WOW! Jess is the best realtor a first-time homebuyer could ask for! She was there every step of the way to help my husband and me find our first home. She went above and beyond at every opportunity! From explaining all the little details, to tracking down any documentation we needed, and even recommending great contractors for projects we’re planning for our new home. Buying your first home can be incredibly stressful, but Jess made the whole process feel so much more manageable. She was always available to answer our questions (no matter how small or what time of day) and never made us feel like we were bothering her. You really want a realtor who genuinely has your best interests at heart, and Jess TRULY DOES! They say moving is one of the top most stressful life events, but Jess took that stress away! For real, pick Jess to help you find your Ventura home, you won’t regret it!

Jessica Judd is hands down the best real estate agent we’ve worked with. She negotiated two properties at the same time for us while keeping communication constant and clear throughout the entire process. We came in with firm terms — a hard price limit, sellers paying fees, low earnest money, and a requirement to close before Christmas using a VA loan. Jessica didn’t hesitate. She took our terms and fought for them. We truly believed we had lost our first-choice home while Jessica was already working on a second option. Then the sellers came back and accepted our original offer exactly as written. That doesn’t happen without persistence, skill, and follow-through. What really stood out was how much she cared. Jessica made us feel like her only clients, reviewed every document from multiple lenders, shut down misinformation, and demonstrated an exceptional understanding of the VA loan process. She even stepped in to help educate the sellers’ side when needed, which kept everything moving smoothly. All of this happened during the Christmas holiday period — and even after closing, she continues to check in, help review repairs, and support us as new homeowners. We closed in 21 days, 0 down, on a VA loan, during Christmas, with the exact terms we wanted. This was our second home purchase, and the difference in representation was night and day. If you want an agent who is professional, responsive, and truly fights for her clients, we highly recommend Jessica Judd.

Jess is amazing! Throughout the process, which wasn’t any easy one due to the market conditions and interest rates, Jess provided support, local knowledge and truly had our best interest at heart. We feel blessed to have her as a part of our home buying journey :)

As a first-time buyer, I had no clue what was involved in buying a house. I worked with Jessica for over 2 years getting everything lined up and waiting for the right time to purchase. And when it happened the turn around time was fast and she was on it. Jessica is not your typical realtor standing in the kitchen waiting. She looks for things you wouldn’t think about when buying a home. She is incredibly knowledgeable, a go-getter, super professional and completely honest with you. She also helped me find contractors to help with the minor remodeling we did. There's not another realtor out there that could've provided us with the ease and comfort knowing we were making all the right decisions! So thankful for you Jess!

I don’t have the words to explain how amazing Jessica is at her job. She goes above and beyond and is well versed in the field. She was very available for us at all times. Every question we had, she had an answer to. Without her I guarantee we would not have found our dream home. Thanks Jessica!

Working with Jessica was a wonderful experience from start to finish. She helped me through the sale of my home and was kind, knowledgeable, quick to respond, and I always felt like she was looking out for my best interest. I’m excited to continue working with her in the future.

My fiancé and I had the pleasure of connecting with Jess through a friend of ours and WOW!!! This girl is a powerhouse! This was our first home purchase and we really didn’t know what to expect, but Jess made us feel so heard and understood throughout all of it. She has so much knowledge and any question we had throughout the process, she had an answer. She guided us through the whole process and never felt like we were left on hang, she was always quick to respond, kept us updated. We knew Jess was a one of a kind agent and knew we chose the right person to help us in this big moment, she checked in frequently on how we felt, could be a lot especially for first time home buyers, she made us feel comfortable through out the whole process. She literally went above and beyond, just little things she notices that we normally wouldn’t even pay any attention to. Knowing that we had a toddler, she made sure to really look out for our best interest when looking at homes, making sure it would be a right fit not just for us but for our daughter as well. She’s just great overall to be honest, none of this felt like just a transaction and made it seem like we were looking at homes with a friend lol. Highly recommend Jess to anyone and everyone!! and look forward to doing business with her in the future again. :)

Jessica was a joy to work with during the home buying process . Very knowledgeable, and always there to answer any questions. Even late at night. One of the things I appreciated the most, is that she’s not a yes man. During walk through she pointed out things that could be an issue, or would need replacing soon. And pointed out that it’s important you don’t go into home-buying with rose colored glasses, they end up with buyers remorse. She also really made sure to go over all the paperwork with us, making sure we knew what we were signing and what everything meant. It can be hard finding real help these days with someone who’s not just trying to rush things along to collect a paycheck. I recommend Jessica to anyone who’s in the market to buy or sale a home, or even just curious about the process. Thanks Jess!

Working with Jessica Judd has been an absolute pleasure! She is a fantastic communicator, always easy to reach, and incredibly responsive. Jessica guided us through the home-buying process with expertise and care, writing very competitive offers that helped us secure the perfect spot in Ventura. Her attention to detail, deep knowledge of the market, and genuine dedication to her clients set her apart. If you're looking for a realtor who will go above and beyond to make your dream home a reality, I highly recommend Jessica.

People hire professionals during life’s biggest moments — wedding planners, doulas, financial advisors — because they want someone experienced, steady, and deeply involved.

Trust and Probate Sales are no different.

When you’re grieving or emotionally exhausted, it can be hard to think clearly, let alone manage vendors, clean-outs, repairs, and negotiations. My role is to walk beside you, handle the details, and make sure nothing is missed.

Full-Service Support during your Trust & Probate Process

Selling a Property in a trust or dealing with Probate can be a tough job.

A lot of the time the biggest issue is “what to do with all of the stuff” or “where do I start?” I have done many trust sales and am the local go to for it.

A few examples of items I help with when selling an estate:

  • Donation, Estate Sale, and Haul away
  • Total home clear outs
  • Staging and redesigning for sale. Accessorizing is personalized and included in my services.
  • Re-painting, flooring, and repairs when necessary and if wanted. I help you decide what to do and what won’t get you a return. I also have options where you can pay for the repairs through escrow.*
  • Coordinating with all vendors from start to finish. I am your project manager throughout it all.
  • Familial tenant correspondence
  • A good buffer between family members in what can be a tense time
  • Firm negotiator in the sale of your home, helping you be protected against disputes with future buyers.
  • Top tier marketing with a fantastic brokerage. I rank top 1.5% nationwide of realtors on RealTrends, Reader Recommended by the VC Reporter, and am a Top Ranked local agent.

    You are in great hands.

The reason people hire professionals for big steps in their lives, like wedding planners, doulas, etc is to have a guide who is in the trenches daily.

Someone to lean on and trust to walk you through the steps and make sure no stone is left unturned.

When you are grieving it can be hard to even think, much less to have to take on what is equivalent to another job.

When you don’t know what to do, call me, I am here to help and make this easier than you ever thought it could be.

I have clients tell me all the time that they had “no idea a realtor did all that?!”

It is because most of them don’t – I am different.

I would love to help you with this process and can promise you, you won’t be disappointed.

The pictures below are some before and after shots. Personally, I often see homes that are in pretty bad shape from sitting empty for years. I see right past it and am able to help them get the home ready for sale quickly and in the most affordable way possible. I do not like to broadcast the before’s online, because I do not think my clients would appreciate it. I respect their privacy and their family’s legacy. I can share many before and after pictures privately if needed and am always happy to supply references from people who have been in your shoes.
