The buyers do not come knocking at my door right?

That sounds awful! Start by reaching out to your local expert Realtors. Great Realtors WILL reach out to you and follow up- you definitely don't want a Realtor that leaves you alone, good luck finding them when you need them. If you fill out a form on-line, your information is going to be Sold to every Realtor that's willing to pay for your information, so keep that in mind. Do your research, read reviews and call each Agent to speak with them or their assistant directly.

How can I buy a house with no money down I am a senior citizen

Hi Vernon, You should speak with a local Mortgage Broker, and speak with at least 3 of them. I always recommend speaking with at least 3 of them. There may be programs available to you. Jessica Sauls, Realtor Memory Lane Property Group

Are there down payment assistance programs for first-time buyers?

Hi Charles! There are Federal Grants, such as the FHLB Grant. The first thing you should do is speak to at least 3 local lenders. Different lenders have different options. Your lender can recommend lenders to you, or you could do some research on your own based on reviews and stats. Speaking to local realtors might be the easiest solution though, they know who carries the best products for your personal situation. Best of luck! Jessica Sauls, Realtor and Owner Memory Lane Property Group

That's a great question, Sophia! I don't know how comfortable you are with it if you're asking, though. While most of the time, it is perfectly legal depending on the state you're purchasing in, it's only ok if you're comfortable moving forward. Do you feel like that Agent has your best interest in mind? I have a great friend that is an amazing Realtor and Advocate in Tempe, AZ. Chelsea Anderson. 602-748-6136. If you want a second opinion or are looking for a great Realtor, she's a great place to start! Jessica Sauls, Realtor and Owner Memory Lane Property Group

Agent want me to pay for professional cleaning before photos

Hi Veronica, It's never easy for a Realtor to tell someone that their house has a smell to it. It doesn't mean that your house smells bad, but that Agent is out with a lot of Buyers on a regular basis. They know when a house smells like anything a Buyer will comment on it and it will sway their decision. I can tell you from experience, I have had many Buyers complain about the smell of curry- one of my favorite ingredients. I know the smell won't last, and I'll feel irritated and hungry when I leave that showing- because that could be the right house for them and they couldn't get past the smell! It's our job to make sure that our Clients are in the very best position to sell their home for top dollar. And sometimes that means telling them something that they don't want to hear. Smells will keep buyers away. If and when that happens, Sellers will lose money. Ozone machines work great when removing smells from homes. Best of luck to you! Jessica Sauls, Realtor and Owner Memory Lane Property Group

Seller want to stay in house after i buy?

Hi Em! This is a very common request from Sellers. A lot of Sellers need to Sell their home before they purchase the next home so they can be in a stronger position to buy. This is a very personal choice, and you need to talk to your Agent about all of your options. Can you extend the settlement date, rather than rent to them? What kind of deposit will the Seller have? Are they paying rent? Or are you in a multiple offer situation and you really want the house so you are willing to give them 30 days for free to win the contract? These are just some of the questions that you should go over with your Realtor. It's not necessarily a bad idea, but if you're uncomfortable with it, you should ask some more questions and get some more clarity around it. Your Realtor is the best resource for that. Best, Jessica Sauls, Realtor and Owner Memory Lane Property Group

I am 72. Can I still buy a house?

Hi Rose, You can absolutely still purchase a home at 72! You have so many options to purchase, including a Reverse for Purchase Option! The first thing you should do is speak to a local Realtor that is has an SRES designation. They can help you find the right lender that can go over ALL of your options. That way you are informed on each loan type available to you and you can make the right decision for you based on your needs and wants. I just had a Buyer settle on her first home at 78. She used a Reverse for Purchase loan, put 38% down and she will never pay a payment. What was really great about the home she purchased was that it had an in-law suite with a separate entrance for a live-on caretaker for her if she were to ever need someone. Right now, she rents it out and the tenant cares for the lawn and exterior maintenance for her. You can have up to 3 units with a reverse mortgage. Reverse Mortgages aren't your only option of course, but it is one option that works great for a lot of Buyers. Best of luck to you! Jessica Sauls, Realtor and Owner Memory Lane Property Group

Buying house with 'unpermitted' basement bedroom

Hi Maggie! I would call the local zoning office and ask. Sometimes it was perfectly fine when the Seller completed the work and it will be grandfathered in. I have sold many just like that. I ALWAYS call zoning to check though. If it wasn't permitted and it wasn't grandfathered in, then it could mean some serious fines and work to get it to where the county/city requires it to be. Best of luck! Jessica Sauls, Realtor and Owner Memory Lane Property Group Serving Maryland and South Central PA

What should I know about 55+ communities?

