“Jay was invaluable in helping me direct a daughter in her search for buying her first house in California - a daunting task! He was able to help me hook up with another realtor in the daughter's neighborhood and we are all highly pleased with finally making our first-time home buyer's dream come true. Thanks, Jay!” (Bonita)

This dear lady and her daughter came to me after multiple agents failed to help. My license allows me to sell real estate throughout California. But no good agent will go outside their sphere of knowledge and network. I am connected to real estate professionals around the planet. Literally.

“I would strongly recommend Jay to anyone how is looking for a knowledgeable realtor with high integrity, extremely flexible and very patient in choosing a property that is just right for you even if it takes years of searching like in my case. I have known Jay for over 8 years initially as a colleague and lately as his client. We have been looking for a house for nearly 3 years and not once did Jay push us in one direction or the other but be there for us every step of our search. One phone call about an intersted property and we would be seeing it within 24 hours or arranged to see it. An extremely patient man. Finally after 3 years of search we recently bought a home through Jay. The process was smooth. He has a very strong network of service providers to make your process smooth. He is very knowledgable about contracts, clauses, legal requirements etc. Was very helpful in writting and responding to offers/counter offers protecting our interest every step of the way. He is an extremely ethical gentleman. Needless to say I highly recommend Jay.” (KB)

This man and his family, like all of us, have a timeline. Stuff happens and that timeline has to change. I cannot force myself on anyone and these dear people called back when they could resume. They are a joy.
“Jay, a friend for over three years, is devoted to his family, friends, clients and his business. He offers thorough knowledge of the real industry and has enviable computer and internet marketing skills. Jay is a business associate whom anyone can trust. (Tom)
There are buyers searching for a family home and there are clients who want to use real estate as an investment mechanism. Been there; doing that. This man knows that my analysis of the data has proven true for him. We’re hooked on each other.

“Working with Jay has been a wonderful experience for us. His patience and outreach helped us tremendously in moving into a home we love. He worked very diligently with us in understanding our wants, our needs, the purpose of our move, our likes/dislikes, and incorporated all these into the homes he selected for us. He was very patient with us and worked closely hand in hand with us at every step. Once we nailed down the home, he represented us very well and ensured we got the right price and in the right time. Thanks Jay. You have been such a wonderful person to work with. Looking forward to many more such partnerships with you.” (AB)

Working with clients requires listening to ALL stakeholders, not just the noisy one.

“We used Jay to purchase a home in the Sacramento area while we were preparing to relocate from Phoenix. Since we were out of state, Jay kept us totally up to date with listings, emails and even his own videos of potential homes which helped us immensely. To say that Jay went above and beyond is an understatement. Sundays, evenings, anytime of day, no problem for Jay. From consultation to closing, Jay was there. Believe me, I hope we never have to move again but if we do or are looking for another home to buy, Jay's number is in speed-dial. Thanks, again, Jay!” (The Chief, and her Husband)

Each and every client, whether they first are related, local, strangers, or just goofy, like me, deserves a special and unique touch. These are great people and it is a pleasure to have them here (and on YouTube forever!)

I have brothers but you can’t have too many. I pray we keep it.

“Jay is quite knowledgeable on the local Sacramento real estate market. But what sets him apart from many others that might make similar claims is his integrity. He puts his buyers' interests before making a quick commission. As a client who took eight months from search to close, toured ~40 homes, and made close to a dozen offers, I can vouch for his patience and diligence. Never once did he utter the phrase "this is the perfect home for you". Which is much appreciated. And by the way, I did end up with the perfect home.” (JB)

Some clients know the inside joke. This client laughs out loud with me.

