Fantastic experience: Jaclyn did an amazing job helping us find the perfect home! She was friendly, responsive, and incredibly patient throughout the entire process. We never felt pressured, and we truly appreciated the wise advice and guidance she gave us along the way. Her thorough knowledge of Gig Harbor and the surrounding areas helped us narrow down the neighborhoods that were the best fit for us. She took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and made the home-buying process feel smooth and much less stressful. We’re so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her!
Fantastic experience: We just recently bought our new home in Gig Harbor through Jaclyn Harkson. She’s incredibly friendly, competent, warm and professional. She patiently took us out house hunting many different times, and really took the time to listen to the unique details about the property that we were hoping to find. We didn’t feel rushed. She knows this area inside and out and was a great resource and wealth of information, as we are brand new to town. She handled our final negotiations smoothly and efficiently, and was very prompt. It was also just a delight to spend time with her throughout the process! We Highly recommend Jaclyn Harkson as a wonderful Gig Harbor real estate agent!!
Fantastic experience: Who knew that a simple DM on Instagram could lead to such an impactful realtor-client relationship? As a renter new to the Gig Harbor area, I came across the beautiful, aesthetic, and wholesome content Jaclyn curates on Instagram, highlighting the very best of the Gig Harbor community. My husband and I had been passively looking for houses on Zillow, suddenly came across one that caught our attention, and I figured why not reach out to Jaclyn? I'm so glad that I did! Not only was she quick to respond, but was so open and enthusiastic about helping us find our perfect home from our first interaction! The entire process was seamless from first impression visits to inspections, which was so helpful as first-time Washington real estate buyers. Jaclyn proved to be the perfect match for us, and was gracious, kind, patient, and so knowledgeable! Not only was she able to share in the wisdom and knowledge that comes with being a lifelong resident of our community, but she also helped us understand the current market and how to appropriately set expectations during negotiations and in preparation for signing paperwork. Most importantly, we felt incredibly seen and known by Jaclyn, even during our short time together! She cared to learn about us as a couple, our hopes for the future, and we loved getting to share with her about our growing family at a time when many of our family and friends didn't yet know! In an industry that can feel so transactional, Jaclyn truly invests the time to ensure her clients know she is there for them, and truly cares about finding them their perfect little corner of Gig Harbor that fits all of their needs. We are so grateful that Instagram (of all places!) brought us together, and will be forever grateful for our experience with Jaclyn.
Oh Angelique, you are so kind! These words are so sweet. It was truly such a joy to help you and Nik through the home buying process in Gig Harbor. So grateful Instagram connected us!
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn was outstanding throughout the entire process of selling our home. She was incredibly detail-oriented, extremely timely in her communication, and made what could have been a stressful experience in today's ever changing market, feel simple and even fun. Her professionalism, organization, and dedication gave us confidence every step of the way. We highly recommend Jaclyn to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
Thank you for your kind words, Garrett! It was such a joy to help you and Allie with your home sale. The perfect outcome and perfect buyers!
Fantastic experience: There is not a better agent out there than Jaclyn. She is warm, deeply invested and hardworking. Her local knowledge and real estate expertise give her deep roots here and she generously shares them with people who trust her to help them land here. For us, the small details in a home matter deeply and she cared about those details right alongside us. She never rushed us or tried to convince us to settle. Instead, she listened, understood what mattered most, and helped us find a home that has helped us build a life we'd always dreamed of. We take every opportunity to recommend her.
This is so thoughtful of you! It was an honor to walk you through the home buying process and has been a highlight to see you transform your home into the most stunning setting!
Fantastic experience: A great experience. Couldn’t recommend her more!
Melissa, thank you! Such an honor helping you!
Fantastic experience: We had an outstanding experience working with Jaclyn. She is a true expert in the Gig Harbor market and provided invaluable guidance throughout our home search. She was incredibly patient as we looked at dozens of homes over an extended period, never making us feel rushed or pressured. Jaclyn worked seamlessly with other realtors to coordinate showings and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Since we were traveling into town to look at homes, she was always accommodating and made herself available whenever we needed her. We highly recommend Jaclyn to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Gig Harbor area and would absolutely choose to work with her again.
Wow, so incredibly kind! Thank you, Kellie! Wishing you and your family many special years in your new home. The wait was worth it!
Fantastic experience: We cannot recommend Jaclyn Harkson highly enough. As a fellow Gig Harbor native, she brings unmatched local knowledge, but what truly sets her apart is the integrity, compassion, and faith she brings to her work with each family! Selling our first family home —the home where we brought our babies home to and made countless cherished memories—was emotional to say the least! She guided us through every step with professionalism, organization, clear communication, and genuine care which made the entire process feel seamless and significantly less stressful. Her strong faith is reflected in the way she serves others. She doesn’t just help people buy and sell homes- she truly walked alongside our family through some of our most important life transitions with wisdom, grace, and an unwavering dedication to serving our family. If you’re looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, consistently proactive and deeply rooted in the Gig Harbor community, Jaclyn is simply exceptional. We are forever grateful for her guidance and the care she showed our family! 100/10! ❤️
Courtney, it was such a privilege to be invited into your home story — and walk alongside your family through that season reminded me of exactly why I do this work. Selling the home your babies came home to is so much more than a transaction. I never take that lightly. I truly believe I was put in this work for moments exactly like yours — to serve families with care, honesty, and a whole lot of heart. Your kind words fill my cup! Blessings to you and your sweet family!
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn was the perfect professional listing agent. From our initial consultation through prep work, staging, listing, negotiations, and closing, she was steady, reliable, knowledgeable, and easy to trust. We also sold our home while out of state, and Jaclyn had the resources, experience, and know-how to support us through every step without missing a beat. She made what could have been a stressful process feel organized and manageable, and we always felt like we were in capable hands. If you’re reading this, you found the right agent. Reach out to Jaclyn and it will be immediately apparent.
