Seven Offers in Four Days Two words of advice to anyone who is serious about selling their house, Jackie Ovad. Jackie is an award-winning realtor with Keller Williams. She posted a "Coming Soon" preview of our home. Our official listing went live the Thursday after Easter, April 21st, and we immediately received seven offers. By April 24th, we accepted one of the offers. Everything was done in four days. Our settlement was May 20th, and the next day we drove by our former home for the last time. What happened before those four days is the real story. Jackie has a team of home improvement specialists that she works with exclusively. We needed painters, a plumber, and an electrician to update and freshen areas of our home. Jackie had a photographer/videographer come to capture the interior and exterior for listing. She facilitated our price negotiations and preferences, and all was done well beyond our expectations. Two more words about Mrs. Ovad's process, follow-up and follow-through. We never had to chase her around to ask questions or get progress reports. We felt like her entire focus was solely on us. We always felt confident that we were not an afterthought or back-burner client with Jackie, even though she was working with multiple clients at the same time. Impeccable taste further describes this master realtor. If you plan to stage your home for sale, you will get sound advice and hands-on help. Jackie even chose the interior and exterior paint colors for us. She knows her stuff and how to gently dissuade her clients from making mistakes that could delay or sabotage a sale. Jackie listens carefully to your dreams and concerns and will tell you the truth about your prospective sale. She knows the market in your neighborhood because she does her homework. Jackie knows real estate law. She is tireless, and you can trust the advice and the numbers she quotes. We referred Jackie to our next-door neighbor and our neighbor who lived around the corner from us. Both families are happily living their next chapter too. Start packing and finish quickly. Don't let the movers catch you scrambling on moving day. Thank you, Jackie. Scott and Marcia, Maryland 2022 read more

If you were to look up in the dictionary "Top-notch Real Estate Agent," Jackie's picture will be right there! She is a one-of-a-kind professional, and I am so grateful that my family found her. Jackie is the epitome of excellence. Jackie's professionalism during our time together has exceeded all of my expectations, and I am unsure if anyone will ever be able to come close to her. Jackie worked with my family for several years. We reached out to her through seeing her advertisement, and from the very beginning, she showed her resourcefulness and patience! Jackie never tried to push her own agenda. She sought to support our family and put our needs as a priority. From our initial contact, I explained that my family had the worst experience with buying our first home. That agent wasn't caring, didn't fight for our needs, and was there for a quick buck. Jackie listened to our concerns and stepped right in to make sure we truly understood the process of selling our first home. She patiently waited while we dealt with various obstacles in the process and consistently checked in on this. Our selling situation and the impromptu move were not ideal, but Jackie was there every step of the way. She made sure we stayed on task AND got the best deal for our family. Our house still needed to be fixed, and she provided resources and help along the way. We sold our home in a buyer's market, and Jackie got us two deals within a WEEK of putting our house on the market. Shocking since our home still needed some improvement. The best token of all was that we got our asking price! We were surprised, but considering the attention-to-detail Jackie gives, we knew we were in good hands. During the selling process, Jackie was full on duty by making sure our paperwork was correct, and she even found a financial error in our paperwork and advocating for us to have it fixed. The only regret I have in this process is that we moved out-of-state. Otherwise, Jackie has a customer in us FOR LIFE. Thank you, Jackie, for everything. You are a one-of-a-kind leader, advocate, and exceptional person all around. We are deeply grateful to you! read more

