View All ListingsJay was referred to us by a dear neighbor, and after our first conversation, I knew he was the right person to handle the sale of our investment property. We had already gone through two unsuccessful attempts with other agents who were unable to get the transaction across the finish line. Jays professionalism, expertise, and confidence immediately stood out, giving us the assurance that our property was finally in the right hands. Hes an amazing knowledgeable and result oriented professional who made an arduous transaction process go seamlessly through from start to finish. I will definitely use him again in the future.
Working with Jay was such an amazing experience! He really knows the local market inside and out, which was a huge help when we were trying to figure out a location within our budget for our new home. As first-time home buyers, Jay walked us through every single step and answered all our questions without hesitation. He stayed super involved from start to finish and never left us hanging. We loved all the updates and supportaEUR"it was so nice knowing exactly where things stood as we went through this process. Jay is friendly, easy to talk to, and always had solid advice whenever we had questions or needed more information. If you're looking for an agent who is on your team and makes the whole process feel easy, Jay Hopping is your guy. We couldnt be more grateful for how everything turned out, thanks to Jay and his incredible expertise and professionalism.
Jay Hopping is a very detailed and knowledgeable agent. He always got back with me in a timely manner. He advised me as to what would help sell our property quickly-and he was right. The transaction went so smoothly I could hardly believe it. I have sold other properties but this was by far the easiest. Jay is honest and he gave me 110% at all times. Without reservation I would recommend Jay Hoppng for listing your home for sale or helping you to find the home of your dreams.
I don't even know where I should start, but to put it simply Jay is the best agent you will ever find. My husband and I were first time homebuyers looking to escape our renting situation. We wanted something specific- a single family in OC with good, original mid century charm. Jay was able to guide us and most importantly was always honest. He was insanely good at calling the numbers, giving the facts but still gave space for us to make our own decisions. His communication was incredible. He fought hard for us on any home we offered on- literally day and night- and we felt confident competing against all cash offers with him by our side. We landed in the perfect home for us, even in the insane market that was Feb-March 2022. He was the best part of the process and we could not be more thankful.
Jay came highly recommended by two friends who had done business with him in the past. I was looking for a real estate agent to go to bat for me as I was looking to sell my home in Pasadena, CA. Jay came in with a solid plan for marketing and a goal for a price point that he wanted to sell the house at. From start to finish Jay was communicative, straight up and honest about what we needed to do to get top dollar for the home. He made sure the house was well represented to potential buyers. Once we got our best offer in he worked hard to negotiate terms that benefited us, the sellers. The deal went so smoothly we were blown away. And happy to report the house was sold for top dollar. Jay is a powerhouse and I highly recommend him as an agent.
Jay went ABOVE and BEYOND to make our sale of our homes. He is #1 and BEYOND! The BEST realtor you could have working for you. He is HONEST, VERY KIND and a GO GET IT DONE guy. MANY THANK YOU JAY
Jay was fantastic to work with. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and diligent throughout the entire selling process. Upon listing our home on a Friday, Jay quickly went to work and by Sunday night we had several offers way above listing price. He also negotiated down the credits we offered to the buyer for repairs we didn't want to make. I would highly recommend using Jay Hoping if you want to sell or buy a home in Orange County.
Jay was very professional and helpful during our relocation to Orange County. He's very knowledgeable on the area. Will be recommending to all friends and family!!
I hired Jay on the recommendation of my neighbor who was very pleased with the service and results that he received from Jay. Jay consistently goes above and beyond any real estate professional I have ever used. His attention to detail and ability to negotiate far exceeded my highest expectations. Jay's vast and seasoned experience were apparent on every occasion that we interacted. He brings his best for you which is why I used him to not only sell my previous home but also when purchasing my new one. Jay knows the current market and the surrounding area. He is 5 stars in all categories. I would recommend Jay to anyone I know looking for or selling their home. I would personally use Jay's expertise again without hesitation.
Jay made the entire process an absolute pleasure, from staging the home we were selling to helping us move into our new home. We had lived in our home for 18 years and we were not experienced in home selling nor buying. Jay made himself available 24/7 and guided us every step of the way. Jay's knowledge, experience, confidence, follow up, and communication skills made this process a breeze. We never had a doubt in his ability and couldn't be happier with how everything ended up. Thanks Jay for everything!!!
