Why Cypress has two featured agents
Cypress is one ZIP, 90630, but it is not one market. In the three months to September 2026, Redfin's median sale price there was $1,159,707 for detached houses and $779,001 for townhouses, and condos took a median of 66 days to sell against 37 for houses. Sellers range from owners of 1960s tract houses to trustees selling a parent's home, and buyers range from first-time condo buyers to families trading up within the city.
We feature two agents because they come at that market from different bases. One co-owns a small independent brokerage next door in West Garden Grove with a long record near the Cypress border. The other grew up in Cypress and leads a second-generation team inside a multi-office brokerage. This is our recommendation, not a ranking of every agent in the city, so interview more than one agent and check every license yourself.
Jen Tackney (GMT Real Estate)
Jen Tackney (DRE 01373608, licensed since March 2003) is co-owner of GMT Real Estate at 5256 Lampson Avenue, Garden Grove, where her responsible broker is Geoffrey Tackney. RealTrends' verified figures for 2025 credit her with 40 transaction sides and $44.48 million in volume, second in Garden Grove on both measures, and her team's site reports more than 1,200 Southern California homes sold. Her site lists Cypress among the team's communities and shows her as listing agent on a Cypress house on Midway. Read her full profile: Jen Tackney, featured Cypress agent.
Chase Whitney (First Team Real Estate)
Chase Whitney (DRE 01912283, licensed since March 2012) leads The Whitney Team at First Team Real Estate, working from 12501 Seal Beach Boulevard in Seal Beach. His September 2026 press release reports 690 career transactions and $431 million in career volume for the team, listings averaging about 16 days on market since 2020, and annual placement in First Team's Hall of Fame. He grew up in Cypress and is raising his own family there. Read his full profile: Chase Whitney, featured Cypress agent.
Choosing between the two featured Cypress agents
Both agents have long records in and around Cypress, so the choice comes down to fit. These are the differences that usually decide it.
Where each Cypress agent is based
Jen Tackney's office is on Lampson Avenue in ZIP 92845, a short drive from the Cypress line, and her site groups Cypress with West Garden Grove, Seal Beach, Los Alamitos and Rossmoor. Chase Whitney works from First Team's Seal Beach office, and his press releases describe a practice covering Cypress and the surrounding Orange County communities, with a 2026 FastExpert award naming Buena Park and La Palma.
Brokerage structure for each Cypress agent
GMT Real Estate is a small brokerage: the DRE lookup lists Geoffrey Tackney as Jen Tackney's responsible broker at the same Lampson Avenue address, and the team page lists four people. Chase Whitney's responsible broker is First Team Real Estate - Orange County, whose broker license is registered to a Newport Beach address. Ask each who will handle your showings, paperwork and escrow.
Track record of each Cypress agent
Jen Tackney has held a California license since 2003, and RealTrends verifies her 2025 production. Chase Whitney has held his license since 2012 and works in a team his parents founded in 1996; the team's career figures in his press releases cover that whole period. Ask both for a list of closed sales in 90630 that match your home type and price.
Trust, estate and short sales in Cypress
Team Tackney's site lists short sales, foreclosures and VA and FHA buyers among its services and has a page for selling a trust home in Cypress. Chase Whitney's releases stress pricing, presentation and fast communication for sellers. If you are a trustee or heir, ask each how many trust sales they closed last year.
How each agent markets a Cypress home
Chase Whitney hosts the podcast "The 5-Minute Real Estate Fix", wrote "Mastering Real Estate Tech" and sits on Zillow's Agent Advisory Board, so expect a technology-led approach. Team Tackney's site lists neighborhood garage sales, a seller's seminar and a curb appeal award, so expect more local events. Ask each for a sample marketing plan.
How we chose these Cypress agents
For each agent we confirmed the license, status and responsible broker on the DRE public lookup, opened their website, brokerage pages and press releases, checked independent production data where it exists (RealTrends for Jen Tackney), and read their client reviews. Every featured agent passes the same checks. The full method is on how we choose agents.
