Why Work With Us?

My husband and I came to Jackie with a complicated task. We were ready to sell our antique home that we had lived in for 25 years and were looking for a new home with primarily one floor living. Beyond that single prerequisite, we didn’t have any clear idea of either what town we would like to live in or what kind of property we wanted to buy; a condo, a single family existing home or land for a design/build scenario.

The journey lasted a relatively brief time but had so many unexpected turns (as real estate often does) that I simply can’t imagine navigating it with anyone but Jackie. When our search was ambiguous, she helped us focus. When we made an offer on a condo, her deep and extensive experience meant it was well crafted, leading to its acceptance. When the seller failed to perform, causing the deal to fall apart, Jackie’s calm, professional manner helped us manage the stressful situation. When we took our home off the market as a result, Jackie kept tabs on customers that had shown interest in it. And ultimately, a few weeks later, her diligence led her to find for us a stunning piece of land to build the home of our dreams. And then Jackie came up with a masterfully creative proposal: Contacting the folks that had shown interest when our current home was on the market, selling it with an extended closing date to allow time for our new home to be built. Finally, Jackie introduced us to the builder and the team that we have chosen to build our beautiful new home.

Focused, extensively experienced, calm, professional, diligent, creative out of the box thinking and well networked, Jackie is the consummate real estate professional. With the highest of integrity, a delightful sense of humor and endless kindness, she is also a wonderful human being. We recommend Jackie Hawkinson without reservation.

Jackie Hawkinson is the best realtor with whom I have ever dealt. She is so knowledgeable of the current real estate market and positions the home for sale in the best possible light. We received an offer for $31,000 above asking within four days of listing my parents’ home in Lexington, and were able to close 32 days after accepting the offer.

The process was seamless, thanks in large part to Jackie’s thorough preparation, planning, and communication. I am very thankful that I chose to work with Jackie, and am happy to refer her to anyone thinking of selling their home.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for everything. I thank you especially for the many extra things you have done, the kindness you have bestowed on our family, and your gentle, reassuring presence throughout. I don’t know how I would have done this without you. You were one of the great gifts. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Our recent home sale in Lexington, a mid-century modern, was about as low stress as possible, largely due to the very insightful, supportive, experienced presence of Jackie Hawkinson. We had interviewed several other Realtors, some claiming to be experts in mid-century modern, and presenting a very aggressive manner right off the bat. A year before, we briefly worked with someone who has little vision and proposed pricing at a significantly lower price. Jackie’s calm demeanour, her history of sales over decades in the area, including the post-modern style, her thoughtful pricing, absolutely killer staging and support in presenting our home so beautifully produced a rapid sale at a terrific price. She is able to work with complex family dynamics and take care of the seller’s needs during this life-changing process. In addition, her guidance gave us the extra time to downsize effectively and choose our new home with care.

We worked with Jackie on the sale of our Lexington home, and she exceeded all of our expectations for a seller’s agent. Despite an aggressive timeline for getting our home on the market, Jackie’s excellent organizational skills and detail-oriented approach helped it all come together smoothly. She was very involved in each step of the process to ensure that nothing was overlooked and was very responsive with us from start to finish. Jackie’s deep knowledge and experience in the Lexington market and contacts within the community were a strong asset to this transaction by helping us to properly position our home for sale. She is a great listener, very accommodating, and a real pleasure to work with overall. We’d highly recommend Jackie’s services to anyone who is looking to buy or sell real estate in the Lexington area.

We couldn’t have been happier with Jackie Hawkinson. Jackie has a deep understanding of the local markets. She brings just the right balance of calm confidence, and experience to her real estate transactions, and we always felt that we were in good hands.

Jackie acted as both our seller’s agent and buyer’s agent. For our home sale, Jackie’s advice, as well as her valuable connections with an expert stager and photographer, resulted in our property being highly competitive in a very tight market. Because of Jackie, we sold our home for 15% above asking price, which was thrilling.

Over the course of 1.5 years Jackie took us to numerous open houses and home tours in the very tight Arlington and Lexington markets. She never wavered in her belief that we could find the right fit, even when we started to doubt. And she was right! She guided us through a complicated home purchase and because of her advice, our offer was the most attractive it could be. We found our new home in exactly the area we were looking for in Lexington.

Jackie’s kindness and genuine interest and desire to help her clients are reflected in her success as a real estate broker. We sincerely recommend her without hesitation.

I am writing to highly recommend Jackie Hawkinson as a Realtor. I have known Jackie for many years, but I had never used her professional services. When I decided to sell my house in Arlington after 16 years of residence. I chose Jackie on the strong recommendations of many friends who had worked with her.

Jackie provided wise and thoughtful (but gentle) guidance each step of the way, from procedural matters to pricing and timing. At her recommendation (and using trades people she recommended) I made a number of cosmetic changes to the house, including substantial interior painting and redecoration. Guided by her good taste and sure sense of market appeal, my house was transformed into a much more attractive property. The result was that I received a successful offer above the asking price a week after it went on the market. Jackie’s follow-through is just as careful and thorough as her preparation work and she has continued to guide me through every remaining step toward a successful closing.

I would be very happy to speak with anyone about Jackie’s exceptional skills as a Realtor.
