"If you are looking for a TOP-NOTCH realty experience select Jack and Melody Cote! Their knowledge of the area is extremely impressive and was critical to us as we were moving from out of state. After evaluating realtors in the area via the Internet, we selected Jack and Melody and reached out to them. They got back to us so very quickly and listened to what we wanted in a home and town. Then they sent us information to prepare for our trip to the area. Jack picked us up at our hotel for our house hunting trips, provided us with a notebook containing listings and tons of important information about the area, then made sure we had water and snacks, and we began our house hunting travels. Once we got to houses in the notebook, Jack made sure we knew about proper site orientation for a home relative to how we wanted to use our home. He knew we wanted to entertain in the evenings and so suggested which way the back of the house should face. Jack is never pushy. He is extremely focused on listening to the clients providing key facts and information, and making sure the client is informed about options and then happy in their decision. Once we decided on a home - which was very quickly because Jack only took us to areas and homes based upon his good listening skills relative to our wants in a new home and area - the process went very smoothly with absolutely every detail taken care of in the real estate transaction. He attended the purchase meetings, both walk-throughs of our home, and then the meeting with the Title company for signing of the closing papers. We have never met a team like Jack and Melody in the real estate world. They know the process and do all they can to help a client navigate the realty experience. Jack amazed us with his responsiveness; he always got back to us in an extremely timely fashion. He is available by phone, text, or email. He does everything he can to make the transaction flow smoothly. He goes out of his way to help and is extremely focused on an excellent customer experience. Jack is so kind and genuine; he is not a phony just to get the business. He focuses on the best outcome in negotiation to help his clients and anticipates bumps in the road; he comes up with customer focused solutions and makes sure the deal gets closed. He wants his clients to be thrilled with their experience and does all he can to make it so down to all the smallest detail; he thinks of things you have never thought of and shows you properties that you might not have even considered - but due to his knowledge and listening to you as you interact become just the right solution to your needs. Melody is available if Jack is with another client so the ball never gets dropped. If you want an expert realtor who is amazing in every way select Jack and Melody Cote! We were thrilled beyond measure with our experience with them." read more

If you want second to none, Jack is your man! We just closed on our home yesterday afternoon. It was a short sale, like the majority of the inventory in Nevada and we were apprised that it would take time to get through the process and that patience would be a virtue. Never did we imagine the process lasting nearly 6 months to the date. It was a cat and mouse game with both of the seller's first and second lien holders concluding with a grand delay by our own local loan agent (who will not be getting a review on Yelp; not because I don't feel he should be exposed, but because I just don't have the time to write about someone who isn't worth a you know what). Jack Cote' spent a whole week in finding us the perfect home and then the next six months "working" on getting us into the home. Each step of the process was carefully hand held by Jack. One instance comes to mind in which Jack discovered a "notice of sale" (foreclosure) while performing his routine check list of the property. He immediately made contact with the seller's agent which resulted in the delaying of the foreclosure sale. This is just one of many examples of an issue that was quickly mitigated by Jack thus keeping the contract alive and in motion. We have been under a high degree of stress for six months, the last two living in a rental with our family completely discombobulated and without the majority of our belongings stored far away in a PODS warehouse. Never did a day slip by that we were unable to reach him with questions and concerns. Each and every phone conversation, text message and email communication with Jack left us at ease that closure would come eventually. His innate ability to calm and rationalize the entire real estate transaction process is incredible! If you haven't met or spoken to Jack, I would classify him as a quiet storm. The man is incredible at what he does. He has the genuine ability to calm and clarify the process of buying or selling a home in this depressed market. He is a champion and one who can go the distance. When it seemed that all was lost and the deal was falling apart due to the seller and his broker, Jack took control of the situation and roped in all parties involved to keep the expired contract in motion. I truly feel that any other agent would have let the deal fall apart by either neglect or purpose. Our real estate transaction was long and difficult. Unfortunately, I'm pressed to say it was probably normal for these economic times. If you want a true champion that is truly working in your behalf, Jack is your man! Reach out to Jack, he's connected in every way humanly possible. He is a seasoned professional who will make it happen for you! read more