Hi Judy! This is actually one of my favorite questions! I have a lot of Buyers come to me that are worried about purchasing in a 55+ community for all sorts of reasons. Here are some of the things that I have found: The Buyers that were worried about their kids found that a lot of their kids felt relieved with their parents in a 55+ Community. There was less maintenance for their kids to help with. No shoveling the snow, no replacing the roof, windows, siding, etc. (Depending on the community of course) Their parents were free to do just about anything that they wanted! When they didn't have to worry about the exterior maintenance of their homes, the parents were free to travel and do whatever they wanted. Their parents had a whole new community with new friends and activities. Community Gardens, poker games, shopping trips to New York (big deal for our Rural Community), golf, pickle ball. The list goes on for days. Resale is about the same for 55+ in our area, but you should definitely check with a local Agent (preferably one that has an SRES Certification) that can show you your local trends and resale history for the communities that you are interested in. The fees usually cover your master-in policy for insurance and most exterior maintenance. However, all communities are different, so be sure to check with your Agent and read the bylaws and agreements with the HOA/COA. Uploading them to ChatGPT or another AI can help give you a good summary, but still not as great as reading them yourself. I would recommend having your agent take you to all of your options. You're going to want to make a move that fits your goals, and your goals should include your financial and lifestyle goals. I wish you the very best with your next move! Jessica Sauls, Realtor and Owner Memory Lane Property Group Serving Maryland and South Central Pennsylvania

Can a broker decide to drop a seller because her agent has too many listings and also a four yr old

Hi Donna, It sounds like you're really going through it, and like it's not a great fit. It's probably best to speak with an attorney to go over everything in your contract.

Is it a bad idea to sell my house after only living in it for three years?

Hi James! You probably have some equity after 3 years! I would suggest reaching out to a local expert, like Tiffany Fykes, and have her/her team run comps for you. They can also give you an estimate on what you'll make at the time of sale. Jessica Sauls, Realtor and Owner Memory Lane Property Group Serving Maryland and South Central Pennsylvania

Can I switch mortgage lenders right before closing if I find a better rate?

Hi Elizabeth, You can technically switch lenders as long as you don't delay closing and your contract allows it. Have you spoken to your Realtor about it? 3 weeks is normally plenty of time to close. Jessica Sauls, Realtor and Owner Memory Lane Property Group

How do I choose between a local mortgage broker and a large national bank for my first home loan?

Hi Olga! I would ask your national lender if they can run you through Underwriting before you even make an offer. An underwritten approval can close faster and looks better to a Seller. You can also ask you national lender to call the listing agent and email them, let them know that they are available if they need anything and give them their personal cell. As Agents, we have all had experiences with a lender or 5 that fell short, but at the end of the day, we work with people. If your Lender is willing and able to reach out and advocate on your behalf, then you should have no problem. Best of luck! Jessica Sauls, Realtor and Owner Memory Lane Property Group Serving Maryland and South Central Pennsylvania

what are the steps in selling my home AS IS?

Hi CT! The first thing you should do is research your local Realtors. You might be able to find one that wants to purchase your property themselves and rehab it to put it up for resale later. That would help you eliminate the 1000 calls around the clock. Some Sellers prefer a quick and easy cash sale. Others want to put their home on the market to see how much they can get for it. At the end of the day, it's not about anyone but you. What works best for you? Best of luck! Jessica Sauls, Realtor and Owner Memory Lane Property Group Serving Maryland and South Central Pennsylvania

Do I really need to paint and stage?

Hi Peggy! It might be a hot market, but your Agent definitely isn't trying to just make her job easier. She's telling you what you need to do to earn top dollar for your home. Most Agents are working with Buyers and Sellers. They see and hear first hand what Buyers in your area are looking for. They're basing their recommendations off of data. You don't have to do anything. However, if someone told me that I would make more money and sell my home faster, I would grab my tupperware bins and start packing up my "clutter", lord knows I've accumulated my fair share of it! It happens to the best of us! I can also tell you that Selling the home quickly isn't the hard part for most agents. Pricing it right and making sure it's market ready means it will go under contract. The hard part getting the transaction to settlement avoiding any major roadblocks along the way. And if and when they do come up, handling them with professionalism, bringing solutions and protecting your best interest- that's what your agent is working hard for. I wish you an excellent move! Jessica Sauls, Realtor and Owner Memory Lane Property Group

What are the signs that it's a good time to sell my house?

