Client Testimonials

Five Stars Simply Aren’t Sufficient

"Five stars simply aren't sufficient--Jacque is a unique talent among many. She has not only an acute intuition that is right-on, she is also a superb negotiator who thinks quickly on her feet and stays in control of discussions effortlessly. She listens extremely well and patiently, works tirelessly on your behalf and delivers. Do yourself a favor and let her guide you through your real estate transaction--you'll be glad you did!"

Exceeded All Expectations

"Jacque exceeded all my expectations of what a real estate agent should be. Not only was she a true professional, she went out of her way to make us feel comfortable during the whole process. Her confidence, knowledge of the area and housing values, along with an ability to translate our "wish list" of things we liked into a well tuned tour of properties helped us narrow our search down to the final property we made an offer on. What I'm trying to convey is that she earned our trust through her actions. Buying and financing a home in today's environment is quite an undertaking. I don't know if we could have accomplished what we did with Jacque with any other agent. Not only did we find the perfect house, we developed a great friendship. I can not give Jacque high enough praise...if you are in the market to buy or sell a home in the Sedona area, she is the only one I would recommend."

Read More
Professional Ally and True Friend

"Jacque is by far the most professional and thorough real estate expert we have ever had the opportunity to work with. Her patience, perseverance, knowledge of the area, expertise in negotiating and understanding the market make her a rare find in the real estate industry. Her attention to detail is incredible and her willingness to attend to everything required in a long distance sale is simply remarkable. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone seeking to buy or sell a home the Sedona/Yavapai county area. In the years that we have known her, she has become not only a professional ally in the real estate world, but a true friend."

Read More
Extremely Knowledgeable and Genuinely Compassionate

"Jacque is what every professional should strive to be, in any field. She is extremely knowledgeable of the area/market. She is meticulously professional, responsive and pleasant to work with. We were involved in a short sale and Jacque shepherded us through the buying process patiently, and more remarkably, with genuine compassion and interest. We truly felt we had an advocate throughout the process and have deep respect for her professionalism and her "humanity". Most remarkable, however, is that we now count Jacque as a friend in our new neighborhood. A buyer/seller absolutely cannot have a better real estate ally than Jacque Weems."

Deserving of All the Stars

"I loved having Jacque Weems as my Realtor®. She did everything that I could ever have expected. If I called she answered or immediately returned the call. I worked with her to both purchase my casita and when I sold. Not only that, she is so nice and a pleasure to do all business with. It was so easy for me. She deserves all the stars in a review."

Invaluable Expertise, Guidance, and Tireless Effort

"Dear Jacque, We hope this note finds you well. We wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for your exceptional support and dedication throughout our home buying process in Sedona. Your expertise, tireless effort and guidance were invaluable in helping us find the perfect home. Your commitment to ensuring a smooth sales process was evident in every step, and we truly appreciate your attention to detail and professionalism. Once again, thank you, Jacque, for your unwavering support, generosity, and for helping us find our dream home."

Smart, Congenial, Responsive, Seasoned Professional

"Living in California my fiancé and I began to consider the potential for Arizona as a desirable place to retire. A good friend of mine (also a real estate agent) recommended Jacque Weems as a good contact for Sedona. While my fiancé and I both have real estate experience, neither of us were familiar with the Sedona marketplace. Jacque turned out to be the perfect agent for us. Being a smart, congenial, responsive, seasoned professional (over 20 years in the Sedona market) we were able to relate quickly, zero in on the right property for our needs and negotiate a favorable price. Thank you Jacque for an incredible job!"

Read More
Extensive Knowledge

"Jacque is a very talented professional who has extensive understanding and knowledge of both the local and overall real estate markets. This expertise becomes most useful when dealing in difficult times and markets. She is very responsive and open minded and a skilled negotiator. I highly recommend her."

Could Not be Happier!

"I am writing in enthusiastic appreciation of the work of Jacque Weems in selling my late Father’s house in Sedona. Although it had a beautiful location and had many nice features, it had been in need of remodeling for many years. The result was that the house had been on the market for a year and a half before Jacque took it on. Her masterful abilities at presentation and marketing managed to show off the best aspects of the house. I should also note that I do not live near Sedona, so that Jacque had to manage the minor improvements to the house that were required several times to get it into sales shape. This she did wonderfully, getting bids from local craftsmen so that the repairs could be done quickly and at a reasonable cost. In summary I could not be happier with the job that Jacque did in selling the house. She is a pleasure to work with, and I could not recommend her more highly."

Read More
Strongly Recommend

"Jacque is about a sale and so much more! The service and assistance with a long distance move was wonderful. She attended to every detail and was always available for help long after the initial deal was negotiated. She was not there just to make a commission but to facilitate every aspect of our transition to Sedona. I would do business with her again in a heart beat and strongly recommend her for anyone moving to the area."

Read More
Outstanding Negotiation Skills

"Jacque was able to sell and close my personal home ( 1.1 million) and an investment home ($575,000) within 48 hours of each other during a depressed real estate market. Her negotiation skills were outstanding and well played in keeping both deals together. I would not hesitate in contracting Jacque to selling my next home and highly recommend her for any property regardless of the value."

Read More
Very Skilled and Professional

"Jacque is a very skilled and professional agent. We appreciated her patience and expertise during the long process of finding us a home and negotiating a short sale. We would use her again should we buy or sell a house and would recommend her highly."

