Tell Us Your Story

I have found Jackie to be immensely knowledgeable and deeply invested in her clients experience.

She always puts her clients first and does an excellent job of leading and supporting them throughout the home buying/selling process. Whether you are a first time home buyer or an experienced investor she is absolutely the person you want on your team!

Bill (Real Estate Investor)

Jackie was super helpful with the home buying process.

She was able to find us something very fast that was in our budget and that hit all the checkpoints. I would recommend her to anyone!

Nick Bugosh

Amazing experience.

This is not my first time buying a home nor is it my Fiancés but this was the first time buying one together. We live out of state and he met Jackie months ago to buy a small piece of property as an investment. She was so attentive and focused on what he was looking for but we were stubborn and couldn't make the leap. She kept her enthusiasm through multiple showings and countless listings that we just couldn't pull the trigger on. Out of the blue, my Fiancé is transferred to the Ocean Springs area and on a fast timeline. We already knew we were in great hands with Jackie and sure enough she had listings lined up the weekend we came down and we landed on a home on day 2. She was so organized and she listened to everything we said, doing everything in he power to make this an enjoyable process for us. I can vouch that wether your budget is small or hefty she will treat you with the same amount of respect and enthusiasm which I was honestly so impressed by. So thank you Jackie, and to anyone looking for someone to take care of you while buying a house- look no further, she's the one.

Nicole & Brian

After deciding to sell our beautiful home, we contacted the RE Agent who sold it to us.

She came in and gave us a low-ball listing price and left us in tears. I found Jackie Locke on the internet and called her. From the first contact on the phone, I knew I had found someone I could work with. Jackie came to our home prepared, and after the walk-through said we should be able to do much better than what the other Agent had quoted. Jackie was by our side through the whole process. Our house sold quickly, and Jackie helped us through the complicated negotiations. If we thought there was a problem, a simple call to Jackie would have us smiling again. No problem was too large for her to handle. She went above and beyond what is normal for an Agent. Because of her bubbly personality and Her professionalism, We would HIGHLY recommend Jackie for your Real Estate needs.

S. Francis

Jackie and I met in 2005 at the College of Engineering at the University of Miami.

We instantly became friends. Jackie also referred me for an internship at the company she was working for at the time, which launched my 14 year career with that same company. She was living in PA when I moved away from home for the first time to NJ. By that time, Jackie had probably lived in at least three different states and four different homes. Needless to say that she was no rookie in the area of transplanting. She put her experience to good use and took me “home shopping” to help get my new place set up. She knew from very early on that equipping my apt with all the essentials would make it feel like home and ease the transition. By now, Jackie has probably lived in 3 more states, and twice as many more homes. Looking back on how positively she impacted my experience, It is heartwarming to know that she is now “home shopping” on a grander scale and dedicating her time to others in their home finding journeys! If you’re working with her, you’ve got the perfect person for the job!

Stephanie Bottaioli

By far the best real estate`agent I ever had to buy a home.

She was always on top of everything and I did not have to worry about anything not being done. Jackie will take the reins and complete any and all task. She also answered all our questions or got us the information quickly. She does not sit on anything. She is perfect for people who have busy lives by taking care of everything and updating her clients on the process in a timely manner. I highly recommend her and she will be my first choice with any additional real estate matters.

Ronnie and Mona Lirette

Jackie is a top notch real estate agent, that seems to be dedicated in helping her clients succeed in their home buying goals, with the least amount of stress possible.

She has been available for all of our needs throughout the process, and goes above and beyond to get things done. She has been a big help in helping me to understand the what’s, why’s, and how’s, throughout the entire process. Jackie has been a joy to work with, with her high energy, and bubbly personality, and I would highly recommend her, if you’re in the market for a new home.

Dee Weaver

Jackie is wonderful to work with!

I always felt like she had our best interest in mind. Thank you, Jackie for all you have done!

Jessica & Josh

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for the outstanding service Jackie provided during our recent real estate transaction.

Her expertise, professionalism, and dedication truly exceeded our expectations. Her guidance and insights helped us make informed decisions throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail and responsiveness were exceptional. Her communication skills ensured that we were well-informed at every stage of the transaction. Her dedication to clients and commitment to excellence are truly commendable. I would highly recommend Jackie to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and trustworthy realtor.

M.Thomas

I recently had the pleasure of working with Jackie as my realtor, and I can't recommend her highly enough!

I closed on the home I sold and my new home all in the same day, which came with its share of challenges. Unfortunately, everything that could go wrong with the moving company did. Throughout this tumultuous process, Jackie was there for me from the very beginning to the end. Her patience was incredible, especially when I gave her every reason to lose her cool. Jackie's knowledge of her craft is truly impressive, and she prepared me for each step of the journey, making what could have been a stressful experience much more manageable. I don’t just consider Jackie an amazing realtor; I am fortunate enough to call her a friend. Thank you, Jackie, for everything!! —-Susana Dickman

Susana Dickman (Homeowner/Teacher)

Jackie, you did an awesome job in selling our home.