Hi Peter! I love this question! If I was thinking about selling, and not sure when to list, I would first make sure that my home was ready to list at any given moment. You should already have your Realtor in place with an excellent marketing campaign and drive to work hard for your sale! Know your price range, your Realtor will go over the Comps with you. Then, go find Open Houses in your price range. Are they busy? Dead? What's the condition of the home? Is it overpriced? You can also reach out to some local lenders. What have their application rates been over the past 30 days? You can't possibly time the market. But you can gage local activity based on statics, data and what you can see by just going out and visiting open houses. Enjoy the process! Jess

Should I sell my home before buying a new one?

Hi Renee, Selling your home first will definitely give you an advantage in several ways. However, a lot of Sellers - especially families, find it much easier to move first and then sell. I have a lot of people use a Bridge Loan for this. The Bridge loan allows my Sellers to use the equity in their home to purchase their next home. They move in, leaving me with an empty home to stage and sell, sometimes to fix up as well depending on what's needed. It's a lot easier to refinish hardwood floors and paint when the house is vacant. I would speak with a Realtor and several local lenders to learn about your options. Moving is already a stressful process, the more information and options you have, the better decisions you can make. Jess

Do appliances come with a home when you buy it?

Hi Min! It's very different state to state. I find that a lot of my Clients that move to Maryland from the South come with their own washer and dryer! A lot of them have told me that they even need to provide their own washer and dryer in rentals. Maryland is one of those states where the appliances (all of them) stay most of the time. I also work in Pennsylvania, where it is not assumed that the appliances stay and if the Buyer wants them we write it into the contract. Maryland has an inclusions addendum that we use for every sale that tells the Buyers what stays and what goes. Reach out to your agent so they can explain the best way to determine which houses come with the appliances. Best, Jess

Can I get a mortgage with only 3% down if I have a strong income but low savings?

Hi Zofia, I would check with at least 3 local lenders recommended by your Realtor. Not only are there 3% down Conventional products, but most states have first time buyer programs that help with down payment, lower interest rates, grants and/or other great programs to help get you into a home. Especially in high-cost areas like Seattle. Best, Jess

Is there a way to finance a multigenerational home purchase before my parents' current house sells?

Hi Yvette! Yes! This is definitely something that you might be able to do with the right lender. And it sounds like an amazing opportunity for you all! Many Lenders offer Bridge Loan options. This is not the same as recasting your loan when the house sells, so if a lender only offers that- then they more than likely don't carry a bridge. Best of luck to you all!

Jessica Sauls

Q: 1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?

Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make, so my advice is to start with clarity and preparation. Get fully pre-approved (not just pre-qualified), understand your true budget, and define what matters most, like location, lifestyle, and long-term goals. I'm always happy to make an introduction to a lender that will fit your specific needs. In today’s market, it’s not just about finding a home, it’s about having the right strategy to win it. That means understanding local market conditions, knowing how to structure a strong offer, and having an agent who can guide you through inspections, negotiations, and potential hurdles before they become problems. It's our job to help you spot issues before you pay for a home inspection, negotiate the best deal possible and keep you informed every step of the way. A well informed Buyer can make the best decisions for themselves. It's our job to answer the questions that you didn't even think to ask. Most importantly, don’t rush. But also be ready to move with confidence when the right home comes along. The right guidance makes all the difference.

Q: 2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?

The biggest mistake I see sellers make is underestimating the importance of preparation. The homes that sell the fastest and for the most money are the ones that are thoughtfully prepared before they ever hit the market. That means strategic updates, decluttering, and creating a clean, modern, and neutral space that appeals to today’s buyers. Pricing is also critical. You don’t “test the market,” you position your home to create demand from day one. I guide my sellers through every step of this process, including recommending improvements and even offering options to complete repairs or upgrades upfront, with payment deferred until closing. When done right, selling a home isn’t stressful, it’s a very strategic and rewarding process.

Q: 3. What types of clients have you worked with?

