Jay goes out of his way to educate and help buyers as well as sellers involved in a transaction. He will patiently work with you in order to get what you want. What is even better is that his lovely wife Elaine is also a realtor and they both work together for their clients.

I have worked with Jay on several transactions within the last few years and he is very professional in all aspects and is a really great guy and an absolute pleasure to work with!

Very professional, honest and helpful. He will definitely help find a house for anyone based on their desires and preferences. He only provided top notch customer service. He has the right resources that suits any home buyers needs. What we enjoy most with Jay was the fact that he will work with your busy schedule and will definitely go above and beyond to make sure that we were well taken care off.

We will definitely work with him again in the future.

I had wonderful experience working with Jay. He is incredible and he gives a lot of effort of what he loves to do. Jay is well concern of his client and provides the best service as a Realtor in order to satisfy the customer needs. Very knowledgeable and wonderful negotiation skills that is why he was able to get the home for my family. Let me re-phase that β€œFULLY FURNISHED HOME”. When you need him he will be there no matter what the distance is. One of the situation we had was to meet the seller. Jay drove 70+ miles to support us in meeting the seller at their home that really showed that he takes his job seriously and really do care in supporting his client in every possible way he can assist. As a great friend I am recommending Jay to all who reads this post to take into considerations of having him as your Realtor. I am planning to work with Jay once again for larger home in the future because I know he can be trusted and he is very reliable.

When we decided to sell our home in Point Loma we knew we had the perfect team to get the job done. Jay Montenegro and Elaine Valdez placed our home on the market & in less than 20 days, they found the perfect buyer. Jay & Elaine held open houses, used professional marketing materials such as flyers and signs, & also created a website which showcased our home’s beauty for potential buyers.

Jay & Elaine were true professionals every step of the way. They kept us in the loop through out the entire process, helped us get the price we wanted for our home, introduced us to some of the amazing professionals they work with (interior designer who assisted with home staging.) They were also very organized & thorough in regard to the tedious paperwork involved.

We were so impressed with them, we knew it was essential for them to assist us with the purchase of our new home (which was our absolute dream home). They were even able to organize the closings of both old & new property within just days of each other and it was seamless! We truly feel like we could not have done any of this without their determination, patience, & expertise. We can not say enough about these two professionals and will always remember how special & amazing the process was because of them. Thank you Jay & Elaine!!

We are a military family buying our first home and Jay was excellent. He was with us every step of the way. Communication was superb and his expertise made my wife and I very confident in making this big decision. His negotiation and research on the homes in our area was well organized and informative. We were very comfortable with the offer and the price we eventually got our home for. Because of his professionalism and his dedication we would highly recommend Jayβ€”we have already recommended him to a number of friends and I am sure the experience will be as amazing.

Jay is a great resource, as a first timer navigating the process, he was a tremendous help. I looked to Jay as my expert in the field and has always been generous in his willingness to help. He is willing to meet me at any time and place of my choosing and will give you the information that the others don’t necessarily tell you. He’s honest, caring and genuine, bottom line - all the things you want working for you when it comes to such a big investment or sale even. Definitely would refer!!!

Jay is an excellent real estate agent. He’s very professional and accomodating to our needs. His knowledge of the real estate market is refreshing and informative. Despite our financial and credit situation, he continues to educate us and send us information on how we can get back on our feet and hopefully get our own place. He also provides contact information that can potentially help us with our credit issues. He’s an awesome agent and I will have no qualms recommending him to my close friends.
— E. Surio
Jay and his team are incredibly knowledgeable, very clear with their strategy for purchase and sell (I’ve had him as both my buying agent and selling agent), and go the extra mile to make sure everything is transparent and understood. He has a positive attitude and great personality which makes working with him and his team effortless. I look forward to using him for all my real estate needs for years to come.

I was referred to Jay and Elaine through U.S. Bank when I applied to be pre-approved for a mortgage loan. Even though I was not looking to immediately buy a home, Jay and Elaine signed me up for Listbook so that I could see what was on the market in my price range, took me to view a few houses, and continued to check in with me for over 6 months. My husband and I ended up buying a home from a family member and did not use a real estate agent, however, Jay continued to answer questions that I had through out the process and was helpful in determining what the comps were for other houses in my area. I highly recommend Jay and Elaine and will definitely contact them when I am ready to sell and buy a new home.

I met Jay through a recommendation of a friend. He helped me look for a house in the Chula Vista and National City area. Jay is the most knowledgeable, professional, and the kindest real estate agent I’ve ever met. I highly recommend him as a realtor.
— J. Magat
Absolutely great experience in customer service and negotiation skills! Jay spent the extra miles in making sure that we understand the community, the history of the property and the pros and cons of the deal. Will definitely recommend this young rising star to all my friends who are in search for properties in the area.
