Jay has helped me with three different real estate transactions now, and has been invaluable every time. He takes the time to make recommendations that he knows are tailored to my needs. I trust Jay immensely and I know I can always rely on his experience and insight. When I sold my last house he predicted the speed and details exactly. I know that having Jay on my side will make everything go 100x more smoothly because he catches the little details that others miss. 2023
I really can't say enough good things about Jay. He was extremely friendly and helpful; and also responsive. He responded promptly to all of our inquiries and walked us through a difficult process without a ripple. He had our house sold in under a week and got us in touch with a buyer's agent in our new state. Highly recommend! 2023
Initially called Jay to get some info about selling my house during the pandemic. He responded almost immediately and setup a time to come over and talk about it. He showed up with all kinds of info, stats and a big smile. The next thing I knew, the house was listed and prospective buyers were streaming thru. My house sold in 2 days way above the asking price. And it was all due to Jay's go-to attitude and expertise. He kept us in the loop on every detail. It was an amazing experience. Would highly recommend him to anyone. He has a real sixth sense on how to deal with people and what to expect from the current market. 2020
My husband and I used Jay back in 2014 to buy our first home. He was recommended to us through friends who too used him to purchase their first home. He exceeded ever expectation. I'd heard horror stories of realtors that don't listen to their clients, don't explain the process and don't have patience for first time home owners. Jay went above and beyond when showing us homes. He listened to mine and my husband's request but made sure to show us other options too just to make sure that's what we were really looking for. He pointed out things that are important to look at and what that could mean long term (cracks in the foundation). He was there every step of the way. He responded quickly to our questions either via email or text. Even years later I have sent him emails asking his opinion on home remodeling, which he was happy to answer. We were blessed to have been referred such an amazing realtor that I have and will continue to recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell. 2014
I was referred to Jay by an HR rep at my place of employment when I moved to KC for a new job. We had to wait for my old house to sell before I could be a serious home buyer, in the meantime he made sure he understood what I was looking for and sent suggestions my way to consider. Then the minute it sold, he went right to work scheduling appointments for me to see houses that I wanted to see. The house I liked best needed some work and he helped me determine a fair offer that was accepted. I highly recommend him every chance I get. He is more than a realtor, he is a generous and giving friend and advocate as well. 2016
Jay is the best of the best! We've worked with him twice - as a buyer and as a seller - and both times he's had our best interests at heart.
As a first time home buyer, my husband and I had absolutely no idea what to do but Jay made the process so simple and stress free. He took the time to learn and understand our needs and he educated us on the process along the way.
When we worked with Jay to sell our first home, he fought hard to make sure we were getting a fair deal and made sure our home was show ready. He communicated the good and the bad and made sure we understood what our next steps / options were.
Jay's knowledge of the industry is unmatched and it shows by the network of industry leaders he has at his side (mortgage officers, home inspectors, contractors, etc.). We've referred Jay to our friends and family and he's made them just as happy as he has us. Jay is not just our realtor, he's a trusted friend. 2017
Jay has been our realtor twice now, and once for my in-laws as well. He always has a plethora of information about potential houses and never rushed us when looking at different locations. He has a calming, laid-back personality that takes some of the anxiety out of the buying/selling process. Even though our houses were not "high-end," Jay never treated us differently than his more affluent clients and I've always respected him for that.
Buying a house is stressful enough as it is. Do yourself a favor and let Jay help you with the process. You won't regret it! 2015
Jay O'Brien went far above and beyond our expectation as a realtor finding us a nice house and getting it's price to one we were happy with, as well as when we ran into some issues with the mortage company. He was consistent, informative, patient, and listened to all of our concerns and desires well. I will use him in the future. 2016
