"hear it from the horse's mouth"...

"I was executor for an estate, Jay went out of his way to help me through the process. His dealings with both the lawyer and myself were friendly and professional, a tough balancing act. I will absolutely recommend Jay to anyone thinking about lisitng their home."

"Jay Agassiz has been our realtor since June 2021 at which time we had almost sold our place in the lower mainland and wanted to move to the Shuswap. He had came highly recommended from friends.
We worked with him for over a year and as 2021 turned out to be a crazy year. Jay made the difference, he kept us focused. His knowledge and experience are as good as it gets, throw in deep ethics, strong negotiation tactics and we got the home we were looking for.
Couldn’t recommend more or thank him enough."

"Jay had been the listing agent of our property when we purchased it 5 years ago. At that time we were very impressed with his prompt responses to our agents questions and offers. When I contacted Jay by telephone about listing our property he was in his vehicle and he said he had to pull over and again he promptly returned my call. We set up a time to meet and again he was there at the time agreed upon with all the information.Our property sold a day and a half after it was listed and it sold above list price. To me that is what you call performance. Another thing we liked about Jay was that he did not promise us the world to get the listing but he did give us a realistic price which we could expect to get. This amount was exceeded by a considerable amount when our property went on the market. I would highly recommend Jay Agassiz to anyone contemplating buying or selling real estate."

"I highly recommend Jay to anyone hoping to sell a property. Professional, friendly, informative and approachable. I made the choice to sign with Jay and Homelife on the basis of the testimonials of friends and neighbours. I was very pleased with his efforts to sell my house and the successful results."

"Jay was so easy to work with. He understood the market, set a financial goal for my sale, and met it. I appreciated that he kept an eye on my house while it stood empty and I was no longer in town. I couldn't be happier with the final sale. I would strongly recommend him for your realty needs. Thanks Jay!"

"Jay was referred to us by friends who had moved to the Salmon Arm area. They spoke highly of him and as we were looking to move to the area, we contacted Jay.
He is the epitome of a true professional. He knows the area incredibly well, is attentive, friendly and very low pressure. Over the course of our meetings with him and through our real estate transaction, he provided us with valuable and precise information.
We think of Jay as a friend now, as he treated us with kindness and respect. As mentioned, he is a true professional that will ensure your needs are met. Thanks Jay!"

"This is in appreciation for the successful sale of our (estate) condo. Jay presented himself in a professional, friendly manner, very knowledgeable and considerate of our needs. Thank you for your hard work, dedication and guidance through the negotiations. Sincerely wish you continued success and am pleased to recommend Jay without hesitation."

"When we first met with Jay about selling our place, we knew he was the right choice. As first time sellers, he made the whole process easy and stress free, was always available when we had questions and really helped us be confident in our decisions. Jay definitely knows his stuff and we would recommend him a thousand times over."

"Jay your professional, informed and respectful transaction with regard to the sale of our father's house after his recent passing is sincerely appreciated. At all times we felt informed yet unencumbered due to your diplomatic transaction through to completion. It was a pleasure doing business with you."

"What can I say...you have restored my faith in Realtors! It has been such a pleasure going through this home buying process with you. You thought of everything, never missed an opportunity to look out for our best interests and saved us so much time and money in the future, by covering everything BEFORE the deal was done. Your thoroughness, attention to detail and general concern for us will not be forgotten, you are certainly at the top of your profession. Buying a house from a distance can be a challenge and if you didn't already personally know all the best people in town to help us complete our checklist, it could have been a very different outcome. Please be advised that you are now 'our' realtor and I will most sincerely  seek opportunities to pass on your contact info. to anyone I know who is looking to buy or sell, and wants the least amount of stress doing it. Thank you Jay Agassiz! "

"Jay is an honest, caring, knowledged man... he also is equipped with tremendous local knowledge!! We are very greatful for him helping us through the transition of selling our quaint little home. He is also a great advocate. The sellers agent attempted to "bully us" into giving her more commission but thankfully Jay had our back!! We would definitely utilize Jay's services again and recommend him to anyone who asked!! Thank you again Jay!!"

"I have had the pleasure of working with Jay both as a buyer and a seller and was impressed with his honesty and integrity. I would definetly recommend Jay as a real estate agent that is professional and trustworthy."

"Jay is a top notch realtor. He is personable, communicates well, uses technology to enhance communication, is down-to-earth, honest, hard worker, and puts in extra effort to help. He was recommended to my by several friends and I'm glad I chose Jay. I felt he looked after my best interests. I would highly recommend Jay to anyone looking for an excellent realtor."