This means so much to me — thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Selling from out of state takes a lot of trust, and I never take that lightly. It was truly my privilege to be in your corner through every step, and I'm so glad it felt steady and manageable from where you were. You two were the epitome of the most lovely sellers. Wishing you all the best in this next chapter!
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn helped my wife and I buy our home in Gig Harbor and we’re so happy she did! We could not have chosen a better realtor for us. It was important for us to have a trusted resource and someone that knew the area which she absolutely checked. She was quick to respond to us and answered all our questions, paced everything great, and was just a pleasure to work with. She really made a daunting process feel seamless. We absolutely love the home we have now, but if we ever had to do the process again our first call would be to her.
This made my day — thank you both so much! Buying a home is a big deal, and I'm so glad I got to be part of that journey for you. It was a joy to work with you, and knowing you love where you landed makes it all worth it. When that day comes to do it again, I'll be ready!
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn is an amazing agent. She is completely in tune on what our wants and needs were on purchasing a new home. We were out of state and she came through with videos of the property with honest commentary. She is reliable and timely. This was our second time we had Jaclyn help us buy a home and we would highly recommend Jaclyn to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.
Thank you so much, this truly means the world to me. I'm so glad the videos helped bridge the distance. Loyal clients are the greatest compliment in this business. So happy for your family to all be close together again. Wishing you all the best in your new home!
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn was fabulous to work with! She was very responsive to our needs and helped move us through the process of a quick close by always being one step ahead of us. She gave us great comfort with her knowledge of the business.
Thank you so much — so happy to have helped your sweet family! A quick close takes a lot of moving pieces and I'm glad it felt smooth on your end. That's exactly what I'm here for. So glad we found the perfect Gig Harbor home.
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a realtor then you don’t need to look any further! I highly recommend Jaclyn. I really appreciated how Jaclyn listened to what our priorities were with purchasing our next home. She did a great job at sending us listing, and giving us the time and space to decide what we wanted. She was very attentive to all our questions. If there was something she didn’t know, she would do the research and find the answer. Her kind spirit and dedication to knowing the area was extremely helpful. She was highly knowledgeable with Gig Harbor, the market and all closing documents that come with purchasing a home. This made the whole experience go smoothly. She was also helpful with getting us connected to many different contractors so we could make the finishing touches before we moved. She is someone you’ll quickly love and befriend. I would highly recommend her service as well as I look forward to working with her again.
Erika, I truly enjoyed working with you and Jim to find your new home in Gig Harbor. Also, the feeling is mutual— you're easy to love! :)
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn was amazing! She exceeded our expectations throughout the entire home buying process. She truly supported us and took the time to know exactly what was important to us, so when our perfect house came on the market we were able to act quickly. We had a unique situation where we bought a house while living across the country. We bought the place without ever setting foot in it, which we normally would have never done. But Jaclyn took so much care in finding out what really mattered to us and we felt very confident in her recommendations. Her proactive communication with the selling agent helped us make an informed decision on our offer. The team of vendors that she recommended were all outstanding! The pre-inspection inspector ensured we knew the full scope of what we were buying and the mortgage team she connected us with took us through the easiest process we could have imagined for a loan. From beginning to end, we felt taken care of and were blown away by how smooth everything went. We can’t wait to recommend Jaclyn to everyone we know!
Wow — thank you so much, this genuinely made me tear up a little! Buying a home sight unseen from across the country takes so much trust, and I don't take that lightly for even a second. I'm so glad the whole team came through for you — that's exactly why I'm so careful about who I recommend. You two were a joy to work with and I cannot wait to see you settle into Gig Harbor life.
Fantastic experience: We had an great experience working with Jaclyn while searching for our first home! As first time buyers, the process initially felt overwhelming but she was able to guide us every step of the way with her patients and expertise. Jaclyn made the effort to fully understand our needs and always gave us space to go at our own pace. Thanks to her dedication and knowledge of the market, we found a home we can raise our two boys in. We couldn’t be happier. Thanks Jaclyn!
First home AND a place to raise your boys — it doesn't get better than that! Thank you so much for trusting me with such a big milestone. First-time buying can feel like a lot, and I'm so glad we were able to take it at your pace. Wishing your little family so many happy years in your new home!
Fantastic experience: Great, efficient, calm, knowledgeable, persistent, aggressive when she needs to be! Made the process of buying a home easy! Love her!
Lori, it was such a treat to serve you! I can't wait for you to enjoy all Gig Harbor has to offer in your new spot.
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn made our home shopping and buying experience not just smooth, but genuinely fun and enjoyable! She is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the market in the Gig Harbor area, and she was always patient and happy to answer our barrage of questions along the way. Jaclyn is the savvy expert you want on your side in a competitive market. From showing us homes at a moment’s notice to coordinating the inspector and cleaners, she took so much of the pressure off what can easily be a stressful process. I couldn’t recommend Jaclyn more highly!
Nick, it was such an honor to help your family with the move to Gig Harbor! I couldn't be more thrilled with where you landed. What a perfect home. Grateful for the opportunity to serve you!
Fantastic experience: We connected with Jaclyn through social media while exploring a potential move to Gig Harbor. From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive and demonstrated extensive knowledge of the area. What truly set her apart was her genuine interest in understanding our family's needs and preferences to help us find the ideal home. Jaclyn consistently kept us informed, often being the first to alert us when new listings became available, and promptly arranged tours—often within minutes. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, we ultimately found the perfect home in a wonderful neighborhood. Beyond her professionalism, Jaclyn brought warmth and enthusiasm to the entire process, making our home-buying journey not only smooth but truly enjoyable. She went above and beyond for our family and, in the process, became a trusted friend. We are deeply grateful for everything she has done and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in search of a home. Her professionalism, authenticity, and sincere commitment to her clients are second to none.
The cutest family!! So very grateful I had the honor of helping you find your home in the Harbor. I adore your family and can't wait for you to make all the new memories in your new house!
