Jay was exceptional to work with, a uniquely professional and friendly and meticulous agent. With most agents you'll get 2 out of the 3 if you're lucky but he's very committed to his clients and it showed. Definitely looking forward to working with Jay again soon!

My sister and I had the pleasure of working with Jay on the purchase of two properties, both of which came with very specific requirements that significantly limited our options. Jay was patient, attentive, and persistent in helping us find properties that met our needs. Throughout both transactions, he demonstrated excellent communication and negotiation skills, keeping us informed, addressing concerns promptly, and making sure everything stayed on track. Having worked with a number of Realtors over the years, I can confidently say that Jay stands out for his professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine commitment to his clients. He made what could have been a complicated process remarkably straightforward, and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. We would happily work with Jay again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Robert R, thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for trusting me to help you and your sister purchase two properties! Finding homes with very specific requirements takes patience, persistence, and sometimes a little creativity! I'm glad we found properties that met your needs. As a Tampa Bay area REALTOR®, I believe exceptional buyer representation starts with listening, providing sound advice, negotiating effectively, and communicating clearly from the first conversation through closing. Your kind words mean even more knowing you've worked with other REALTORS® over the years. I truly appreciate your confidence and the opportunity to represent you both.

My husband and I are life-long NJ-ites (Go Giants!) and in our 50’s - we decided to transition to resort-style living in Florida as we grind out our last years prior to retirement and while we can still enjoy the outdoor activities year round! After deciding on the Tampa area, we were referred to Jay by our trusted Realtor in NJ. Referrals are important, but then the trust must be earned after the hand-off…and Jay did just that AND exceeded our expectations! Jay was immediately warm and genuine - he listened to our needs and what we were envisioning for our future home, neighborhood and lifestyle. He made sure to discuss the process in FL upfront, as it differs from NJ and he also made sure to know our budget. Jay provided very detailed market data for the areas we were interested in and was very patient with our questions - if he did not know the answer, he did his research and networked to get the answers we needed. OH, and did I mention that this was all happening remotely! We were mostly in NJ flying down for visits to look at homes over a year and a half span. Jay stuck with us and his diligence and patience never wavered. He ran around the Tampa area with us and kept us on track and assisted us in completing verbal and written summaries on the home options. This made sure we remained focused on our overall needs and did not get overwhelmed or distracted by 1 or 2 gorgeous elements of a home (i.e., our needs around our multiple pets, the fact that we did not want to renovate a whole lot, that we truly did want to be near the water). Our needs were specific and unique, and in the end, Jay steered us to a perfect gated community in Apollo Beach (Mira Bay), a fabulous home on a canal right off the bay - the house, the neighborhood and the community is perfect for us! Jay was truly professional, experienced and responsive. He ensured a smooth buying transaction and provided all the steps, actively communicating to keep us on track with no surprises. He expertly negotiated with the Seller and their agent and we feel we netted a terrific value in our home at a good price. Again, all remotely! The icing on the cake was when we arrived in Tampa the day after closing with our pets in the car, Jay graciously let us come to his home to pick up the keys to our new home (not some hand-off at a gas station or a Mickey D’s). These are the little things that matter SO much in the end! We would in a heart-beat recommend Jay to anyone looking for a slice of paradise in the Tampa area. He was just what we needed. We came into this with typical Northeast intensity and Jay was ready for it and adapted! Awesome job Jay! We love it here! Go Giants & Buccs!
Response from Jay Sells Tampa - Jay Quigley REALTOR
Thank you both for such a thoughtful review! Earning your trust after the referral from your New Jersey Realtor meant a great deal to me. And that “Northeast intensity”? I spent more than 25 years working with attorneys—I came prepared! 😂 Over our year and a half together, the goal was always to find a home that fit your life: time outdoors, proximity to the water, room for the pups, and a renovation list that wouldn’t become a second career. I’m thrilled we found that combination in MiraBay in Apollo Beach! Buying remotely adds another layer to a move, so I’m glad the market research, home comparisons, and regular communication helped you feel informed and confident from New Jersey through closing. Thank you for your patience, your humor, and the opportunity to help you start this next chapter in the Tampa Bay area. Knowing you love living here is the best part of all. Go Bucs! And yes, your Giants gear is still welcome at my house. 🏈

When we began our search for a home in the Tampa area, we were fortunate to be referred to Jay by a trusted Realtor friend in New Jersey who was selling our home there. He highly recommended Jay because of his extensive knowledge of the Tampa Bay market and his many years of experience, and he exceeded every expectation we had. From our very first buyer consultation, Jay took the time to truly understand who we were, what we were looking for, and what mattered most to our family, including our four beloved pups. Rather than simply helping us find a house, he focused on helping us find the right lifestyle and community that would fit our needs both now and in the future. As newcomers to the Tampa area, our knowledge was limited to a few vacations spent at a family condo in Clearwater. We had no clear idea where we wanted to live and explored communities throughout the region, from Tarpon Springs and Palm Harbor all the way south to Apollo Beach. Throughout the process, Jay was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and supportive. He consistently provided resources, insights, and local expertise that helped us better understand each area and make informed decisions. What truly set Jay apart was his responsiveness and accessibility. He was always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and help us navigate not only the home-buying process but also the significant life transition we were making. Moving from New Jersey to Florida was about far more than purchasing a home; it was about creating a new way of life. Thanks to Jay's guidance, we found exactly what we were looking for: a beautiful waterfront home in the gated community of MiraBay in Apollo Beach. We could not be happier with the outcome and have never looked back. As we approached closing, Jay's expertise became even more valuable. He carefully guided us through every step of the transaction, ensured we focused on the key details needed for a successful purchase, and negotiated skillfully to create a true win-win outcome for both buyer and seller. His professionalism, integrity, and commitment to his clients were evident throughout the entire process. Simply put, we could not have asked for a better home-buying experience. Jay made what could have been a stressful and overwhelming relocation feel seamless and enjoyable. We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and dedicated Realtor. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about finding the right home and lifestyle for you, Jay is the person to call.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. Helping you make the move from New Jersey to the Tampa Bay area was about much more than simply finding a house, and I’m glad that came through during the process. Because you were relocating and still deciding which part of the Tampa Bay area would best fit your lifestyle, we covered a lot of ground—from Tarpon Springs and Palm Harbor to Apollo Beach. Those early conversations about your family, your four pups, your priorities, and what you wanted your life in Florida to look like were just as important as bedrooms, square footage, or price. It was a pleasure helping you compare communities, understand the local real estate market, and narrow the search until MiraBay in Apollo Beach felt like the right fit. Finding the right waterfront home was a great outcome, but helping you feel confident about the community and the decision was just as important to me. I also appreciate your comments about the negotiation and closing process. Strong buyer representation means staying involved from the initial consultation through inspections, negotiations, closing, and all the details in between. Thank you for trusting me with such an important move and for referring to the experience so generously. I’m thrilled that Florida—and MiraBay—has become home for you and the pups! And I'm thrilled to consider you and your family friends!

I wanted to commend Jay on an excellent transaction. We had a recent transaction where everything went very smoothly. The buyers and the sellers were very happy with how things went and it's always great to have good relationships with the realtors that you are working with. He did a great job and I hope to do another transaction with him again in the near future! Thanks Jay!
