Jessica went the full distance for me in both buying and selling my house. I would recommend her highly as she was through and professional. She had to do so much for me as I lost my husband and knew absolutely nothing about house buying or selling a house. Truly a wonderful person with great regard to my needs.

Our experience with Jessica was the easiest, least stressful, and most enjoyable real estate transaction we've ever had. Jessica has great market knowledge and was very attentive to our needs, and helped us make smart strategic decisions with our listing. We can't thank her enough!

Jessica was wonderful to work with. Always answered all of our questions and was extremely punctual. She gave us great advice but never pushed anything on us. Would recommend her to anyone buying or selling.

Jessica helped us with the sale of the house while we were working on getting settled into the condo that she helped us purchase. Outside issues made the entire process stressful, but Jessica handled all the necessary details while also helping keep us calm. We hope to never need to purchase another home, but would call Jessica in a minute, if needed. We also recommend her (and pass out her cards) to anyone we see that looks even vaguely like they’re interested in purchasing or selling a home.

As soon as we decided it was time to downsize, we contacted Jessica. She quickly came up with a list of properties that would suit us with no inappropriate ones. She was able to answer any questions that we came up with regarding the property that interested us. She streamlined the financial & inspection processes for us so we could concentrate on packing in preparation for the move. We would recommend Jessica to anyone who might be purchasing or selling a home. She helped reduce the stress for us when we were already in a high-stress situation.

Jessica is a top notch realtor willing to go above and beyond and understands the sometimes stressful nature of buying or selling a home. She listens and makes time for you. Jessica was my realtor when I purchased my home and again when I sold my home. No one else I'd rather have on ny side. She has a great knowledge of contacts that may be needed when buying or selling as well legal understanding with her career background spanning more than just real estate. She has your back and keeps you informed throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Jessica Mayo and give her a 100 stars if I could. Could not be happier.

Jessica went above and beyond to help us. She is a wealth of knowledge about the area and surroundings.

Coldwell Banker helped us on a few home buying and selling transactions in AZ. It was a great coincidence and perhaps meant to be that the realtor(s) we worked with in Oriental we’re Coldwell Banker as well! Thank you Jessica for helping us with our first land purchase, you helped us a lot, and made the transaction easier than we expected.

I had the great pleasure of working with Jessica when as I call it, she was 'pawned off to me' by a realtor who was too busy to care or even meet me yet I was buying one of his properties and he came referred to me by my brother as a realtor. Still to this date never met the guy. Sad. But it all turned out to be a HUGE BLESSING in disguise as Jessica was always there ready to help me. I just wrote the listing agent off and she became my realtor and go to person for everything. Had it not been for Jessica and her desire to want to help and be there for 'me' I would have walked away from the whole thing. Seriously. I was that upset with how that other realtor treated me. So Jessica saved the whole deal and me and I am now in a great house because of HER. (I was so happy to learn she had moved onto another real estate company after I closed on my house. She deserved better and a company who could appreciate all she brings to the table.) Jessica excels in knowledge and customer service. And knows the ins and outs of the area. I was new to NC having just moved from FL. Jessica was always there for questions and answers and if she didn't know she was honest about it and quickly found out the information (vs making stuff up) and that speaks to her chatacter. Her responses were very timely whether by phone, text or email throughout my process of looking and buying a home. She even knew all the needed players to help make the home buying process smooth example a surveyor, or how to get an elevation certificate for insurance, and more. Things I would not have known I needed in NC. (And also knew everything about the title side and closing too from her previous position working for a NC real estate lawyer.) She also made herself available to assist me with a general contractor appointment so all my concerns and those I may not have thought of were addressed with the GC. She never dropped the ball and has excellent follow through skills. Top knotch, great person to work with. I highly, highly recommend Jessica!!

Jessica has been a huge help to me in selling my condo in Morehead City and buying one in Oriental. She knows exactly what to do and when, and how. She knows all the steps to be taken and is able to explain everything clearly to clients, who, if they are like me, have no clue how all the procedures work. She is always friendly, considerate, patient, and kind. She always asks the client to decide on a procedure before going ahead with it. I am very happy to be advised by Jessica and very grateful that it has worked out for me to own the townhome/condo in Oriental. I cannot imagine working with any other realtor, if I should be in the position to move again. (I hope this is the last move though!) Thank you, Jessica, for making everything work out harmoniously!

Jessica helped us find and ultimately purchase a home in Oriental, NC while we were still living in Arizona. We looked at a number of houses on Zillow and contacted Jessica with questions on those that interested us. When we found the home that we ultimately purchased, Jessica searched out the answers to a hundred questions, followed up with inspections & reports and substituted for us in every way possible. This process was extremely easy to go through, simply because we had Jessica on our side to keep up with the myriad details that came up. We didn't even SEE the house until the day before closing, but knew as much as you can beforehand through questions and extra photos. We would highly recommend Jessica if you have a home to sell or to purchase.

Jessica is the all round best agent I have worked with.

She is personable, honest, and does what she promises to do in a timely manner. She worked hard for us both in the search and the settlement process when we were buying a condo. Things went without a hitch. She even helped us after the sale to find local contractors for some fixes. She knows the local area very well and would be a source of good information for any buyer or seller.
