Testimonials

"Jake is an amazing real estate agent. From the moment my wife and I met him, we knew he was the agent for us. Jake walked us through the buying and selling process of our home with professionalism, honesty, and enthusiasm. He worked with us for months while we found our dream home, and he sold our current home quickly and for a great price. He was always responsive and helpful even at times when I knew I was being a difficult client. I was most impressed with Jake's honesty and moral character. He always conducted himself professionally, ethically, and with the highest level of integrity. Through this process, not only do I know that I found a real estate agent for life, but our family has gained a friend. We wish continued success for Jake and will always refer our friends and family to him for their real estate needs."

"We used Jake Garay to sell two of our newest houses in Poughquag. As someone who has worked with many different real estate agents over the years, picking the right one was essential to us. We have had many different experiences with agents, and our experience with Jake was by far our most successful yet. Jake assisted us throughout the process, communicated every step of the way, and went above and beyond his "normal" duties to ensure a smooth and easy transaction on both houses. When we saw our listings we were blown away. His hard work and knowledge of what it takes to sell a home paid off - our listing looked amazing and knocked out the competition. I've recommended Jake to everyone I know. His hard work, commitment, and passion for the job show. I think you'll have difficulty finding a better Realtor®."

"Jake was the definition of a well versed professional. From the way he presents himself to his knowledge of the industry, Jake Is a a great representation of Berkshire Hathaway. He is way to work with, friendly, efficient and keeps the process very hands off. The only time he reached out to me is when he needed my input on my house sale. Otherwise, he would let me relax, without unnecessary involvement in the process. He always kept me updated every step of the sale and my house has a lot of exposure on the market. Once again, a great experience and I could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you BHHS and Jake Garay!"

"Choose Jake as your selling agent or buying agent if you want to work with a dedicated professional who will give you the competitive advantage in any phase of the real estate market. Going above and beyond to get any real estate transaction to closing has a life changing impact on many families. My fiancé and I saw this first hand when I bought my home with Jake representing us. While home buying is typically a stressful and emotional process, Jake is now more than just our real estate agent for life, but a friend and someone I can count on for any advice. I highly recommend Jake as you real estate agent!"

"Jake did a great job of helping us fill an unexpected vacancy. He was responsive and effective, gave very good guidance in terms of what the market would bear, and proposed the right solutions as the situation evolved. All in all, a great experience, and the tenant is in before the end of the month no time wasted or revenue lost. Update Recently three tenants gave notice at about the same time, and Jake masterfully juggled applicants, credit reports, different move-in/moveout dates, and financial considerations, offering excellent advice and service throughout. He made the situation much less problematic than it might have been, and we're glad he was there to keep the ship on course. We ended up losing almost no rented days."
