Akala Jacobson - Testimonials

Tell Us Your Story

Akala worked so hard for us!

She kept encouraging us when we were ready to give up in this seller's market. She never stopped looking for "the right house" for us. She worked closely with our lender to ensure that we were competitive in submitting our offers. We trusted her so much that we bought our house sight-unseen, just through FaceTime!

ESTATE OF CARL REYNARD

Akala made me feel like I was her only client.

She had fast response times, and was amazing at educating me about the market, inspections, my random "don't know" questions, and what was coming next. She made the home buying process so easy and painless. Now when I am looking for a new home I compare my realtors to her. She was very professional and personable. Thank you for helping me in an area where I had no experience!

Danielle Jane Williams

We really enjoyed working with Akala!

We contacted her prior to our trip to Tuscon as we only had a week there to look at houses. She made time to learn about us and sift through our uncertainty to help us fine tune our preferences in a property. When we got back home and decided to make an offer on a house she went right to work for us and guided us through the whole process to make it as smooth as possible. Akala is also very friendly and has a great sense of humor and we feel like we made our first friend in Tuscon!

Jody & Eric Bjarnson

Every aspect of the process was handled professionally and efficiently.

Richard & Joan Brandmahl

Akala was nothing short of amazing for us.

We began our homebuyers journey in the middle of the pandemic and had an unfortunate situation where a house purchase fell thru. Akala stuck with us through that and the rapid changes in the housing market until we were finally able to complete a purchase. I’d recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Akala goes above and beyond in everything she does for her customer.

She made me feel like I was her only client while also being extremely detailed, making my first time home buying process as easy and through as possible. I work with dozens of different realtors as a handyman, but I chose to have Akala be my realtor due to the fact that she is the best at what she does. Extremely professional and a shining star in the fact that she holds herself to the upmost standards. I will be using her again on my next home purchase and referring her to anyone I know in need of a realtor. Thank you for reading my statement.

She did a great job finding the condo for our grandson.

Highly recommend her to find the right home for you. I have been a realtor for over 40 years I know a great agent when I work with one and she is one of the best.

Paul Thorhauer

Akala is the only agent I will ever use when selling and buying a house.

There are not enough great things I can say about the way she guided us through entire process. Which was shorter and more profitable than expected! She was way more than an agent. If you are shopping for an agent, your search should end here!

Kate Gorecki

Akala is fantastic, and her focus on educating clients to ensure they have all of the information needed to make an informed decision in the home-buying process truly enabled us to get to the finish line with our recent home purchase.

I will recommend her to all of my friends in the future!

As a first time home buyer with troubled credit history, working with Akala and her team was nothing less than ideal.

She knew just what I needed to do at each stage of the process, and was skilled at communicating with me on my level (as an uneducated home buyer). I look forward to working with Akala and Long Realty again in the future.

Justin Mc-Cullough

Akala has it all!

She was focused on our needs and wishes, sensitive to our likes and dislikes, upfront and prompt with all information, and a really nice person! She is a high energy, go getter, intelligent and caring woman and we feel very lucky that she’s the one we found to help us find and buy our new home. A five star rating doesn’t quite cover how impressed we were with all she did. She put in 110% for us and we can’t recommend her more highly.

Libby

Akala Jacobson did an excellent job.

She was professional, knowledgable, and friendly. She was also available to answer any questions we had, and if she was not available, when we called or texted, she would response in a timely manner as to when she would be available. (And then she would follow up and answer our questions.)

Ruth & Robert Cantrell

Akala was fantastic.

She worked with various lenders to get me a loan tailored to my unique circumstance, and was everything I could hope for in a realtor. Personally, she is kind, responsive, and has a great sense of humor; professionally, she is incredibly knowledgable, organized, and detail oriented. I'm grateful she was my realtor.

Drew Warner

Akala Jacobson was not only very knowledgeable and thorough, but had a great sense of humor.

Akala Jacobson is one of the best RE Agents.

She is knowledgeable, understanding, caring, and honest. She has an energetic, positive attitude and is truly committed to finding the best fit possible. I'm not a first time home buyer, but this was my first time buying a home on my own. Akala answered all my questions and patiently helped me understand the processes and nuances of home buying. She worked with me, not just for me. Akala is phenomenal.

Eleanor O'Dea

My husband and I cannot say enough about Akala Jacobson and Long Realty.

She went above and beyond, assisting our family in buying a home while we were out of town, with two young children, through a pandemic. Despite the many challenges that our unique situation presented, Akala was able to coordinate and guide us through the home buying process with ease. She found and helped us secure a beautiful home that we look forward to growing our family in, and we truly can't thank her enough!

Caitlin & Ryan Burm

Akala did an amazing job in a not so easy market to help me and my family find the condo that was perfect for us.

Robert Navarro

Akala did a fine job in our long distance dealings.

Informing me along the way of transaction. She even tolerated my sense of humor. All together not a bad experience. PPIEW

"When it came time to sell our current home and buy a new one, I immediately knew who I had to use: Akala Jacobson! Being in the real estate business myself for 16 years, I have worked along side hundreds of real estate agents. No one in my career has compared to the professionalism, the caring nature and pure knowledge of what Akala possesses. She’s the even-keeled guiding light in any stressful situation. She was punctual in everything she did and calculated in the conversations she had. Akala is constantly looking to improve her business model and give every single person, from client, lender, inspector or vender top notch customer service. I found my realtor for life: Akala!"

"Akala made the sale of our home of over 25 years a smooth, comfortable process. She found a family that will take pride in ownership and provide the care needed for an older, midtown home, things she knew were so important to us. She patiently walked us through the complete process from start to finish, presenting each step in basic, understandable terms. Explaining details and providing direction came easily for Akala. Her energy and enthusiasm shined through for an honest and professionally presented listing of our property. Her listing showed our home at its very best and made the sale much easier than we'd ever expected. We have already recommended her to other people. Akala's approach to all aspects of the transaction made the selling process go smoothly and painlessly. Thank you very much Akala. -Mike M"
