Hi, I’m Jackie

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Jackie, the face behind Dream Home by Jackie, and this blog is where real estate meets real life. I’ve been a licensed Realtor since 2010, but more importantly, I’ve spent the last decade helping people navigate one of the biggest (and most personal) decisions of their lives – finding a place to call home.

I believe real estate is built on relationships, not transactions. My philosophy is simple: treat people the way you’d want to be treated. That mindset shapes everything I do, from first conversations to long after the keys are handed over. I genuinely enjoy getting to know my clients as people, understanding what matters to them, and guiding them through the process with care, clarity, and honesty.

This blog is an extension of that same approach. Here, you’ll find thoughtful takes on the housing market, practical tips for buyers and sellers, and lifestyle-inspired content that celebrates home, community, and everyday living. Think of it as a place to stay informed, feel inspired, and maybe even dream a little.

I live in Coto de Caza and specialize in South Orange County, with experience throughout Riverside County, Los Angeles County, and the Inland Empire. Having also lived in the Big Bear area, I bring additional insight into vacation and lake properties for those dreaming beyond the everyday.

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll usually find me painting, watching sports, soaking up ocean air, or finding inspiration in interior design and all that Orange County has to offer.

Thanks for being here, and welcome to the dream.
