About

My Approach is Simple.

I treat my clients exactly how I'd like to be treated. I don't like to be pressured, so I never pressure my clients. I like to be treated kindly, so I always bring a positive attitude. I don't let people down with empty promises, so I do exactly what I say. I appreciate it when people answer the phone, so I answer my phone! It sounds dead simple, but I am amazed at how many people simply don't follow these life's simple rules.

Because I approach real estate service this way, my clients and I form a great team from the get-go, and we get the results we want while enjoying the journey. I call my approach Mindfulness in Real Estate, and I believe being mindful and passionate about my work is what sets me apart and sets my clients up for success time and time again.

No matter your buying or selling needs, I'm confident that I can deliver a high level of service to help you reach your goals. You will want to refer me to your friends!

Ratings & Reviews

Nicholas Henery

Jay far exceeded any expectations my wife and I had in a realtor. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and most importantly, he gets things done. We met with Jay for the first time, sharing what we were looking for, etc., and 3 days later we were under contract to buy a home we absolutely loved! Jay was extremely efficient - he was prompt in answering any questions we had throughout the process. Ultimately, he took a situation that could have been quite stressful and turned it into a breeze. We’ve been in our new home for several months now and could not be happier - thank you Jay!

Jay also helped my wife and I sell our condo. He was right on the money in setting a listing price, and we received a full price offer within days of the listing. We highly recommend Jay to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He is everything you’ll want out of a realtor, and what’s more, he’s just a great guy! If you’re looking for a realtor, look no further - you won’t regret going with Jay.

Harold Rager

Jay is far and away the best realtor we have ever worked with. We had to move before our house was listed, and Jay took care of everything, getting it ready for sale, and arranging for work that had to be done. Whenever we needed to contact him, he always promptly responded, and he made an extra effort always to keep us updated during the sales process. What was most impressive was the easy give and take we had, when it came to decisions about pricing, or accepting offers from buyers, or deciding on what to do about our buyer's contingency requests. Simply put, Jay got the job done, was easy to work with, and made an always difficult process easy.