I’ve had the privilege of working with thousands of clients over the years, including first-time homebuyers, move-up buyers, luxury clients, investors, families for estate sales, and those downsizing or relocating. I’m a certified Military Relocation Specialist, so I frequently help military families navigate moves in and out of the area. I'm also a Seniors Real Estate Specialist, so helping people navigate the challenging world of downsizing is one of the things we do best! Because of the volume and variety of transactions I’ve handled, I’m very comfortable navigating complex situations. Whether that’s tight timelines, contingent sales, unique properties, or shifting market conditions. Every client’s situation is different, and I tailor my approach to meet their specific goals.

Q: 4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?

I recently sold a home for a woman who found herself in a rehab facility after a terrible fall. She could not go back to her home, and would be moving to an assisted living center after leaving the rehab. She asked me to go out to her home and evaluate it, she expressed how embarrassed she was of the mess. I went out and came back to her with an estimate of what the home is worth as-is, and what it would be worth if we were to put some money into it. We came up with a plan and she agreed to have me cover the cost and execute the renovation for her. My crews got to work, and in 3 weeks we had her home packed and emptied, new flooring, fresh paint, updated bathrooms, repairs made and staged. We went live, held 2 open houses, and 22 showings. Just 3 days after listing I had multiple offers for her home. She was so thrilled with everything. Not only did she make about $75,000 more for her home than she expected, it allowed her to move to the assisted living community she really wanted. It's never about the commissions. It's about the people we get the opportunity to serve. It's about the relationships we make. It fills me with gratitude every single day.

Q: 5. How did you get started in Real Estate?

I got started in real estate at 19 years old while I was working toward a degree in social work. At the time, I was working in property management part time and as a case manager in an adult mental health facility full time. I had just purchased my first home right before turning 19, and I remember feeling like I still didn’t fully understand the process. Even after going through it myself. That experience is what led me to take my first real estate class. The early years were slow, and life quickly became more demanding. I was a young mom with a child who had significant medical needs, and I needed a way to build a career that allowed me to be present while she received the care she needed to survive. That’s when I made the decision to truly go all in on real estate and build something of my own. I focused on creating systems that kept my clients consistently informed, developing marketing strategies that helped homes stand out, and building a business that allowed me to serve at a high level while still being there for my family during an incredibly challenging time. Over time, that grew into a deep passion. Not just for helping clients buy and sell homes, but for truly guiding them through the process with confidence and clarity. Since then, I’ve sold thousands of homes and navigated multiple market shifts, which has given me a strong foundation and perspective that I bring to every client I work with today. My focus now is simple: deliver a high level of service, strong strategy, and a smooth, well-managed experience from start to finish no matter the market conditions.

Q: 6. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?

I have trained and continue to train with some of the very best Realtors all over the world. Education is a passion of mine. My Certifications: Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®) Seller Representative Specialist (SRS) Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES®) Military Relocation Professional (MRP) Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE) Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA)

About Jessica Sauls

I'm Jessica Sauls, owner of Memory Lane Property Group at The KW Collective and an experienced listing and buyer's agent based in Westminster, Maryland. I believe buying or selling a home is about so much more than real estate, it's about helping people move into the next chapter of their lives with the information and strategy they need.

For more than two decades, I've studied not only how homes sell, but why they sell. Understanding buyer behavior, pricing strategy, home preparation, negotiation, and local market trends allows me to help my clients make informed decisions in every type of market.

Since becoming a licensed Realtor in 2003, I've had the privilege of helping thousands of buyers, sellers, investors, and families successfully navigate the Carroll County, Central Maryland, and Southern Pennsylvania market during some of life's biggest transitions. Whether it's purchasing a first home, preparing a beloved family home for sale, downsizing after retirement, settling an estate, or building long term wealth through real estate investing, my goal has always been the same. My goal is to educate, advocate, and help my clients make confident decisions they'll feel good about long after closing.

One of the greatest blessings of my career is working alongside my husband and best friend, Brian. Together, we've built Memory Lane Property Group on the belief that every client deserves honest advice, exceptional service, and a thoughtful plan tailored to their unique goals. Brian's construction background, combined with my experience in pricing strategy, marketing, and negotiation, allows us to help homeowners maximize the value of their homes before they ever reach the market. Together, we help clients see both the financial and physical side of every home, allowing them to make more informed decisions whether they're buying, selling, or investing.

I also represent buyers purchasing new construction and land in Carroll County, helping them evaluate homesites, builders, costs, contracts and long-term resale considerations.

