Jumaane and Jen Cabrera with John L Scott, is one of the best overall real estate agents I've had…read morethe pleasure to work with. I can't express enough how glad I was to have them as our agents. Great couple real estate group. Jumaane is attentive, responsible, VERY knowledgeable and puts his clients needs above his own. He looks out for his customers' best interest and is ALWAYS available to answer questions and provide guidance. I especially loved the conversations with Jumaane anytime (day or night) I needed something explained in layman's terms! Lol! The other huge highlighted point I want to make is that the Cabrera group aren't just trying to sell you a house, collect their money and move on, they're really about creating a relationship, finding you your perfect home and being there every step of the way. In summary, Jumaane is tremendously experienced and on top of it! After a couple of months of searching and several offers later, we were able to find an amazing home at the best possible price. Jumaane and Jen made the home buying process in literally the craziest market in the country....relatively easy. We were recommended to Jumaane by a family friend and awesome loan officer, Messial Cruz with Umpqua Bank, which by the way got us started on the loan approval, and he did not disappoint! He took our needs into consideration, constantly sent us good housing options, and scheduled a booking to see homes at the closest availability. He was realistic, worked with our budget, helped us put in attractive bids and didn't waste our time. In the end, he fought for us, tooth and nail, and got us into our dream home! Jumaane and Jen have a super efficient and fast technical team. Everything was done online, or via phone. Fast, secure and very organized! They are TOP notch! 5 thumbs up! I highly recommend them to anyone and everyone looking to buy or sell a home in Kitsap County and the state of Washington.

I have been a client of Pickett Property Management for over thirty years as my work has taken me…read morearound the world. Their services have given me tremendous peace of mind - knowing that my property was being taken care of properly. They have made recommendations based on current market conditions that have helped tremendously. They have screened and monitored tenants, promptly notified me when problems have arisen.

The people there have always understood the challenges I was facing as I moved from country to country. Now as a new retiree I have this great asset as part of my portfolio and my peace of mind continues. Thank you!

We hired Pickett to manage our home for 9 years as a military family that thought we might get to…read moremove back to the area, and we stayed with them about 8 years too long. Our business relationship started ok but got progressively worse until they ultimately cost us about $30 grand in unpaid tenant repairs and bills. To start, Pickett regularly alienated nearly every tenant they placed in our home. One set of tenants hated it enough that they even abandoned the home without saying a word to Pickett mid-lease after transferring all utilities out of their name so that they defaulted back to us as the owners. Pickett refused to recover any costs incurred by us above the security deposit, but they still made sure to collect their full monthly fee from that deposit while it was empty. They even wrote on the statement "Tenant still owes owner $2794.50." The only tenant that stayed in the home for more than 1.5 years caused enough pet damage to cost us about $25,000 out of pocket to repair it. We had to have every carpet replaced and every wall repainted to remove the pet smells. Pickett didn't even discover the damage themselves. A third party that entered the home had to report all of the issues including unauthorized pets that were explicitly forbidden from the home in the lease due to my family's allergies if we were to move back in. Pickett didn't even bother to withhold the full security and pet deposits for this damage, and all they would say is that Washington is very tenant friendly if and when we could even get them to respond. They offered to have the owner, Kevin call us back to discuss our discrepancies, but he never called, and never returned any of our multiple calls when we tried reaching out to him. Those same tenants managed to destroy a fiberglass tub a year prior, and Pickett chalked that up to normal wear and tear and charged us the full $2,500 replacement cost. Additionally, Pickett routinely violated their policy of contacting us before any repairs costing more than $300, and we would only find out when the repair payment was withheld from our next rent payment. They rarely attempted to get multiple bids for large repairs except on the rare occasions they notified us before they authorized the contractor to conduct the repair, and even then we had to insist on multiple bids. For the costs of routine services like roof and gutter cleaning, they didn't bat an eye if the company they contracted with one year charged double what we paid the previous year. When confronted, they would tell us that this new company is so much better than the old company, and we would be so much happier with their services. Pickett has also all but refused to engage with our HOA's concerns in any meaningful way regarding required upkeep for years. As far back as 2022, our HOA has been asking Pickett to address trees growing over the roadway. Pickett charged us for three different landscapers to fix the problem, but Pickett never confirmed with the HOA which trees they were concerned with, so none of the landscapers trimmed the correct trees. It took 15 minutes for us to coordinate with the HOA to identify and trim the offending trees ourselves when we went to the home as we prepared to sell. Pickett could not be bothered. Pickett was an incredibly poor steward of our home and money, and if the majority of our tenants are to be believed, they were terrible to rent from. It does not look like I will be stationed in Kitsap County again, but after all this company put us through in managing the house that we would have moved back into, I don't think I could live in it again without all of the bitter reminders of the time, money, and energy we had to spend on it because if Pickett's incompetence. I would not recommend them in any capacity.