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn was wonderful to work with. Very responsive and helpful through our entire transaction. Highly recommend Jaclyn!
Liz, thank you for your review! I loved helping you and Don with the purchase of your dream property. Can't wait to see how things unfold there :)
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn is a gem! Land has its own challenges for listing and selling - knowing this, we interviewed multiple agents to find the best fit for selling our Gig Harbor property. Jaclyn's area-knowledge and background with land made our decision easy. From the beginning, she communicated consistently with us, keeping us in the loop on what was happening and next steps, as well as answering any and all questions along the way (even the silly ones!). She helped us secure a full price offer and saw it to the finish, helping us close significantly faster than we could've dreamed! In addition, she genuinely cares about her clients and took the time to get to know us. Our experience was nothing but smooth sailing and we highly recommend her for selling or buying. Thank you so much, Jaclyn!
Carly, it was such a gift to help you and Tanner through the sale of your Gig Harbor property! Thank you for your kind words and trusting me to help get you to the finish line... couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome. Onto the next chapter!
Fantastic experience: We cannot thank Jaclyn enough! She did a wonderful job and we will certainly use her again in the future.
Thank you, Ashton, for your kind review! I couldn't be more thrilled for your family and this next chapter.
Fantastic experience: From start to finish, Jaclyn made our complex home buying (and selling!) process feel totally seamless. She found us our dream waterfront property, while simultaneously coordinating the staging, listing and selling of our previous home in record time. We couldn't have done it without her expertise and dedication. The home buying and selling process can feel overwhelming, but I can honestly say that with Jaclyn at the helm it was fun and stress-free. If you're in the market, she's your gal!
It was a whirlwind, wasn't it?! So grateful to help navigate the waters of a contingent offer; both buying and selling simultaneously. Couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome and how seamless it all went.
Fantastic experience: We were so blessed to have found Jaclyn. She helped us find our dream home and worked very hard to make it a reality. She then helped us prepare to sell our beloved home we raised our kids in. She was wonderful to work with, patient, thorough, and went the extra mile to represent our interests. Not only is she amazing at what she does, but has become a sweet family friend that we would highly recommend to anyone.
I LOVE this photo and adore your family! Such a gift to help you through both the buying and selling processes. A home story I will forever be grateful to be apart of!
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn was incredible. She was a fierce negotiator and also organized all the vendors needed to sell our home quickly. From first conversation to sold home (at full price) was only 9 days, even in a slow market.
Thank you, Caleb! It was swift, and I couldn't be more thrilled with how it all came together. Thank you for trusting me to guide you through the process!
Fantastic experience: Working with Jaclyn has been a dream. Her attention to detail, support, and wisdom throughout this process has been such a gift. She has a wonderfully calm demeanor and for us, the moment we met her there was an instant decrease of stress. She has a peaceful confidence and brings so much excellence to what she does. Jaclyn is easy to trust throughout the home buying process and someone you want to have on your side. We are forever grateful for her guidance and assistance in finding our dream home!! I highly recommend working with Jaclyn to anyone searching for a home.
Courtney, such a thoughtful review— thank YOU! I loved helping your family through the process of purchasing your first home. I'm so proud of you two!! Here's to many special memories to be made!
Fantastic experience: Working with Jaclyn was incredible! It was clear that from the start she had our interests first. She was a great listener and was incredible when it came to crafting a strategy to get our dream home. I couldn't imagine a better experience working with a real estate agent and she's earned our business for life!
Harrison, thank you!! I loved helping your family navigate the Gig Harbor market as first-time homebuyers. Here's to many memories in your new home!
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn was a pleasure to work with. She was encouraging and supportive throughout the entire process of selling our property. Her communication was professional and always timely. Jaclyn kept us informed and never hesitated to provide answers to questions we may have had. From the prepping of the property to the sale, Jaclyn was there to guide us, and we are thankful for all of her efforts. A+ experience! Highly recommend reaching out to Jaclyn if looking to buy or sell!
It was a privilege to help you and Ashley through the sale of your property. Thank you for your trust in me to get us to the finish line!
Fantastic experience: My family recently worked with Jaclyn to buy our first home and let me tell you, we’re clients for life! She was an absolute joy to work with, showing unmatched professionalism and kindness every step of the way. Her local knowledge and industry expertise were evident from the outset, and she guided us beautifully with thoughtful questions and insights during our search, ultimately leading us to the perfect home for our young, growing family! Jaclyn went above and beyond for our family, working with our hectic and sometimes inflexible schedule, promptly answering questions at all times of day, and even connecting us with trusted local home service providers once we settled into our new house. Still, it’s clear that her outstanding dedication to our family isn’t unique to her track record—all it takes is a quick scroll through the rest of her reviews to see that she loves serving and caring for her clients. We count it an honor to be part of that list, and I think you would too. I couldn’t recommend her more.
Aly, such thoughtful words! It was an honor and JOY to help you and your family walk through the process of buying your first home!
Fantastic experience: Such a gift to have Jaclyn come alongside my wife and I as we ventured into buying our first home! From the outset Jaclyn showed herself to be a careful and close listener: working to fully understand what we were looking and hoping for in a home. Her attention to detail, local knowledge and industry expertise were evident immediately, and she helped us to have much clearer eyes than we otherwise would have while touring prospective homes. Within only days of working with her she brought to our attention a home that we fell in love with, and quickly went mutual on—beating out a number of competing offers. Throughout the entire process, all the way to closing, Jaclyn’s communication and customer service has been some of the absolute best we’ve ever experienced—and it’s clear she cares immensely for the people and families that she serves. We went into our first home-buying experience prepared for it to be stressful and overwhelming, but Jaclyn made it so easy and such a joy. I couldn’t recommend her more!
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! It was truly a gift to help you and Aly find a house here in Gig Harbor and to have your trust throughout the home buying process as first time homebuyers! I can’t wait for your family to experience life here. We are lucky to have you apart of our community!
