Jay Friedman

Jay Friedman is a top-performing REALTORA(R) and Team Lead/Partner of the Turner DeMarco + Friedman Team at eXp Realty. With more than 20 years of experience and over 1,700 homes personally sold, Jay has built his career around experience, communication, perseverance, and an unwavering commitment to his clients. His 1,700+ closed transactions represent his personal sales and do not include the many additional transactions he has helped his team successfully navigate over the years.

Jay's track record speaks for itself. He is a lifetime member of the Placer County Association of REALTORSA(R) Masters Club, was inducted into the RE/MAX International Hall of Fame in 2010, and was recognized by HomeLight as one of the Top 40 REALTORSA(R) in the Sacramento Valley. His team has also achieved significant national success, including being ranked the #1 team for HomeSmart International in 2018 after ranking #3 nationally in sales volume in both 2016 and 2017. Since joining eXp Realty in 2021, Jay has also been a year-over-year ICON Award recipient, recognizing his continued production and contribution within the company.

In July 2021, Jay joined forces with Val Turner and Gail DeMarco at eXp Realty to build an even stronger team and provide an even higher level of service to their clients. The team's success is built on perseverance, knowledge, communication, follow-through, and a genuine commitment to doing what is best for the people they represent.

Approximately 90% of Jay's business comes from past clients and referrals. He believes that says more about his business than any award ever could. His clients know they can count on him to answer their questions, stay involved throughout the process, communicate consistently, and do what he says he is going to do. Jay also has long-standing relationships with REALTORSA(R) throughout the Sacramento Valley and surrounding foothills and is known as someone other agents enjoy working with. Those relationships can be especially valuable when negotiating and navigating the many details involved in getting a transaction successfully closed.

Whether you are selling a longtime family home, buying your first home, moving into something larger, downsizing, or relocating to the Sacramento region, Jay brings the experience, local knowledge, responsiveness, and personal attention needed to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Jay grew up in Roseville and has spent most of his life in the Sacramento Valley and surrounding foothills. After college and four years working in Corporate America, Jay and his wife, Christina, made the decision to move back to the area they loved so they could be closer to family and eventually raise their own family here. Jay began his real estate career in January 2005 and now lives in Granite Bay with Christina and their children, Eliza and Calvin.

Real estate is more than a job for Jay-it is his career, and he takes that responsibility seriously. He enjoys helping people navigate what can be one of the most stressful financial decisions of their lives while making the experience as organized, straightforward, and successful as possible.

If you're considering buying or selling a home, Jay would be happy to sit down with you, answer your questions, and talk through your goals. There is no pressure and no obligation-just an opportunity to see if Jay and his team are the right fit for you.
