About Jay

Jay has been selling real estate since 2017 and really enjoys working with so many wonderful people across the Far North. Over the last financial year, Jay was fortunate enough thanks to many fantastic clients to achieve the No.1 in the group for client experience, second for settled sales, third for exclusive listings, and second for marketing exposure across the Far North. His philosophy has never changed with a focus on being honest and personable with people by giving candid information to them. This honesty, in conjunction with detailed feedback, gives sellers the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. It sounds simple because it is, most don’t do what they promise and that’s where Jay stands out from the crowd.

About Trevor

Having lived in Northland for 20 years, I am still amazed at the beauty of the region and what it offers. I feel privileged to have access to this coastal and rural paradise. People are the key resource of any business and are what the real estate transaction is all about. Happy purchasers and satisfied vendors are the driving force behind my commitment to the industry. After 10 years in the real estate business I continue to enjoy repeat business from past and present customers and clients. The importance of marketing and the process of negotiation, both essential parts of real estate, keep me upskilling and fresh in this constantly evolving marketplace. I am committed to this process and if I can assist others in sharing the beauty of the Far North as an adventure playground for all levels of property ownership, then I am doing a job I value as far more than ‘the daily grind’.

Thankyou to Jay Prestt

We sincerely thank Jay for his very professional yet friendly manner. He has great listening skills and puts your mind at ease at quite a stressful time. On top of that, his hard work had our property sold within 1 month of listing; with another buyer waiting in the wings, who could ask for more. We wouldn’t hesitate recommending Jay Prestt to anyone.

Jay delivered professional, supportive service, keeping us informed and confident.

It has been wonderful working with Jay to sell our home. Communication was professional and helpful, we received regular updates about interested buyers and their level of interest. These updates helped us feel confident to move ahead with future plans while the house was listed. Viewings were well attended for the location. Jay listened to what we wanted and offered advice when we sought it. He helped us to aim high while keeping realistic expectations. Jay made himself available at times that suited us. We would 100% recommend Jay as agent!

We approached a few agents and were the sincerity of Jay and Trevor from Harcourts Kerikeri. We placed the sale of our property in Jay's hands and had some very enlightening open homes of which Jay kept us fully informed. Throughout the marketing of our property, we had updates every few days from Jay. This led to a successful sale of the property close to his recommended value. We recommend Jay and Harcourts of Kerikeri to anyone looking to sell as they will give you an honest up front opinion from the start and good advise throughout. Many Thanks, Jay. Pat and Jo
