"Can't believe that we are writing a review this quick on buying our dream vacation home for our family in Big Bear Lakes! We met Jessica Duarte through interviewing agents in the area. She had the right amount of energy and experience we were looking for. We wanted a local agent that knew the area. She went to the properties and gave us virtual tours. She was honest and forthright. We eventually found the right home and the process took a whopping 15 days to close! Crazy to say we bought the place sight-unseen, but a big part of that decision was the trust we felt with Jessica. We don't normally pull triggers like that unless it is with someone special :) We finally went up to see property in person this past Saturday and we are even more in love with the city, the area and the home. Jessica has connections to everyone and everything you will need to become a "local". Looking forward to our next adventure with our family in Big Bear. Thanks Jessica!"

"If I could give 1000 stars I would!!!Jessica is a phenomenal real estate agent. Her and her team work seamlessly with the transactions with our house. Not only did I use her to buy our house but we also used her to sell the same house. She stayed on top of our transaction every step of the way and kept us updated throughout the entire process. She was able to move the house very quickly and got us more than we expected. Very professional and I would highly recommend her. If you're buying or selling a home, definitely give Jessica a call!!!"

"It’s been such a pleasure working with Jessica as our real estate agent. What we first loved about her was her engaging personality and how she organized cabin/house listings based on our needs and affordability. We had a total of 9 listings that she organized so well from the local housing market--- starting from our meeting location then to the line up of properties. She was able to give us brief history and details about each property with its pros and cons especially during winter storms. It only took us half a day to visit all those properties and because of her valuable feedback, we were able to make a sound decision choosing which property we wanted to buy at the end of the day. Since then, she made everything smooth sailing for us—from making an offer to the listing agent, to opening escrow and making sure all paper works were in place, to closing escrow successfully in just a matter of weeks! Jessica addressed all our concerns and was always so reassuring throughout the whole "

"If you are looking for an investment opportunity or home in the mountains, your answer is Jessica. Being from the coast, it was important for us to have a realtor that knows the mountains and can work remotely with us and our schedule. Jessica helps in every regard. She learns her clients' wants and needs. She knows all the mountain cities, not just Big Bear or just Lake Arrowhead. She knows the communities, the neighborhoods, and the right prices. If you can't make it up when a home catches your eye, she's got you covered. She'll do her own research, do a walkthrough for you, and give you her honest assessment. That's how we found the cabin we just closed on. From our first days just looking in Arrowhead and Big Bear, to working with our travel distance, through to our final close, Jessica is helpful and responsive start to finish. You need to add her contact information for when your next opportunity arises. Give Jessica a call. You'll be glad you did. ~ Brandon and Valerie S"

"Jessica helped my parents sell their vacation home in Big Bear City and we are extremely happy with her services. We are not locals, but Jessica was available to answer our many calls and text messages, she even stopped by our estate sale and helped out by posting about it on her social media. If you are in need of an agent, look no further - you won't regret it!"

  -Gina L., Client

"We all know that buying a home can be a stressful and challenging process. I was so happy that I found Jessica to help me through it. She proved to be extremely knowledgeable of the area and the home buying process. Her expertise is apparent and she was always eager to assist in any way. Most of all she was kind and pleasant. We encountered many difficulties along the way and at times I felt like I was "losing it" and she was always available to explain things, answer questions, or simply listen. I always felt as though my family was her top priority and that she was always looking out for our best interest. I highly recommend Jessica for ALL of your real estate needs. Our experience was so wonderful that we will be using her for future endeavors."

  -Erwin I., Client

"Jessica was an absolute pleasure to work with! She is very professional, quick to respond, knowledgeable about the area, and thorough with the home buying process. I could not have asked for a better experience purchasing my investment properly. In addition she has phenomenal virtual tour skills. We were so comfortable with her virtual tours that we put in a couple offers without even seeing the homes in person and knew exactly what we were getting when we stepped onsite. She also went above and beyond making recommendations on how to get setup renting out my home. I would definitely recommend Jessica for anyone buying a home in Big Bear, Arrowhead, Crestline, Running Springs, or the surrounding areas. We could not have asked for more! Thank you so much Jessica!!"

"Great service. Got right back to me for one of my clients. Expert in the area, and does a tremendous job."

  -Brendan B., Client

"Jon and Jessica were truly amazing to work with. They consistently went the extra mile to help sell our house as quickly as possible. They were very good at explaining and reassuring us when we had questions. We were living out of state while selling our home but that had no impact on their level of communication. We understood their personal time and as soon as their work day started they were quick to respond and easy to get in touch with. It is clear that they truly care about the people they are helping and how their job can have a positive impact on a major life decision of selling or buying a home. They communicated honestly and with integrity every step of the way and we trusted them 100%. I couldn't imagine going through that process with any other team."

  -Elisabeth H., Client

"Working with Jonathan & Jessica was great! They have extensive knowledge of the current market and the high desert, where we were looking to buy. They made multiple trips over several months and stuck by us as multiple houses were scooped up by cash or outrageously over asking price offers. Jonathan really encouraged us to think outside of the box, and look at properties that we hadn't initially considered. When we finally found a hidden gem we worked closely with Jonathan, he was very helpful with every step of the buying process, and it all paid off as we landed the house at asking price! We'll certainly work with him again and recommend others to as well; you won't be disappointed."

