Find Your Dream Home

Kate DeLucia

Buyer and Seller - Riverview to St. Pete, FL

“Jessica was great to work with for both selling our home and purchasing our new home in this ever changing housing market. She came up with creative strategies to sell our home as well as a firm negotiator in purchasing our new home. She is very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions throughout the process. She has many connections and has recommendations every step of the way from lenders, inspectors, to plumbers. She is very professional, hard-worker, diligent, and attentive to detail. Overall, I loved working with Jessica and would highly recommend her.”

Ashley Moss

Seller - Tampa, FL

“With Jessica's expertise, we got an offer on the first day selling our home in the Westshore Yacht Club in South Tampa. Jessica always kept us updated, answered all our questions and was very professional. We loved that she helped to take the worry out the process, was very trustworthy and knowledgeable. Not only was Jessica amazing, her whole team including Barbara, Megan and all others from C21 made everything so smooth and communicated well. They even put together a custom basket for us at closing, which was very thoughtful and appreciated. Highly recommend Jessica and the C21 team.”

Nate Edge

Buyer and Seller - Riverview, FL

“Jessica has been amazing in every way. I've worked with her now as my buyer's agent and seller's agent, and she's one of the best Tampa has to offer by far! In every interaction, whether buying or selling, she focuses on what I wanted to accomplish, listens and asks questions to make sure she's finding the right solution for my needs.

Being in the military and stationed in the Midwest, there were several items I was unable to take care of since I wasn't present in the area. Jessica went above and beyond to help me accomplish repairs, work the HOA and title company, she was invaluable in making this process go smoothly. Her communication is great, always providing relevant updates as situations develop. She's an extreme pleasure to work with, she knows every aspect of the Tampa real estate market and always comes with great advice. She has earned my complete trust...the next time I have to buy or sell anything in the Tampa area, there's nobody I would want to work with but her.”

Daniela Morrone

Buyer - Clearwater, FL

"I could not recommend Jessica Beggins enough. She was amazing through the whole process. As a first time homeowner it can be overwhelming but she made it us feel at ease the whole time. She communicated greatly and was just amazing at all of it. She had so many great resources as well."

Meghan Dukett

Buyer - Riverview, FL

"Would recommend Jessica to anyone I know. Some things I didn't have to say what my family needed or wanted and she just knew. She knew walking into a home if it would be perfect for us or just wouldn't work. She worked hard to get us everything we wanted and needed during the closing process!!"

Fernanda Robles

Buyer - Tampa, FL

"Jessica always went above and beyond from the very start. She is not only an extremely knowledgeable person, she is also so nice and amazing to work with. I'm definitely working with her for future home purchases and recommending her to everyone!"

Luke Coggins

Buyer - Plant City, FL

“My wife and I are grateful to have found Jess! We both sat down with her and explained what we were looking for in a home as first time homebuyers. The first home that we saw ended up being the home we purchased. Home buying can be stressful; however, Jess made the process simple for first time homebuyers. Utilizing her expertise, we were able to walk through the process of home buying worry free. It was an excellent experience and we will be using Jess in the future!!”

Robby Bourne

Buyer - Tampa, FL

“Working with Jess was such a great experience because she had such a positive and calming demeanor throughout the entire process. We always felt like the next house we were viewing could be the one and this kept our attention and energy going throughout the entire process. If you want to find your next great home trust in Jess. You wont regret it!!”
