Agent Profile

Integrity, dedication and professionalism are words you want to hear when it comes to your biggest investment and they are the words used to describe Jacqueline.

Jacqueline started her own sales division under the Greystone Realty umbrella because what matters to Jackie is quality of service to her clients, not quantity of transactions. She attributes the rapid success of Greystone Realty to her vast business experience, quality connections and most importantly client referrals.

“It’s important to me that my clients are valued, listened to and understood. I am with my clients at every stage of their real estate transaction. I treat my clients like family and each home as my own. My clients rely on my expertise and that’s not a responsibility I take lightly,” says Jacqueline.

Jacqueline’s institutional knowledge is backed by a business background including a consulting position with Ernst & Young and an analyst with the Department of Justice, in both finance and information systems. She holds a BBA finance degree from the University of Michigan and an MBA Information Systems degree from the University of Maryland.

When you choose Jacqueline and Greystone Realty, you get the personal attention, industry connections and market experience that gives you the comfort knowing your transaction is a priority. Jacqueline harnesses her energy and enthusiasm to bring amazing results for her clients.

Buying and selling a home can be both emotional and stressful, but it can also be an amazingly positive experience. Jill Balow’s love of the area, commitment to her clients, and attention to detail take the worry out of the process so her clients can relax.

Jill, a third generation Washingtonian and a Bethesda, Maryland native currently lives in Gaithersburg, MD. Jill graduated from the University of Maryland with a degree in education, teaching primary education in Montgomery County for six years.

Jill’s love for business and working with people motivated her to establish and run her own clothing business for several years before turning her entrepreneurial spirit to real estate. Jill got her start in real estate working at a large firm with her mother-in-law, an agent in the business more than 20 years and tops in sales.

But, eager for a more client-focused, intimate agency, Jill joined forces with long-time friend and agent Jacqueline Band-Olinger at Greystone Realty.

“I realized that working in a large real estate company sometimes lent itself to losing the one-on-oneinteraction with my clients. We wanted to build a “boutique” firm so we can touch everything from staging home to sitting with my clients at closings. Big firms tend to hand things off to different employees in an office. We didn’t want our clients to feel shuffled around,” says Jill.

Greystone Realty’s approach is built on that philosophy, driving Jill to handle each unique transaction with the same access to resources as the larger firms but the personal service, local connections and institutional knowledge to unlock the possibilities for each and every client.
