"In the past few years, I have dealt with several realtors. Rich Jacobson is by far the most honest and trustworthy of them all. He found us our dream home here in beautiful Kitsap County, and did all the worrying for us. Rich understands the needs of moving Navy families because he was once a sailor himself. I highly recommend Rich Jacobson to handle all of your PCS relocation needs!"

"As first time homebuyers, we had a lot of questions. Rich answered all of them patiently and thoroughly, and always with a smile on his face. He was quick to respond to e-mail and phone calls, easy to talk to, flexible, and respectful of our wishes. Rich truly made the home buying process simple! He was great in every aspect of our home buying experience. With this being our first home, we were really starting from scratch and we felt like he was always there to provide help and thoroughly explain each facet of a very complex endeavor. We truly appreciate his diligence as he helped us throughout the entire closing process. We couldn't be more pleased with our first home. Our deepest thanks go out to Rich for his generosity and hard work."

 "We were coming to Washington from another state, so it was critical to find an agent who understood our needs and in whom we could trust. Rich only had one day to take us around Kitsap County, learning what we liked and getting an idea of what we wanted. He continued to look for properties while we returned to California and waited. Rich was able to find the absolutely "perfect" home for us and we trusted him so much that we bought the house without physically seeing it, only viewing it through pictures he sent us. Without any reservation, we would highly recommend Rich to anyone searching for a home. He listened to what we wanted and gave advice as to what he thought would meet our needs. He was the perfect agent and now we own the perfect home!"

"We received excellent service from Rich during every step of the process. He kept us totally informed and worked with us perfectly. If we ever buy another house, or know of someone who is buying or selling, we will definitely recommend Rich. Moving with 3 small children and 5 dogs is difficult enough, but Rich was extremely helpful and went out of his way numerous times to accommodate us. Thank you, Rich!"

"I have been commuting to the Central Kitsap School District for the past 8 years from Sumner, which is about a 1 and 1/2 hour drive each way. Through the years, this drive has become very old and tiring. Just recently, I realized I no longer wanted to make this commute and decided to buy a home closer to work as an investment and as a place to live during the week. Rich Jacobson was recommended to me by one of my employees as a person who could help me with this purchase. I contacted Rich and in an extremely short period of time I purchased and moved into the perfect place for my needs. Rich was wonderful to work with, took care of all the details of the purchase and was very professional in all aspects of his job. If you are looking to buy a home, I strongly recommend Rich Jacobson of Windermere to help you through that process--you will be glad you did!"