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn was always available to answer texts and queries. We really felt comfortable working with her. Her calm approach made the experience of selling our house a lot less stressful. We would thoroughly recommend using Jaclyn as a realtor.
Stanley, thank you for your thoughtful words. It was a joy to help you and Jennifer through the home selling process in Gig Harbor. Best wishes on your next adventure!
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn is amazing if you are moving from outside of Gig Harbor- she knows everything about the area! She was great at listening to our needs/wants and showing us homes that may work for us. We highly recommend her and her team to anyone buying or selling:)
You are too kind! It was such a blessing to help your family with your relocation to Gig Harbor. Welcome Home to the Harbor... you are going to love living here!
Fantastic experience: My husband & I recently had the pleasure of working with Jacklyn while searching for a home, and I can't say enough good things about the experience. From start to finish, Jacklyn went above and beyond to ensure our offer was accepted. Jacklyn's deep knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and unwavering dedication truly set her apart. She listened to my needs, provided invaluable insights, and always had our best interests at heart. Whether it was answering late-night questions or accommodating our hectic schedule, Jacklyn was always there with a smile and a solution. Thanks to Jacklyn's expert guidance and tireless efforts, we were able to buy the home we wanted. If you're looking for a real estate agent who is professional, personable, and passionate about helping clients, look no further than Jacklyn Harkson. Highly recommended!
Kimmy, it was such a JOY to help you two with the purchase of your home. Thrilled to have beat multiple offers and landed you a dreamy rambler perfect for your needs. Appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn was awesome. She is fantastic and made no mistakes. She was proactive in asking the sellers for concessions that we didn’t think of, and did a great job of bargaining for us. A+++
Thank you for your thoughtful review, Stefan! It was an honor to help you through the home buying process in Gig Harbor.
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn was amazing to work with from start to finish! We had a long timeline we were working with and she was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. She had great knowledge of all of Pierce County and guided us along the way until we got exactly what we were looking for. Thank you Jaclyn!!
Thanks for your review, Shane! It was a privilege to help your family through the home buying and relocation process in the South Sound. Gig Harbor is lucky to have you!
Fantastic experience: FIVE STARS! Have recommended Jaclyn already to many family and friends. She is patient, knowledgeable, fun, and a great negotiator. Can't recommend highly enough!
Thank you, T! It was such a gift to help you and your family with this move. After a year long search, we did it!
Fantastic experience: Working with Jaclyn was the best experience! I could not recommend her enough. She is so knowledgeable and was helpful through the whole process!
Thank you, Morgan, for your sweet words!
Fantastic experience: We had the absolute pleasure of working with Jaclyn during the recent purchase of our new home and can confidently say that the experience was nothing short of outstanding. Jaclyn possesses a deep knowledge of the local market and provided invaluable insights that helped us make informed decisions at every step. Her eye for detail and ability to understand our unique preferences and needs made it feel like we were her top priority. She was always available to answer any questions, provide updates, and offer guidance no matter the time of day. Jaclyn kept us informed and reassured throughout the process, ensuring that we always felt confident and in control. Whether it was negotiating with the seller, coordinating inspections, or handling paperwork, Jaclyn managed everything with remarkable efficiency. Thanks to Jaclyn, we are now getting ready to move into our dream home and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. We highly recommend Jaclyn to anyone in need of a top-notch real estate professional.
Jennifer, thank you for your thoughtful review! It was an honor to help you and Tim find your dream home in Gig Harbor. Such a wonderful property! Welcome home to the Harbor!
Fantastic experience: We’ve worked with Jaclyn on multiple home sales and purchases and her service is unmatched! Our latest sale was one we had to do from out of state which on its face should have been stressful, but Jaclyn was so on top of everything the entire process was seamless! I would highly recommend anyone looking to sell or buy a home in the Tacoma/Gig Harbor area to work with Jaclyn!
Thank you for your kind words, Todd! I loved helping your family again!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Jaclyn. Amazing attention to detail at every step of the process. Thank you for making selling our home smooth and easy.
Ryan, it was such a joy to help you and your family!
Fantastic experience: We were moving in from out of state and Jaclyn was the perfect boots on the ground for our family. She was prompt, provided clear communication and excellent advice, helping us through negotiations all the way to closing. We would use her again and recommend her to any friend or family member that was looking for a stand out realtor!
Thank you for your kind words, Jessica. I truly loved helping your family find your home in the Harbor!
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn was fantastic to work with; she is a complete professional, knowledgeable and awesome with communication and details. We couldn’t be more pleased and would recommend her highly. Thank, Jaclyn!!! Live our new place.
Thank you, Scott! It was a joy to help you and Julie with your home purchase. Thrilled for you to be close to family!
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn was amazing to work with. My parents were selling their home, both 84 years old. Jaclyn made the process so easy for them. Coordinating everything from staging to pictures, and met my parents at their new residence to sign papers. She did a wonderful job communicating with my parents and was very patient with them and made sure they fully understood everything that was happening in the process. She also dealt with escrow and the HOA company to get a refund on amounts that my parents had prepaid. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jaclyn again!!
Debbie, thank you for your kind words! Your parents were a joy to work with... and always made me laugh throughout the process. So happy with their sale outcome!
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn has represented us both buying and selling homes. She has always exemplified her expertise in the market, helping us secure our home in the north end of Tacoma in a very competitive market, and then later, helping us sell that home on the very first day that it was listed for full price! Her ability to negotiate terms of a transaction and navigate through the entire process is world class. No doubt that she is the go to realtor for homes and Pierce county both buying and selling!
Jake, such a gift to be trusted several times over the years in both buying and selling. I love your family!
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn was such a professional from the first meeting to the closing day with my mothers condo. She kept us informed every step of the way in the process which really put my mother at ease with the sale.
