately involved in our decision-making. She really advocated for us when it came time to negotiate our contract.

Jessica has helped us purchase couple of properties both for investment as well as for our own living. We loved working with her. She is very thorough in checking the property and going through the paperworks. For someone who is new to buying properties, her help is huge. This saves us a lot of time and energy. We have also learnd so much throughout the process with her. She is also very patient when we are going through our options for houses. Too often a lot of reastate agent today are too pushy and comes off as not sincere. She, however, comes off as very sincere. She is really knowledgable as far as the quality of the house (structually), pricing and location information. We come to realize that is huge in choosing your first house or other investments. Her responses to our questions and updates to the status of a pending offer are really fast and up-to-date. She was also able to help us get a price that we desired. She is an excellent star to work with.

Jessica Livingston was my real estate agent for a recent condo purchase in Seattle. I would recommend her to friends, family, and clearly - strangers! Jessica is professional, thoughtful, responsive, insightful, and knowledgeable - all very important qualities to this first-time home-buyer. I was so thankful to have Jessica's guidance through the technical and detailed world of offers, inspections, and mortgage paperwork. She reviewed everything I signed, answered every question I had, and found me an amazing condo to boot! I am very appreciative that Jessica listened to my needs and responded to my reviews of the first properties we saw together. I was lucky to have Jessica as my agent and I'm certain you will be too! I highly recommend contacting Jessica if you are looking for a Real Estate agent in the greater Seattle area!! Jessica went above and beyond the call of duty in every regard.

Jessica was our Realtor for a recent house purchase in Phinney Ridge and she made the process very easy. She was extremely professional, extremely responsive, flexible in her schedule, knowledgeable and very detail oriented. She anticipated our needs and always had an answer when something came up. She met and exceeded all expectations. I would highly recommend her.

I did not know anything about buying a house (this time was my first), and I was glad that Jessica had the answer to every question I asked. My friends had horror stories of buying their first house (apparently on a flood plain), but I am a year into this one, and I am very happy. She took me to probably 25 houses, and did not show any impatience in my taking time to find one. Being that this was my first home, it was not super-expensive, and yet she worked just as hard for me as she would anybody else. At the time I closed on the house a year ago, Jessica told me I could contact her with questions about homeownership, and I have taken advantage of that offer on at least 2 occasions. I'm a fairly reserved person, and what I liked most was that she was not a high-pressure used-car salesman. I would highly recommend using her services.

I have bought 2 homes and sold one with Jessica as my agent. I will never use anyone else. She is absolutely fabulous. Answered all of my questions and has a knack for putting people at ease. I never once felt pressured to make a decision. Jessica was truly happy once we found the place we wanted to call home. Although we bought 1 year ago, she is still readily available to answer any questions that we have on home ownership. I very much valued her knowledge, patience, flexibility and professionalism. There is no one better! Work with Jessica, you will not be disappointed!

Jessica is a fantastic agent. She's great to work with, a lot of fun and very thorough and detail oriented. She worked tirelessly with us for a number of months to find us the right house. I would certainly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a property.
