Testimonials

Over my many years, I have had the fortune of having James represent me as both a Buyer and a Seller. He is energetic, professional, knowledgeable, and most importantly these days, possesses integrity. You can tell he truly loves real estate and it shows in his handling of your transaction. I wholeheartedly recommend James & his team.

Message from the Seven Gables President and CEO 2018
I am honored to work along side the Jekums Team. Why? Their ability to create and innovate continually for the benefit of their clients, their incredible practice of being proud and active members of the community and always being kind, respectful and compassionate is very unique. They treat clients like ‘family’ and have provided trusted advice to their many clients for over 30 years. Few people may be described using these words, but The Jekums exemplify them each and every day.

In 1995 I saw a picture of an ad with a beautiful pond and the perfect setting. I called the agent, she showed me the home, we made an offer and closed escrow in 21 days! Sonia’s representation of both us, the buyers and the seller was outstanding. She turned out to be the best next door neighbor and friend anyone could have.

I consider Sonia Jekums to be the most professional & highly trained business woman in Anaheim, especially Peralta Hills. I have known Sonia for 25 years as a friend, a community leader, a sincere, caring person and most important, a person I can trust. A few years ago she worked very hard to assist me in purchasing a home in Anaheim Hills. She has a reputation for searching and matching families with properties. Her success amazes residents in our community.

When you think of Peralta Hills, the first that comes to mind is Sonia Jekums. Sonia is very determined, knowledgeable and enthusiastic when it comes to buying and selling homes in Peralta Hills. She clearly demonstrated these attributes not only once but in three of our transactions – two of the properties in Peralta Hills, representing the buyer and seller both. Sonia is a terrific agent and she is a caring and considerate friend.

Sonia Jekums did a great job for me, not only on the recent sale of my home, but also when I purchased the same home over two years ago. Sonia represented both the seller and me in 2003 and sold this investment property for me in October 2005. Sonia is a wealth of knowledge of Peralta Hills history, property values and is an expert at putting deals together with both buyers and sellers. I consider Sonia a friend and a real professional.

After seeing several homes in Peralta Hills, we almost gave up. Then we drove by one home and my wife said “I want that one”. Sonia, our friend and realtor, said that it just came off the market. Linda again said “I want that one.” I said, “Sonia, what Linda wants Linda gets”. To make a long story short, we made an offer the seller could not refuse, and got our dream home in 1997. Thanks, Sonia. We love you and your flan too!

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our Realtor Sonia Jekums. From day one Ms. Jekums has been the consummate professional, for initial assessment of the property, introductions of quality and serious potential buyers, through various negotiations and to the close of escrow. The integrity shown while double ending the transaction is appreciated.

SECOND HIGHEST SALE IN PERALTA HILLS OVER 4 MILLION
It is with pleasure and gratitude that we share comments on our experience with the Jekums team. We met with the Jekums initially to list our investment property. They sold it within a week for record-high per-square-foot price. Their expertise in the community was invaluable as they met with the appraiser and provided the input necessary to obtain the correct valuation. We were so impressed with them that we decided to list our primary residence with them as well. Keep in mind, it had been listed with two other brokers in the two years with only a handful of showings. Once again, the Jekums were amazing. They sold it within a few months, and at a recordhigh sales price in the area. Now the hard part: We needed to find a home, in the same area, with a tennis court. We wanted an older home that we could remodel to our taste, but there was no such home in the area. However, Sonia Jekums made contact with a neighbor that she thought had the home for us – and timing was perfect! The neighbor was ready to sell and we closed escrow within 30 days! The Jekums are not only competent and professional, they also bring their expertise, integrity, and excellent service to the table... and there is never any pressure! When it’s time to sell or buy again, we will definitely work with the Jekums!