Keith, thank you for your review! I loved helping your mother list her impeccable condo. And better yet, to get to know her more. Thank you for trusting me to take care of your family in the home selling processes!
Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a Realtor, look no further. SERIOUSLY. I have known Jaclyn for over a decade, but that's not why I'm giving her a 5-star review. She is genuinely an amazing real estate agent. She goes above-and-beyond for her clients - way beyond the call of duty. I would refer her to anyone and my husband and I will without-a-doubt retain her as our agent in the future. My husband and my first professional experience with Jaclyn was when she helped us sell our home in Tacoma. She gave us practical and well-reasoned advice not only regarding when to sell, but for how much. She and her team did an amazing job with staging and even had a video put together to highlight our property. Honestly, it was a better marketing campaign than we could have imagined. (Side story: The road in front of our house was under construction when it was being listed, and Jaclyn was worried that this would impact marketing. So she bought the road construction workers cookies from the Metropolitan Market and kindly asked them to move their construction vehicles so that her videographer could take unobstructed video. Because Jaclyn was so nice and persuasive, they agreed. We were floored that Jaclyn not only thought of that detail, but that she took it upon herself to make this gesture on our behalves.) We ended up getting an offer above list price and sold to a high-quality buyer who we had confidence would care for the property. It was truly a win-win. We were so happy with Jaclyn's representation that we also retained her to help us purchase our next home. Surprisingly enough, she was able to impress us EVEN MORE in that endeavor. Jaclyn quickly got a sense of our taste/style, set up viewing appointments literally within hours of us sending her properties we were interested in (yes, she is THAT responsive), established really good relationships with the listing agents, and helped us keep level-heads when narrowing down our search. Jaclyn comes from a construction background, so she has a very good eye for whether a home is in good condition or will require a lot of expensive "projects." Her insight was invaluable to us. When we finally landed on the right home, Jaclyn helped us put together a really strong offer, which was accepted. Then, when it came to closing, she went ABOVE-AND-BEYOND. There were all sorts of complications in closing because my husband and I live abroad and are in a drastically different time-zone. Jaclyn took it upon herself to coordinate with our lender and escrow to make sure that we had everything we needed to close. And because she had a positive professional relationship with the seller's agent, she was able to get us a bit more leniency than we otherwise would have received. If it weren't for Jaclyn's persistence, follow-through, and sheer professionalism, I honestly don't think we would have been able to close the transaction. My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Jaclyn and our experiences with her. We will be friends with Jaclyn and her family forever. But, friendship aside, there is no one else I would trust more in buying and selling a home. Five stars seem like too few for a Realtor (and person) of her caliber.
Hannah, thank you so much for your kind words. What a ride! So grateful for the opportunity to guide you through both the selling and buying processes. I couldn't be more excited for you to be the newest homeowners of such an iconic home! Many sweet memories to be made there.
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn was fantastic to work with from day one until closing, and beyond! She is thoughtful, professional and very knowledgeable. We wanted to work with someone who was an excellent communicator, and Jaclyn delivered! Our family felt fully supported through the entire process. We absolutely recommend Jaclyn and wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again in the future.
Sarah, it was such a gift to help your sweet family through the home buying process! Such a great home in the best location. Thank you for your trust in me!
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn helped us with a house search, while we were mostly out of state. We had some very particular goals from our Gig Harbor property which must have made it seem like trying to find a needle in a haystack. To top it off, during the time of our search, it was a very competitive market - with most homes getting multiple offers. Jaclyn had patience with us from the get-go, even though we didn't make our first offer for something like 9 or 10 months! One of the things I appreciated the most was that Jaclyn always called things as they were - if something wasn't quite right she would surface it clearly for us - this is so important when you are buying a property from out of state. When we were able to be in Gig Harbor in person, Jaclyn was also there for us as well -- and when we needed to be remote, Jaclyn was our "boots on the ground", and we made amazing progress via video tours and other technology assists. If you want to have a solid outcome on your property transaction, and it also matters to you that actions are done with a high regard to doing the right thing, you should reach out to Jaclyn.
Grant, thank you for your thoughtful review! It was such an honor helping your family find the perfect home and property here in Gig Harbor. Thrilled for you to experience life in the Harbor!
Fantastic experience: We had Jaclyn help us sell our house on the recommendation of a family member. To say we were happy with her services would be an understatement. She was an absolute professional from start to finish and such a nice and honest person to work with. This was the first time we had sold a house so we had a lot of questions and needed a lot of help! Jaclyn had answers for everything. Our house sold quickly and for more than we expected. This was in no small part due to Jaclyn’s direction and expertise. She will be our first call next time we sell or buy a house!
Leif, it was an honor helping you and Alishia sell your home in Gig Harbor! You two were so great to work with. I couldn't be more thrilled with our outcome.
Fantastic experience: It is not often you get the complete package in a realtor. How fortunate we were able to have Jaclyn list and market our home. She is a first-class act and is professional both in her work and appearance. She is creative, an excellent stager, tough negotiator, tenacious, a stickler for details, prompt, and fantastic at marketing. She handled other realtors with ease making sure to keep the negotiations positive and a win-win. She did not let us down and was on task to make sure all bases were covered. When it came to the buying process, her enthusiasm for finding us the perfect home was spot on. Jaclyn knew where we wanted to be for our next move and went as far as to mail out individual hand-written letters to owners in hopes that we would find something off-market. After a receptive seller engaged in our letter, she negotiated an offer on our dream property. A true win in this competitive market. Now thanks to Jaclyn, we are in our ideal location. Ultimately, Jaclyn is someone who takes a challenge head on and never takes no for an answer. She is in your corner, a trusted advisor and excellent listener to your specific home journey. If you hire Jaclyn, you will not be disappointed and enjoy the process!
I'll always love the story of how we found your home. A meant-to-be moment. Thank you for your trust in me to both list your home and find you your dream property. I will forever be grateful!
