Every home holds a story.

“Talk about Kismet, we were making our third annual trip to purchase a home in the hot market called Santa Barbara. A few days prior to our trip, a house we liked that was taken off the market came back on. We asked the realtor we had been working with for a year. To call us if the house came back on the market. Never heard a word. A friend recommended Jackie Potter. We flew into SB for the open house. Jackie met us at the airport because our car was delayed. We loved the house and made an offer. Another person made a higher bid and needed financing. They didn't get financing and our bid was accepted. Within a day of the offer being accepted Jackie helped us arrange for a home inspector, termite inspector, electrician, plumber, landscaper and contractor to be on hand. In one afternoon we were able to assess our decision and move forward with the deal. To top everything else, she had a great escrow agent and their team to work with our financial advisors to make it all happen. Jackie is a consummate knowledgeable real estate professional. Real Estate is not Jackie's hobby, it's her passion. She doesn't give you cut and paste information you already have. She understands what it takes to help the buyer make the best decision you can make. When you are competing in a hot market you have to have a realtor that is going to give you the edge. Jackie delivers the razor's edge.”

“Jackie was a true partner in our winning bid to land our dream home in the competitive Santa Barbara market. She is smart, focused, knowledgeable, resourceful, committed, and a great advisor and advocate. Her insight and ability to assemble a team of contractors and other buyer services bolstered our confidence in our assessment of the property. Her Compass team walks you through the paperwork and makes that part so easy. We landed in town 5 weeks ago and now we own the home we knew we really wanted. We wouldn't have succeeded without her. Thank you, Jackie!”

“We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Jackie! As first-time home buyers, Jackie took the time to thoughtfully walk us through the entire process. She kept us feeling informed and confident while navigating the intricacies of buying a home. We so appreciated the time she spent helping us every step of the way and always so quick to respond to our questions. Her care and attention are noteworthy and she’s truly the best to work with! We can’t recommend Jackie enough!”

“Jackie is a delight to work with. Her exuberance and bright smile are just what buyers and sellers need in a competitive market like Santa Barbara. She is detailed, thorough, professional and responsive in her work. In every transaction that I have shared with her, Jackie kept clients updated and supported them throughout the whole process. If you are in the market, you will want Jackie on your team!”

“I have nothing but amazing things to say about Jackie. She is so knowledgeable about the real estate market and a true joy to have as an agent. After one conversation, whether you are a buyer or a seller you will know youre in great hands. She is a hard worker and wont stop until the job is done which is so comforting to know things will be handled successfully and that you can reach her at anytime. Could not speak higher of Jackie!”

“I can not thank Jackie enough for her help finding a rental property. Being out of town made the process a bit more difficult, but Jackie was so helpful driving by the properties, giving me information on neighborhoods, and even steering me away from several deceiving listings! She was professional, very knowledgable about the area, and always available to answer questions. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor in the SB area. Jackie is great! Thank you!!”
