"I hired Jay after getting rid of a company that I didn't feel was doing anything. From the day we hired Jay, I never had that feeling again. He had several ideas to help us. I'd never heard of a "Stager" before, but he brought one in, at his expense, to make recommendations that would make the house more appealing. After the economy kept us from selling, we took the house off the market. A few months later we wanted to try again. My first thought was Jay because he had worked so hard the first time, I felt like that if we sold, I wanted Jay to make the commission because of all his hard work. He and his staff worked hard again, and "SUCCESS". We sold. I would use Jay again without a second thought. We still stay in touch."

"Jay knows real estate. He knows exactly how to price a home and get it sold. He worked very hard to make the deal happen even though there were 11th hour obstacles with my sale, Jay stuck with me and worked out all of the details to make it happen. Jay also made things work on the house that I purchased, it had some last minute details that he was able to quickly address and work out. Jay is someone I trust and would recommend him to anyone that wants an experienced, thorough agent that will give them straight answers. Jay surrounds himself with strong team members that also come thru for the customer. Jay has a great attitude, it was a pleasure doing business with him. You can count on Jay and his team!"

Alicia Meyer - Hanover, PA

Dear Jay, It's now been a year since we moved to Carroll Vista and we love living here. The people of Taneytown are very friendly and you just can't beat small town customer service. That customer service was evident with you as our realtor for both the sale of our existing home and the purchase of our new home. We feel that this was the best decision we could have made. Whenever we hit a snag with the sale of our home you knew just what to say to keep us calm and then concentrated on fixing the problem. George and I believe that we are in our new home today because of the level of service you provided. Our youngest son is looking to buy his first home and we told him "You've got to call Jay". Thanks for everything you've done and stop by any time. You know where we live.

To Prospective Home Sellers, As a family who recently sold our 31 year old home and moved to Carroll Vista, we'd like to recommend Jay Day to be your professional Real Estate Agent. Jay & his team gave us excellent advice in preparing our home for presentation for sale, helped us establish a fair price for our needs and guided us through the process of showings and contract finalization. Prior to our first meeting with Jay, he had researched our area for similar homes to ours that had either sold or were still on the market and was able to guide us in establishing our asking sale price. Jay and his staging assistant helped us arrange our home to make it more presentable to prospective buyers. As the showings took place, we were given feedback on how the prospective buyers felt about our home. When we received a contract proposal, Jay helped us work through the negotiations to the benefit of both parties so that we were able to reach a firm agreement. Jay spent a great deal of time in personal contact with us as the proceedings progressed, even providing contacts who were able to help in making the improvements required by the home inspection. Jay has maintained contact with us long after settlement and we would not hesitate to recommend Jay & his team to sell your home.

Jay had our house sold in 90 days in a down market - and we got full price! I believe Jay's marketing strategy is what made the difference; our house had its own website with a virtual tour that prospective buyers could view before making an appointment to visit our house. I also believe the staging activity that Jay insisted we participate in made a huge difference. At first I was skeptical about following the stager's advice in moving furniture around, but when she was finished, the house truly did look more open and inviting. Every piece of feedback we received from our showings mentioned how nice the house looked! Jay is a true professional who told us up front and very bluntly what our challenges in selling the house would be. He did an excellent job in negotiating the contract for us and at all times was honest and forthright. When we are looking to sell another house, Jay will without a doubt be our realtor again!"

We have sold homes many times and thought that this time would be the same. Call a realtor, figure an asking price, and keep it clean. We were in for a big surprise this time. In March of this year we decided on where we wanted to live (Carroll Vista) and called a few realtors (one of which was Jay Day, suggested by Carroll Vista). After Interviewing we decided that Jay would be the one we wanted based on his knowledge of the market, his personality and frankness. We fought having a stager come in but in the end we were amazed at the results. The house almost looked like a model home in the way the furniture was arranged. Our big surprise was getting to the right price, we had started high and the market was changing week to week. Thanks to Jay he watched and advised. We did everything he suggested to get the price right. In a short time we had a contract and several weeks later 2 more offers. Our Realtor Jay - dependable, caring, knowledge of the market, frankness about what is going on, and his availablity are the traits that we found in him. He was the best in putting pictures online of the house and the flyers were very professional looking on card stock (not paper that doesn't hold up). Forgot to say that he is a great listener. We cannot say enough about how Jay worked with us to get to this point. We feel as though we have found a new and good friend. We were never able to say this in previous home sales.
