I first met Jay over 15 years ago when my boss at the time recommended Jay. I was looking to buy a condominium in Richmond. I had a large dog, which was a problem then, and limited funds. I found a fantastic condominium in the heart of Richmond, on a quiet street, across from a park, and in a beautifully maintained building. I was very impressed with Jay’s calm pleasant nature, and his knowledge. Even though I looked at a lot of places Jay was never impatient or rushed. Jay attended to every detail of my new home purchase and I felt confident that the purchase was all in good order. When it came time to sell my condo and buy a town house, Jay was my first choice to look after the sale and purchase.
Since then Jay has been my agent for the purchase and sale of my townhouse in Langley, and the purchase and sale of my house in Langley. With Jay’s expertise I was able to sell my townhouse as prices were peaking and purchase a freehold house before the detached home sales peaked.
Recently, I sold my house as I am moving out of the area. I was again impressed with the work that Jay put into this sale. He had researched and collected all permits and data regarding the house, he had all the answers and documents for the buyer ahead of time, which expedited the sale and created a relationship of good will with the buyer. Jay’s negotiating skills are impressive, as he not only has my respect but also the respect of the buyers’ and their agents.
For over 15 years and the purchase and sale of three properties I have found Jay to be professional, ethical, and pleasant to work with. I believe that these qualities have been crucial in both my purchases and sales of properties.