"Jay has exceeded our expectations as our realtor time and again. We have bought and sold with him, and would not consider working with anyone else for our personal real estate needs. We recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Shuswap. We are exceptionally happy with his work, and hope to continue our relationship for years to come."

"Thanks to Jay and his amazing websites and contacts we had a Buyer for our home within 15 days of listing our property. Jay's commitment to us his clients, his integrity and passion for the details of our sale make him a person we would highly recommend when buying or selling your home."

"Simply saying 'thanks' or 'great job' really does not express how Ryan and I feel with what you have done for us. We have spent countless hours wondering when and if we would ever sell. Your patience and expert knowledge really has helped us through all the frustrating times. We were thrilled when we got the S-O-L-D sign on our home and on the new house we purchased! Hands down, there is no realtor like you and we will be recommending you to all our friends!"

"Sometimes you meet someone that goes above and beyond what is expected of them and that is what we found with Jay Agassiz.  He listened to what we wanted in  a place, both me and my husband, and then looked for a mix of both desires. He provided excellent advise about places and made sure it was always in our best interest not in the sale. Jay was quick to respond to questions and concerns and made things happen. All the people at Homelife were wonderful to deal with. If you want your real estate transaction handled smoothly by an experienced, knowledgeable person, I highly recommend Jay and his team. Go where you are a client not a dollar sign, go Homelife, Salmon Arm."

"Jay was referred to us by the Adams and Mostat families, and what a great recommendation! Jay was very positive from our first meeting, always knowing the market conditions, giving us feedback from each showing, very easy to talk to and would always return our calls. We would recommend Jay to anyone looking for a professional Realtor who has a great personality. Thanks Jay for all you have done - greatly appreciated!"

"Jay was great!"

"We have bought and sold at least four places through Jay and are very impressed with his commitment and integrity. He is totally up front about issues with the property and is very thorough with the legal and title information."

"Jay Agassiz truly went above and beyond to sell my property. The property was listed before the province started to shut down due to the pandemic. There was one offer that had fallen through just as everything in the city started to come to a halt. It is due to Jay's efforts that another buyer was found and the property sold before the city came to complete stop. Jay is knowledgeable, concise, and relays all information in a direct and understandable manner so you have all necessary information to make informed decisions. I highly recommend Jay Agassiz!"

"Jay is knowledgeable, honest, patient and approachable. He kept us informed throughout the selling process and provided sound advice. I would recommend Jay Agassiz to any one wanting to sell or buy."

"Thanks for the awesome service and speedy sale Jay! We sure appreciate everything you did for us and look forward to working with you again in the future."

"Jay really knows his job and that's a bonus. We chose Jay because of his experience and it really paid off. Jay handled the final negotiations well. Made the whole process enjoyable. Jay really gave us the confidence that we were in good hands. Great job"

"We had no idea that selling our home could be so painless! Jay spent as much time with us as we needed and gave us exactly the right advice to make sure that our home sold quickly. When we started receiving offers we felt comfortable knowing that he was advocating on our behalf to get the asking price that we wanted. Now that we are looking for our new home he has worked around our busy schedules and is always able to give us honest and valuable insight into each property that we view. He truly has had our best interests at heart and I believe he would forego making a sale before he would let us make a purchase that isn't right for us. Thanks Jay!"

"We saw Jay's ad in the local paper and liked that he had sold all the homes he had listed. We had two sales with Jay on our same property! The first sale failed to close on the final day because the Buyer's home sale fell through at the last minute. We gave them a month extension to sort it out but after that didn't happen we ended up having to re-list it again. Thank you Jay for finding another Buyer so soon, your support during this very difficult journey was much appreciated. Jay is very knowledgeable about the real estate market and did a great job featuring our home. He was always available to answer our questions and concerns. Jay it was a pleasure working with you and your team at Homelife Salmon Arm Realty."

"Jay Agassiz applied his long term knowledge and experience in the real estate field by negotiating a market price in a timely period. All aspects of my sale were thoroughly communicated to me by Jay, resulting in a satisfactory and stress free conclusion. I would recommend Jay Agassiz @ HomeLife Salmon Arm Realty for any real estate needs."

"Jay demonstrated a careful and highly competent approach from start to finish. The result was a quick sale at a price we were happy with, and no stress for us".

"I came across Jay as he was the listing agent of a property I was interested in. Jay's ethical and knowledgeable manner in showing the property helped me in making the decision to purchase. At that point, I felt comfortable with Jay's strengths and familiarity with the area and real estate expertise so listed my property with him. In regards to negotiations, Jay handled my purchase and then the sale of my property with skill and finesse. Negotiations were quick yet not rushed. Jay helped me make decisions that were based on current market values but with my budget and finances in mind."

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Jay Agassiz to sell our home in Salmon Arm. We can say with no hesitation that Jay is an excellent Realtor.

