“Jay was an extremely knowledgeable agent. He knew the area and was always on top of new listings. Most importantly he was very responsive to us; no matter the time of day we could get in touch with him.”
“Jay is never satisfied with ‘good enough’, he’ll work harder than anyone else to get the job done.”
“Jay called us the morning of our final walkthrough letting us know the seller had cut the water off but he was working it. We waited with a u-haul truck full of furniture and no more days off work. I don’t know how he did it, but Jay called a couple hours later and said we could head out to the house for final walk-through and that we’d close right after! Jay is a miracle worker!”
“This is the 6th house I’ve bought, and I have never had a closing go this smooth and this fast. Thank you Jay you work harder than any of the other agent I used.”
“Jay is the best. He has helped us sell and buy 4 homes. So very easy to work with and always available! No need to look for another agent. Jay should be your realtor!”
“My wife and I went through two realtors, saw dozens of homes we didn’t like and nearly gave up until we met Jay Jenkins. Jay was knowledgeable, courteous and always on time. For me and my wife we couldn’t have asked for anyone better to help us find and buy our first home. Jay took great care of us. He always had the facts we needed for the homes we wanted to see. Plus we didn’t have to waste time because Jay filtered out the homes he knew we wouldn’t like. Jay had years of experience to share with us and knew how to negotiate which kept us in our budget and actually got us out the door with positive home equity. Perhaps the best thing about Jay in my opinion is the way he conducts himself he is a real gentlemen and an honest to goodness good person. Throw in the fact that he is a Veteran that knows his way around a VA loan and you have the best realtor in Virginia. I would recommend Jay Jenkins to anyone looking to buy or rent in Hampton Roads, VA.”
“Jay is extremely knowledgeable and a very professional real estate agent. The buying process with Jay was incredibly smooth. Before we even started looking at houses he would send me emails with all of the listings that fit the description of what I was looking for. From the email I could either save it or delete and the next outing with him he knew exactly which ones I was interested in. Once I would meet him and enter his vehicle he would hand me a clip board and in order were the houses we were about to go see with a printout of information on each house. While looking at houses he would give me his honest and trustworthy opinion, that’s when I could tell he wasn’t out to sell me a house as quick as possible. There were a couple houses he pointed out some problems with them and told me they most likely would give me issues in the future and to be prepared to make what could be potentially expensive repairs. Jay’s integrity speaks for itself. I still to this day call him and ask for advice.”
“Jay has been a complete professional in everything he has touched since I’ve known him.”
“Jay was the best real estate professional we’ve ever worked with. He combines his many years of knowledge and experience in the area with excellent technical / software expertise to bring a comprehensive plan to the table. Jay was always immediately available through a variety of means, he’s flexible in how you prefer to communicate, he was patient and level-headed even when we weren’t. We will be using Jay to buy a home in the near future, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a real estate agent.”
“Just completed our 3rd experience with Jay since 2015 and looking forward to our next purchase in 2025! Jay’s extensive local experience combined with his team of experts have ensured three on-time property closures. Experienced, personable, and well connected, Jay has consistently delivered through the ups and downs of the market.”
“I enjoyed working with Jay. He’s knowledgeable about so many things, and he never gets tired of answering questions.”
“We have had Jay as a realtor twice now; once to buy a home and once to sell a home. He is extremely knowledgeable, personable and has always had our best interests in mind. He does the market research and will always give you an honest assessment. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell or buy in the Hampton Roads area!”
“Jay is so amazing !! Always available to chat and very professional. He has helped us with three homes! We will not use anyone else! I sometimes get a little nervous about buying and selling homes and Jay is very patient !”
“Working with Jay was truly an enjoyable experience. He was informative and easy going, very easy to talk to, and I never felt like my questions were dumb questions or were blown off.”
“Don’t use anyone else! We used Jay sell our old house. When we purchased a new construction we used the site agent because we didn’t know we had an option. When it came time to sell, we lost a lot of money because the site agent upsold us on a lot of features that don’t add value. Jay still got us top dollar for our house, but we regret not having him to advise us when we purchased. Our mistake. We used him to buy our latest home and will never use another agent again. Thank you Jay!”