The Gold Standard in Real Estate

"We met Jacque through a mutual acquaintance several years ago. We were immediately impressed with her knowledge, professionalism, and friendliness. Jacque made us feel very comfortable and gave us a very good overview of the area and the market. We looked at properties for several years occasionally taking tours of homes of interests during our visits to Sedona. Early this year we found a home that really caught our interest. With Jacque's assistance we were able to secure a contract for the home allowing us to come out for a tour. We also wanted to tour several homes while in Sedona, so Jacque assisted us in finding other comparable homes to tour. She answered all our questions and was quick to follow-up when some needed more research. When we decided to purchase our home, Jacque provided excellent guidance and leadership through the negotiating and then acquisition process. She even secured estimates for repairs that were revealed during the home inspection. Her advice about what needed to be addressed by the seller or by us to be compliant with local or state laws was invaluable. In addition, Jacque assisted us in the process of securing a short-term lease agreement with the previous owner which has facilitated a very smooth transition of ownership and cash flow for both parties. We have acquired real estate in 4 states and viewed properties with Realtors® in several other states, but we have never worked with anyone possessing the communication skills, knowledge of the market/business/laws, patience and friendly manner that Jacque has provided to us. From here on, Jacque is the gold standard that all other Realtors® we conduct business with will be measured against."

Highly Recommend

"We were thrilled with the opportunity to work with Jacque! I would refer anyone I know looking for a home in the Sedona area to her. Most notable was her local knowledge and her contacts in that area for any aspect of home buying that one could need or imagine! The information she provided about the inventory was spot on and her professionalism and responsiveness to us was fantastic. We would very highly recommend her and will be using her again if ever needed."

Read More
Professional, Courteous Service from Day One

"Jacque Weems gave us professional, courteous service from day one. She did an excellent job negotiating a sale price we were pleased with, while making sure we out bid another party's offer. Her follow through on all of the details throughout the escrow period was flawless. When a minor title issue arose she used it to our advantage, negotiating a credit from the seller. As an individual who has been in the real estate business for many years, I must say that I have dealt with very few agents I regard as highly as I do Jacque."

Read More
Comprehensive Knowledge of Sedona Real Estate

"Jacque is a real professional. She has a comprehensive knowledge of Sedona area real estate, she is very serious about finding you the home of your dreams, and she is very good at negotiating a good price, once you make your choice. We were from out of town and she arranged her schedule to show us many houses on our own schedule. Once we found our dream home, she guided us in negotiating a great price, and then she took care of ALL the local details. We really enjoyed working with her, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home in Sedona, West Sedona, or the Village of Oak Creek."

Read More
Set a New Standard for Kindness

"Jacque set a new standard for kindness. All other aspects of the buying process stem from this one fact. That and her absolute knowledge of the local Sedona market. Jacque actually gave us more service after the closing of the home than other sales people give in trying to make the sale. We would recommend that any prospective buyers who make contact with Jacque consider using her expertise. She deserves it."

My Realtor® of Choice

"Jacque Weems was my Realtor® of choice on the recent sale of my Sedona home. Over and over she showed me she was the right choice, as we successfully navigated my home's preparation, sale, and the steps that lead to closing. Selling or buying a home has changed significantly and even as a person with business background, I would have been lost without her expertise and wisdom. Trust is essential and my trust in her only grew during the process. Jacque is very experienced, capable, truthful, discrete, a great marketer and negotiator, and aware. She understands people and the industry, genuinely wants the best for her clients, and went above and beyond for me many times. Her attention to details that matter, was exemplary and led us to a great result. I would ask her to be my Realtor® all over again in a heartbeat. Thank-you Jacque!"

Dedication to the End

"We could not have been happier working with Jacque Weems selling our home in Sedona. It was a second home, so we were working long distance, and she made that work, was always in communication with our representative in our primary home. She was the ultimate professional, worked very hard, was always upbeat. That confidence in her continued when I met her personally, and she was particularly helpful in finishing the sale."

Read More
A Consummate Professional

"Jacque Weems is a consummate professional. She helped us prepare our house for showing beforehand (something other agents did not think important) We received an offer within a week of listing our house with her. She also actively helped us through the difficulties of losing two buyers ( not her fault) before our final sale. She knows the area and the particulars of listing a home in our neighborhood. I would highly recommend Jacque to potential buyers and sellers. You will not go wrong."

Read More
Extremely Responsive and Reliable

"Jacque is very professional and has extensive knowledge of the real estate market of Sedona and the surrounding area. She is extremely responsive and reliable, taking the time to listen to find out what your needs are and then works to fulfill those needs expertly and flawlessly. We have used Jacque's services twice and she would be the first and only call we'd make for any future real estate transactions in the Sedona area."

Can’t Recommend Her Highly Enough

"Jacque was quite simply the best! She got us four offers over asking within 48 hours of listing. Her expertise in pricing and marketing allowed us to maximize the return on our home. Her attention to detail and personal care for clients were unmatched . Can’t recommend her highly enough!!"

Read More
She Truly was Our Real Estate Fiduciary

"The following definition best describes the support we received from Jacque Weems: “A fiduciary is a person or organization that acts on behalf of a person(s) putting their clients' interest ahead of their own, with a duty to preserve good faith and trust. Being a fiduciary thus requires being bound both legally and ethically to act in their clients’ best interest.” Jacque is an expert in Sedona/Verde Valley real estate. She accurately priced our home and then did a stellar job of marketing and presenting it. Her guidance, recommendations and local knowledge were vital to the success of our sale. Jacque is a consummate professional. Her written and verbal communications were precise and accurate and kept us on track, focused and prepared for all seller actions and responses. Jacque was our coach, mentor and trusted advocate throughout this process. She truly was our real estate fiduciary—the highest standard a Realtor® can be held to."

Read More
The Best of Best

"We have known Jacque for more than 15 years. During that time, she has represented us twice as sellers and twice as buyers. Jacque sets the standard for professionalism in her industry. Her knowledge, expertise and ability to negotiate wisely guided us through every transactions skillfully, even in tricky market situations. We have referred several people to Jacque and they all experienced the same level of service and professionalism. Jacque truly is the best of best in her field."