Fantastic experience: What a pleasure it was working with Jaclyn! You will not find a kinder, no nonsense, knowledgeable, hardworking real estate agent to work with. The home buying journey is emotional, with a variety of challenges to be encountered along the way (foreseen and not foreseen). Jaclyn worked diligently with us throughout the process, giving us great advice when we found ourselves making decisions outside our wheelhouse. Jaclyn has been in the real estate industry for decades, both as an agent but also as a builder/developer and lifelong learner in her family's business. I found her intuition to be spot on, and she knows the tips & tricks to successfully close a deal. I highly recommend working with Jaclyn! You will be very pleased with your home buying/selling journey if you do!
Kirsten, wow — such thoughtful words! Thank you for trusting me to help you and your family navigate purchasing a home. I couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome and many memories that will be made in your new home!
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn was the ideal agent when buying our house. She met with us to understand our goals and what we wanted to look for, found something that we loved, and was constantly checking in and doing everything she could to make the process as smooth as possible. Whenever we had questions she was quick to respond and help in any way we needed. Jaclyn is truly a gem in the real estate world and we will certainly work with her again and be referring her to anyone who is looking to buy and sell.
Thank you, Bjorn, for your review! Loved helping you and your family find your first home in Gig Harbor. It was an honor to be apart of the process!
Fantastic experience: There are few people in our world today who genuinely care for others — Jaclyn Harkson is one of those few. My wife and I were dreaming to get into our first home and Jaclyn made that dream come true. Not only did she work tirelessly and selflessly in each moment but she did it in the most dignified and devoted way that made us feel like family. Jaclyn made every effort to set us up for success. Leading us in poise and confidence in each step of the way. Being in one of the hottest markets in our area and beating out six other offers, Jaclyn got us into our dream home! She is brilliant, strong, selfless, will make you feel like family and stop at nothing to serve you and get the best for you. We could not be more thankful to Jaclyn and feel beyond blessed by the way she worked on our behalf. If you want to buy a home, sell a home, and feel at home during the process — there is no one better than Jaclyn Harkson!
Kramer, thank you for your kind words! It was such a gift helping you and Alyssa find your first home in Gig Harbor. I will never forget your face after I told you our offer was accepted over 6 other offers. Love that I had the opportunity to celebrate such a huge life milestone with you both!
Fantastic experience: My wife and I sold our first home while living abroad and were concerned about our ability to share how much the property meant to us, with buyers. Jaclyn was there to support us the entire way. Her vision of sharing our home made us feel involved and supported throughout the entire process. Ultimately, we rest easy knowing our first home is now in the hands of someone who will love and care for it just as we did, and we cannot thank Jaclyn enough for her leadership and involvement.
Thank you, Eric, for your trust in me as I helped sell your home while abroad! Each home has a story and I am thankful to have been a part of yours!
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn was incredible! She was with us every step of the way and helped guide us through a chaotic market. Even though we were undecided at times, she managed to keep us focused on our must haves. Being an out of state buyer presented challenges that Jaclyn made much, much easier. Her video walkthroughs and her honest narration made our decision making process much simpler. Great communication throughout! Fantastic agent with an exceptional network of supporting businesses to assist through the entire process.
What a gift to help you and Beth find your home in the Northwest! Thanks for trusting me to help guide you virtually out-of-state.
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn is wonderful! There are a ton of considerations and logistics when buying a home and Jaclyn made the process surprisingly easy, and enjoyable. We truly appreciated that she was always willing to show us properties (virtually or in-person), provided insight into neighborhoods and school districts, helped develop a strategy to write a competitive offer, and continued to be a fantastic resource through closing. Additionally, she is just a genuinely good person that you want to be around. I truly feel lucky having worked with Jaclyn.
What a gift to meet you and Zach and help your family find a home in Gig Harbor! Appreciate your kind words, Amanda, and excited for all the memories your family will hold in your new Northwest home!
Fantastic experience: If you're looking to buy a home in a competitive market, work with Jaclyn! We were house hunting from out of town and Jaclyn impressed us by doing virtual video house showings. She would always find time to do in-person showings when we were in town as well. She is a great communicator and walked us through every step of the process. When we were ready to write offers she had so much experience and great strategies for putting a strong and competitive offer on the table. She was 100% on our team and never pushy. She was thoughtful and kind and we would work with her to find our next home as well!
It was such a pleasure helping your sweet family move into the North End! Thank you for trusting me to guide you through the buying process!
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn is wonderful! We were first time buyers and she was very helpful in guiding us through the process and teaching us "the ropes" in the crazy Puget sound market. Always available, super flexible with showings and meetings, and helped us make a great offer that beat many others for a house we love. We can't recommend her enough!
Andrew, it was truly an honor to help you and Maggie find a home in the South Sound. A win beating out multiple offers. I couldn't imagine a more perfect home for you two!
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn is the best Realtor out there. Her deep knowledge and understanding of the market and attention to detail gave us an advantage in our home buying and selling. I appreciated her communication skills, she kept us on track and also kept us grounded through the process. If you are thinking about buying/selling a home I highly recommend meeting with her.
Ryan, thank you for your kind words! The feeling is mutual. I loved helping your family throughout both of the selling and buying processes. Such a success selling your North Tacoma home and relocating to Gig Harbor! Wishing you many, many years of happiness in the Harbor!
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn is excellent. She was recommended to my wife and I through my sister who had a great experience with her, and so did we. Of course it’s awesome she helped us get the house we love and now call home, but just as important was the positive, direct, honest way she carried herself from start to finish. Highly recommend if you want a confident professional alongside you.
Tj, thank you for your thoughtful words! Your story finding home will always be a favorite of mine. It was meant to be! Thanks for letting me be a part of it.