Years ago, we noticed that many homeowners knew exactly what improvements would help them sell for more, but simply didn't have the funds to complete them before moving. Rather than watching our Clients leave equity behind, we intentionally began saving our own money so we could help clients prepare their homes for sale and allow many of those costs to be repaid at closing. It's one of the ways we're able to remove obstacles and help our clients achieve the strongest possible results.

Outside of real estate, we're farm owners, parents, investors, and proud members of the Carroll County community. Those roles have shaped the way I serve my clients. I understand that a home is far more than a financial investment, it's where families grow, traditions begin, milestones are celebrated, and memories are made. Having personally helped family members, friends and clients through estate sales, downsizing, relocation, and other major life transitions, I know these decisions are deeply personal and deserve compassion as much as expertise.

Giving back has always been one of the most meaningful parts of my work. Whether supporting local charities, mentoring other real estate professionals, investing in our community, or simply being there when a family needs guidance, I believe success is measured not only by the homes we sell, but by the positive impact we leave on the people and communities we serve.

I don't measure success by the number of homes I sell. I measure it by the impact we've made, the legacy we're creating and the number of clients who trust me enough to call again, refer a friend, or invite me back years later when it's time for their next chapter.

If you're looking for a Realtor who will treat your goals like they're my own, provide honest guidance, communicate openly, and help you move forward with confidence, I'd be honored to help.

What's better to take an equity loan out on the house I own and buy another house and then move or t

Home Equity Lines are great options for some, but not always the best course of action. They're definitely not your only option. I would highly suggest for you to speak with a local Realtor and ask them who their top lenders are. Go over ALL of your options with each lender, and make sure you speak with at least 3. Not all banks carry the same products. Then bring those options to a financial advisor if needed. The best option is going to be the one that is right for your personal budget, credit score, timeline and comfort.

Is spring actually the best time to sell a house, or should I list it this winter?

Hi! I'm a Realtor in Maryland, we can have some harsh winters, but probably not as snowy. I do personally have great turnouts for our Open Houses, especially in the winter. We have a lot of people stationed here, so turnover happens year round for us. Winter Buyers are serious buyers. They are the ones that have to move and are willing to pay a fair price to get into a home. I would reach out to your top local realtors and ask them what the trends are, ask them for the data that backs it up- not personal opinions. They should have no problem bringing local trends and reports based on the past 3 years of data.

Should we wait for mortgage rates to drop before selling our current home?

That's such a common concern right now, especially for families who locked in those ultra low rates a few years ago. The good news is: a low interest rate does not automatically mean you should stay put if your home no longer fits your life. Buyer demand is definitely different than it was in 2021"2022, but well-priced homes in desirable areas are still selling, especially homes that are move-in ready and appropriately updated. Inventory is still relatively tight in many markets, which continues to support sellers even with rates in the 6% range. What we're seeing nationally is a more " normalaEUR? market: Buyers are more cautious. Homes can take a little longer to sell. Pricing strategy matters much more. But serious buyers are absolutely still purchasing homes every day. In fact, many growing families are making the same decision you're considering right now: they're realizing that staying in a house that no longer works for them just to keep a low rate may cost them more in stress, space limitations, or missed opportunities over time. What we are seeing LOCALLY, in Maryland, is very different depending on the location. Some homes are selling in 3 days or less with multiple offers. Especially in the $400-$500,000 price range. The bigger question usually isn't: " Will buyers still buy our home?aEUR? It's: " Does the payment difference to move make sense for our long-term lifestyle and goals?aEUR? Here's the thing. If your home is prepared to sell for your market and priced correctly for your market, the house WILL sell. If interest rates drop, you're going to spend a lot more on a house because you're going to be fighting off every Tom, Dick and Harry who also waited for interest rates to drop - rather than just refinancing. No one can predict the market. But you can take control of your situation right now and do what fits you, your budget and your lifestyle.

Should I sell my aging house as-is right now or wait until I can afford to update it?

