Loodmy Jacques of The Jacques Team has received the 2026 ThreeBestRated® Award for real estate excellence in West Palm Beach, recognizing nearly two decades of building a practice centered on client education rather than transactional volume. The award arrives as Jacques's team sells approximately 120 homes annually while maintaining over 300 five-star Google reviews, reflecting both production capacity and consistent client satisfaction.
Jacques entered real estate at age 19 through what he characterizes as "pure luck" while seeking part-time work during college. He quickly realized that real estate transactions can be intimidating for buyers and sellers who don't engage in them regularly, which became the foundation for his service philosophy. Rather than positioning himself as a salesperson, Jacques established an educational and advisory role focused on helping clients make informed decisions aligned with their long-term interests.
The Jacques Team's client process begins with comprehensive education rather than immediate property tours. Buyer consultations cover insurance implications, HOA regulations, property tax trajectories, and market dynamics that affect monthly payments beyond principal and interest. For sellers, initial meetings focus on understanding motivations, property uniqueness, recent sales data, and buyer expectations before discussing pricing strategy. "Your first two weeks on the market is more crucial than the next two months," Jacques emphasizes regarding pricing strategy.
Jacques describes his service philosophy using hospitality industry language, telling his team they want to provide "the Ritz Carlton level of service to every single client." Achieving this standard across 120 annual transactions requires systems and team specialization, including weekly client check-ins, buyer education seminars, and comprehensive marketing plans. "Long gone are the days of just putting it on the MLS and then the house sells itself," Jacques says, noting that his team now implements a 20-step marketing plan for each property.
Technology integration, including AI tools, enhances responsiveness without replacing personal interaction. "AI makes us more responsive," Jacques explains. "I don't think AI will replace us, but I do think it'll make us better at what we do because we still have that human personal touch."
Jacques characterizes Florida's current market as "more of an honest market now" compared to pandemic-era dynamics where buyers chased properties above asking price. He remains bullish on Florida's long-term opportunity, particularly in West Palm Beach where major business relocations continue driving demand. The ThreeBestRated® Award employs a rigorous 50-point inspection evaluating reputation, history, complaints, ratings, satisfaction, trust, and excellence, which Jacques believes validates his team's client-focused approach.