"It's been a real pleasure having Jay as our Realtor. He has been friendly, punctual and always tried to give me advanced notice for showings. Our ad was featured in the papers a lot and I always got feedback after showings.  Jay also worked very well with our tenant in our basement suite. Keep up the good work!!"

We explained to him what we were looking for and not long later he found us our place. As first time home buyers we enjoyed our experience and would recommend Jay to anyone. Thanks for the help Jay!"

"Very patient! Jay showed us many homes and we never felt any pressure. He encouraged us to keep looking for the best fit. He is very honest and knowledgeable about the area and always does his homework before showing a home. Being first time home buyers, Jay taught us a lot and always made sure that we understood everything. He is also on the ball setting up viewings when listings come, which is key when the market is hot. We are very thankful to have had such a positive experience buying our first home with the help of Jay and would gladly recommend him to our friends and family. "

"Gord and I started looking at homes online last year but we knew when it came time to get serious with our house hunting we were going to need some help. We asked around for a good realtor and everyone told us Jay Agassiz was the best agent in the area. We contacted Jay and started looking for a property, being an out of town buyer has it's challenges, but Jay's knowledge of the area and the current market made the process easier. We finally found our house and Jay's knowledge was invaluable when it came to negotiating, and later when we had an issue with some damage to our new home Jay co-ordinated everything with the Seller's agent to resolve the problem. We are now in our new home and couldn't be happier! If anyone asks us for a recommendation we won't hesitate to give out Jay's name. Thanks Jay."

"Jay is very knowledgeable and helpful. He was always available and quick to respond when we had questions. He is friendly, professional and very approachable. His marketing is great! We appreciated always receiving feedback from our showings. Jay was very efficient during the closing of our properties and was quick to complete the necessary paperwork. I would and have reccomended Jay to friends and family and will be calling him again for future purchases or sales. Thanks for all you hard work you made the sale of our properties smooth and stress free!!!"

"As first time home Buyers, my husband and I were unsure of what to expect in our price range and what a realtor would be able to find for us. After viewing many different properties with other Realtors we felt confident that Jay had our best interests in mind and so we chose Jay as our Realtor. Being patient, honest and encouraging, Jay helped us make what we feel was the best possible decision for our first home. Our experience was great and we'd highly recommend Jay as a Realtor to anyone."

We would highly recommend you to anyone looking or selling in the Shuswap area-it was an absolute pleasure doing business with you!"

"I have known Jay for over 10 years now. He has helped me through a few sales and purchases and has always been great at helping me understand the market. My last sale with him was all by email and phone as I was living 5 hours away from Salmon Arm. He went over and above helping me empty my condo, making thrift store drop off runs, took items to the landfill and made sure my place was presentable to clients. I would highly recommend Jay and will be using him again when I come back to Salmon Arm in the future."

"I was considering retiring in the Shuswap area with some specific ideas about what type of home and area that I wanted to live in. I met Jay Agassiz's daughter and son-in-law at a show in Vancouver. After expressing my interest in moving to the Shuswap, I acquired the contact information for Jay Agassiz. I contacted him and we met to discuss my interests. I felt very comfortable talking to Jay. He is honest, knowledgeable and truly cared about what my "dream" home would look like. Jay is also a very good problem solver. Buying a home is very stressful. Jay had a calmness about him that helped me settle down when issues seemed worse than they were. I am now living in a great home in a great neighbourhood... all thanks to Jay Agassiz.

"Jay got my condo sold in short order for a good dollar. What else can you ask of your Realtor? Thanks Jay!"

Jay's constant communication, arranging appointments and suggestions on how to update the property helped alleviate most of the stresses. We would not hesitate to recommend Jay as a realtor!"

"I want to extend a huge thank-you to Jay for being such an amazing realtor! As first time home buyers, my sister, Marlene, and I didn't have much experience with the real estate market, nor did we have a full understanding of the process of buying a home. Jay made the transition easy and painless in a time efficient and understanding manner. Jay was always so quick to accommodate us, as Marlene and I both work full time, by meeting during lunch breaks, after work, and after hours, showing us house after house and ensuring all our questions and concerns were addressed. We have finally found our dream home and we couldn't have done it without his help. I would highly recommend Jay to all, whether buying or selling, he is professional, helpful, and all around a wonderful person to deal with. Thanks Jay! "

"Amazing Experience"

“Jay worked closely with us in our house purchase and was helpful and attentive to our needs even in cases where it didn't benefit him personally. He was personable and friendly; he was professional and paid attention to details. We have every confidence in him and would recommend him to anyone needing real estate help in the Shuswap area.”

"Thanks for a great job Jay!"