This is a great question! I work with a lot of sellers that think that they will get top dollar if they completely renovate the home. And some will. However, a complete renovation might cost you more than you will get back. So then the question is, do you update the home and live there to enjoy it? Or are you just updating it to fit what you think are trends, only to realize that they are outdated by the time you finish everything and you're ready to sell? Was it worth the time and money? You're very best resource right now is your top local Realtor. Preferably one that knows the costs of improvements like the back of their hand. One thing I offer to my clients is a 3 stage summary of how much money they should expect to make on their home based off of the market right now. I run those numbers so they can see what they will make if they put absolutely nothing into the house (except a good cleaning, no one is off the hook for that!), if they invest $10-$20,000 into improvements and what they would expect if they do a complete rehab. I price out everything so they can see the actual numbers and then make a decision based on what is best for them and their return. I also have a pay it back program, this is when my Sellers need to make some repairs and renovations and we go in and get them all done. Paint, flooring, kitchens, bathrooms, roof, windows, etc. I pay for the repairs and updates and then my Sellers pay me back when the house settles. It works out great for everyone. They don't have to pay anything upfront and they make a substantial amount more on their home. I keep my guys busy and get referrals from my Clients. Win - Win! You probably have someone local that do that as well!

Hi Annie! You should have no problem selling your home to your son! In Maryland, we use Title Attorneys to transfer the sale. You may need an escrow attorney. I would start there.

We truly couldnt recommend Jess and her team more! The home-buying process naturally had its ups and downs, but every challenge we encountered came from other parts of the process aEUR" never from Jess and her team. No matter what came up, Jess and Christina were immediately there to ask questions, advocate for us, problem-solve, and do everything they could to resolve any concern. When we wanted to see a house, Jess or Gina made it happen within hours. When we were ready to submit an offer, it was done in less than 24 hours, complete with a detailed explanation of comparable homes in the area and thoughtful recommendations to help us make the strongest offer possible. Any time we had a question, we received a thorough response aEUR" even when it technically wasnt their responsibility, they didnt immediately know the answer, it was outside normal business hours, or the situation was extremely time-sensitive. They never just said, aEURoeThats not our part.aEUR? They helped us figure it out. We could honestly go on and on about how amazing Jess, Christina, Gina, and the entire team were throughout this process aEUR" and even after closing. They made us feel supported, advocated for, and genuinely cared about from beginning to end. We are forever grateful to them for helping us find and purchase our dream home.

Jessica and her team went above and beyond for us to sell our home. They walked us through the process and were transparent from the very start. I know I'm a difficult person to work with, but Jessica, Mary and Christina never made me feel like I was a bother to them. They were kind and highly knowledgeable. We would use her again! 100/10 recommend!

We recently completed the purchase of a home. We started looking in November and settled in late March. The real estate market was characterized by high prices, high interest rates, and several sketchy home remodelers. Thankfully, we had Jess and her team, Christina and Mary, working for us. Jess and her team have been involved in real estate sales for quite a while. Their expertise and enthusiasm were very helpful in our search. We, like many buyers, had to refine what type of purchase we were looking for. Jess and her team were always willing to meet with us and take us to showings. We started looking for a townhouse, then realized a single family would suit us better. Their patience and guidance as we explored several areas kept us focused without stress to make offers. After dealing with untrained sellers agents, greedy sellers, and crooked home flippers, we found an older home that seemed to fit. On Jesss suggestion, we had the sewer line inspected and found that it was cracked. But the sellers came through and had the repair done. That saved us at least $9K. Jess and her team earned the highest recommendation from our family. They are great to work with because they are always trying to make both buyer and seller happy in the transaction. We would definitely use them again if we are ever in need of a realtor.

Jessica and her team were magnificent! My wife and I were very nervous about purchasing our first home and had many questions. Jess and her team were not only able to ease our nerves and answer our questions, but went above and beyond the call of duty in order to ensure we found and purchased our first home. They are ALWAYS available via text or call at any time to schedule tours, answer questions and anything in between. We ended up looking at many homes and sometimes felt discouraged by the process at times, but Jess said (quote) "We will look at 1,000 houses if we have to". We could not have gone through this life changing journey without her, and we would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home.

Jess was an amazing realtor and resource for the Maryland area. Moving from out of state, we were concerned with trying to purchase a house. After meeting Jess and her staff, we were blown away. They showed us properties in person and on video chat. They were responsive, helpful, and really made us feel like family. Jess, Mary, Christina, and Brian helped us find a beautiful home in a tough market. I credit them with crafting an attractive deal that was accepted. I highly recommend Jess and will tell my daughter who to use when shes ready!

