Jacqueline Balcells

Jacque Balcells and Century 21 New Millennium should be very, very proud of this sale. If I had to sum up her performanc e in one word, that word would be “virtuosic”. Getting full asking price in off-peak season during this challenging buyer's market is no easy task. While the property we sold is in a desirable location, its small back yard, somewhat dated interior, and other minor flaws meant that it was far from a slam dunk. In addition, I'll admit that we weren't the easiest clients. My wife and I had zero experience selling a home so we were a bit overwhelmed and repeatedly asked a lot of rookie questions. Since this was my Mom's house and we live 20 miles away, we had limited details regarding improvement/repair history, etc. and couldn't always perform various on site pre-sale tasks in a timely manner. Jacque showed true professionalism in managing our disappointment after the first contract fell through and backed that optimism up by securing another contract at full asking price just a few days later. After that, the buyer’s agent asked for a rather exorbitant amount for repair credits to address minor problems identified in the home inspection. Jacque called their bluff and negotiated the credits down to a fraction of what they originally requested and used her contacts to complete the repair jobs at a reasonable cost. She and the settlement rep graciously came to my Mom’s assisted living facility and guided her through the completion of the paperwork. I even got a wonderful bottle of bourbon as a thank you gift…that definitely put a smile on my face! I’ve known Jacque for many years but I’ve also had plenty of negative experiences doing business with personal acquaintances so our friendship isn’t a factor in this review and I assure you that everything I've said here is true and fully deserved. From where I sit, this was nothing short of a real estate masterclass in every aspect. ... Read more

Jacqueline Balcells was so helpful during our home buying journey in such a difficult market. She knows so much about th e area and was able to show us all new parts of town that we never knew about. During the offer process she took the time to walk us through each step, tell us what was competitive in the market and help us form the best offer we could. She also did a lot of leg work in reaching out to the sellers realtor and getting as much information as possible. We would definitely recommend Jacque to our family and friends! ... Read more

A friend referred Jacque to us about 15 years ago and we have only worked with her ever since. She helped us find and se cure our last 3 rentals and now our first purchase. Jacque went above and beyond to walk us through every step of the process and made sure we were comfortable with each and every decision along the way. She is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and flexible. We could not have had a more perfect experience buying our first home! ... Read more

Jacque is nothing short of an outstanding broker. She was willing to travel long distances to show us a variety of prope rties and was extremely knowledgeable (if she didn't have the answer to a question she knew where to look). Jacque is also very informative and always available, while simultaneously not being pushy to "make a quick sale". We could go on and on about Jacque, but bottom line is she is an outstanding broker. ... Read more

Since our initial move to the Northern Virginia area, Jacque Balcells has been a part of the necessary process of gettin g acclimated. She helped us understand each community in NOVA and made sure to keep in touch and guide us with information when we started to consider looking for a home. When we finally moved forward with the search, she was patient as we brought forth all of our needs and wants and was able to help us pinpoint what we wanted. She guided us through all aspects of the process and made it less stressful than we expected. I don't know if we would have made it through this process if it wasn't for Jacque Balcells. ...

Jeff, Woodbridge va

Jacque has been a real asset in our overall home buying experience. She has been really helpful and cooperative. During our first meeting, she asked us the criteria and needs important to us. Based on the inputs we provided, she started showing us different houses and explaining their features. Since it was our first home purchase, explanation given by Jacque really helped us to focus on certain things and ignoring the others. She also encouraged us to provide the honest and true feedback about the homes as well as the agents / sales guys from builders. She used to discuss our feedback and correct us if our assumptions / understanding / evaluations were wrong. This transparency helped us to continue our journey further till we found our new home. We visited our new home 4 times earlier and rejected it 3 times before we decided to go for it for the last time. In a way it tested Jacque's patience but she was cool, calm and co-operative as always. After finalizing the home for purchase, we saw a different Jacque who got further involved into negotiations, home inspections, sharing her guestimates for the inspection credits, etc. She coordinated on our behalf with the seller's agent, used to schedule and reschedule lots of meetings. She even helped us in identifying some of the flaws during inspection and was really patient during this whole process. She helped us with her lender, home inspector, handymen contacts to take care of lots of stuff. Her help during settlement was remarkable. We would like to wish her all the best for her future ventures and will definitely like to work with her again if needed. ... Read more

Jacqueline was referred to me by USAA almost 10 years ago. Although we decided to go with military housing instead of p urchasing a house at that time, we maintained contact with her. We ended up referring her to my sister's family last year; they ended up purchasing a house in Haymarket VA, and gave glowing reports of Jacque's performance. Attention to detail is a particular strength for Jacque. I would highly recommend Jacque to anyone purchasing a home in Northern VA. ... Read more

My colleague sold me on Jacque initially - he said she was 'on the ball', 'quick to reply', and on his side. She proved to be all of that. I would add that she caught some things I missed in the itemized list, and saved me some money. I'm recommending her to my coworkers, I posted her business card in the break room. I think she's going far. I would definitely use her again to sell or to buy. I really expected the whole experience to be difficult. It wasn't. She did all the work, I had no idea that choosing the right real estate agent was the biggest decision, now I know! She truly excelled at every point. There was not one time when I thought 'I wish she would've.....'. She's on target. Jacque - if you ever want a reference, I'm on it! Thank you so much for the quickest closing ever! ... Read more