We are still amazed that our house closed in 16 days(including weekends, turkey day & black friday) absolutely unheard of with FHA. You really went above and beyond our expectations! We thank you for everything in this process, especially the communication. I would highly recommend you to anyone looking for an outstanding agent for their real estate needs.

Gina Baudean

Just as I was getting ready to give up on my search, I stumbled upon a property and saw Jackie’s name listed under the contact information and decided to call her to ask for further information.

That was one of the best decisions and most fortunate moments of my life. Words cannot describe how amazing and knowledgeable she is. Not only did she guide me all the way through my purchase but educated me by offering relevant information in every step of the process, shared with me at all times an objective point of view of the questions I asked her and always promptly and timely answered my questions no matter what, no matter when. And the best part of all is that I could tell that she was genuinely empathizing with me and interested in helping me make the purchase that would most fulfill my needs and wants. I think what would best describe my experience is to summarize it by saying that – I searched for and found my dream home with the help of my best friend in Mississippi. That’s how it felt for me. I feel that as we continue to undergo demographic changes in the US and more and more people start to move south in search for warmer climates, proximity to the water, and beautiful settings close to the gulf, it is imperative to rely in agents like Jackie who fully understand the ins and outs of purchasing a home from afar, have the empathy and transparency that gains people’s trust in a heartbeat, and someone who truly cares and has her clients’ best interest at heart. She is truly amazing. And I look forward to making my next home purchase with her!

Pam P.

Jackie was very helpful in all aspects of the home buying process.

She was patient with me in my flip-flopping of location, must-haves, and price points of homes I was interested in. I highly recommend her to anyone shopping near the Gulf Coast.

James Lieblang Jr. (Senior NDT Technician)

I miraculously found Jackie while I was searching for a home in Mississippi while living in Illinois.

Even though it is common knowledge that buying a home is a stressful process, I had no idea making this type of purchase from afar came with even more challenges. With Jackie though it all felt like I was embarking in this process with my best friend. At all times, she was super empathetic, receptive to my wants and needs, educated me beyond measure on everything and anything about buying a new home, and most importantly, advocated for me in every step of the way. She’s truly a star and I cannot recommend her enough

Pamela Pimentel

Jackie is a complete professional to work with.

From constant communication of what was available or upcoming on the market, to negotiating and giving her honest opinion which, I valued; Jackie was always available and willing to help with any questions or concerns that I may have had popup during the process. I would work with Jackie again in the future no doubt. 5 Star Agent!

Casey Hill (Production Analyst)

I just bought a home with Jackie's wonderful help.

I moved here from Nevada and she helped me greatly before I arrived in Mississippi. She went the extra mile to make sure I found the right home for my family. She supported and informed me throughout every step of the process. If I ever have another real estate transaction here I would want her to represent me.

Lori Isaac

I cannot recommend Jackie highly enough!

She is one of the most warm and welcoming people you'll ever have the pleasure of knowing. She'll make you feel heard, understood, and comfortable. She also happens to be one of the most professional and thoughtful people I've worked with. She's thorough, creative, detail oriented, and extremely client-oriented.

Kate S (Marketing Manager)

Jackie is a GREAT representative of Ocean Springs, Mississippi!

Her knowledge and expertise about homes and the areas best local businesses exceeds the most knowledgeable! She examines the homes with you and helps you break each one into categories to help you to find just the right place. She doesn’t stop there! She helps you thru the whole closing process, loved her guidance.

Jennifer Maltarp (Home buyer)

Jackie Locke has been an amazing asset in my search for commercial property for my expanding business.

While we have not found a property that checks all the boxes, yet, Jackie has been diligently searching for me. Offering suggestions everyday and has learned what I am looking for in a piece of property to where I have no doubt we will find the perfect place to expand my business, my income, and my life. She is patient, intelligent, and hardworking, but best of all she listens to me, which makes working with her a pleasure. While she may talk your ear off, it is because she is full of good information, which makes Jackie worth listening too.

Timothy Shoemake (CEO of Tidal Wave Solutions, LLC)

Jackie is simply, the best.

She works with you every step of the way to make such a daunting task seem smooth and easy. She is always quick to help or explain all confusing stuff with home buying and selling. I couldn't recommend her enough. If you need someone to catch all the details and be empathetic to your needs, this is your girl.

Chad (Staff Engineer)

Jackie was awesome to work with.

It was our first time in Ocean Springs. She was patient and willing to spend all day with us. Thanks again Jackie for showing us the Town.

