Jessica is amazing. We couldn’t have imagined a better agent to help us sell our home. She was in our corner and completely supportive throughout the entire process from listing to close. She has excellent knowledge of all aspects of real estate and really great intuition about the market. She was expertly strategic in pricing, timing, and marketing our home. Jessica was 100% committed to the sale of our house. She kept us completely informed at all times, and answered every one of our emails, texts, and phone calls immediately. We were amazed at the number of details she was handling for us behind the scenes. We always knew she was working hard for us and we are convinced she was able to get us the very best possible outcome in selling our home. Thanks, Jessica!

Jessica is amazing! She makes herself available at all times, she is easy to contact, and easy to work with. Her level of knowledge is crazy. From soil to water, to traffic patterns, she seems to have a handle on everything! Jessica helped me find and buy my first house in Santa Cruz, 13 years ago. I am so grateful she came back to real estate. If you want an agent who is knowledgeable, hard working on your behalf, honest and kind, call Jessica Schattenburg!

We cannot say enough about Jessica's performance as our seller's agent throughout the listing and sale of my mother-in-law's home. Her professionalism, sage advice, network of seller's support services (e.g. stager, home inspector, sewer inspector, housecleaner, etc.) and sensitivity during a difficult time were all qualities that made our experience overwhelmingly positive. Above all, Jessica's communication skills with each and every family member and all of the professionals involved in listing and selling our home were so exceptional that we cannot recommend her highly enough. Jessica knows our community and our county and she knows her business backwards and forwards. We wouldn't hesitate to hire her again or recommend her without reservation. Thoroughly phenomenal experience!

If only there were 10 stars! I cannot say enough positive things about Jessica! Over the years she has helped me/my family purchase 2 homes (and has always made herself available for consultations and questions over the years). Purchasing a home is a big deal, it’s scary for so many different reasons (especially if you know absolutely nothing about buying a home). Jessica put all of us at ease with her expertise, as we as with the obvious fact that she is NOT just trying to make a sale. She loves what she does, she loves to see people make a house their home. Jessica holds nothing back when it comes to her honest opinion, and ALWAYS has her clients best interests in the forefront of her mind! Jessica is the best!!!!

Jessica is a realtor that goes the extra mile for her clients. She is personable, skilled, professional, and reliable. She is on top of all the rules and requirements that happen in our local real estate market, be it the Sewer Lateral Ordinances in Santa Cruz County, or helpful tips and information on lending. She has a wealth of knowledge in our local market and all the surrounding neighborhoods and rural areas.

Jessica pays close attention and she listens to her clients. This saves everyone valuable time and energy. It also gets her clients to their end result of buying their dream property or selling their home a whole lot faster.

Aside from being on professional and reliable, Jessica is also very nice and easy to work with. She gives back to our community though many volunteer hours to animal causes, and she founded a charitable organization supporting children's youth dance in Santa Cruz.

Buying or selling... I'd give Jessica a call.

I cannot speak highly enough about Jessica Schattenburg and her expertise in real estate. Jessica possesses a comprehensive knowledge base that is necessary to successfully navigate the complexities of the real estate world today. In addition, she provides unsurpassed customer service and goes above and beyond with her level of communication and commitment throughout the whole process. Jessica is also very dedicated both personally and professionally to "giving back" to the community through a variety of philanthropic endeavors, which is indicative of her overall character. We had tremendous success both buying and selling with Jessica and would only look to her for future transactions.

You cannot go wrong choosing Jessica to represent you in your real estate transactions. She is a straight-forward, truth telling expert who knows the market and who does not shy away from difficult situations. She will tell you the hard truth and ask you to consider whether you are being realistic. These are not easy conversations to have with a client. At the end of the day, you will know that she has represented you to the best of her ability and you had all the information you needed to make a good decision.

Jessica assisted my family in finding our first home in the Santa Cruz area. She was extremely dedicated in helping us find the right home that would fit our needs. For example, we placed an offer on a home, and she was tireless in her efforts to assist us with the offer and counter-offers. And, she is very knowledgeable about practical aspects of homes, neighborhoods and the community. She has tremendous knowledge of the proper care of homes which assisted us in purchasing our home, and, it also helped in the following years to maintain the quality of our home. Lastly, she is very communicative and will take the time to make sure everyone understands all aspects of the transaction.