Jess and Christina are such a power team! From the beginning interaction of scheduling all the way to closing, I could tell they had me and my husbands best interest at heart. In all that they did to help us find our dream home, they were attentive, very responsive (even sometimes past work hours), and intentional with the home sites we saw. I appreciated Jesss honesty and transparency when it came to the specific questions and concerns we had regarding some of the features of the homes we looked at. Jess was also knowledgeable about the area, offering suggestions for literally everything we inquired about! My husband and I were dead set on our budget and didnt want to go over - Jess made sure that we got what we wanted, within that budget! We walked into our home for the first time and knew that it was the one! I was always reassured by Jess throughout the process, so it made the decision easy for us! I would recommend Jess and her team at Vybe Realty to anyone, any day, any time! In fact, I received so many compliments and congratulations that it caught the attention of a friend of mine looking to move to the area and I am going to connect her and her fiancA(C) to Jesss team! This experience was unbelievably quick (which we loved!) and painless. Jess definitely lives up to her reputation and her email address! lol I cant thank her and her team enough! They rock!

Jessica is an outstanding real estate professional. My husband and my first Zillow contact with her and her associate Christina was so positive, and it was indicative of our entire home buying experience. Her house inspector-like critical eye was invaluable. A hard working ally, she was on top of listings and so aware of our wants and needs that we were the first to look at what became our dream home just after it went on the market. Wow! Her and Christina's support through this process was first rate. Her extensive contacts in the community for helping us address all our new house needs was an added bonus.

Jessica Sauls and her assistant Christine made selling our home a pleasant experience. They advised what we needed to do to get our home to sell quickly and were readily available for follow up consults. They put in their time and effort to make sure the house was ship shape for showings as we had already moved out of town. I cannot thank them enough for a quick and painless selling experience in this interesting market.

Jessica Sauls and her team did an amazing job in locating our forever home. Jessica Sauls and her team were the best! She was thorough and professional and great to work with. She kept us apprised about available appointments and always let us know as soon as a new home was on the market in our area of interest. She is honest and forthright- no games. After dealing with several other brokers in the (RN) area and being disappointed, we felt lucky to be referred to Jessica. Her advice and support through closing was invaluable. She was polite, available, friendly, and knowledgeable about the market, could look at an AC unit and tell his age and even knew the model number off the top of her head. We could not have done it without her and her Assistant Christina. I would highly, without a doubt recommend Jessica Sauls for your real-estate needs. She is now part of our family. We can't say enough about her. I called consistently, and even though I think I think I got on her nerves, she continued to be professional, returned calls in an instant and when she was not available, Christina was. Great team, personality and expertise. We love her!! Mr. & Mrs. Wayne S. Latimore April 10, 2023 Huntingtown, Md

It has been 7 years since we purchased our home, and with the volatile housing market my wife and I were nervous to put our house on the market and start looking. I did a Google Search for best Realtors in Maryland. I received a list of names. I called 4 of them, Jessica's office was the quickest to respond. We met with one other realtor before meeting with Jessica. Once we did meet, my wife and I immediately felt at ease with her. Her demeanor, knowledge of the area, and ability to answer our millions of questions calmed us. We chose her for one simple reason, she listened! She made us relaxed and secure in her knowledge, that she would successfully and calmly guide us through the noise and confusion. She and her team are extremely capable, organized, and thoughtful. We used her for both the sale of our current home, as well as the purchase of our new one. There were lists, tips and tricks, and plenty of communication to keep us always in the know. Jessica knew exactly what value to place on our house, and walked us step by step to get our house ready to show. Her and her assistant Christina were amazing in guiding us through the process. Once we sold, Jessica and Christina immediately switched from selling our house and focused on finding us our dream home. Again they listened to exactly what we were looking for. Then showed us houses that checked the boxes. They calmed my fears of taking on certain things like oil heat and septic. Jessica expertly guided us through the offer and inspection process. Every inspector and worker we met had nothing but the highest compliments for her and her staff. I can't say this enough, Jessica and Christina made us feel like family. And not that we plan on it, but should we need a realtor again, she will be the first one we call. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!