Robbie

Jackie is awesome!

! My husband and I were in town for a few days and want to see some properties on short notice. Jackie was able to arrange multiple showings for us. She is very knowledgeable of the area and provided us with lots of information. We loved working with her!!

Maria Heaslet

We cannot say enough great things about working with Jackie Locke.

We actually found Jackie through her YouTube videos where she talked about the "Secret Coast" and showcased properties along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Her energy, knowledge, and passion for the area really stood out to us. When we met her in person, we quickly realized she is exactly the same—genuine, hardworking, and truly cares about her clients. Our plan was to evaluate three areas for a beach condo: Destin/PCB, the East Coast of Florida, and the Mississippi Gulf Coast (which was our wildcard). We had already spent time in Destin and New Smyrna Beach and done a lot of research—but we wanted to explore Mississippi first. We came in with a list of nearly 20 properties, which is no small task. Jackie didn't hesitate. She organized an entire day of showings and took us seriously from the start. Many agents might have pushed back on that kind of request—but not Jackie. After a full day of touring, she helped us narrow things down, revisit top choices, and really think through what fit us best. At the same time, we fell in love with the area—the continuous beachfront, the history, and the amount of development happening made it clear this area is on the rise. Jackie was incredible throughout negotiations and all the way through closing—always communicating, always available, and making sure we stayed on track. We truly felt like we had her full attention the entire time. We ultimately chose a condo at Legacy Towers, and we couldn't be happier. The property, amenities, and overall experience have exceeded expectations. We actually ended up canceling our Florida trip after spending time here—we knew this was the place for us. Ben and Dori M

Jackie is honest, friendly, knowledgeable and efficient!

I will be recommending her to everyone I know!

Mollie

Jackie is an absolute Joy to work with.

She is extremely friendly and is truly excited to help people find a home they want. She's very knowledgeable about the real estate market, both local and nationally. She listened to what I have to say, never pushed anything I wasn't interested in, and answered all my questions. I highly recommend Jackie to anyone looking for a real estate agent. I'll be using her again in the future.

Dylan Lamb

As first-time home sellers, my wife and I faced a lot of uncertainty and had many questions.

We interviewed seven agents from various agencies, but Jackie stood out due to her attention to detail, market analysis, education, and transparency. From day one, she was honest and upfront about pricing and where the market suggested we price our home. She spent hours answering our strategy questions about our initial list price, and even after we decided to test the market above her recommendation, she continued to provide market analysis updates and advise on price corrections. Jackie went above and beyond by coordinating professional home images, giving staging advice, conducting multiple open houses, and investing in paid advertising. In everything she did, she communicated with us promptly and professionally. She was always available and met with us face-to-face for important decisions, making working with her easy and reassuring. Observing other homes nearby and the decisions made on pricing and price adjustments demonstrated that Jackie’s goals aligned with ours—we were always working towards a sale, guided by frequent market analysis, rather than seeking a bigger commission. Choosing to work with Jackie resulted in selling our home within our desired timeline, despite a challenging seller's market. I highly recommend working with Jackie for anyone looking to sell their home.

Kevin Kriege

I feel like I could write a short novel about how great Jackie was but I'll keep it short and sweet.

..If you don't utilize Jackie when looking for a home, you've made a mistake. She's absolutely the best and will do what needs to be done to make sure you're buying the perfect home for you. At no point during the process did I ever feel like an inconvenience or a bother to Jackie no matter what time of the day, night or weekend. If you want a realtor that genuinely cares, call her!!!

Brian Ano (Territory Sales Manager)

I can’t say enough of how helpful Jackie was in helping us find our dream home!

One thing that I appreciate most is the fact that she treated us like we’re family or friends rather than just another possible paycheck. If you want your home buying experience an easy and joyful one I highly recommend Jackie!

Jacob & Trang

Oh my!

Jackie is an ANGEL for sticking with us. Almost 2 years of searching, from 2 states away…and she never gave up on us. At least 5 contracts written up (homes AND land), a few inspections, and probably 25 homes toured. Numerous car trips from Orlando to MS, and she was available for us every single time. She got us floor plans, HOA docs, tax records, flood elevations…you name it, she came through. We were probably the most challenging clients she’s ever had, but she never gave up on us, and all the while kept a smile on her face and a positive demeanor. We will forever be grateful that she got us into our ‘retirement’, forever home in Palmetto Pointe, at a price we could afford. I promise you, there isn’t a harder working agent out there. We would HIGHLY recommend her, and we will.

Andrea Burke (Houston Police Dept./retired)

Omg Jackie!

