What clients say about this agent....
Jay is a truly an expert at selling homes. He has a very comprehensive process orchestrated with a well established, professional team to position your home for sale at the right price, that is well prepared for showings and generates offers quickly. His vast experience guided us from selecting the right time to list our home through insightful negotiation and sale of our house. By following the advice of Jay and his team, we sold our home within our desired timeframe at our desired price!
Jay has been really helpful to help me sell the house. In the preparation phase, Jay brought in a several contacts to help with some of the repairs and staging preparation. The work was done nicely. The house turned out to be great when we put it to the market. Jay also helped quite a bit after we receive feedback from the buyer for some fixes. He helped me find good plumbers, electricians and other. You can trust his network with a very good offering.
Jay Reid did a great jobs selling my home. Jay and his team were familiar with the local housing market, including pricing, and understood my needs.He was quick to respond to all my questions, and the whole process went smoothly . From staging the home, to negotiating price, to final closing , everything was done without a hitch.
Jay Reid as always is right on point. He did it again. We first met him when he helped us with buying our first home, the first thing he asked from us was to trust him and thats what we did. He was very thorough, he explained to us what to expect with the current housing market. He walked us through the process. His team of professionals helped us from the day one up to the final day. To Jay and the whole team thank you very much!!!!
Jay accomplished the following which I strongly believe contributed successfully to the sale of my home:- Accurately assessed the market and priced the home realistically.- Recommended a certified appraisal to help reinforce the value of the property and facilitate the sale at the price range desired.- Requested that I itemize all recent improvements made to the property which were extensive and significant to the long term value of the home.- Created a strong digital merchandising program that included compelling text, videography and drone imaging.- Provided a pro and con perspective during negotiations without driving a meretricious, self-serving agenda.- Effectively handled administrative tasks through the sales and post-sales process.Altogether, very pleased with the outcome and experience.
Jay was a pleasure to work with. We've done so now on two purchases and one sale. Jay was absolutely crucial for us through the process of listing and negotiating the sale of our home. He knew exactly where to price it to gain interest and keep it. He knew exactly the right way to respond to multiple offers that came in and helped choose the right one. Everything went smoothly. We loved the professional photography he provided including drone video which really helped sell our home. We would absolutely recommend Jay to anyone. Thank you!
We highly recommend Jay. He was instrumental in guiding to ready the house for maximum sales potential. Considering we'd lived in the house for more than 30 years, his advice and resources on strategic upgrades was invaluable. He also negotiated the maximum price with skill and expertise. He was extremely responsive to our many questions as first time home sellers and went out his way in many ways to assure we got the top dollar for our house. Thanks Jay!
The reason I picked Jay over a few other Realtors was that he came off as earnest in our 1st meeting. I had no idea about homes other than that I am in the market for one. I knew sales was his job but he always maintained the sale was not important, what was important was my experience and happiness. Throughout the househunting experience, he had always been upfront and transparent, an advisor when he needed to be and a challenger when the time called for it. Jay had been ultra responsive, very thoughtful, great with local knowledge, reporting and analysis and negotiations. Cherry on top, Jay personally helped me when I hit a few snags, with his resourcefulness. Excellent experience, I highly recommend Jay and his team.
Jay has made our home buying experience very smooth. He is very knowledgeable and has made it easy for us to choose not only the home we wanted but the right home for me and my wife. Very patient when it comes to us asking all kinds of questions and is also very honest and straight forward with his answers. He even worked with us with the new IHDA program. If you want the RIGHT home for your family, and a smooth process on your home search, then I definitely recommend jay as your realtor. He's been doing it for a long time and has all the knowledge in the books to help you find the home you want and need! :)
Highly recommend! Jay is extremely patient and understanding. My husband and I never sold a house before and Jay was so helpful during the entire process. He even gave us tips on things to fix and how to do them. He gave us his honest feedback on houses we were looking at. We knew he was truly trying to help us make the right decision and not just trying to make a sale. The house we ended up buying wasnt even a house we originally wanted to see! But because Jay knew what we wanted he found the perfect house for us! Hes extremely knowledgeable about the area and not afraid to ask questions to the towns he wasnt as familiar in. He even called the town we are currently living in to make sure they treat the water behind our house as we had mentioned it was a concern of ours. 5 stars!!!