Initially, I came to Jay looking for a 3 bedroom rental for my mom, my son and myself. After a few weeks of looking at over 12 properties and getting denied for every rental we applied for (getting pushed out by other applicants with more income than we had collectively), Jay suggested we look into buying, and that he could get us into something for exactly what we would be paying in rent (our MAX budget was $3K per month). I had never considered buying because as a single mother, I didn't think it would be possible, but of course, this was a no brainer and it couldn't hurt to try. We got pre-approved from a lender and within 1 month, we went from looking for rentals to closing escrow on a beautifully upgraded condo (that we got under asking), EXACTLY within our budget. Jay was amazing throughout the entire process from start to finish. He was patient, thorough, knowledgeable and there for us at any time throughout the day/week to answer all our questions and concerns. Buying a home can be a stressful process but Jay made it easy and painless. He went above and beyond for us and it is clear to see why he is the best! Would highly recommend Jay to anyone looking to purchase a new home or a rental property. We will continue to use Jay for all our future real estate needs!
We were very happy with the way that Jay lead us through our 1st home purchase. Jay fought tooth and nail to get us the best deal possible. He was very insightful through his communication with the listing agents in gauging the limits of the seller and briefing us on what to expect. He was very knowledgeable and provided sound advise throughout the entire process.
I am a single mom and Jay helped me and my daughters find a house that was perfect for us ! He is trustworthy and honest , and very knowledgeable about every aspect of buying a house . He was always available when I had questions and if he didn't know the answer right away, he would find it !
Jay has been a great agent! From search to closure he was available and looking out for my best interest. Jay was helpful in identify the house market I was interested in. He setup an automated search in the market area I was looking in. He got me in contact with the my sellers agent to broker and offer and championed my interest through assessment, appraisal and forming an offer. He also help me to identify good insurance agents and to research multiple sources for coverage.
Jay has been working with my wife and I to find us a new home in South Orange County. He is very experienced and knowledgeable with this housing market. He has gone out of his way to provide us with many home choices to look at. My wife and I, have been extremely impressed with his high level of professionalism and follow through!
Jay went above and beyond to find us the perfect rental home. We weren't easy clients to find a home for, but Jay really went the extra mile for us. We had a lot of realtors to choose from, but once we talked to Jay, it was a pretty easy choice for us to work with him. If a day went by without him checking in with us, believe me it was because he was working hard for our interests in the meantime. He was so patient with my many questions and stuck to our criteria wholeheartedly, even working to find us a home better than we expected. I was worried about not having a personal hand in the process of talking to agents/homeowners, but that was completely unnecessary as he did a way better job than I ever could. He is direct and easy to talk to, and he handled our concerns professionally and with care. It is rare that you find someone who truly cares about their clients--it's pretty easy to spot inauthenticity the older you get, and Jay was transparently genuine with us about finding us a home we were happy with. I couldn't be more grateful for all the hard work he did for us, and even better was that his incredible work ethic helped expedite the process for us much more than we had anticipated. I couldn't recommend him more highly-- for his reliability, genuineness, strong work ethic, patience, and ambition. We couldn't be happier with his work.
I want to say a big thank you to Jay for not only being able to negotiate down the price, but also how responsive he was by phone and text. He always made himself available to answer all my questions.

I cannot say enough about what a hardworking and dedicated realtor we found in Jay Hopping. Jay could not have been more professional and patient with our search in Foothill Ranch. He has a much deeper experience and vast knowledge base than we have not found in previous realtors we have tried. We were fortunate to be paired with Jay and I personally consider myself lucky. Jay brings a service that you won't find in other realtors. It is apparent that he is excellent at his job and enjoys what he does for a living. He brings a refreshing dedication into his work and it shows. In Jay we found the process of finding exactly what we wanted to be enjoyable, it didn't feel like the tedious process we expected. If you want someone knows and understands then Jay is your guy. It's obvious that he has broad market experience in addition, Jay has an appreciation of where has been and where it is going. You will get a solid education with Jay. His opinions proved so very valuable in our many searches and we just could not have been as successful as we were without him. Jay is the representative you want whether you buying or selling a home. He makes himself available when you need him and no question is too unimportant for him. He is dedicated to helping you and wants you to succeed in finding the right home for you. I will use Jay again and again, I highly recommend using him and his services.
