ZillowVERIFIEDJake sold our house in South Shores, San Pedro. We were so impressed by his honesty, professionalism and enthusiasm; from preparing the house for sale up until Escrow, Jake seamlessly provided the support we needed. He attended every open house and private house showing, answering all our questions in a timely manner. Thank you Jake it was a pleasure to work with you and we recommend you 100%. Rob and Claire.

ZillowVERIFIEDBuying a home can be stressful, but Jake made the entire process smooth from start to finish. He was always on top of everything, communicated with us constantly, answered every question we had, and genuinely cared about helping us get into the right home. You can tell he truly cares about his clients and goes above and beyond. Professional, knowledgeable, honest, and hardworking. We couldnt have asked for a better realtor. If youre looking to buy or sell, Jake is absolutely the guy to call. Highly recommend!

ZillowVERIFIED10/10 A+ No notes! Jake represented us as both buyers and sellers and the entire process was incredibly smooth. We sold our first home in Long Beach and with his help purchased our beautiful new home in San Pedro with only a three-day buffer between transactions. The transition couldnt have worked out better. Everything was seamless and well-coordinated and thoughtful. We highly recommend Jake and his team!

ZillowVERIFIEDThis was my first home purchase and I'm grateful Jake was my agent. He was a patient, knowledgeable, gracious teacher. When it mattered most he pushed and questioned and executed. I could write a novel for how many times Jake exceeded my expectations. I suppose it's serendipitous that we met Jake at an open house, that wasn't his, in a city we knew nearly nothing about, and he got us our dream home. He's unquestionably a great agent!

ZillowVERIFIEDIf you are looking for a real estate agent from Long Beach to the South Bay, STOP!!! Jake is your professional. My wife and I had a very challenging purchase and to say Jake went above and beyond, is a gross understatement... If you look up customer service in the dictionary, Jake's picture is next to the meaning.... Absolute stud...

ZillowVERIFIEDJake made the process of buying a home easy; as a first time home buyer he took the time to ensure my wife and I were understood all the various documents we were signing, and was able to secure a price reduction!

ZillowVERIFIEDJake Sullivan is a "STAR" through and through! His commitment to excellence started with our initial phone call to the ending sale of our home. He was very personable and his professionalism allowed for a seamless experience. He listened to our concerns and needs as we prepared to sell our home and was very aware of all property transactions. His knowledge of market trends led to the sale of home over asking price. Jake is a STAR - he will work hard and will be invaluable to your sale or purchase of your next home.

ZillowVERIFIEDWorking with Jake has made buying a home fun and easy! My husband and I just recently purchased our forever home in San Pedro, thanks to Jake! With a baby on the way, he made the process as easy as possible. I never felt any stress but instead confidence that Jake was going to help us entirely through this process. Being a first time home buyer, I truly appreciated how thorough and resourceful he was. He was passionate, proactive and very organized. We cant thank him enough and we will be highly encouraging anyone we know to use him as their real estate agent

ZillowVERIFIEDWorking with Jake Sullivan was an excellent experience. From the first conversation, Jake seemed excited to discuss what I was looking for in a home. As a rational homebuyer, I had tons of questions throughout the entire home buying process. Jake took the time to answer my questions, my concerns, my needs and preferences for a new home. He is very knowledgeable, trustworthy, friendly and makes you feel comfortable during the process. He is a true professional, he was very involved throughout the process and made the process much easier. Jake's dedication, professionalism, and attention to detail are impeccable. I couldnt be happier with the whole experience.

ZillowVERIFIEDAs a first-time homebuyer who wasnt even actively looking, I expected the process to feel overwhelmingaEUR"but working with Jake made it completely seamless. He has this way of turning what could be a stressful experience into casual, easy conversations as if connecting over coffee. Hes approachable, understanding, and savvy to find opportunities you didnt even know you were looking for. It honestly felt like hanging out with a friend who is a real estate expert

ZillowVERIFIEDJake was absolutely great to work with. This was my first time buying a home, and he made learning the buying process very simple. Answered any question I could have. Always felt like he went above and beyond, always made time, always had the knowledge, and made buying my first home seem so easy. Great to work with and would recommend to anyone.

