Great Agent

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.

Jay's knowledge of the area and communication and professionalism was excellent throughout. It made things so much easier for us as out of town buyers. We would recommend him as an agent.

Our experience with Jay was amazing, to our amazement Jay sold our home in 1 day. He guided us thru the experience with absolute professionalism and was always available to answer any questions we had. Nothing was ever a problem.

Awesome agent and highly recommend.

We have been in touch with Jay since arriving in Kerikeri, so have had a few updates over the years of our property. He has his finger on the pie of the market here in the north. Always easy to contact and communicate with. Highly recommend Jay Prestt.

I cannot recommend Jay highly enough as a real estate agent. He worked tirelessly for us when it came to selling our late father's property. This was a difficult time for the family as we lived some distance away in another part of NZ. Jay was in constant contact regarding viewings and always promptly returned our calls and answered our questions. During this stressful time Jay was very patient and caring in his dealings with us. He explained things thoughtfully during the entire process and we always felt he was doing his utmost best to get the best result for us - we never felt we were getting 'the hard sell' treatment. He even used a leaf blower to tidy up the deck area for us before each viewing... I'm not sure how many other agents would voluntarily do that. I thank Jay for his service and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an agent they can trust.

It was a pleasure to work with Jay when we recently purchased our home in Kerikeri. There were some unexpected problems along the way and Jay dealt with everything in a professional manner keeping us in the loop every step of the way. Nothing was too much trouble for him. We found his local knowledge was a bonus too as we were moving from out of town, he was very helpful with any queries. We would be happy to recommend Jay to anyone in need of a local real estate professional as he is super easy to deal with.

Excellent Service and Communication

Jay was very professional with the purchase of this property. As we are not based in Kerikeri - Jay handled the purchase and kept us informed with frequent updates. We are very happy with the service from Jay and hope to do more deals in the future.

Selling a home is a stressful time, and when that is compounded by a death, it becomes even more so. During this time, Bill and Jay were businesslike, but also very considerate, and gave me extra support by enabling documents to be printed and forwarded, for which I am very grateful. They listened to my concerns, and offered helpful advice. Thank you

Jay Priestt - Real Estate Agent

Jay has a good knowledge of the local sales and markets. He was awesome to work with and was in constant communication with us. He kept us up to date with weekly reports and summaries, letting us know how viewings were going and the interest shown. Very accommodating and helpful, sharing suggestions as to what may work to draw further purchasers. Always welcomed our input. We had a lot of contracts that never were completed but Jay never gave up and continued to work hard for us to secure a sale. Would highly recommend his services.