Jackie Ovad is an AMAZING real estate agent!!!  We are her repeat clients.  Need I say more? Four years ago, we hired her to find the right tenant for our rental property.  She moved fast and quickly filled the vacancy.  The tenant stayed with us for 4 years. Then, we decided to sell our rental property a few months ago.  Without a doubt, we hired Jackie on the spot.  Her work ethics and tenacity to complete the job is not something common in other real estate agents.  It comes from years of experience in delivering results.  But you can find these kinds of reviews anywhere. Let me tell you something beyond her obvious hard working nature.  She works this hard as if this were her personal home to sell.  The upgrades she recommended got us closer to our ambitious selling price.  The contractor she hired (go Carlos!!!) has been working alongside her on other listings and has proven to be extremely intelligent, hard working, honest, diligent, and very affordable.  Together, this is a power combo, one that everyone can benefit greatly. We're non-Maryland residential owners, so we couldn't visit our property frequently.  We simply trusted Jackie with all the upgrades to bring our home to the highest standards.  She handles everything for us, making frequent trips to our home to tie any loose ends.  She oversaw all upgrades and repairs, in our absence.  I guarantee you will not find these qualities in other real estate agents. Not all real estate agents care for their clients like Jackie does.  Her advice is valuable, her actions are quick, and her promise is solid.  She's incredibly dependable, and I say this as an understatement.  I'm extremely fortunate to have worked with her twice.   If these qualities are important, then please consider Jackie when you need a friend, a coach, and an advisor for your real estate needs.  I promise you will not be disappointed. Thank you a million Jackie!!!We truly appreciate all your efforts!!! Chet read more

If you are looking to sell or buy a home, my family and I highly recommend Jackie Ovad!! Jackie provided our family with impeccable service and kept us informed throughout the entire selling and buying process. Initially, we were apprehensive about finding a good realtor but reading the reviews really helped because that's how we found Jackie. Selling a home requires a lot of work and can be a stressful process, especially with young children because your home needs to be showcase ready at all times. But, Jackie made this process more bearable by providing us with guidance on how to make our home more appealing to buyers. During our initial meeting, she spent time with us explaining the process and what she would be doing. She addressed all of our concerns which put us at ease. Jackie was able to sell our home for more than what we were asking, which was a major PLUS!!!! Additionally, you want to coordinate your sell as much as possible with the purchase of your new home. We were out of the country while negotiating and finalizing the details on the purchase of our new home. Jackie was very dependable and responsive and kept us abreast about the status of our soon to be home. Jackie was able to negotiate the purchase of our new home significantly below the asking price. Jackie was very knowledgeable about what needed to be done and now, our dream home has become a reality. She became more than a realtor to our family, she became a friend. She put the needs of our family at the forefront which really meant a lot. We truly can't express how much we appreciate her. Thank you Jackie for everything!!! read more

We would like to express our total positive experience with our agent Jackie Ovad. Jackie is an outstanding professional real estate agent that has demonstrated old school business values. She is a powerful example of a well-trained representative with many attributes - highly motivated, customer service oriented, goal driven, and resourceful. From day one, Jackie has been respectable, accessible, courteous, punctual and most of all honest. During our recent condo buying process, we had to go out of town. Nevertheless, Jackie assured us that we were in good hands. Not only was she good at following up and updating us on our progress, she impressed us with "Tech Savvy" skills of electronic signing. Jackie has a thorough understanding of real estate industry software, social media, and is accountable for all her actions. The number one asset that we admire the most is her ability to listen to our concerns and respond with positive feedback. What more could a home buyer or seller ask for of their agent. She is just awesome and we are giving her the greatest recommendation. We have already started referring Jackie to our family and friends. As business professionals, we recognize and appreciate quality customer service and Jackie Ovad exceeded our expectations. We are certain that any customer will be satisfied with choosing Jackie as their agent. We wish Jackie much success, health and prosperity because she deserves it. She was truly a blessing to us and we are thankful. read more