Very competent, candid, and personable, Jess was a pleasure to work with as first-time home buyers. Her insight into home quality during walkthroughs was invaluable, e.g., avoiding quick flip homes, spotting potential outdated appliances and systems, and providing recommendations catered to each specific propertys quirks. Its evident that she wants to help her clients get the best quality home for their budget and preferences. She was highly communicative (via email, phone, and in-person) and transparent about the home-buying, loan, contract negotiating, and closing processes. I also enjoyed working with her team and recommended contacts, who were equally confident, patient, informative, and personable, from her executive assistant to the housing inspector, to the settlement officer. Having a quality realtor (and team) goes a long way toward cutting through the B.S. of the housing market and makes the process swift and enjoyable rather than entirely stressful and confusing. I will definitely be recommending Jess to friends, family, and colleagues for years to come.

Jess is a attentive, knowledgeable, and personable agent. She helped us sell our first home and buy our second one. One of the potential buyers for our home was less than honest about their ability to buy. Jess made the best of a bad situation and found us another, better buyer in less than 3 days. Jessica rocks!!

My house was only on the market for 5 days and she has a contract in hand. Jessica also provides contractor work and very quickly as necessary.

The short version is Jessica is an amazing agent. She is personable, highly knowledgeable, reassuring and an absolute go getter! When she tells you that she is going to do something, you can take it to the bank that she will. It's rare that people not only do their job well, but go above and beyond on a consistent basis. Even the other agent ask for pointers when we were at closing! She was an absolute pleasure to work with and I cannot recommend her highly enough.Now the long version. I meant Jessica though a friend who was in the process of purchasing a home and using Jessica as his agent. Jessica did not know I was in search of a home or getting ready to sell mine so I got to observe her working, not trying to sell me on her services. She was very knowledgeable not only on the home buying process, but in the actual nuts and bolts and bones of the home. She could point out good repairs, shotty repairs and things that needed to be addressed that you probably wouldn't have noticed.I had my friend pass my information along to Jess and she called exactly when she said she would call. Anyone that's had to work with someone from the service industry knows that that is a huge deal. We talked about what I was looking for and she was confident she could find me a great home. She valued my home at a higher value then I thought possible. And she was absolutely right Because it's sold for what she said it was worth. She also gave me a pre home inspection checklist. She essentially went around identified any flaws or repairs that may need to be done and gave me a list of things to make the house presentable and sell faster. I followed the list that she provided and it worked! She promoted our home for a few weeks before it actually hit the market and within 5 days we had over 30 people come through to look at the property. We had multiple offers within that first week. We picked the best offer and we were under way. In the meantime she found us a home that fit all of our needs and criteria. We negotiated price cheaper than what we thought we could purchase it for. We got more money back in seller help that we thought to ask for. After the home inspection identified some repairs needed I picked some of the major ones and let the minor repairs go. She pointed out and advised that one of the repairs I was going to let go was actually quite costly and should have a professional do the work. We went with her instincts and she negotiated to have the seller make the repair to the tune of $2,700! While that was going on, our first offer on the house we were selling actually fell through due to a facetious lender. Turns out their clients (the buyers) we're never actually approved due to a problem with their credit but the lender lied and gave them a pre-approval letter in hopes that they could fix the problem before we got the settlement! I found this information out on a Friday night at 8 p.m. Jessica stressed to me that we need it to get the house back on the market for an open house Saturday (the next day). Mind you we had boxes everywhere because we were three weeks away from moving and settling on our new house. I was upset to say the least and did not want to hear what Jessica had to say. But I followed her advice and once again it proved to be the right decision. The open house had close to 20 groups come through and we had four offers two days later. We were back under contract by Wednesday. Jessica again proved she does know the market and this job incredibly well. The whole ordeal only set us back 10 days I feel most people in our situation that would have been a death blow and we would have lost the house we were trying to purchase. They were ups and downs throughout the whole process. No transaction this large goes smoothly but any problems that did arise we're really not problems for Jessica. She had a constant line of communication between the selling agent the buying agent my loan officers and us. She was kept up-to-date and abreast of everything that was going on throughout the entire process and in turn so were we. At closing the buying agent for our home (who was a bit on the novice side) and the selling agent for the house we purchased (who has been in the industry for a very long time) both had the same thing to say about Jessica. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, she was a consummate professional and she does the job very, very well. Once again Jessica is an amazing agent and I cannot recommend her services highly enough.

Jess was great. She was patient with all of our specific needs including a very small search area, didnt mind we had to bring along all of our kids to each showing, and was quick to answer all of our questions. And her contacts and team of people she works with are equally as awesome. Overall she made the entire process of buying a home easy and painless. Highly recommend her!!
