Jessica Rains

★★★★★
"Jessica Rains from Compass is an absolute class act, exceedingly professional, sophisticated, knowledgeable, and is everything I could’ve ever wanted and more from a broker. She is just truly beyond comprehension good at what she does. Everything she does is perfection. Not 98% not 99% 100% top-of-the-line professionalism. She was referred to me by someone else in the building and I’ve now worked with her for three years. Most recently, Jessica sold my condo and not only was she motivated to sell at top dollar, which happened quickly during a tough market, but during the contract phase and post-sale she was incredibly involved in getting things organized, navigating numerous obstacles, keeping all other parties on track and connected, assisting me with every aspect of my move, and so much more. This reference doesn’t do even a quarter of the justice Jessica deserves. Anyone considering hiring Jessica with any questions, please reach out to me. I am happy to discuss with you how wonderful my experience has been with her. She goes above and beyond in everything she does and is a class act in every sense of the word." -GREG T. (Condo Seller)

"We’ve had the pleasure of using Jessica and Ryan as our brokers for the past nine years. Over that time they’ve acted as trusted advisors through the purchase of 11 (and subsequent sale of nine) investment properties throughout the city and more recently on our personal property purchases. Their attention to detail, clear and constant communication, invaluable knowledge, and prioritization of our needs keeps us coming back to them whenever our family needs to purchase. Additionally, they have overseen all of our investments on the rental side and have made sure we’ve always gained high returns and never had a vacancy and advised upon/completely overseen various renovations of our properties." - WENDI P. (Condo and Co-op Buyer, Seller, Investor)

"We worked with Jessica on the sale of our condo and couldn’t be happier we did. Jessica recommend we list earlier than we had planned to take advantage of low supply in the market which ended up being just in time to sell before the market shifted downward. She quickly coordinated with her photographer and personally arranged our apartment for showings which included her own art, getting the apartment listed within days. Her professionalism and presentation were critical in engaging buyers. She provided invaluable insight and her honesty was greatly appreciated. We received multiple offers and found the right buyers quickly. Jessica consistently goes above and beyond, and is extremely detail oriented which gave us confidence that we would maximize the value on our sale. Her market knowledge and experience on countless transactions guided us, and she always maintained a focus on us and our needs through the process. We would recommend her to anyone either buying or selling in NYC, and will put our full faith in her the next time we have a transaction in the city." - DAN & AYLIN C. (Condo Seller)

"From the moment I met Jessica she impressed me with her knowledge of the market, thoughtful, focused strategic ideas about how best to present my apartment, when and how. I had an overwhelming sense that she just ‘got’ my apartment. Her enthusiasm encouraged me that she was the person to handle the deal. Jessica is detailed and helpful. She met contractors, oversaw all the improvements in my apartment and we styled it to perfection together. I appreciated her insight on how to go to market. She was sensitive to my ideas yet direct and clear on why we should go to market in a certain way. She navigated nearly 10 offers and we ultimately proceeded with a cash offer that was well over our asking price. From start to finish, Jessica was an absolute pleasure to work with. She showed herself to be of great integrity. Jessica is a true professional. She lives by her word and she puts her heart into her work. It was truly a pleasure to work with Jessica and I recommend her highly to anyone looking to sell or buy." - KATHERINE C. | (Co-op Seller)

"We had the good fortune of meeting Jessica Rains in 2018. We had decided to sell our condo and were looking for a single-family home in Brooklyn. It took us four months to sell our condo and find a suitable house, and Jessica worked with us every step of the way. She was supportive, encouraging and determined, showing up to our condo for showings for weeks on end. She was able to motivate us when we were losing our resolve, and helped us to find exactly what we were looking for in what we thought would be our forever home. The pandemic changed that, and in 2023 we decided to relocate to Maryland. There was not doubt that we wanted to have Jessica help us sell our house. She had become part of our family and we were in frequent contact with her, but even if that hadn’t been the case, we knew that Jessica possessed the integrity, competence, reliability, and professionalism that we highly value. We were shocked to have two offers from our very first open house and a signed contract within two weeks. We referred our good friends who were struggling for years to sell their condo with another agent and Jessica got them an offer much higher than their former asking price within a week of working with them. No transaction is too large or too small for Jessica; everyone gets exceptional service. We enthusiastically recommend Jessica to anyone needing a real estate professional!" - NANCY & LANCE R. (Condo Seller and Single-Family Townhouse Buyer and Seller)

"Jessica has been working for and with our family for over a decade. After 28 years of being a landlord, Jessica was the first person my mother ever gave an exclusive to and she has been indispensable to our business and family ever since. She and her team are the exclusive agents for two of our buildings and have sold our family multiple condo investment units which they also rent on our behalf. Our rent rolls increased an average of 27% when Jessica joined our team and she continues to consistently impress us and make our lives so much more seamless and stress-free. The team has also represented two of our retail commercial spaces and they continue to exceed our expectations every step of the way. Jessica is completely indispensable to our business and family and I cannot express strongly enough how grateful we are for their tireless work and complete expertise." - HELEN G. (Multi-Family Owner and Seller; Condo Buyer)

★★★★★
"Jessica helped me with every aspect of my purchase including negotiating with my landlord to get me out of my lease so that I could take advantage of an opportunity in the market. Soup-to-nuts broker with a ton of knowledge and great communication. The best agent I've come across in my 14 years in the city." - JARED M. (Condo Buyer)

"JESSICA IS A ROCKSTAR. She represented us in our very specific search for our dream UWS co-op, navigated the ins and outs of the different rules and restrictions of the buildings and thankfully uncovered serious hidden defects in an apartment we thought we wanted to buy. Finally, our dream home came on the market and Jessica negotiated against two other offers, landing a winning bid and her attorney got us into contract in a week. Our building is an old-school co-op with a super strict application process and can deny you for even a small mistake but Jessica is extremely detail oriented and handled everything with extreme care. She later helped us execute the paperwork needed for our renovation and recommended our contractor, Tarek, who was absolutely amazing. Jessica is a true professional, an expert negotiator, and always five steps ahead, making sure everything is seamless and safe for her clients. We can't recommend her highly enough." - CANDACE & MARC G. (Co-op Buyer)