Where do I start? Jackie Ovad was a gift from heaven for my wife and I. I found her thru Facebook advertising due to an unsatisfactory previous situation. We explained our situation and I sat back and listened. BOOM her knowledge, people skills, and ambition burst thru the phone and our 1st meeting. Jackie is very organized, detailed , focused and determined on meeting all of your expectations and beyond. She gave us a gameplan that fit our personal goals and went to work. Suggestions were made to help sell our home immediately. You can tell she's an expert in this industry by her contacts in mortgage industry, home improvement, inspections, home pests, plumbing, painting, photography, etc. Whatever you need she's got the hook up lol. We wanted to sell our townhome and move into a single family home ASAP. We have a 2yr old and an 10yr old so urgency was key. She communicated with us constantly and always available via calls, text, emails, etc. Our home was on the market for 5 months with a previous realtor with not much activity and with Jackie for 1month we got so much traffic and home SOLD and new HOME bought/settled in the same day. I'm telling you JACKIE OVAD is the answer!!! You won't be disappointed ever :-) read more

My wife and I were not looking forward to selling our house at first. We knew we were in a tough situation and were anticipating it taking months to sell as well as taking a hit financially. Jackie was the first realtor we met and we were blown away by her initial presentation. We had asked to meet just to get some information about selling and she came prepared with everything we needed to know. She had done the research and knew our situation before even meeting us for the first time. Her experience and expertise as a realtor speaks for itself. She also had a vast array of resources available to aide us in the selling process. She made the entire process so easy and stress free. From providing guidance on staging our home for showings to helping us find contractors for needed repairs, she did it all. She even had a professional photographer take and prepare the photos for our listing. We were able to list our house ahead of schedule and had multiple showings and offers on our home within the first week. In the end she sold our house in less than a month and got more than our original asking price. Jackie was professional, diligent, and available throughout the entire process. read more

We have had the pleasure of working with Jackie on 3 separate occasions over the past 5 years and each time she has proven why she is the Realtor that any home buyer or seller should contact first. Her marketing and selling expertise are second to no one. Jackie was able to assist us in selling our mother's house during the challenge of the pandemic. The house sold before it was officially put on the market for cash, top dollar, and over asking price. Our neighbor was moving out of state and needed a realtor to assist them to sell their house in a timely manner. We recommended Jackie, and of course she came through for them as well. On our latest move from the house, we lived in for 25 years, Jackie recommended several upgrades that we should do to get top dollar. We followed her advice. Our house sold for over 20k of the listing price in 2 days with over 20 showings during that time frame. Jackie is a wonderful person to work with and will always have your best interest in mind. Jackie is and will remain our realtor for life. Rick & Iris read more

As a result of the unfortunate obligation I had to serve as the personal representative for our late brother's estate, I needed to find a real estate professional to help us with the sale of a "unique" (read: "challenging") home in the Baltimore area. Since neither my surviving brother nor I live there, it was important to find someone who was not only an experienced and ethical agent, but also someone who was willing to go the extra mile in representing us locally: engaging vendors, negotiating contracts, overseeing work, constantly checking up on the house, and countless other details...even going to buy a new refrigerator on our behalf! In addition to being a skilled and effective real estate agent, Jackie Ovad is an authentic human being, a caring person who works incredibly hard and who brings both savvy business skills and a big heart to her work. I am grateful to have had the good fortune of finding her and I am grateful to her for her incredibly hard work, her professional guidance, and her support throughout the process. read more

To start, Mrs. Ovad is a one-of-a kind Real Estate Agent! Her professionalism, enthusiasm and knowledge are astounding! Mrs. Ovad sold our neighbors house and when we decided to downsize, we reached out to Mrs. Ovad to sell our home. She is very efficient and very communicative. Whenever we called her with questions or concerns, she would respond right away. Mrs. Ovad even contacted contractors to complete painting for us. Within a week, our house was on the market and sold! My husband and I could not have asked for a better Real Estate Agent than Mrs. Ovad. She made selling our home a smooth process. Mrs. Ovad went above and beyond for my Husband and I to make sure we received the best price for our home. We are profoundly grateful to have had such a caring, professional and knowledgeable Real Estate Agent as Mrs. Ovad! I am going to recommend Mrs. Ovad to anyone we meet who wants to sell or buy a home! Mrs. Ovad, you are the best! My Husband and I thank you so much! Pamela A. read more

