Agent went the extra mile

We sold our family holiday home up at the Bay of Islands using Jay. For us in Auckland it was a three hour drive to get to the house, and so we are very appreciate of Jay's efforts in helping us find locals to waterblast and clean the house, amongst other things. He got a great price for us at auction, and expertly managed the myriad of competing family interests. We recommend Jay unconditionally.

Jay's interactions with us were very professional and helpful.

Jay acted professionally at all times and he certainly did help to mediate without prejudice between the sellers and us, the buyers, to arrive at the agreed sale/purchase price. He has continued to be helpful and communicative and has bridged the communication gap between sellers and buyers during the conditional period of the contract. A property sale/purchase is for many of us the most significant and high value transaction that we will negotiate and can be stressful at times. If you are looking for a professional and ethical real estate agent, you will be fortunate to have a realtor like Jay Prestt to help you to navigate from contracting to settlement.

Professional and Personable

Jay had a firm knowledge of current market trends and communicated this very well. His manner was very polite, and he listened to comments and remarks made to him, responding to questions with thoughtful answers. He would seek advice if he wasn't able to answer a question to my satisfaction, showing that he was genuinely interested at giving me the best information to hand.

Great Agent

I purchased my first home through Jay and he was very helpful in guiding me through the process. I had never read a sale and purchase agreement before, and he had no trouble answering any and all questions I had on the document. I can also attest to his honesty as I late found out a work colleague had also made an offer on the same house. All of the information he gave me on previous declined offers (that he was at that point allowed to give me) were entirely truthful. People say you can't trust real estate agents. My experience with Jay suggests he's the exception.
