Jacques Gates, Real Estate Agent and licensed Home Inspector with the Marjorie Adam Team since 2003, brings a uniquely comprehensive perspective to home buying. A proud graduate of the University of Virginia and Penn State with a degree in psychology—and a concurrent focus on art and graphic design—Jacques blends analytical insight with visual acuity and design sensibility. In 2022, he earned his Virginia Home Inspector license and added the New Residential Structure (NRS) specialty designation. NRS-certified inspectors like Jacques are uniquely qualified to evaluate brand‑new homes—not just standard structural components, but also finish work, trim, cabinetry, appliances, and fixtures that are often overlooked in resale inspections. For buyers of new construction, this translates to peace of mind and proactive advocacy—identifying defects or incomplete elements before closing, when builders are most responsive and the fixes cost less.
We’re not just your real estate advocates - we’re also your neighbors and soon-to-be friends. For us, going above and beyond means building lifelong relationships, not just closing the sale. This is more than just a job for us. It’s our passion.