  -Jonathan Duarte , Client

"Jessica is fantastic. She was quite knowledgable about the area we were looking in (Arrowhead/Big Bear). She answered all our questions via text or call promptly and intelligently, and played liaison between my family and the potential sellers with ease. We had very little miscommunication and she was always on time when we met up. We had a sort of difficult viewing schedule being a few hours drive each way from the location, but she accommodated and coordinated this well with the prospective sellers, when we found a place we wanted she was on top of all the paperwork and communicated constantly with us via text etc. She worked with our chosen lender, who was unfamiliar with the area and helped us process a VA loan offer to funded in 23 days. She even coordinated with the sellers to get us early access to the home to make inspector required changes ourselves, and came by to let us in to do so. Excellent, excellent, excellent! "

"Jessica is an amazing member of your team when looking for a new home. She helped us purchase a vacation home in Big Bear Lake. She has been incredibly helpful with everything from working with the city to finding local help with the cabin. "

  -Jessica Duarte, Client

"Jessica was a pleasure to work with through the entire process of finding our home in Crestline. Having been through the buying process before I had a firm grasp on what my expectations were in an agent and Jessica exceeded them all! She was proficient in her knowledge of the area and the temperature of the market. Her communication skills are top notch and her ability to cater to our needs was on par. If we are ever in the market again we will be going straight to Jessica."

"Great and efficient realtor! We were very happy with her knowledge and help. Great office and team! Highly recommend her for buying or selling your home."

"Thank you Jessica, We did it! A smooth sale and money in the bank all in 40 days! Before meeting you, I was concerned about selling our cabin in Big Bear from my home in Huntington Beach. You assured me that we could do this all on line and do it we did... EASY! Your knowledge of the area and market was very helpful and much appreciated. Sincerely, Nancy"

"Jessica helped me sell my rents property in Big Bear. I am also a Realtor but work in another state so I was looking for someone that could get the job done and take on the extra responsibility of dealing with someone who isn't local to the area. Being an agent myself, I have have expectations and Jessica exceeded every one of them. She was extremely communicative, went the extra mile and actually sold my home the day before it officially hit the market for more money than I thought I would get. If anyone is looking for an amazing agent that will help them accomplish their real estate needs in the Big Bear area, Jessica should be the ONLY person to call!"

  -Jessica Duarte, Client

"I was fortunate and pleased to have Jessica as my realtor. She was very responsive and communicative from the beginning -- always prompt to reply, she let me know in advance if she would be out of touch for a day. On several occasions she went out of her way to rearrange her schedule to fit me in. I appreciated this extra effort since I was not local and my times of visiting the area were limited. She also ensured that everything went smoothly with the transaction of the cabin I was purchasing. Her local knowledge of the Big Bear area was an extreme plus -- she is dedicated not only to helping you finish the sale, but making sure you have everything you need to get settled in the area!"

  -Jessica Duarte, Client

"Jessica did an awesome job! She really knows what she is doing and is a great negotiator. We were so grateful to have her and if I had to transact in Big Bear again I would definitely contact her. Plus, I always had so much fun chatting with her on the phone, so upbeat and knowledgeable."

  -Jessica Duarte, Client

"Jessica Duarte was extremely helpful with the recent sale of our cabin in Sugarloaf, CA. She was responsive and always returned our numerous calls and texts in a timely fashion. She helped us complete all the required paperwork as well. I couldn't be more satisfied with her/our results. I would highly recommend her if you are buying or selling a home in the Big Bear mountain area!"

  -Rory M., Client

"Jessica spent a great deal of time with us to help us find the perfect second home. She went the extra mile to accommodate our needs- including sending us videos! She's a thorough and caring realtor. Couldn't ask for more!"

  -Jeff A, Client

"I am so grateful for Jessica's wisdom and support in purchasing my first home! She helped me narrow down which part of the mountain I wanted to focus on, caught on real quick to what I was looking for, and thanks to her, I closed on a house I love. She is very responsive, knowledgeable, patient, and I am so grateful for her support! She's fantastic to work with! Highly recommend going with Jessica if you're looking for a home in the mountains. She recommended great lender and contractor options as well."

  -Annie S., Client

"Jessica is an exceptional agent in the Big Bear area! We are so glad we found her. She showed us (in person and via video) several cabins in our price range, and ultimately found us the exact cabin we'd been searching for! She's extremely knowledgeable about the area as she is a lifelong resident. She's also incredibly professional and very quick/responsive. I don't think we could've worked with a better agent and I highly recommend her to anyone in the market for a new home!"

  -Melissa N., Client

"Jessica Duarte was (and still is) a pleasure to work with. My partner and I happened to stumble upon a cute local eatery in Big Bear village where we were recommended to use Jess to show us a property. She was so professional, sweet, and enthusiastic. Knowing we weren't sure or even serious about purchasing a property just yet, she still came and was never once pushy. We decided to continue working with her and she made the experience smooth and enjoyable. We are now homeowners of a cute little home in Sugarloaf. If you want someone who is trustworthy, reliable, and will do anything to make purchasing a home go smoothly, Jessica Duarte is the way to go! Thank you so much Jess!!!"