ATTENTION ALL HOME BUYERS AND/OR HOME SELLERS: If you're in the market for a realtor in the Reno, NV and/or surrounding areas, look no further than Jack Cote. He checks all the boxes-including (1) honest, (2) knowledgeable/experienced, (3) strong communication/negotiation skills, (4) dedicated/determined, (5) compassionate, (6) resourceful--AND some. Prior to purchasing a home in Carson City, NV, I researched realtors in the area. I narrowed down my search to a select few. I opted to go with Jack, because not only did he have an extensive number of 5-star reviews, his profile portrayed him as experienced and award-winning (see https://www.nvhometeam.com/agents/77174-Jack-Cote/), as well as a nice, down-to-Earth, family-oriented guy. When it comes to buying a house, I'm rather picky about what I want. Despite this, Jack stuck with me from start to finish, and he was very patient with me. I understand he's a very busy guy, but I feel as though he went out of his way to show me the homes I wanted to see at times that were convenient for me. On one occasion in particular, when I was out running around looking at homes on my own, he wasn't available to show me a home. However, he STILL made it happen. He reached out to his wife and work partner, Melody, who graciously agreed to show me the home. Once I found my desired home, Jack helped negotiate the best price possible (e.g., he looked for discounts that I might be eligible for). Also, he helped mediate the difficult experience I had with my lender. In addition, Jack was present alongside me at all my in-person meetings (e.g., closing, title company signing of documents, final walkthrough of home). It didn't stop here, though. Once I got the keys to my home, Jack rewarded me with an unexpected housewarming gift. Take home point: Jack isn't just a top-notch realtor; he's an exemplary human being . . . one whom I feel very fortunate to have crossed paths with. read more

My fiance and I realized we were committed to moving from Boise to Reno. We pulled Jacks name out of blind luck. I was amazed he was willing to work with us, even knowing that we were not moving to Reno for 6 months. He started working with us on a good price range given our prospective salaries and the fact that I would be applying for the loan without my fiance; due to being a military vet using the VA's first time home buyers loan. I was amazed that he kept in touch the entire time. Sending us new listings. He even sent me a welcome to Reno packet, giving me information on the area. This was very helpful to me as I had never really spent any time in Reno prior to our move. When we actually got to Reno, he started making time available around our schedule to see houses. He was very attentive to our house browsing and made notes on our commentary about the houses we saw. He also made it a point to notice things within house that were not only good things, but warnings about various other things. We like room in our kitchen and a direct line of sight to our living room, as we love to entertain guests. He helped narrow our selections down based upon what he had seen. The house we finally went with was not even in our original area; my fiance used to live in Reno so she gave him some areas she was interested in living in. We discovered this house with his help because he paid attention to what we wanted. I was continually amazed at how he made it feel like we were his sole client during the whole experience. We both could text or email him as needed with questions or concerns. He made it a point to meet with us for coffee during the actual loan process and to explain in as much detail as we needed, which was a lot, all the phases of the process. He was on time to every meeting and provided sound insight and advice. We ended up with a wonderful home that we both love. I am very grateful for our experiences with Jack. read more

TLDR, Jack Cote is a spectacular realtor, and I can't recommend him highly enough! We had a tricky out of state move with a constrained timeline, which we thought was going to be very stressful. After interviewing several realtors, we finally found Jack, and knew from our first conversation that he was a cut above the rest! Jack helped us narrow down our list of 25-30 homes down to a top 3 by the time we came up to Reno for in-person showings. His video tours are tremendously helpful for remote buyers, or even busy buyers that don't have the time to look at every single house. I have re-watched the tour he did for us on our final choice dozens of times. He points out flaws and features we would not have noticed or even thought to look for. This was our fourth home purchase, and even with the long-distance component, was by far the least stressful. We've worked with and interviewed a lot of realtors over the years as buyers and sellers, and Jack is easily the most knowledgeable we have had, with tons of practical, experienced advice. Jack's team and network made the inspections and closing coordination a breeze, so smooth we were even able to move up the closing date! Our total process from initial call to closing date was exactly 7 weeks, which is about half as long as our others have taken, not to mention half as stressful. To top that off, he's just a really nice guy, and does extra things like collect boxes after you're done moving to pass along to another client who needs them - so thoughtful! He has continued to help us coordinate repairs and improvements for us after the sale, making yet another aspect of our move easier. Jack will be the only guy we will call next time! read more

Being a first timer home-buyer & new to the whole process of buying a home, I needed a realtor who was well educated, informative & able to answer all my questions...and even the ones I hadn't even thought of yet. Luckily I was referred to Jack Cote, because I don't know how I could have gone through this without him! Jack was a true professional. He was understanding & fully committed to finding me the right home from day one. Due to his superior depth of knowledge, he was always able to answer any questions I had, and even provided detailed explanations to make sure I understood & was comfortable throughout the process. This was extremely reassuring for me. Jack was always available for me as well. Phone calls & texts were always returned quickly, and he always made me feel that I was his #1 priority. I can't stress enough how important it is to know that your realtor is truly looking out for you. Jack was also my voice of reason....even when I was getting desperate to find a home or frustrated losing out on bids, he always kept me grounded from overbidding on a property & assured me that the right home would come along eventually. I glad I listened because eventually Jack not only found me the perfect home, but at an outstanding price! He even went the extra mile covering my 1st year home warranty policy & a special housewarming gift on the day he handed me my keys. Again, what a great guy! Thanks again Jack :) I couldn't have been happier working with Jack, and would gladly recommend him to anyone who's looking to purchase a home. They say buying a home can be a stressful nightmare, but that was never the case with Jack. It was a pleasure! read more