“Where to start? First, let me save you some time and tell you Jay Jenkins should be the first call you make. Period. I say that up front because I had the best experience with Jay and his team imaginable and I know many of you won’t read the novel I am about to write about it. You don’t know me at all but trust me. Call Jay Jenkins. The guy is phenomenal and his team is the same. You’d be doing yourself a HUGE disservice if you don’t at minimum pick up the phone and give him a 5 minute conversation so you can see for yourself the caliber of Realtor he is and the things he will make happen for you. I made Jay and his team jump through so many hoops and hurdles as my situation evolved and they delivered on every point. Ok, if you want more detail as to why I am so adamant you call Jay, read on. If that blurb was enough, great…go call Jay.”
“Jay’s service was beyond excellent! He is prompt, attentive, extremely knowledgeable and always quick to respond. We had a few unfortunate events happen during our selling/buying process and he took all our stress away every time! We highly recommend Jay!”
“You would be lucky to have Jay working for you. Everything he has even taken on; whether hobby or work, has been met with great enthusiasm and determination, resulting in nothing less than exceptional work”
“I used Jay to buy my house in 2016 and it was a great and smooth experience. I just used him again to sell the house and it was the same amazing customer service. I will without a doubt use him again to buy another house in the future. He is absolutely amazing and makes the entire process seem effortless. There were a few times where I had to make a decision on a few things and asked him what he would do. I went with his opinion every time and it was always the right decision. I trust Jay completely and recommend him to everyone.”
“We had a very difficult transaction due to a very difficult listing agent on the other side, the deal actually fell apart, but Jay never stopped working for us, advising us and got us the home we wanted. Thank you again for all your hard work and extreme patience.”
“Jay Jenkins is by far the best real estate agent you could ask for! He has helped my family buy 2 homes and now has helped me with 3 investment properties (buy and sell). I am amazed at how good he is at so many aspects of real estate. I can’t recommend him enough!”
“Jay is a natural teacher. He explains in a way that makes the most complicated things simple and clear.”
“Jay was a great help through the whole process. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Jay knocked it out of the park!”
“On top of the delivery of his introduction and the general aura about him, Jay listened and acted appropriately on the information I gave him. While the other folks went straight to the top of by budget and beyond Jay started at the very bottom and below. He showed me a few distressed properties and gave me the objective opinion I needed to make my decisions. Jay would tell me things like, “This is a great price and could be an incredible deal but with the amount of work needed and the unknowns once you get into the house, this could easily spiral out of control and go way over budget.” There were too many of these examples to list but ultimately those were the conversations that let me know Jay was genuinely interested in finding me a home I wanted not just trying to make a sale. Jay and I continued looking at properties and each one had very solid ground as to why Jay picked it for me to view. Each house he showed me met at minimum 6 of 9 major requests I had. I’m realistic about things and knew at my budget I wasn’t going to hit all 9 but I liked that he didn’t show me a ton of properties because they met 3 or 4 of my 9 major requests. That is why we found the one I ended up closing on. Jay is damn good at what he does which is, at its simplest: listen, adapt and deliver. Jay took all that reconnaissance info he gathered at our first meeting, shook it up with his already extensive knowledge and then made the necessary adjustments to facilitate my constantly evolving situation. Jay delivered on all fronts. Thinking about this as I type this review, I can’t imagine a better experience. As long as I am in VA Beach Jay is the only Realtor I will work with. I just hope he is still around when I go to sell this one and buy my next.”
“Jay went out of his way to answer any questions/concerns I had through the purchase process. He was so patient with me at checking out as many house as needed until I found the one and great at negotiating. I’m recommend Jay 100% and I plan to reach out to him again for any future purchases in the area.”
“Jay Jenkins is by far the best real estate agent you could ask for! He has helped my family buy 2 homes and now has helped me with 3 investment properties (buy and sell). I am amazed at how good he is at so many aspects of real estate. I can’t recommend him enough!”
“Jay was amazing, again! He helped us buy our house years ago. He worked so hard to get us exactly what we wanted. When it came time to sell, we wouldn’t work with anyone else. He was just as amazing during the sale process as he was when we purchased. Wish you worked in Texas and could help us out here also! Thanks for everything.”
“If I had to describe him in one word it would be ‘driven’. I’d ask questions others I’ve worked with told me not to worry about. Jay got the answers.”
“Incredibly professional and works fast! In this crazy market, it’s sooo hard as a buyer. But Jay works fast, keeps in communication, gave the best advice on submitting a strong offer to compete and I was able to buy my first home. Thank you Jay.”
