Orange County & Los Angeles County
The agent who will talk you out of the wrong house.
I'm Jessica Flores. I've been licensed in California since 2015, and I work with buyers, sellers, and investors across Orange County and LA County. You'll get straight answers, whether or not they close a deal this month.
What brings you here?
What I do
Residential real estate across two counties — representation from the first conversation through the day you get the keys or hand them over.
Buying
Finding the right property, and being honest about the ones that aren't.
- Neighborhood and school district research
- Private tours and open house scheduling
- Comparable sales analysis before we write
- Offer strategy and negotiation
- Inspection review and repair requests
- Coordination through escrow to closing
Selling
Pricing that reflects your actual market, and preparation that earns it.
- Comparative market analysis and pricing strategy
- Pre-list repairs and staging guidance
- Professional photography and listing copy
- MLS syndication and social marketing
- Offer review and counteroffer strategy
- Escrow and disclosure management
Investing
Numbers first. If a property doesn't work, I'd rather tell you before you own it.
- Rent comps and cash-flow analysis
- 1–4 unit residential and small multifamily
- Condition and deferred maintenance review
- Tenant-occupied purchase considerations
- Hold-versus-sell analysis on what you own
- Referrals to contractors and property managers
What actually happens, in order
A California residential transaction runs on a schedule with real deadlines. Here's the shape of it, so nothing lands as a surprise.
First conversation
What you're looking for, your timeline, and what's realistic in your price range. No commitment, and no pressure to sign anything at this stage.
Search or prepare
Buyers start touring with a shortlist built around actual criteria. Sellers get a pricing analysis and a punch list of what's worth doing before we photograph.
Offer and negotiation
Price is one term among many. Timelines, contingencies, repairs, and closing costs all move, and a well-structured offer often beats a higher one.
Escrow opens
Your deposit goes to a neutral third party and the clock starts. This is where deadlines begin to matter, and where I do most of my work.
Inspections and disclosures
Buyers get the property inspected and review the seller's disclosures. Findings can reopen negotiation on price or repairs. Sellers disclose what they know, fully.
Contingencies release
Once you're satisfied with inspections, the appraisal, and your lender's approval, contingencies come off. After that your deposit is genuinely at risk, so we don't rush it.
Final walkthrough and signing
A last look to confirm condition and agreed repairs, then signing with the escrow officer or a mobile notary.
Recording and keys
The deed records with the county and the transaction is done. Keys change hands, usually the same day.
Where I work
Orange County and Los Angeles County. If your search crosses the county line, that doesn't change anything on my end.

About Jess
I've held a California real estate license since 2015. In that time I've worked with first-time buyers who needed everything explained twice, sellers who had lived in the same house for thirty years, and investors who wanted the spreadsheet before the tour.
What they had in common is that the transaction mattered more to them than it did to anyone else in the room. That's the part I take seriously. You're making one of the largest decisions of your life, and you deserve someone who returns calls, explains the paperwork, and tells you when something looks wrong.
I'll also tell you when a house isn't right, or when now isn't the moment to sell. That costs me commissions occasionally. It's also why most of my business comes from people I've worked with before.
The best outcome isn't always a closing. Sometimes it's talking someone out of a mistake.
Get in touch
Whether you're a year out or already under contract, a short conversation usually saves a lot of guessing.