Fantastic experience: It was so wonderful working with Jaclyn. My husband and I were buying a home from the other side of the state with limited availability to see much in person, and Jaclyn was so flexible and accommodating working with us. She was willing to drop everything to get information for us and see homes on our behalf. She raised important questions, was knowledgeable about the areas we were looking, and was genuinely so excited to help us. When it came time to put in an offer, Jaclyn went to bat for us. She did everything she could to help us create the best possible offer and negotiate with the seller - we would not have had our offer accepted without her! I highly recommend working with Jaclyn, and will definitely be giving her a call whenever we may need her again.
Katie, I adore you and TJ! What an honor to help you two find a home on the west side. It was truly meant to be from the very beginning and the cherry on top to beat out 8 other offers! Thank you for your trust in me throughout the entire process. Welcome Home!
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn is the realtor you want on your side when buying a home. She is extremely knowledgeable about the greater Gig Harbor area, and will always have your back. Her passion for wanting to help people with big decisions is clear, and I never doubted putting my trust in her with everything about the home buying process. She is extremely personable, professional, and down to earth - but will also be firm and direct when needed. When we had trouble communicating with other parties involved in the transaction, Jaclyn immediately picked up the phone and started calling people to ensure everything was on track and that people were completing what needed to be done - which allowed us to still close on our scheduled date when it was close to being delayed. When making big life decisions you want to work with someone who is trustworthy and will always have your back with whatever you need - and it's no doubt that Jaclyn is that person.
Thank you for your kind review, Jake! I loved helping you and Kayla with your new construction home purchase in Gig Harbor. What a special spot and amazing equity already. We are so lucky to have you home in the Harbor!
Fantastic experience: 5 stars for Jaclyn! Jaclyn made our homebuying experience absolutely wonderful. She helped us buy our first home in a very competitive market and was so helpful throughout the entire process! Jaclyn took the time to really get to know us and know what we wanted in a home and she was spot on! We felt very taken care of throughout the process and confident Jaclyn had our best in mind. She is strategic, determined and being from the Harbor she really knows the market! She helped us put our best foot forward and now we live in the perfect little home!
Such thoughtful words! It was the honor of a lifetime helping you through the process to purchase your first home. Well worth the wait!
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn was able to find us the perfect home in this crazy sellers market! She took the time to figure out what we were looking for and made a point to always be on the lookout whenever something popped up. She was always very professional, and never pushed us to go for houses that didn’t fit our style. Being someone who isn’t from the area, Jaclyn was also an incredible resource for knowing all the desirable spots in the area. Her local connections gave us a leg up on the competition. Because of Jaclyn’s hard work and expertise, we were able to submit an offer that appealed to the sellers in more ways than just money. She’s everything you are looking for in a realtor; honest, responsive, hard working, and reliable. Will definitely be using her again down the road for our next purchase!
These are the kindest words! I absolutely loved helping you two find your dream home on Fox Island. Celebrating homeownership at the local tavern, Zogs, afterwards was the perfect end cap!
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn is absolutely amazing to work with. My husband and I were in the market to buy a home for quite some time and throughout the process, Jaclyn never lost her spunk, encouragement or motivation to help us find the perfect one!! Her willingness to show homes quickly and with short notice is something we valued and felt made her stand out. When our dream home went on the market, I called her and within 30 minutes of the home listing, she met me there to show me the home. TALK ABOUT SERVICE!!! When we decided to make an offer, we went up against 6 others and Jaclyn worked so hard to find out exactly what it would take to get us into this home and make our offer strong. She is diligent, hardworking, a go-getter, competitive and worked on our behalf. She felt like a partner to us in this process that can sometimes be so intimidating and stressful. She made it seamless, simple and FUN! We love Jaclyn!! Wouldn't have wanted to buy our home from anyone else!!
The sweetest words! It was worth the wait. I will never forget sharing the news "We got the house!" A memory I will hold onto forever and ever!!
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn was professional, persistent, and provided superior service behind our expectations. Her clear, thorough communication made it easy to trust that she'd the best person to find us our first home. We truly believe we wouldn't be in our home without her expertise, understanding of the market, and go getter attitude. Jaclyn gets the job done and will do that for any of her clients.
What a joy and privilege it was helping you two as first time homebuyers! Your trust in my guidance throughout the process was unparalleled. We battled against 8 other offers & I am so happy we landed you the most beautiful North End home!
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn was knowledgeable, responsive, supportive and patient. She was upfront with us, clear, and concise. At no point did we feel pressure or obligation with her. She was a pleasure to work with and will for sure use her again and recommend her to family and friends.
I loved helping you two in the process of becoming first time homeowners! Thank you for trusting me to guide you home.
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn is hands down the best realtor we could have chosen to work with! She made moving across country in the middle of a pandemic for my family and I seem effortless (yes…she’s that good). She made the process of buying our first home seamless. Not only is her knowledge about the local housing market top notch, but her knowledge about the Gig Harbor Community and all it has to offer is fantastic as well. It made my family and I not only excited for our first home but for the surrounding community too. She made our home buying experience perfect and she walked through every step of the way with us virtually! From video home tours, offer negotiations, inspection and closing she did it all with us via phone calls, texts and zoom calls. She was so quick to respond to any of our questions and concerns of being first time home owners as well. Finally, we cannot say enough good things about Jaclyn and the work she put in for us! After almost a year of owning our home we cannot be anymore thankful for how perfect things have been, all because she truly cares about each and every one of her clients.
Zach, it was the honor of a lifetime helping your sweet family move across the states to Gig Harbor! Thank you for trusting me to walk you through the entire buying process completely remote. I will never forget our final walkthrough seeing the looks on your faces as you went through the house for the first time!
Fantastic experience: Working with Jaclyn was a dream! We reached out to Jaclyn originally with very specific wishes for our future home... and she came through! She went above and beyond to help us secure an off market property, walking us through every step. She was willing to show up for inspections and other meetings we were unable to attend due to living out of town. If you are looking for a personable, hard working, knowledgable, and responsive realtor, then Jaclyn is your girl!
