Krysta Jaeckels

In 2015, Krysta set off alone from small-town Central Coast life for the energy and adventure of Chicago, where she began building her career in real estate. Having arrived with just two pieces of luggage and one contact, she soon created not only a sense of community, but a respected name for herself as a sought-after real estate agent in one of the country’s most competitive urban markets. Personable and approachable, with the ability to create instant rapport and trust among buyers and sellers alike, Krysta’s dedication to her clients, thoughtful attention to detail, and strategic approach to selling made her one of the city’s top talents. After a decade in Chicago, her roots (and a romance) called her home. In a made-for-Hallmark plot twist (fitting, given her first job was at the Orcutt Hallmark store), she returned to the Central Coast for family and love, with sharpened expertise and renewed enthusiasm for the community that raised her. For first-time homebuyers and seasoned investors alike, Krysta makes the real estate process seamless and not merely enjoyable, but fun! Her success is grounded in two defining strengths: first, her genuine passion for people, whether connecting, helping, or cheering others on. (The St. Joe’s cheerleader in her has never really left.) And second, an expert professionalism honed in Chicago, where speed, precision, and strategy are essential. For Krysta, her job is not simply to sell you a home. It’s to ensure you feel supported, educated, and empowered with the knowledge you need to make the best decisions. As a homeowner herself, and having navigated two cross-country moves, she understands firsthand how personal and complex it can be to create a home. With Krysta as your agent, you gain not only a skilled advocate, but someone truly in your corner. No matter where you are in your Central Coast property journey, Krysta (and her beloved pup, Poppy Mae) are ready to guide you, cheer you on, and help you feel at home.
