Meet The Team
Jackie Briggs, Broker
Top Real Estate Agent in Phoenix AZ Founder & Designated Broker
If you said real estate was part of my DNA, you wouldn’t be wrong. I grew up watching my mother build a successful real estate business in North Phoenix. As a child, I visited family in Moon Valley and loved the unique homes and tight-knit community, and always envisioned myself living in the community. I obtained my real estate license while I went to ASU and graduated with communications and psychology degrees, both of which have come in handy in marketing, sales, and developing relationships with my clients. I have been a full-time Realtor since 2004 and a Broker since 2007. My experience as a broker included managing 3 branch offices and overseeing 500+ transactions. Now the co-founder of Locality Homes, I put my years of marketing and negotiation experience to work for home sellers and buyers in the Moon Valley, Central Phoenix, and North Phoenix areas as a top real estate agent in Phoenix AZ. I received industry recognition including being named one of REALTOR Magazine's "30 Under 30" Realtors nationwide in 2012, as well as ranking in the Top 100 Individual Agents in RealTrend's 2017 and 2018 rankings. For 6 years in a row, I received the "Pro of the Year" award as #1 top-producing agent at my office before launching Locality Homes. My favorite activities include spending time with our blended family of 5 kids and 2 dogs, playing tennis, and exploring hiking trails in Sedona.

Jen Baldi
Transaction Coordinator & Licensed Agent
In 2020 I joined the Locality team as a Transaction Coordinator and will ensure that everything moves smoothly from your listing appointment to the closing of your sale. Prior to earning my Real Estate Sales License in 2011, I was a Project Manager for a local commercial contractor. From my experience in ground up construction to the knowledge I acquired focusing on tenant improvements, you can be sure that your new home purchase will be viewed with a trained eye. And if you are looking to find a tenant or rent a home, I have ample experience in tenant relations. I spent 3 years as a Commercial Property Manager before leaving the commercial industry to be home with my daughter in 2014.
As a cancer survivor, I am an active contributor to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I have represented them as an Honored Hero, through Team in Training, Light the Night, and on the LLS Advocacy Team. My daughter and I are members of the Arizona Cactus-Pine Girl Scouts. And on most weekends you can find me on the soccer field coaching a local recreation league.

Licensed Agent
I moved to Arizona in 1984 from New Jersey. I have four children and seven grandchildren. My family is the most important aspect of my life. I spent many evenings coaching my children’s teams and stayed active playing softball. In 1990 I opened my own printing business and serviced many corporate and non-profit clients over the years, including Microsoft and Best Western.
I also worked with a range of local small businesses, school districts, and municipalities. In 1994 I became a licensed Realtor focusing on helping my family, friends & clients find homes in the North Valley. I love Arizona and have a wealth of experience to share with prospective clients looking for a home in the beautiful North Valley.

"Jackie and her team of professionals were a pleasure to work with on the sale of our Moon Valley home. She set the price and was right on the nose. Her open house drew several offers. We felt her knowledge of the area and her professional experience in real estate were great assets. And we appreciate her support of the community through charitable donations and advocacy".