ZillowVERIFIEDJake is the best! I had the pleasure of working with Jake Sullivan in helping me find my home. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and responsive throughout the entire process. He has a deep understanding of the area, knows what to look out for, offered incredible guidance, and knew other great people to work with (lender, inspector, etc). I purchased my home in San Pedro, and I know many others that have worked with him throughout the South Bay area. I highly recommend Jake for your real estate adventure! He honestly made it stress free, and actually made it fun. Thank you Jake!

ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife and I are so grateful that we contacted Jake. He came highly recommended from other friends that had hired him to represent them. From the very first day, Jake was motivated to help us and made sure we were familiar with every step of this very important process. We got right to work. He took down in detail what we were looking for and we immediately started looking at homes together. Nothing in our process surprised us because he was constantly letting us know what was coming next and we were ahead of the game with all of the documents that were needed. Because of this, our process went quickly once we found a home and it gave us an edge. We never had an issue getting a hold of Jake. Jake answered every call when we needed him and throughout the process his communication was outstanding. Jake worked well with our lenders and made sure that we were all on the same team. We found a home and Jake negotiated on our behalf to get us the best deal. We were happy with the asking price and Jake still found ways to get the price down based on what he believed was fair. Jake works with his own inspection vendors and they were out immediately for him. (Which again, sped up our process) Jake found us a home that checked all of our boxes in a highly desirable area of town and still got us a fair price. Working with Jake was a peaceful process because he did all of the work and we are so happy that we contacted him. He still follows up to check in on our family. He went from our Agent to a friend in this process. 10/10 service. Highly recommend Jake to anyone looking to buy a home. On a side note, we referred him to family and 3 weeks later they have just closed on their first home. Thank you Jake. You have been a blessing.

ZillowVERIFIEDWorking with Jake Sullivan was an outstanding experience. His professionalism and deep understanding of the market were evident in every interaction. He guided us through the entire process with confidence, always staying ahead of the curve and ensuring that we made informed decisions. His expertise made the journey smooth and stress-free, and we couldnt have asked for a better partner in navigating the real estate market.

ZillowVERIFIEDJake went above and beyond for us and he was absolutely amazing during the whole home search process and then kicked it into over drive when we went to purchase. it was our first time purchasing a home and the detail Jake goes into to explain the process from top to bottom taking nearly all of the stress and worries off of our shoulders. he was in constant contact with us when a home hit the market that fit our wants and needs. once we summitted our offer he went to work setting up all things we needed to do in order to close in a timely manner right away. once our inspection came back he protected us by helping rectify issues we had. Jake was on it with our lender getting everything prepared so all we had to do was sign and we were set to go. I can say without a doubt if Jake wasn't our realtor we would still be blindly submitting offers with no sense of direction, we are truly grateful for Jake as he is a true professional and is great at what he does. I've been telling everyone i know if you want to buy or sell a home Jake is the guy to go with.

ZillowVERIFIEDThis was a second time working with Jake. 5 years ago I purchased a house with Jake and when it came time for me to move and I wanted to rent my house out, I trusted Jake. Entering the rental market was a bit of a daunting task, so many things I didn't know about, risks to learn and mitigate, and on top of that I had to move cross country in a bit of a rush with what felt like not enough time for transitioning out of the house. A problem that was only alleviated because I had Jake on my site. I was able to leave town, without my place rented out yet, knowing that my agent would have my back and everything would be taken care of. Jake kept me updated every step of the way as applications started coming in, answered every question of mine, was incredibly patient with my mannerisms and characteristics, and was completely professional to me the client and all who toured the place. For anything Los Angeles related, I would go to Jake 10 out of 10 times.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I were looking for our aEURoeforever homeaEUR? and hired Jake Sullivan as our Real Estate Agent. As we knew this would be our last home, Jake put up with a lot of location changes and even the type of home we wanted to buy and took it all in stride and with good humor. With Jakes expertise we found our new home and couldnt be happier. He not only found our home, he also negotiated down a selling price that the seller said was aEURoenon-negotiableaEUR?. Jake is not only an excellent and knowledgeable agent, but also a true gentleman who we now call a friend.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe highly recommend Jake Sullivan. We met him at the open house of the home we purchased. We appreciated that he was super knowledgeable about the property, the area and also what to expect as we were first time home buyers. We liked him so much that we asked him to represent us in purchasing the home -- he represented both the seller and the us, the buyers. Jake was always transparent, patient (we had A LOT of questions) and approachable. He went above and beyond by contacting 10+ chimney inspectors (apparently December is a busy time for chimneys) to ensure we would receive an accurate understanding of the state of the property before the closing. He also addressed another concern of ours and contacted friends of his to answer questions we had about the local schools before we made an offer. Through the purchasing process, he was timely and reliable on all the interactions with us. We highly recommend Jake as a real state agent in the South Bay!!