!! Personable. Amazing listener. Great communicator. These are just a few words to describe Jackie, but above everything she is attentive, caring and exudes joy from the moment you meet her - which was much welcomed for a family of four moving across the country. While house hunting she was refreshingly patient and equally thorough with us on video tours and in-person with two toddlers! During the flustering and at times emotionally draining process Jackie remained steadfast as a confidant and liaison for guidance and support. I honestly couldn’t recommended her more!

Rachel Charmane Lieblang

I love working with Jackie.

She is smart, dedicated, and goes above and beyond to get the job done. Jackie is easy to work with, listens carefully to everything you want/need, and never pressures you to do something you are not comfortable with. I definitely recommend working with Jackie.

Meghan Mouser (Director of Product Management)

Two thumbs up , top notch service.

I highly recommend Jackie if you are looking to buy or sell in this area.

Kenneth Maltarp

Jackie is a force of nature!

She a bright (both in attitude and intelligence!) and cheerful ray of sunshine, but she isn’t afraid to be a storm of activity- asking creative questions, leaving no stone unturned to find answers, and developing unique solutions!!

Meredith Evans

The instant you meet Jackie, you honestly feel like you have known her for years!

Her positive energy radiates throughout the entire room. She listens in detail to client needs and will go above and beyond to find the perfect property for you.

Melissa Howze (Customer Service Manager)

We are so grateful we chose Jackie to work with us on finding our new home.

We had a couple of challenges (not with her) and she was right by our side helping us along the way. She truly cares about her clients and loves what she does. If you need a realtor, Jackie Locke is the one!

Tammy

Jackie is always so positive and uplifting!

She is so kind to everyone and her smile can light up a room. Her energy is contagious. She sincerely cares and puts her all into everything she does.

Jackie went above and beyond!

I was a first time home buyer and was referred to Jackie. She walked me through the process every step of the way. She helped with many things I thought a realtor wouldn't bother with and thoroughly explained the entire process to me. I ended up with a great home at a great price. Don't know what I would've done without her. Thanks, Jackie!

Steffan H

Jackie, without a doubt you are 100 percent an angel from out of this world.

From start to finish for the sale of our home you went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and showcase the old school charms our first home held. I will only recommend you to my friends and family looking in the Gulfport area. From Jake, Penny, and myself, thank you for your hard work and dedication to our family and our home sale. Truly. Thank you. :)

Ashley Hartman

Jackie is one of the most energetic, caring, ladies i know.

"Jackie did an outstanding job. My comfort and peace were her top priority. She sought out the best options for me and advised me all through the process of searching and closing for my new home. I already recommended someone to her and will continue to do that. I love Jackie’s energy and the joy she brings to what she does!"

"Jackie Locke is a Gulf Coast gem! We first spoke to Jackie over 2 years ago. We were driving through MS (from Illinois) and decided we wanted to check out property in Ocean Springs. With only one day notice, Jackie set aside nearly a whole day and lined up seven or eight properties of all types for us to visit. She met us for coffee at a wonderful local bookstore, introduced us to herself, the community and the local housing market. We were amazed how closely the properties she showed us matched our wish list given how little time we had spent with her. We left MS. without buying anything. However, we stayed in touch with Jackie, and she continued to send us listings, though we rarely responded. This fall, she sent a listing - in a condo development she knew we appreciated- and we decided to investigate. In short, Jackie arranged a showing as soon as we could fly in. We made an offer, and she made everything happen from that moment through the sale. She informed us about several lending institutions and insurance companies in the area. She coached us throughout the process, did a video walk-through the day before closing, and held our hand remotely on closing day. She even did a second video walk-through after closing, got the keys, and secured the condo. Jackie's professionalism, expertise and can-do spirit are outstanding. So many words come to mind: talented, enthusiastic, positive, ethical, thorough, communicative, prompt, interesting, funny, kind....we could go on. If you're looking for property in the Ocean Springs area, call Jackie-she'll make your Gulf Coast dreams come true. And, you'll enjoy her company. You won't be disappointed."

"Jackie spent all day showing us homes in the area and even rescheduling a couple more the next day, Saturday. Then arranged a showing for a Sunday soon after that. Jackie’s knowledge about closing made that task go so much easier! Plus she connected us with local businesses to make our transition so much easier."

"Jackie was everything we could ask for in a realtor! Her kindness, thoughtfulness and genuine personality made the search for a home much easier. She listen to all of our concerns and gave us many options to choose from when picking a home. We were with our dog traveling since we live a little away and she was very accommodating, even going far as fining a restaurant to go to with the dog! Thank you so much Jackie for helping find our home"

It is an immense help to have a realtor who you can trust to work in your best interest and who is so friendly, knowledgeable, responsive, and dedicated. I had to pursue another route, but I absolutely recommend Jackie to anyone looking for a home on the coast!"
