My wife and I recently used the Jacobs Group to sell a condominium in Palatine IL. We were referred to Pam Jacobs by a current homeowner. After meeting Pam, we were impressed by her professionalism and knowledge of the Palatine area. After discussing our goals as sellers, Pam made several recommendations for improvements that she thought, as the realtor, would result in good traffic and interest, as well as a sense of urgency and ultimately a quick sale.The first weekend more than 20 showings were scheduled, resulting in multiple offers. With Pam’s recommendations, one of the offers was accepted and negotiations regarding several items were settled with mutual (buyer & seller) satisfaction.In addition, Tracy Covek, also of Jacobs Group, assisted us with document preparation and reminders of tasks to get done and when to get them done by, all very much appreciated.We both felt that the agents from the Jacobs Group had our best interest in mind. We would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

Tracy Covek was fantastic, providing enormous value at every part of the process of our home purchase in Lake Barrington, IL. We really appreciated her candid perspective and negotiation experience. She was proactively on top of every step and her communication was timely and exactly what we needed. Tracy was an absolute pleasure to work with and we could not be more pleased with our entire experience. Thank you Tracy!

We had a great experience selling our home in Inverness. Pam Jacobs was terrific. She had a very good understanding of the market in our area and brought a wealth of experience. She was on top of everything throughout the process. She and her partner, Tracy Covek made the process move along efficiently. They were very accessible at any time we needed. Also a big shout out and kudos to Dawn, who advised us on preparing our home for showings. We had a multitude of showings over a short period of time and Pam managed them smoothly. The marketing materials especially the hard cover illustrated book was wonderful. We can recommend the Jacobs Group of @properties with enthusiasm and have already done so with friends who are thinking about selling in the near future.

We had the distinct pleasure to work with Pam Jacobs and her team at The Jacobs Group. We are new to the area, and she assisted us in buying a house in Barrington Hills, IL.Pam’s experience in real estate and the Chicagoland area shows through immediately. Within a few short conversations, we felt that Pam understood our family’s needs and she promptly got to work.Pam was tireless, available, patient, fun to work with, and easily met every timeline set before her.Pam misses nothing. In our case, she pointed out multiple issues in several different properties that we had not noticed or considered that turned out to be very important to our decision-making process.Moreover, Pam was a tough, savvy negotiator who is calm and cool under pressure. She successfully negotiated for a fair market value on our home.Quite simply, there wasn’t one problem that she didn’t solve or help solve for us.Even after closing on our house, Pam has gone above and beyond by staying in contact and checking in on us to determine our satisfaction with our purchase, and even giving us recommendations on local businesses, restaurants and things to do.If you have real estate needs, do yourself a favor and call The Jacobs Group. We certainly have no regrets hiring Pam and The Jacobs Group, and she will be our first call if we need a real estate agent again.Bravo Jacobs Group!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with Pam Jacobs of The Jacobs Group! She is kind, patient, professional, and very knowledgeable on the Barrington/Deer Park area and the surrounding suburbs. Moving from the City of Chicago, and not being originally from Illinois, her local insight was especially helpful as we narrowed in on the perfect location to purchase a home.Throughout our search, Pam was honest with us about home values (she never wanted us to overpay) and what makes a house a good investment. She was always responsive and listened intently to what our wishes were - so much so, that she knew how we'd feel about a house even before we did! She always made us feel like we were a priority and never pressured us if something didn't feel right. We truly felt that she wanted us to find the house that was the best fit for our family.Pam's strong local network was invaluable. We were often able to see houses before they were listed, which was key in the current real estate market. When we finally found the house we were looking for, she seamlessly walked us through every aspect of the home buying process, even when we hit a few bumps in the road. With Pam on our side, we successfully closed on our dream house! If you're looking for a house in the Barrington/Deer Park area, I wouldn't hesitate to hire Pam Jacobs! I would work with her again in a heartbeat.Thank you to Pam, everyone at The Jacobs Group (Tracy Covek and Kris Kerkman), and Pam's unparalleled network of professionals (Mark Herrick of Angelina & Herrick, P.C.; All American Property Inspectors; Echo Home Inspection Inc.)!

