Jay is an excellent agent to deal with - he is knowledgeable, professional, calm, friendly, quick to respond to queries and always ready to help and advise. I have no hesitation in recommending Jay, and the team he works with, to sell a property.

It was a pleasure working with Jay. His communication was clear, prompt and professional throughout. Nothing was ever a hassle, and while he represented his vendors best interests we genuinely felt he was doing his best for us to. I recommend Jay to anyone wanting a seasoned agent who offers a personal and genuine approach.


Great knowledge of the Kerikeri area, very patient and kept you up to date with the agreements. Pleased to have met face to face with him early in the process as we do not live in the area. Many thanks to Jay and to our local agents Ian and Cheryl for recommending him.

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 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.

We knew right from the start that we could trust Jay to do his very best for us with the sale of our home. His diligence, professionalism and calm nature made us feel well supported at every stage. We highly reccommend Jay to anyone selling their property!

Jay has the unique ability to " Read the Room" and fully understands that one approach does not fit all.
