My husband and I worked with Jay for a couple of months on a condo purchase in Bellingham. Throughout the process, he was absolutely amazing! He was exceptionally responsive and a good listener, and shared listings with us that fit what we had discussed, without trying to sway us in other directions. He was more than happy and patient to show us any listing that we had an interest in, and then had excellent, knowledgeable feedback when we had questions about properties. During the offer process, he and his team were tremendously responsive as well - we asked for a chimney inspection, for example, and he was resourceful in finding an inspector and getting it set up well within the deadlines necessary. Ultimately, when the inspection and HOA disclosures suggested the property was not a good fit for our goals and risk profile, Jay listened to us and provided honest insights without just trying to close a sale. Throughout the whole process, Jay was communicative, respectful, kind, insightful and transparent. He knows the market well and listens to his clients first. We would absolutely use him again for any transaction we would consider in the area.

Working with Jay to buy our first home blew our expectations out of the water. From the very beginning, he took the time to really get to know us - not just what we wanted in a house, but who we are as people. He asked thoughtful questions, listened carefully, and used that insight to guide us toward homes that genuinely fit our lifestyle and wish list. Jay was always willing to work around our hectic schedules to get to showings, would answer our questions late at night, and helped us craft the perfect offer knowing we had competition - and we GOT IT. He had great insight into the market and truly made sure we were getting the best deal for us without pushing our limits or compromising on what was important. Jay was there the whole way with patience, guidance, and a sense of calm that made the whole process feel much less daunting. If you're looking for someone who will truly have your back, work tirelessly on your behalf, and make the experience feel personal and positive, Jay is your guy. We cant recommend him highly enough! In fact, we already recommended him to a family member who is having an equally positive experience. Thanks, Jay!

Jay is efficient, empathetic, and effective! Jay came very highly recommended from a trusted friend and now we know why! My husband and I fell in love with a house in Bellingham and Jay ushered us through the buying process seamlessly. Most notably, Jay possesses a sensitivity to timeliness (including a Sunday night phone call to finalize the offer), professionalism (every question we had was answered confidently and definitively), and a friendly warm disposition that made the entire process approachable. Jay also impressed us with his network. He match-made the right lender and had solid referrals for movers, painters, designers, etc. We would most certainly work with Jay again and highly recommend him to our family and friends!

Knowledgeable, respectful, and responsive! This is my second time working with Jay and I can't wait to work with him again. Enough said? Jay makes you feel very comfortable with the whole process, no matter what step you are in. He takes all his available information and lets you digest with no pressure. I always feel like I am in full control with Jay there as a partner to get the most of what you want in selling or buying.