ZillowVERIFIEDIt is our pleasure to recommend Jake Sullivan from Berkshire Hathaway as a real estate agent for any individual or family searching for the ideal home for their unique situation. We worked with Jake as he sold our house in San Pedro in August 2022, because we decided to move out of state. Jake had an initial meeting with us and took diligent notes regarding our specific needs regarding selling my house, timing etc. He is highly talented technologically and made excellent use of his marketing skills and used social media very effectively to promote our home on line, and reach as many potential buyers with in a large geographical area, in and outside of San Pedro. A master with the contract negotiations and personal skills, Jake found a buyer very quickly and our house was sold. Throughout this home selling process, he was able to work with both the buyer and us, to agree to closing date and terms of sale that were beneficial to both. Jake is a highly attentive agent, almost as if we were his only customers, although we know that was not the case. He always returned all phone calls and emails the same day. We never felt neglected or unimportant. He is also highly personable with an engaging personality. Jake was honest about some minor changes that we needed to make to attract buyers quickly, and his advice worked like a charm. We are pleased to recommend Jake Sullivan to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He is hands down the best in the business in our opinion, and if we ever need to move again, he will be our first choice in real estate agents. Regards, Ed Gentile

ZillowVERIFIEDWe highly recommend Jake Sullivan. We sold our house (March-April 2022), and Jake was our listing agent. We had already moved out of California; so we had to sell our LA house remotely. Selling our house remotely presented a continental challenge. We are happy to report: Jake made it easy! Jake provided concierge level service. He collected multiple offers, presented a clear summary of our options, and handled all the tasks required to successfully close escrow. Jake sold our house quickly and got top price. Jake is a man of excellent character ~ loyal, intelligent, energetic. We recommended Jake to our son. Our son also sold his house with Jake. Our family deeply appreciates Jake.

ZillowVERIFIEDJake is the best realtor that I've ever had. He's honest, incredibly intelligent, patient, and kind. He never pressured us - even though it took us nearly a year to find a home. From begin to end to after the transaction, he's come through for us. I had questions about electric and he called Edison for me. When I was wondering about expanding a pool, he called around until he got an answer. He even climbed into the attic of our prospective home in his dress clothes to take pictures when I was having late night anxiety about a mold issue. That's going above and beyond! The next time I buy/sell in this area, I wouldn't consider calling anyone but Jake.

ZillowVERIFIEDAs a first time home buyer, Jake Sullivan was amazing to work with. We were nervous about the whole home buying process, and Jake made it a very easy. As our first realtor we did not know what to expect and what kind of realtor he would be with all our questions and concerns. I honestly can say that both my husband and I could not be any happier as we were with him. He was very professional, very friendly and very patient with us. He took the time to explain things we were confused on, he was prompt to respond any time we needed him and was always following up or checking on us, on how we felt about any houses we were looking at. What impressed me the most was how informed he was in letting us know any updates or information we needed in getting our new home. We highly recommend him for anyone looking for a new home.

ZillowVERIFIEDAs a first time homebuyer, I was nervous and apprehensive about the home buying process. Jake walked me through the process step by step before we even began looking for houses so that I had a foundation of knowledge prior to looking. We discussed my goals and what I was looking for in a home, and provided me with different options based on what I was looking for. He was extremely knowledgeable and explained things in a way that was easy to understand. He was patient, flexible with his time, and always available if I had any questions. Jake advocates for his clients and had their best interest every step of the way. There is no one I would have trusted more to help me find the perfect home.

ZillowVERIFIEDJake was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process of buying a house. I used to think that all realtors were shady sales people you could not trust, but Jake proved me wrong. He always provided me with honest information allowing me to make my own decisions and I could not be happier with the home I ended up with.