As out of town Real Estate Investors my wife and I are very fortunate to have chosen Jackie. From day one she has been very professional in every way desired by a R.E agent. Honest, courteous, timely and covers every aspect of your buy or sell., Our particular property required all of the attributes that Jackie possesses to make the deal sell at listing price (especially in today's market atmosphere) The biggest challenge our sell had was tackled head on by Jackie, her ability to get things completed cannot be underestimated or explained in words. She handled that challenge with hard work, and one of the biggest effort I have seen a R.E. agent put into a deal. You would have to hire her (trust me it's worth it) and experience it yourself. We are in the middle of another Real Estate opportunity and have already determined to use Jackie again. Ro and J Eastshire Drive LLC read more

Working with Jackie as our real estate agent was an absolute dream! She is the third real estate agent that we've work with over the course of five years (buying and selling first a condo in Baltimore city and then a townhouse in Baltimore County), and she is hands down the best. Jackie was always available and responsive to answer our questions or concerns, and she constantly went above and beyond our expectations as our real estate agent to help sell our house for the best price. We were out of state for nearly the entire selling process, but everything still went smoothly thanks to Jackie. We feel very lucky to have gotten to work with her and plan to recommend her to any family or friends who need a real estate agent in the future. read more

We highly recommend Jackie Ovad whether you are buying or selling a home. Jackie did a wonderful job helping us find and purchase the perfect home for our family in the ideal location at an excellent price. When it came time to sell and relocate, we were very lucky to have her as our agent again. Jackie sold our home, not once, not twice but three times because of buyer financing issues. Each time our home was under contract for more than the asking price within 4 days of being put on the market. She was in constant contact, not only with us but also with the buyer's real estate agent and mortgage agent. Jackie is very knowledgeable about the area and her negotiating skills are top notch! read more

My husband and I were thrilled to have Jackie Ovad as our Realtor for the sale of our home and the purchase of our new home. She responded very quickly to every email, text and phone call, gave us great advice, very professional, attentive to detail and very easy to work with. She stayed the course through a very trying and frustrating selling/closing process for both homes! Jackie is extremely honest with her clients and I can highly recommend her to anyone seeking a truly professional Realtor She works VERY hard for her clients and best of all, gets results! you won't go wrong with Jackie Ovad as your Realtor for sure! read more

Amazing!! I would give her a million stars if I could. We were first time home sellers and she made the process a lot easier than expected. Jackie gave us great a great recommendation on a contractor for small fixes we needed to get the house show ready and she took care of everything after we accepted the offer and had to fix things in the home inspection. Just put it this way, the average home in our neighborhood took 4 months to sell, we accepted an offer in a week! I would recommend her to anyone! read more

Jackie is the best realtor I have ever worked with. I have bought and sold 5 homes in the past and have never received as much assistance with the sale as Jackie provided. I live over 2 hrs away from the property being sold. Jackie recommended contractors for needed repairs, painting etc, and coordinated with them for access and followup. She got the price I wanted and had interested buyers before it was even listed. Highly recommended. read more

Jackie is a true professional! I work with many real estate agents so I can say from experience Jackie (and her assistants!) makes the entire home inspection process seem easier than most. She is trustworthy and always recommends what is in her clients best interest. Her professionalism, enthusiasm and care is commendable. I would recommend her to anyone I know who is buying/selling a home. read more

Jackie Ovad was absolutely they best in her personality, the initial consultation, honesty, well knowledgeable of preparation, gave great suggestions for valuable interest and execution of the sale of our home. she is veery professional and communication is 100%. We had an amazing experience and would highly recommend her as your realtor read more

I found Jackie through an online service. From the beginning she was personanable and set my mind at ease regarding the process to sell my home. The Marketing and efficiency was top tier. My home sold in 11 days and I contribute that to Jackie's expertise and professionalism. I high recommend Jackie to all that need to sell their home. read more