A True "Full-Service Plus" Professional We couldn't be happier with the service and professionalism we received from Jack Cote. If you are looking for an agent who is patient, deeply knowledgeable, and incredibly well-connected, Jack is your person. Here is why we highly recommend him: Unmatched Patience: We were incredibly "picky" buyers. It took us 18 months and many showings to find the right home. Jack never pressured us; instead, he showed the care and patience to stick with us until the fit was right. Local Expertise: Jack's knowledge of the area is a massive asset. He helped us navigate subtle local nuances, like avoiding excessively windy pockets and identifying poor home orientation. He always arrived at showings prepared with deep data and facts. Respected by Peers: One of Jack's "superpowers" is his reputation. Other realtors are highly responsive to him and offer a level of transparency and trust that clearly stems from his years of professional consistency. A "Gold Edition" Network: Jack has a massive book of trusted resources. From loan agents and inspectors to handymen, movers, and pool maintenance, every professional he recommended provided the same elite level of service he does. Going Above and Beyond: Jack was incredibly generous, even covering the cost of various cleaning services and minor repairs to ensure the home was move-in ready. The Bottom Line: Jack truly earned our business. We received incredible value from a full-service "Plus" agent who remained consistently communicative and accurate from day one. We are so glad we chose him! read more

As someone who always reads the reviews and does a ton of research before buying something or hiring somoene, I honestly would give Jack 50 stars if I could. We needed someone extremely experienced and familiar with Reno since our purchase was made from the Bay Area, CA. As others have said, Jack is incredibly responsive by email and text. He is the calm and steady voice in what could be a roller coaster experience. Jack knew when to tell us to wait or pass on a home because it didn't have all the factors we wanted, like an in law suite. He listens, guides & is honest - such rare qualities to find in someone an invaluable when dealing with such a huge & complex transaction. Jack was knowledgabe about practical details, like getting a home with backyard shade for hot summer afternoons. He has a ready list of professionals in the area that he knows and trusts so we just felt very taken care of, from home inspector, insurance agent, lender to title. He took care of complex communications to the team and streamlined everything for us. Jack was available to walk through homes and give us a detailed video tour, which was also invaluable. You won't meet a kinder, knowledgable Reno local. Now that escrow has closed and we have moved in, we have absolutely no doubts that Jack led us to the perfect home. There are so many realtors to choose from - don't look any further. read more

Working with Jack during our recent home purchase was an absolute joy! His warm, heartfelt approach and genuine care transformed what could have been a stressful process into a truly seamless and delightful experience. From our very first meeting, Jack took the time to explore different neighborhoods with us, listening closely to understand our dreams and needs. His patience was remarkable, always offering thoughtful, personalized guidance without ever making us feel rushed or pressured. Jack went above and beyond in ways that truly touched our hearts. Whether he was recording detailed videos of properties for us while we were out of town, revisiting homes we loved to ensure we felt confident, or connecting us with his trusted contacts for our renovations, Jack's care and dedication shone through at every step. Even after closing, when we discovered a minor issue missed by the inspector, Jack stepped in immediately to resolve it, proving that his exceptional customer service extends well beyond the sale. Jack's professionalism, paired with his warm and client-focused approach, made us feel like we were working with a trusted friend. We wholeheartedly recommend Jack to anyone seeking a real estate agent who brings both expertise and genuine kindness to the journey. He made buying our home an unforgettable and heartwarming experience! read more

Moving to Reno from out of state could have been a nightmare, but working with Jack made it feel less like a business transaction and more like having a knowledgeable friend in your corner. His recorded virtual tours were an absolute lifesaver. We could walk through properties on our own time, compare details, and really get a feel for each place without making a dozen trips. What sets Jack apart is how genuinely he looks out for you. He's got decades of experience and contacts in the area, and he shares all of it freely. But more than that, he actually listens. Not just to the basics of what you're looking for, but to everything. He then takes it further, pointing out things you'd never think to consider yourself. Things like street noise levels, which direction the driveway faces for winter ice management, neighborhood quirks. Details that you normally wouldn't notice or think about until you're already living there. He's also incredibly responsive and easy to talk to. No waiting around wondering if your message got through, no feeling like you're bothering him with questions. Just straightforward, helpful communication whenever you need it. I've worked with several realtors over the years, and honestly, I've never found one I'd want to use again. Next time I need a realtor, I already know exactly who I'm calling. read more

