Joy Jacobs & Jen Jacobs Bolger, The Jacobs Team

We highly recommend Joy Jacobs and her team of professionals. We have bought and sold homes before and this, by far, was the smoothest experience. Joy’s team is very responsive and professional, handling details big and small. We highly recommend Joy and her team for the sale or purchase of a house. You will not be disapointed!

We were so blessed by The Jacobs Team. Not only were they professional, but they were also extremely helpful and kind. They helped make the stressful home buying process easier with their hard work and knowledge. We highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great and trustworthy realtor.

Joy and Jen are as good as it gets! Wonderful work ethic, extremely personable and I would recommend them to absolutely anyone. I very much look forward to building a even longer relationship with the Jacobs Team! Best in the business.

Joy and Jen are the best! We had a complicated 3 house transaction. They lined up all the dominos and made it happen. We couldn’t be happier and are so grateful for everything they did for us.

Joy and Jen are such a pleasure to work with. Their experience with real estate is outstanding. I’ve known the Jacobs team for quite some time and they always deliver!!! I will always send friends, family or anyone that is looking to buy to this dynamic duo!!! Keep it up you two!!!

There’s a reason Joy and Jen are top agents in the area — they have years of experience, always look out for their clients’ best interests and are tough negotiators. They are also well respected by agents throughout the area and have an incredible team. Joy and Jen are also great resources — well connected and have a wealth of knowledge about different types of real estate investment.

The Jacobs Team is the BEST! From beginning to end of our home buying experience in the Monterey Bay, both Joy and Jen were wonderful to work with. Their sunny dispositions made a difficult task fun and exciting! We are thrilled with our new home and neighborhood, we will always be thankful to The Jacobs Team for helping us!

we are so happy!!! thank you for all your amazing help! The Jacobs Team — Real Estate Experts for the Monterey Peninsula are the best realtors ever!!! you helped make our dreams come true

Joy Jacobs and her team did an absolutely great job on the sale of our home. Joy worked through issues on our escrow and closed our sale in 30 days. Her team did an outstanding job with both marketing and open houses throughout the entire process. After working with Joy she makes you truly feel like family. I would highly recommend Joy and her team, they will work to get your home sold and if you are a buyer there is no one better to show you the Monterey Peninsula.

Joy and her team went waaaay beyond what was expected or required. From the moment my wife and I met here, she was our best friend! We moved from Huntington Beach where we had some issues with our buyers down there, Joy and her team did not hesitate to jump in help our relator in H.B. and calm our nerves. Thank you very much Joy, Marilyn and Georgia! You are the best around, NO QUESTION ABOUT IT!

Joy Jacobs makes buying or selling real estate a Joyful experience. The wonder of working with Joy is the fabulous team she has put together. They are there for you every step of the way. This amazing team does the impossible. They closed an escrow for me that would have crumbled and fallen apart several times, if it weren’t for Joy going above and beyond anything one could reasonably expect to get it closed. When Joy commits to sell your home, or find you a new one, she performs. You matter to her. I have purchased and sold dozens of properties over the years and never worked with an agent that I felt truly cared about at the level that Joy cares. She is determined to close your deal and takes it personally. It isn’t «just a job». She shepherds the deal in a way that everyone feels taken care of and good about the transaction. When you hire Joy, you get a whole team working on your behalf, not just one agent. Each one on the team uses their own expertise to make sure you deal closes and you get the best treatment possible. Jen is a marvelous companion for finding your new home. I can’t overstate the value of having a buyers agent, rather than get stuck working with an agent who is really representing the seller, not the buyer in a dual agency situation. If you are looking for a home, don’t go it alone! Get Jen and Joy to help you find you new property and represent you all along the way. It doesn’t’ cost you a dime, the seller is paying the commission, but you know you have the best agents looking out for just you. I would not consider using another agent in Monterey County. I don’t often write reviews on line, but I am so moved by the expertise of this team I just had to «share»!

Joy Jacobs and her team helped us maneuver through a very long and complicated short sale. Throughout the whole process they were very professional, friendly, and on top of things. They literally had to sell the house five or six times because the buyers kept flaking out or had bank problems. The final deal took more than 6 months (due to the Buyer’s complicated business history), but they kept us on top of what was happening at every minute. Calls (and almost instant text replies) were always bitter-​sweet. She sometimes had to deliver bad news but by the end of the call we were laughing and just enjoying talking to her.
Part Agent, part comedian and part spiritual advisor, Joy manages to make you feel like your deal is the most important thing in her life right now, next to her Grand-​babies (even on our reduced commission short-​sale)!!!
If you are looking for an agent who gets things done, while having a good time doing it then Jacobs Realty should be your choice. Do yourself a favor– call and meet your «New best Friend».

This is an update to my previous 5 star review.
Joy and Marilyn did the impossible! Joy found the perfect home for us by good old fashioned, roll up your sleeves hard work. They partnered with us every step of the way. And consider this: all was accomplished with us being 2 hours apart. We cannot say or thank them enough, as we have said «Joy Joy makes it happen!» Their dedication to customer service earned the the #1 spot for realtors in the Monterey Weekly AND in our hearts! Now I want to buy another home just to watch them work their magic!

«Joy and her team worked tirelessly to help us sell our home. The entire staff was helpful, friendly, professional and dedicated to making things easy for us. If you are considering selling a home I would highly recommend this great team.»

Love Love LOVE The Jacobs Team!

I’ve bought and sold real estate 5 times with Jen and Joy Jacobs and will continue to work with them for all of my real estate transactions. Their customer service and professionalism is superior but what I appreciate most is the great negotiating skills to get me the best possible price for my property. I highly recommend Jen and Joy Jacobs!

The Jacobs team primarily works out of this office. They’re locals who love real estate and love working hard for their clients.