Long story short Ida was a lifesaver for us. She was very knowledgeable about the area and all the…read morehouses for sale in our price range and with our requirements. She never once pressured us toward a certain house or tried to gloss over issues with them. She weighed the pros and cons with us and made sure we were completely comfortable with our choice. Her patience was unbelievable, when we were at home trying to pick between houses we'd already seen, all we had to do was call her and she'd take us back to see them again. Best of all she felt like a real genuine person, not just someone who's smiling at you because they want your money. We saw a few other agents along the way at open houses and there was always a sense of them wanting you to hurry up or they had their sales faces on. Long version: After over a decade of living in a log cabin in the woods of Spotsylvania, this past year my mother decided that she wanted to move to Virginia Beach, where I attend college and only a short distance to CNU where my brother is enrolled. Going from 27 acres of hills, a creek, gardens, and not a neighbor in sight, to here was a rough transition at first but we finally convinced her to sell her beloved cabin and buy a new home. The first day of her search though turned out miserable. She didn't ask me for help looking so I assumed she didn't need it, but by the end of the day when we talked on the phone she was in tears. She had looked up online all the houses with her requirements at different real estate sites and gone to look at them only to find that they were in bad neighborhoods, were an inch away from another house, had no back yard etc. I went with her the next day since I knew the area and we just happened to see an open house in a neighborhood I knew was nice. We walked in and there was Ida with cookies and Italian Coffee. Even just that made us feel a bit better about the day. The house was great compared to anything my mother had looked at by herself, however, it was great and expensive. It also was up against the road which was a problem. We have four family cats who were used to roaming the woods, they needed as much space and trees as possible with the city dangers as far away as possible. We liked her right away and even though we hadn't intended to get an agent, we decided she was worth it. After that everything was easy. She brought us profiles on all the houses she thought we might like, and worked with us until we found one that worked and knew we wanted it. It has an amazing backyard perfect for the cats and not on a main road but in the same nice neighborhood we saw the first house in. The house was a short sale so it took us a while to get in but Ida let us know realistic expectations for the dates that turned out to be quite accurate. She wasn't overly optimistic or pessimistic with us during the house buying process, she was realistic and honest about everything and it really made us feel like she cared about us being happy to be getting a new house but that we'd be happy living in it for an indefinite amount of time. We're now moved in but not quite unpacked and it was so much less stressful because of Ida. She really is a great agent and we're happy to have her at the house any time.

She got the ball rolling with great recommendations after I told her I was looking for a vacation rental single family home, and although I was already doing tons of homework on Zillow to stay abreast of the market (still hypercompetitive), it was one of her finds that I ended up closing on! Today I'm happy to report that I'm the proud owner of a new house after what was a nigh-seamless offer, inspection, and closing. Megan helped provide a read on the neighborhoods I was looking into, lined out walkthroughs and open house visits, queued up an inspector on short notice, connected me with a local lender who helped us out with a 15-day closing -- in short, overdelivered on all parts of the home buying process which would have been overwhelmingly confusing otherwise.