“Jay was phenomenal from start to finish. He helped us get everything prepared for listing our house, so that we would get top dollar for it. He was super responsive whenever we had any questions, and always kept us informed on all that was going on through the entire process. Jay did an outstanding and professional job when it came to taking photos and video of our house for the listing and information pamphlets. His negotiations were great when it came through sorting through multiple offers and going with the best one to get all that we were asking for. I would highly recommend using Jay to all of my friends and family that are looking either buy or sell a house.”
“I hate dealing with real estate agents, I really do. I was cringing when it was time to sell our house but Jay Jenkins changed my mind. Jay made the whole process of selling/buying a house a breath of fresh air. There were no pushy sales tactics and he listened to everything we had to say. Not once did we run into the slimy tactic of being shown houses that were out of our price range. Whatever we asked for, Jay showed us. In fact, we moved into a house we never thought we would find and I couldn’t be happier. Jay Jenkins is the only real estate agent I would ever recommend.”
“Jay helped us buy our home 5 years ago and helped us sell it. He was amazing as a buyers agent, and even more impressive at selling our home. The pricing analysis he did was very in depth yet he made it very simple when he explains it. The marketing photos and video were professional and more than we expected. Don’t use anyone else to sell your home!”
“I was overly impressed with the amount of attentiveness and professionalism given to our family by Mr. Jenkins. This was my first home purchase ; and I couldn’t have asked for an easier time finding everything I was asking for in a home. I’m a very quiet person who doesn’t enjoy being on the phone/ nor do I have the extra time. Jay was able to adjust and communicate with me so I was able to be informed every step of the way. It was a pleasant experience from start to finish. Not to mention he’s also just a really dope human being.”
“Jay went above and beyond what I expected and was a knockout performer. While I was deployed I contacted Jay in hopes of purchasing my first home. I was new to the area and had no real background knowledge of neighborhoods much less the purchasing process. Jay was an absolute expert throughout the entire process. He made me feel completely comfortable every step of the way. Jay took videos of all walk throughs and posted them so I could view and get the feel of every home. He worked on my time schedule and set me up for success. When it came time to execute, jay moved quickly and skillfully all while keeping me 100% informed and completely relaxed through my first purchase. Could not have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Mr. Jenkins for his professional attitude and attention to detail.”
“I’ve never worked with someone so dedicated and thorough.”
“Jay made finding and buyer a house a great experience. Very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. He answered all my questions and make the process fun. Thanks again Jay, I will definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a top tier agent.”
“Jay is very knowledgeable and goes above and beyond. He markets your house very well to get it sold fast! Mine sold in two weeks! When looking for new houses he truly listens to what you want and sticks within your price range. He does not push you to buy until you’re ready and listens to all of your input. I highly recommend him!”
“Jay was very on the ball and listed my home as soon as I contacted him and completed the virtual tour and pictures. He did a great job from day one. I feel he provided excellent guidance along the way. Did a great job with virtual tour and pictures!”
“Jay earns highest marks for his knowledge of real estate alone. Nevertheless, he also excels in his knowledge of Hampton Roads and goes the extra distance to communicate needs to his clients as future homeowners.”
“I met with Jay and within 10 minutes I knew he was going to be my Realtor. I don’t know if he meant to or not but Jay set a very high bar for himself in that meeting. His introduction was specific, clear, concise and timely. Additionally he went over my “wants/needs” list with me. The other agents I dealt with just handed me the sheet and asked me to return it when I could. Jay went over it line-by-line at our initial meeting and asked for extra details about every line item no matter how insignificant I thought some of it may have been. He did his reconnaissance work to make sure he was fully prepared to find properties that were logical and not a waste of my time or his (Probably his background as a SEAL kicking in). Jay was open and available for any and all questions I had and there were plenty of them. Jay was also honest in his answers. If he wouldn’t be able to do something he flat out told me rather than dancing around it or giving me “maybe” or “I’ll see what I can do” answers. Those are always red flags for me. Jay also threw out a lot of contingencies in order to help me see the bigger picture and fully understand what I was getting into. I appreciated that a lot. As a first time buyer I didn’t always know what to ask and Jay could probably read it on my face because he seemed to answer questions I had as I was figuring out what I was trying to ask.”
“WOW! Jay was fantastic! He sold our rental property in Chesapeake, (we are no longer located in the area). He took care of everything, he work with our tenants, they were very happy with his courteousness and professionalism, even with COVID he made sure they were safe and respected their concerns and got our rental sold without us even having to travel back to Chesapeake. Thank you for everything Jay, you came highly recommended, and you lived up to that reputation!”