We have had more than 20 real estate transactions with buying & selling homes in different cities and states. Jack and Melody Coté are by far the BEST realtors - we have had the pleasure to work with them during selling homes and buying homes. As a listing agent, they think of everything. They help make the home show the best, they have the best photographer who takes daytime photos but also pictures at night to show the house beautifully with the evening landscape lighting, and the write up detail helps the house description bring in the buyers! We just sold our primary home and Jack and Melody helped us get a top offer. They walked us through every step of the way. Jack and Melody are fantastic as buyers agents as well. We are now in the process of buying a new primary residence and we are impressed with their knowledge of the entire Reno area and surrounding regions. We have contacted them Friday afternoon, when a house newly hits the market, and they have arranged for us to see the property as soon as the seller is available for a showing. When thinking about making an offer, they have offered valuable advice on things we have forgotten. Jack and Melody are very thoughtful and thorough. They cross every T and dot every I! I will be a client for life and highly recommend Jack and Melody Coté! read more

We had an excellent exprience on the purchase of our Reno, Nevada home that closed November 2, 2010 using Jack Cote' from Chase International Real Estate. Jack was the best and most patient agent we have ever worked with and we have worked with several over the years. If you are looking to sell/ purchase a home in the Reno/Sparks area we would highly recomend Jack. If you are looking to transfer to this area or you are down sizing to a different home or even a first time buyer now is the time with prices and interest rates being low right now. We ended up purchasing a short sale and Jack kept us informed of the progress thru out the whole process. He showed us a lot of different properties until just the right one came along. He even went out of his way to push the process along to close within 2 weeks rather than 30 days. Jack was there for the closing and took care of all the inspections that needed to be ordered. He even subscribed to the Home Warranty Company for us. We really did not have to do anything thru out the whole process. Jack was always very easy to reach by phone and prompt to answer any questions. If your looking for a good honest agent, Jack Cote' is the one. Larry and Darlene L. read more

As a first time home-buyer I wasn't sure where to begin. I had called a couple Realtors that weren't very helpful. Then i found Jack, he helped me every step of the way right from the beginning. Jack set up an auto list so I would get daily emails of new listings in my price range. He probably took me to look at houses at least twice a week because I wanted to see them all. Jack worked around my schedule he met me in the evenings when I got off work and on weekends. Once we found my house we had to jump through some hoops because it was a foreclosure. When it didn't pass the first inspection because it was missing a smoke detector Jack went and bought one and installed it. When I had to have money set aside in escrow for repairs Jack managed to get it included in the loan amount. There were a few other bumps in the road but no matter what came up Jack solved the problem and kept me updated every step of the way. Thanks to a lot of hard work from Jack I've been in my home for a year. Even though the sale of the house is over and done with I know if I have any questions I can just shoot Jack an email. He's definitely someone you can depend on, he really went above and beyond and I would recommend him to everyone I know. read more

I recently had the pleasure of working with Jack as my realtor for my first home purchase, and the experience was nothing short of amazing. From the very beginning, Jack demonstrated exceptional communication skills, ensuring that I was informed and comfortable every step of the way. His dedication to making the home buying process as seamless and stress-free as possible truly stood out. What impressed me most was Jack's personal commitment to his clients. He shared that he entered the real estate field after having a less-than-ideal experience with his own home purchase, which has fueled his passion for providing top-notch service. This background gives him a unique perspective and a genuine empathy for his clients, which was evident in every interaction. Jack was always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and offer support, making my first-time home buying experience smooth and enjoyable. His professionalism, attention to detail, and proactive approach made all the difference. I highly recommend Jack to anyone looking for a realtor who truly cares about their clients and goes above and beyond to ensure a positive experience. Thank you, Jack, for making my dream of homeownership a reality! read more

I am an early-30s first-time home buyer that purchased a home prior to moving to Reno. My future colleague highly recommended Jack to me. My experience with Jack (as well as his associate Kirk Achuleta) was great. Jack oriented me to the city and the home buying process. I gained much trust in Jack and his team. He was never pushy, but was quick to objectively detail pros and cons. His knowledge of homes is outstanding. In fact, in the final walk through, he detected several things that the inspector missed. This is one of many experiences in working with Jack that I noted and appreciated; a few others are: willingness to credit closing costs himself to compensate for an uncompromising seller; immediate and responsiveness -- in action, not just in responding to emails; offering to continue to help out in various ways even after closing (e.g., "let me know when you want to winterize your irrigation system and I'll come to show you how" or, offering to hire a have maid service for me even after closing). Long story short, I hope to work with Jack and his team in any future realty transactions in Reno, and I will strongly recommend him to everyone else. read more
