Report
Jay was an outstanding agent--quickly and thoroughly responsive, not only during our search but also after the closing when we couldn't get to the house ourselves due to the pandemic. His overall market knowledge and analysis were superb and he worked hard to understand us and our needs and wishes as buyers. His advice on bidding was invaluable and I'm sure we wouldn't have been as successful in this crazy market without his guidance. Jay also has a deep roster of excellent tradesmen of all sorts, many of which we've used and all of which were top notch. Jay is the best of the best and we're grateful
