Jackie Hawkinson was a fantastic agent who helped me close on a property in a competitive neighborhood in Waltham, MA. She helped me refine the parameters for what I was looking for in a property and guided me toward houses that she felt would be a strong fit for me. Jackie demonstrated a firm grasp of the pros/cons of each property we visited and was able to provide both tactical and strategic advice on how to negotiate & tailor my offer(s) to each property. I would highly recommend Jackie to anyone looking to "break-in" to the highly competitive real estate market in Boston.

Selling a house is far more challenging than buying one! Jackie Hawkinson is amazing and made the seemingly impossible happen in 2 months. She thoroughly explained the comps on recently sold houses and knew the demands of potential buyers. We had an older home that needed a great deal of work in order to receive our desired price and we had to get it ready fast.
Jackie had contacts for every detail and her follow through is 100%. From contractors to inspectors, repairmen, estate sale guidance and interior staging, she was in charge. Always professional and unusually calm. She obtained an excellent offer on our property in 5 days. Totally outstanding. We are so appreciative and highly recommend Jackie.
Barrett Sothesby in Lexington also has a top marketing program and high level of expertise for all the details. This combination of a top agent and agency is a winning one.

Jackie Hawkinson represents all the superior and personal qualities that a home buyer or seller requires. We made a sudden lifestyle change decision and decided to purchase a condo. With over 30 years in the profession, we felt we retained someone who understood the vast market challenges and could expedite our needs quickly. Jackie made everything happen professionally. She is extremely calm, a good negotiator, and a communicator with strong follow up details. We felt she was also the best person to manage the listing on our current property. I would highly recommend Jackie to anyone.

Jackie was extremely helpful and patient with us throughout our house buying process. She is knowledgeable about the market as well as what we should look into for each house we viewed. I would recommend her to any of my friends!

Many years ago, my husband and I reached out to Jackie to ask her advice on the value that finishing our basement might add to our current home. She prepared a full assessment of our property and gave us sound advice. She did not charge for this service, and we felt immensely grateful for it. MANY years later, we reached out to her to help us find a new home.
Jackie is such a personable, gentle and thoughtful individual. At no point did we feel we were frustrating her (our search took two years!). She seemed to take each "no, not this one" dismissal in stride and still kept her eye out for us, and encouraged us toward the end when it truly felt we were not going to ever find the right house.
We are certain we would not have had our bid accepted without the counsel of our agent.

Jackie assisted my daughter and me and displayed super good patience with a seller who was a bit difficult. Thanks, Jackie!

Can't say enough good about her.
Photographer was excellent, friendly, and interesting to know.
Took us through a difficult phase of our life - major downsizing, selling, and moving. Her support was key to making this possible at all, and to keeping it as positive as possible. Jackie is a consummate professional and was a calm, wise and helpful presence in every phase of a difficult process. And yes, she got us a great result!

Marketing was different than usual because of the corona virus (no hard copies of any materials), but Jackie did a great job, both informing us of what was currently available, and lining up appointments to show the house, keeping strict adherence to Covid restrictions (masks, gloves, showings limited to 2 people plus their broker by appointment only, no kids, etc.)
Jackie brought in Mary Lou McDonough for consultation at one point, and she was equally excellent - very impressed!
One of the above answers how long it took to sell our house, and the smallest amount of time was 2 weeks or less. Our house sold at the 2nd open house on Sunday, May 10 (Mothers Day - I considered cancelling the OH because of the "holiday"), and we had 6 competitive offers on "offer day," Tuesday May 12! That was 4 days after it was listed!

Jackie Hawkinson frequently partners with our listing broker, Mary-Lou McDonough. They worked together to transform our home from lovely to remarkable. I never worked with brokers who worked so hard on a listing.
My experience has been that the listing broker gathers information, inputs it into a data base, has a broker's open house, and an open house, the sale happens after a month or so, and the broker gets their commission. This was not the case with Jackie and Mary-Lou. They worked very, very hard to make the property as wonderful as possible in order to get the best value possible.