The feeling is mutual! Working with your family was such a treat and honor. I can't wait to see all the memories you make at your property for years to come!
Fantastic experience: It was a pleasure to work with Jaclyn on our recent home purchase. She is extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market in Gig Harbor. She walked us through everything from start to finish and took the time to check in on us and make sure everything was going smoothly for us throughout the process. Jaclyn listened to our specific needs and helped us find the perfect home, and even helped us successfully navigate a contingent sale in a highly competitive market! She also did a very detailed video tour for us as we were unable to tour in person! It was clear to see that Jaclyn cares deeply about her job and her clients and we would both highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home.
It was an absolute joy to help your family move home to Gig Harbor. Thank you for trusting me every step of the way!
Fantastic experience: I could never run out of good things to say about Jaclyn. She is simply an amazing realtor and does the best job. She is professional, relational, very responsive, and you can feel that she cares about helping you meet your needs. My husband and I trusted her completely and she helped us feel so confident in finding the right home for us- and we did! Jaclyn adds such a thoughtful and personal touch to the way she goes about her business, even after you've found the home. It meant so much to me when she showed up at our home with a little merry Christmas box! She isn't afraid of a challenge and will always go to bat for her clients. I would recommend her to anyone!
The kindest words! What a privilege helping you and Nick purchase your first home. You two were dreamy clients & I'm so thankful to have had the opportunity.
Fantastic experience: It was such a pleasure to work with Jaclyn recently as we bought our first home! Throughout the entire process, Jaclyn was simply the perfect blend of professional and personal touch! She uses her knowledge of the area and her careful attention to detail to note exactly what you are looking for and is committed to helping you find it! I loved how much she cheered us on through the process, keeping us excited about looking and helping us to trust that we'd find the perfect home for our family. On the professional side, she was always quick to respond to a text or email. She shared her knowledge and expertise as she walked us through the home buying process. She made the entire process so easy to navigate. I am beyond thankful for her compassion, care, and attention to detail. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to work with an incredible realtor in the Gig Harbor/Puget Sound area!
Keri! You are the sweetest! It was such a joy helping your family purchase your first home in Gig Harbor. A bonus was getting to play with your son, Ben, while he crawled all over the place during showings, inspections & our final walkthrough. The perfect home for the most darling family. Let the memories begin!
Fantastic experience: When we were looking for a home, Jaclyn made us her top priority and was determined to find us exactly we wanted. She gave us great advice from her experience as a broker and local experience that helped in every step of the home buying process. Jaclyn took the time to get to know us, and was able to find us an off-market home by word of mouth even though we were moving in from out of town! Jaclyn made every detail during the closing period simple and always kept us up to speed and notified. Her responses were always timely and she gave good reminders when needed. If we ever move, we will be using Jaclyn to sell our house.
I absolutely adore your family! Thank you for trusting me to guide you home to the Harbor. We are so lucky to have you all here.
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn is so amazing!!! This Lady is going places in this world. She really knows how to sell a house and get top dollar for it.. My husband and I feel like we won the lottery when we met Jaqulyn!! She was not only our amazing Realitor she has become a friend for life. Jaclyn started out by having us declutter and then had the whole house staged. Photos were next and then “WE WERE LIVE” 24 hours full price offer.. You can’t find anyone who knows her job inside and out and can make a house shine better than Jaclyn!!!!! We love you Lady…
This brought tears to my eyes! By far the best part about working with you and Rocky was forming a lifelong friendship. It was an honor bringing your waterfront home on Horsehead Bay to market. All your hard work paid off and it truly did shine. Forever thankful for the opportunity to represent you as you transition onto life's next adventure!
Fantastic experience: Our family was moving from Birmingham, AL to Gig Harbor and Jaclyn helped us navigate a competitive market with speed. Her responsiveness from across the country enabled us to move on our dream house just in time before the market soared and we were priced out. Super thankful for Jaclyn as our realtor and friend through what could be a super stressful time. Highly recommend!
Thank you, Andy! Such an honor helping your family relocate all the way from Alabama to our sweet harbor town. We are so lucky to have you here!
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn is the complete package and then more! She has incredible knowledge about all things related to buying a home, right down to construction, permitting, and septic systems. On top of all of that, she demonstrates a uniquely genuine concern for buyer outcomes. She is not one to sway a buyer toward a home that isn’t a good fit for them. She knows the Gig Harbor area very, very well. Her communication with us has always been positive, very efficient, and she listens!!! We are forever grateful for her.
Wow! Such thoughtful words. It was an honor helping your families find a multi-generational property in Gig Harbor. One of my most memorable key hand offs ever. We did it!
Fantastic experience: Jaclyn helped us find a dream property off-market, something we never would have found on our own. She was responsive, very professional and helped us with things not normally a realtor's responsibility to make sure we could make our dream a reality.
Thank you, Rylan, for your trust in me throughout this process! Truly one of the best pieces of property in Wollochet Bay. Excited for your family to move home to Gig Harbor. I can't wait to watch your dream home be built in the years to come!
Fantastic experience: As we began to search for a home, Jaclyn made it clear that it was a top priority of hers to know what exactly we were looking for. She gave us great advice from her experience as a broker and personal experience that helped in every step of the home buying process. Because Jaclyn took the time to get to know us, she was able to find us an off-market home by word of mouth and we couldn't have done this without her! We're now in our dream home because of Jaclyn. And can’t forget to mention, it was the easiest transaction and process we’ve ever had! Jaclyn was very on top of every detail during the closing period and always kept us up to speed and notified. She even answered our questions before we could ask them! Her responses were always very timely. Jaclyn wrapped up the process with such a nice housewarming welcome gift that you can't get from any other broker! Thanks, Jaclyn!
This is my why! It was such an honor finding your family your dream home here in Gig Harbor. I love watching your family grow and can't wait to see all the memories you make there. Thank you for letting me be apart of your story!