The Jacobs Group, and Pam Jacobs especially, shine in a world that has forgotten the meaning of customer service. Pam took time with us to walk us through every aspect of listing and selling our house in Barrington, from an honest opinion about areas that should be updated/changed, to referring reliable professionals to do the work, to staging , showing and ultimately selling our home. Honest, reliable & trustworthy. Pam explains up front that the best real estate deals leave all parties feeling like they got a “win.” Love that philosophy!Being corporate nomads, we’ve had our share of moves. No one compares. The Jacobs Group is a concierge experience in a fast paced world.The Jacobs Group’s secret? They care.

Pam was amazing to work with! From the start Pam was very professional, honest, kind and extremely knowledgeable. As a first time home buyer I wasn’t sure what to expect. She answered all my questions and walked us through the entire process. Pam was great to communicate with and quick to schedule showings. She worked with our schedules and was flexible with her own to accommodate us. She was patient and showed us numerous houses until we found the right fit. Her experience and professional network is invaluable. Her team was also great to work with throughout the entire process. I would absolutely refer Pam in a heartbeat!

We've just bought a new home through Kris at the Jacobs Group who did an impeccable job the whole way through. What initially stood out about her is, prior to being ready to really look, I couldn't get past wanting to find an ideal home I'd seen years ago now that I could afford it. The agent I'd used prior brushed me off when I asked to track it down. Kris however, went on a mission spending hours upon hours (knowing I wasn't ready to look for another year) doing everything to find that house for me. While we never did track down that particular house, I decided to switch to her when we were ready to start looking a year later. So thankful I did as she was wonderful the whole way through ensuring we caught every home on the market, saw them immediately and made the right choices. After many tours, we decided on a home that needed work at a great price. Now I get to call the shots on how the house is designed and turn it into my actual dream home! Thank you Kris & team for everything!

Pam Jacobs and Tracy Covek of The Jacobs Group did a wonderful job selling our home. They helped us through every step of the way by giving us super advice, staging our home so that it showed beautifully, telling us the timelines of how things worked, since it had been a very long time since we sold a home. Thank you.

Pam was excellent to work with, from strategizing how best to sell our home, giving us a number of marketing options to consider, making the listing easy and continuing all the way through the final sale of the house. We felt very confident putting the sale of our home in the hands of Pam’s team with their proven success in our Lakeview neighborhood!

Pam was nothing short of amazing from the first moment I spoke with her when looking for a new home in Barrington. From our first phone conversation to the day of closing, she was professional, smart, kind, and knowledgeable. Within minutes of talking with her she provided guidance on the pros and cons of homes we had seen online. She helped us narrow down what area suited our need best and knew about listings that we did not. She was patient and diligently scheduled home tours so we could see as many homes as possible to suit our busy schedules. Additionally, as a mom of young kids, I was so very appreciative of listening to her experience of raising her own children in this great community. We were lucky to find a home we wanted quickly and once we did, wow did Pam impress us! She was diligent, consistent and thorough throughout the entire process - even when things got sticky during negotiations. We closed and got the home at the price we wanted thanks to Pam's assistance. You want Pam on your side. :) She, along with Tracy from her team, will treat you like family from day one. As I have shared with her many of times, she has changed our lives for the better and I will be forever grateful! I would refer Pam in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a qualified, smart, respectful and hard working realtor!

"Several years ago Pam and I held board positions together on a local charity I was able to witness her dedication, great attitude, caring personality and her very good communication skills as a board member. Pam is extremely knowledgeable about the real estate industry and the market she serves. I met with her to go over the plan and analysis to sell my home and felt The Jacobs Group was the ONE! I felt Pam really cared and wanted to do her best to help us sell our home in what could be a difficult market but she also had great confidence that it would get done! I couldn’t imagine working with any other team. If you choose the Jacobs Group you will be in excellent hands in all aspects of selling/buying a home. Thank you Pam and Tracy for all your hard work and dedication. Kim O'Neill
