Gadura Real Estate LLC — Queens, NY
Known as Jackie — Bilingual Real Estate Agent
For 15 years, Jackie has been the first agent many Spanish-speaking families in Queens call when they’re ready to buy or sell. She understands the legal vocabulary of real estate contracts and the cultural nuances of how immigrant families make life’s biggest financial decisions — in both languages, without shortcuts.
About Jackie
When Jaqueline Silva started in real estate over 15 years ago, she noticed something that bothered her: Spanish-speaking families in Queens were making some of the most consequential financial decisions of their lives — often in a language they weren’t fully comfortable in, relying on translations that missed critical nuance.
Jackie changed that in her corner of Queens. Today she is one of the most trusted bilingual real estate agents serving Richmond Hill, Jackson Heights, Flushing, Jamaica, and Ozone Park — communities with deep Puerto Rican, Colombian, Ecuadorian, Mexican, and Dominican roots.
Her clients don’t just get an interpreter. They get a licensed professional who reads every clause, explains every contingency, and advocates for them at every stage — in whichever language makes them feel most confident.
“My job is to make sure nothing gets lost in translation — not the words, and not the meaning behind them.”
Jackie has guided clients through short sales, estate transactions, first-time purchases with down payment assistance programs, and competitive multi-offer situations where the margin between winning and losing was a single clause in the purchase agreement. Her 15 years have given her an instinct for what’s fair, what’s risky, and what’s worth fighting for at the table.
Why It Matters
Buying or selling a home involves dozens of legal documents — purchase agreements, disclosures, co-op board applications, title reports, mortgage commitments. When any of those aren’t fully understood, mistakes happen. Jackie ensures they don’t.
Real estate contracts in New York are dense legal documents. Jackie walks through every page — in English or Spanish — so her clients know exactly what they’re signing, what protections they have, and what obligations they’re agreeing to. No assumptions, no gaps.
Many of Jackie’s clients make purchasing decisions as a family — parents, adult children, sometimes extended family members. She’s comfortable facilitating those conversations, answering questions from every generation at the table, and making sure every voice is heard.
For families purchasing their first property in the United States, the entire process is new. Jackie has guided dozens of first-generation buyers from initial consultation through closing keys — explaining mortgage pre-approval, home inspection, title insurance, and everything in between without condescension or shortcuts.
When Jackie negotiates on your behalf, she brings 15 years of transactional experience to the table. She knows which concessions to push for, when to hold firm, and how to structure an offer that wins in a competitive Queens market — and she explains every move in language you fully understand.