“Jay was extremely professional with assisting my wife and I in finding a house in Roseville. Jay would be an asset to anyone looking to purchase real estate in the greater Sacramento area. We would highly recommend his services !” (Stu and Banana)

I’m glad we won these folks from the Bay Area! Sacramento 2, Bay Area, 0.
God has blessed me with a great family, a beautiful and smart wife, two healthy and grateful boys, and thousands of friends. My life is full and unforgettable. Our oldest boy asked why I sell real estate. My answer: “Because people need help”. This answer surprised and impressed my son but it only clarified my goal: To make every client a Raving Fan. California real estate law is complex and dangerous. My job is to protect you in your sale and purchase decisions. I take that serious.
Foreign Challenges
It was the very first time I had ever set foot outside of the U.S.A. When I boarded an airplane headed for Holland, it was to spend a year as an Exchange Student — completely immersed in a different culture with an unfamiliar language. I didn’t know I was embarking on one of the greatest adventures of my life. I did know it would not be easy. But as I learned, those challenges were just half of the fun. The other half would be the process of overcoming them. That overseas trip was the first step towards an approach to life and to work that has brought me considerable success over the years.
A Lasting Impact
My Dutch mother was a kindergarten teacher, and it was she who developed the step-by-step process that enabled me to quickly master the Dutch language. It began with simply labeling all the familiar household objects with their Dutch equivalent, then progressed through sentence structure to nightly 2-hour drills. That year spent overseas would have a lasting impact on my life. I now have a second family, a Dutch family, and learned that people were much more alike than different. I gained an ability to communicate with a wide variety of personalities and learned just how adaptable and flexible I could be under “foreign” circumstances. But most important, I discovered that I really enjoyed finding new and creative ways to meet a challenge.

This page is intended to convince you I’m a super-human and you should hire me then refer me to every person you ever meet; ever. That’s a tall order for a web page. Truthfully, this whole web site has that special purpose. This page gives you a personal glimpse of me and WHY you should let me compete for your business. Many clients have helped me achieve a Masters Club level of performance. That is a small collection of colleagues who repeatedly succeed for their clients. Getting to that level is not an easy task. Improving and continually meeting client expectations is how I plan to maintain this level of performance. Let me compete for your business. Neither of us will regret it.
If you are already a client and don’t see your testimonial below, please help me correct that. You know how to reach me. (Actually, anyone on this page knows how to reach me.)
An Impressive Record
I excelled in school and went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where I found an outlet for his problem-solving skills in information technology. I then embarked on a successful tenure in systems architecture and development. I rose from a Systems Engineer to a Business Architect, directing the definition, integration and management of business processes for high tech companies as diverse as EDS and Intel. For me, it was work both challenging and fun because it involved people as much as it did systems. A very important part of the process is having a team that’s highly motivated. I really enjoyed working with and managing teams of people to design and implement effective systems.
Meeting New Challenges
I continue to exercise my special talent for finding creative solutions in my career as a real estate professional. Every day, I work closely with people to help them determine their needs, define their goals and develop the winning course of action for achieving both. I understand that the sale or purchase of a home not only involves a
major investment, but is also one of life’s greatest challenges. That’s why I am so dedicated to ensuring that my clients receive the information, resources and support they deserve to make informed decisions. A veteran myself of the corporate world, I also understands how busy my clients are and how important it is to them to work with someone they can truly rely on to cover every detail. I work very hard to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Your Source for Winning Solutions
As a seasoned investor, I have the uniquely special capability to accurately assess both the value and potential for a property, as well as a wealth of knowledge of and resources for repairs, remodels and upgrades. Buyers and sellers who hire me know they can count on me to keep them informed of the status of their transaction, and they benefit from my use of the latest in telecommunications and computer technology to do so. I understand the priorities of working parents and know that time is at a premium for them. So I have developed the necessary tracking and follow-up systems to ensure that all of my clients are well taken care of throughout every step of the process, from the opening consultation to the final closing. One of the greatest factors in my success is a positive, upbeat attitude. Whatever the problem, I always enjoys the hunt for the right solution.
A sense of humor is one of my favorite tools. The real estate process should be as stress-free as possible, and a good laugh is the quickest route to optimism.
If you’re considering the sale or purchase of a home in Fair Oaks, Folsom, Carmichael or the neighboring communities, call me first. I’m ready to take on any challenge.
