About Me
I have over fifteen years of experience buying, selling and investing in real estate in Southern California and, in partnership with First Team Real Estate, have developed a full service real estate team that is second to none.
We believe that "smokin' hot deals" are not found, they are made! We know you don't need us to just send you long lists of mls data or add you to automated services that send you reports that you don't want or can't understand.
For our Clients looking for a home, we will help you find the home that really meets your needs and then, work with you to negotiate the best price & terms possible, looking out for your best interests at all times during the process, navigate you through the escrow and, help you celebrate when the home is yours!
For our Clients looking for an investment property, we will work with you to clearly identify your financial goals and discuss which type of real estate investment is best for you. We will then identify properties that have the potential to help you to meet those financial goals, then we work with you to negotiate the best price & terms possible, looking out for your best interests at all times during the process. We will navigate you through the escrow and, once we celebrate the new addition to your real estate portfolio, we will continue to support you with market data, property management services, 1031 exchange information and a wide range of other services designed specifically for the real estate investor.
Time to sell? Our marketing plans far exceed any you will find at the other brokerages. We combine print advertising with internet marketing, along with a sophisticated buyer tracking system that enables us to fully leverage our resources. Supported by our commitment to customer service and, our mission to exceed your expectations at all times, we are confident you will be more that happy you decided to hire us when it comes time to sell your home or investment property.
Don't wait for this market to change and sigh "if only" as you look in your rear view mirror. In the words of Warren Buffet "When everyone is greedy, be afraid.....when everyone is afraid....be a little greedy!!"

Testimonials
"We just sold our home and would recommend Jacqueline and her team to anyone. This is our second experience with her and we always feel that she is putting us first."

"We just completed our third transaction with Jacqueline and I can definitely say we will never work with anyone else. Her ability to negotiate a great deal and get us through even the most complicated escrow is amazing. When our property manager found out how much we paid for the triplex we just bought, she insisted on getting Jacqueline's number!"

Jacqueline Walker answered:
This is a bank-owned home that is currently on hold status while it is being cleaned up. Send me an email if you would like me to let you know when it is available to see.
Jacqueline Walker answered:
The mls is the database that real estate professionals use to advertise property for sale. There are a number of sites that feed from the mls...including http://www.realtor.com and http://www.homeseekers.com and, most real estate agents have their own sites that provide access to most of the information in the mls to homebuyers....check out mine at http://www.coastalhomeseekers.com. I also have a web-based service that I offer to my Clients that allows them to search the mls just like I do....plus they are able to set up specific searches and keep up-to-date on market activity themselves, if they prefer. You do need one person to represent you if you are planning on buying a property....find a full time, professional real estate agent who can help navigate you through the buying process and who is experienced working with distress sales (short sales and reos).
Jacqueline Walker answered:
If you plan on shopping REOs, getting a pre-approval is a must. Most of the banks will not even consider your offer without one. Make sure you get an approval from a direct lender that states your application has been submitted and that your financials have been reviewed......a generic one from a mortgage broker will not usually do.
In some cases, you also need to be prepared to get approved by the bank's preferred lender.....it is not requested in all cases, but I am seeing it more and more in Orange and San Diego counties.
Make sure you are working with a full-time, real estate professional who has experience with bank-owned properties....you can get a great deal, but the process is often full of challenges that need to be navigated by an experienced professional.
Good luck!!

Jacqueline Walker answered:
Jane...Agents usually get paid once the sale closes escrow. if you are not comfortable with the manner in which your agent is representing you, you may want to contact his/her broker for assistance. It is difficult to provide you with more specific input without knowing the details of your situation, but don't put up with poor service, especially in an area as important as buying a home.
Jacqueline Walker answered:
It is critical you find an agent experienced in bank-owned sales. Buying from a bank can result in getting a great deal, but it also comes with a mine field of potential issues that require the guidance of an experienced professional. The sales process is often nothing like the one we generally use in California....the banks often use their own forms (addendums) which are drafted to protect the seller, not the buyer. Contingencies are often subject to passive removal and the seller's agents are often overloaded with files and disconnected from the process. Interview agents in your area and make sure the one you choose has the relevant experience.
