Truly Cares
As a first-time homebuyer, l Was hervous about starting the process, but working with Jay has been such a relief. From day one, he took the time to explain everything clearly and really listened to what I was looking for. What stood out most was how proactive he was— he connected me with Envoy Mortgage and helped me explore the best mortgage options based on my situation. I never felt rushed or overwhelmed. Jay truly cares about finding the right fit, not just any home. I'm early in the journey, but with Jay's guidance, I feel confident and excited for what's ahead!

Thorough, Patient, Knowledgable
I recently moved to Sedona to start a new job managing a hotel. I was referred to Jay by our human resources director. Thorough, patient, knowledgeable and full of energy to help. We look forward to the homes he chooses for us to see. So far this is better than the show house hunters!