ZillowVERIFIEDI have worked with Jake for 4 years now. I was a first time home buyer just dipping my feet in the real estate world. Jake worked with me from the beginning to the end. As a first time home buyer I was very nervous and scared of the idea of making such a big commitment and purchase. As I built up the savings and courage for my first home, Jake was there every step of the way. He is very knowledgeable about all aspects of his line of work. From breaking down ways to achieve your dream home, to walking you through every step of escrow. He will always have your back and will never try to schmooze you into an uncomfortable purchase. Even through COVID he was extremely cautious and up to date on all rules and regulations. I would recommend him to anyone looking in the housing market or even income property. I will use Jake again for I was extremely satisfied after we closed.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy recent experience in buying and selling a condo has been wonderful! I just sold my condo and bought a new one. The timing of Escrow closing for both were perfect and this all went very through smoothly. This is all thanks to Jake Sullivan. He is very professional, knowledgable, detail oriented and thoughtful. He is always on time (or early), very courteous, and handles matters promptly. (Examples) During this process of both selling and buying a home, somtimes I was unsure of what needed to be done. But, Jake provided me with good advice to help. I would defininately recommend Jake Sullivan to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

ZillowVERIFIEDJake is a godsend! I came into the home purchasing process with a lot of fear but Jake's ability to calm and reassure me made it possible for us to take this leap together. Not only is he a nice, reassuring guy, but he also knows his stuff. He worked in escrow before being a real estate agent and really knew the ins and outs of the process. He is quick to respond to questions, eager to show new properties and really went the extra mile for us. I never felt pressured by him. He negotiated to get us all of the contingencies that we wanted and wouldn't back down when the seller tried to pull a fast one. Now we are in an awesome home and we couldn't have done it without him. I highly recommend him, especially if you are a first time home buyer.

ZillowVERIFIEDJake Sullivan was my Real Estate Agent and represented me on the sale of my property in the Los Angeles Area. He was able to support me through this very emotional process as well as provide me with the answers to an infinite number of questions regarding the sale of my property. He was able to effectively market the property for sale and obtain a full-price offer all within less than a week of being on the market! Jake did an amazing job. I was so impressed with Jake's knowledge, not only in regards to real estate but in title and escrow as well. It was such a pleasure to work with Jake on my sale, and with his wealth of knowledge, professionalism, wonderful personality and his dedication to his clients. I know that you will be just as pleased as I was with his real estate services. I would most definitely recommend anyone looking to buy or sell a property to contact Jake for an interview...which I just know you will hire him. Jake is the best in the real estate business! Thank you Jake!

ZillowVERIFIEDAfter looking for months for a descent house in a descent area, at a reasonable price for my family, and not finding it, I was starting to feel frustrated. Lucky me that a good realtor, that I knew from a different city happened to know Jake. She referred me to him. Jake made contact with me right away and things began changing for good from that moment on. He listened to me kindly from the very first conversation. He started to get me good options right away. He never tried to lower my expectations, as many other realtors tend to do to try to lower "your guard" to close the deal quickly. Instead he would just listen patiently and keep looking for the perfect fit. After a very short period of time he was able to find the perfect house for my family expectations. He made the whole deal closing process smooth and easy. Today, after one year, my family and I are so grateful to be in this house. Thank you Jake for your professional and friendly way to manage your customers. You are first class!

ZillowVERIFIEDI have known Jake for a long time. As a first time home buyer it was important to me to go with someone I know and trust as much as Jake. To be completely honest, the process started about a year prior to my purchase. I had been saving money with hopes of buying my first property but wasnt near ready yet. Jake and I were at at barbecue and as we were talking I told him my goals and right then and there he began giving me the strategic advice on what I should be doing a year in advance to prove my credit worthiness etc. Jake was really smart to walk me through the process early enough that we got a pre approval about 9 months or so before I found the perfect opportunity to buy. It was a strategic investment focus the entire way and due to Jakes guidance and our teamwork, I was able to pounce on an amazing opportunity when it presented itself. Jakes negotiation skills with the seller really left me confident I got a good deal. Getting a house for under asking in this market is pretty rare but with Jakes local knowledge and negotiating, I came away with a steal. Not to mention, he also helped the seller and his agent figure out how to do their jobs. I cant tell you how many times Jake saved the day on this deal. I'm really happy I consulted Jake on this goal and that we build a game plan and executed it. At my age, I wouldnt have been comfortable doing this process with anyone else. The level of service was key in executing this amazing deal I came away with.
