Meet Don Jaques

Your Whidbey Island Expert

HI THERE!

I never thought I’d be a real estate agent.

As a pastor of a small church in Oak Harbor I needed a change in 2015 but I had no idea how I was going to support our family of four. A friend encouraged me to become a real estate agent and my initial response was, “No way – I don’t like sales or sales people.”

Now several years later I’ve discovered what he told me was true. “It’s not sales, it’s service.” I love the opportunities I get to serve people from all walks of life in some of the biggest transition points of their lives.

CREATING GRATEFUL CLIENTS SINCE 2015

"Don is the best realtor with whom I've ever worked. He listens. He's gracious. He's professional. He's caring. He's patient. My husband died in the midst of the buying and selling of my houses. Knowing what a difficult time I was going through, he picked up a paintbrush and painted the master closet and bathroom. And so much more. The buying of my new house and selling of my old house went smoothly because of Don. I highly recommend him.”
"Don Jaques is a longtime friend who became a most amazing gift when he was my realtor. I was recently widowed, having never dealt with the details of selling a home. He patiently walked me through all the steps in a way that I could understand. Then he walked many extra miles helping me with some necessary maintenance and upkeep, holding my hand through other times when things were confusing. I would recommend Don in a heartbeat to anyone wanting to sell their home. He is the best!!"
"I needed to sell a rental home in Oak Harbor, a couple hours away from where I live. Don led me through the process step by step, coordinating with contractors to help get the listing ready and taking care of repairs agreed upon during the inspection process. I appreciated his willingness to go the extra mile and communicate with me regularly along the way."
"Don Is the BEST realtor we’ve ever worked with, both buying and selling our home. He knows the local market better than any realtor we’ve spoken to, and he takes the time to get to know you as people. He wants you to buy the right home for you, not just a house."
“As a resident of the Island Don has great knowledge of the different parts of Whidbey right down to each neighborhood we toured. He was patient with us as we narrowed down our goals and was also low pressure and we never felt pushed into something we were not 100% interested in. When we finally found the right home Don helped us put together an offer (in a super competitive market). Don is a great guy and we could not be happier to have worked with him.”
