Meet Your Broker

A brokerage of one, so you're never one of many.

After two decades inside some of real estate's biggest names, Jacqui Larson founded Terramar to do things differently — no franchise overhead, no handoffs to junior agents, no competing priorities. Just seasoned, senior-level guidance from first call to closing table.

From the Carlsbad coast to the Temecula valley and out to the Las Vegas desert, clients get a broker who knows the market, negotiates hard, and treats every transaction like it's the only one that matters.

Years guiding California & Nevada clients
The Broker

Two decades of real estate, distilled into one dedicated broker.

Jacqui Larson has spent more than twenty years helping families buy and sell across Southern California — earning her stripes at some of the industry's most recognized names before deciding the best service she could offer wouldn't come with a franchise sign on it.

She founded Terramar Real Estate in Carlsbad as an independent brokerage built on a simple idea — that clients deserve a seasoned professional's full attention, not a fraction of it split across a busy team.

She holds the CRS (Certified Residential Specialist) and ABR (Accredited Buyer's Representative) designations, is licensed in both California (DRE #01407829) and Nevada, and specializes in VA and military transactions alongside a full residential practice.

Carlsbad coastal California lifestyle
Why Independent

Rooted on the coast, free to serve you fully.

Carlsbad isn't just where Terramar is based — it's the coastal California life Jacqui helps clients step into. The lagoons, the beaches, the easy pace between the ocean and the hills: it's a place worth knowing well, and worth guiding people into carefully.

Going independent means every decision serves the client, not a corporate quota. No layers, no scripts, no overhead baked into your transaction — just a broker who answers her own phone and stakes her name on the outcome.

Work With Jacqui

Finding Home, With a Guide

From first-time buyers to seasoned relocators — a broker in your corner at every step.

The Buying Process

Clear steps, no surprises.

Buying a home should feel guided, not overwhelming. Here's how it works with Terramar.

01

Strategy Call & Pre-Approval

We talk goals, budget, and timeline, then connect you with trusted lenders — including VA specialists — so you shop with real buying power.

02

Curated Home Search

You see homes worth your time. Jacqui filters the noise, flags value and red flags, and tours with a broker's trained eye.

03

Offer & Negotiation

Twenty years of negotiating means a strategy tailored to each market — protecting your price, terms, and contingencies.

04

Inspections & Escrow

05

Keys in Hand

VA Loan Expertise

The military move, handled by someone who gets it.

VA loans are a powerful benefit — and easy to fumble with the wrong agent. Jacqui knows the process end to end, from eligibility and $0-down structuring to VA appraisals, funding fees, and the tight timelines PCS orders demand.

Benefit Maximized

Structure offers so you keep every advantage the VA loan allows.

Appraisal-Ready

Anticipate VA appraisal requirements before they stall your close.

Orders-Paced

Timelines coordinated around report dates and relocation windows.
