Gary Jacobs-RE/MAX Olson & Associates

After 27 years of living in the same property, the economics of The Great Recession on my landlord’s personal situation reluctantly had him asking me to find new living accommodations, as he needed to take back my rental house. With 60 days to pack up and move in an extremely tight and competitive market, with only a 2% vacancy rate, I was lucky enough to find Gary to help me search for a new home – quickly. I had a wish list of the ideal place and was not too optimistic I would find what I was looking for in such a marketplace and in such a time frame. But Gary really knows the area – from Calabasas to Agoura; from Thousand Oaks to Westlake Village; from Simi Valley to Ventura, CA. Gary’s business combines the best of available technology to keep up to the minute on current listings, while also providing that old fashioned personalized service and hand holding. His smartphone is always on and he returns calls and emails ASAP; being responsive to questions or concerns and always keeping you in the loop on where things are in what can seem a complex process. He is a good listener, and quickly understands what elements are critical to your satisfaction in finding your next home. Although he provided an extensive «short-​list» of properties that matched most or all of my criteria and budget, we needed to only see two properties before we found that «ideal» one. Of course we were not the only ones who had that thought, and he helped go after the one that had won my heart. It was stressful, it was emotional, and there were lots of ups and downs, yet he battled for me. Today, I am in my new home and I could not be happier. I love my place. I love my neighborhood. I love my neighbors. Not only does my new home meet my ideal wish list criteria, but also it exceeds it. I hope to be here for a very long time. I would not have found this place on my own, or perhaps with another agent. I highly recommend Gary, and have already passed his name along to friends and colleagues. You will not be disappointed if you engage his services in your search for your next rental or purchase of a home.

Gary was my realtor for a recent home purchase in the Agoura Hills area. I was very happy with how everything went from start to finish. I grew up in the area, so I know it pretty well, but Gary had a lot of knowledge about the different housing tracts that I never would have thought of myself. It was really helpful to have the extra insight available.
When we were still looking for our house, Gary was very proactive about showing us houses that he thought we would like, and was much more in tune with the kinds of places that we liked than some people that I have looked at in the past. My Fiancé and I are extremely pleased with the house that we got and a large part of the reason we got it was because Gary saw it come on the market and got us there quickly because he knew it was a great house for us.
During the purchase/​escrow period, Gary was very responsive to all of our questions and issues. And, overall the process was very smooth.
Overall, Gary is a person that I’d highly recommend to friends and others that are looking for help buying or selling a house.

I recently relocated to the Conejo Valley area to take a new job and needed to find a rental home pretty quickly. When my company’s provided real estate was less than helpful, I found Jayson Hooshmand and we was excellent. Constant professional and always accommodating to my schedule. He was able to help me find a property and security it within a couple weeks of looking. He knows this area well and can provide great guidance and recommendations.
Thank you so much, highly recommend!

My fiancé (now wife) and I were looking to purchase our first home in Ventura. Gary came highly recommended from our lender. Our lender gave Gary’s name immediately without hesitation when we asked if he knew a reliable realtor. From day 1 Gary and Jayson were far exceeding our expectations.
They had multiple homes ready for us to visit within the first few days. They are prompt, professional, knowledgeable, and always available. We saw almost a couple dozen homes before finally finding the perfect place. It was a short sale and Gary did a great job explaining the situation to us and guiding us through the long process. It took 5 months from the initial approval of our offer for the seller’s bank to provide final approval. Gary and Jayson were patient the entire time and even kept recommending and showing us additional homes while we waited. They helped us negotiate some of the fees with the escrow company to ease the closing cost burden.
Once we finally owned the home Gary recommended a contractor to do some remodeling which we began immediately. Even though we owned the house and we officially no longer needed Gary’s services, he still came with the contractor during the estimate to make sure everything went smoothly. He’s followed up with us on the remodeling and has been in touch ever since.
Gary and Jayson definitely know the business, know how to build relationships, and exude great character. My wife and I have definitely found a real estate team for life.
Thanks Gary and Jayson!

I have been working with Team Gary Jacobs for a while now. I bought a condo in Newbury Park from him last December 2012.
He is a no BS straight shooter who cares and is looking for the long term relationship.
He was always on his game and informative during negotiations.
He is a pleasant man with a nose for investment deals and makes it less drole than most burnt out Realtors.
