    Trusted Advisor for Buying and Selling Jay was our realtor for buying our new home and Stacey on his team worked with us on selling our old one. The guidance of Jay and his team was exceptional throughout both transactions. We particularly appreciated his straightforward honesty and well-researched advice on every decision point. His rigorous market research enabled us to price our sale perfectly and make a confident offer on our purchase. Jay's negotiating skills are top-notch, ensuring we maximized our gains on the sale and secured the best terms when buying. Furthermore, his reliable recommendations for contractors saved us immense time and stress. We highly recommend Jay for anyone seeking a knowledgeable and truly trustworthy partner in real estate.

    Alex was our realtor for both our main home sale as well as my son's condo. The strategy Alex used to sell our home directly led to an over-asking-price offer on the fist day of listing! This was phenomenal. Alex is very professional and went the extra mile to help us make sure the homes were in great shape for showings and for the closing. If he ever gives you decore or presentation/showing advice, take it!! He is a good communicator, is willing to be flexible with seller concerns and is the right person to have on your side when speakng to the other agents regarding potential offers. He knows how to get the job done. We were very pleased, we highly recommend him and would use his services again.

    Jay did a great job for us, from start to finish! He was knowledgeable, responsive in his communication, and willing to negotiate for an agreeable price. He handled the repairs required for closing, utilizing his vast contact list. He introduced us to our real estate attorney and continually followed up/followed through, especially when dealing with the lender. Thanks to Jay, we were able to close in a timely manner!

    Alex was a pure joy to work with. He made the process of buying and selling a home a smooth process. From our first meeting with him, we felt Alex had done his homework with comparables and a game plan for selling our home. Alex set up a portal of properties with our wish list and called us every week to set up times to view new properties. Alex went above and beyond to get us the condo we purchased. He also came to our aid the morning of our house closing to come up with a quick solution when water was found in the basement. Alex's professionalism is top notch and his advice for staging our house resulted in a very quick sale with an over asking offer. We could not have asked for a better realtor to work with. We highly recommend Alex if you are buying or selling. We are extremely grateful for choosing Alex.

    Jay is an absolute rockstar! We recently sold our rental property in Chicago and Jay made the entire process seamless. Not only did he expertly handle negotiations, but he also went above and beyond to help us with repairs and renovations. He connected us with top-notch contractors and oversaw the entire process, taking a huge weight off our shoulders. Jay's expertise, communication, and dedication made what could have been a stressful experience incredibly easy. If you're looking for a realtor who truly has your back, look no further than Jay! Highly recommend!

    FAQ

    Answered Questions

    What can I do if I have concerns with my agent?

    Hi Michelle, there is something that appears to be spooking the buyers. Any inspection issues that you need to fix. The agent wants to earn a commission and would sabotage the deal. Find out why. You also have an attorney representing you. What did they say?
