Customer Testimonials

This review has been a longtime coming, but with an out of state move and all that goes along with that, it’s been a bit delayed. Now that we’ve got some time to breathe, I want to personally take the time to thank both Jay and Michele! Our very first true interaction with Jay was via video call since we were out of state, and he exuded such professionalism and expertise in his field. We knew at that moment that we were in good hands, and he put our concerns with an out of state purchase at ease. Both he and Michele were with us each step along the journey, and they made sure that we were taken care of, and that progress with our new home build was going along as planned without hiccups. They were readily available whenever we needed them and continue to be a wealth of knowledge as we traverse our new changes in life. There are many realtors out there and choosing one can be daunting. Jay and Michele are an amazing team and they will look out for you and make sure you get into your dream home. We can’t recommend them enough, so hopefully if you were on the fence, our words have steered you in the right direction. On a final note, Jay and Michele, we really appreciate everything you have done for us and we consider you dear friends. Happy New Year and we wish you both the very best!

Jay was highly recommended to us by a friend of ours who bought 2 New Homes from him in 2022. We temporarily rented a fully furnished house in January of 23 while looking to buy a home here in Tampa. Jay had a meeting with us before presenting homes to see what we were looking for as well as giving us a thorough tutorial and insight on the Real Estate market. We felt so comfortable with Jay as well as his wife, Michelle. Two true professionals who put their clients needs before anything else. We closed on our Brand New Home in July of 23 and we could not be happier. I have had great experiences as well as not so great experiences with other professionals and that's all it was, a working relationship. I can honestly say here that we have become good friends with Jay and Michele based off our experience with them. That has never happened before. I highly recommend Jay to anyone looking for a home, but more importantly, Someone that Truly Cares about his clients. Thank you from the Bottom Of Our Hearts! You both ROCK!!!!!!! Tony and Maribel

If you’re looking for a Realtor in Tampa who exemplifies integrity, professionalism, and exceptional communication, I highly recommend Jay Quigley. He was referred to me by a co-worker. From our initial buyer consultation, I could tell that Jay was a professional dedicated to helping me achieve my goal of moving from Indiana and purchasing a home in Florida. His knowledge of Tampa’s local market trends, attention to detail, and proactive attitude made me feel valued as a client. Jay maintained open and transparent communication, keeping me informed on market trends, valuations, and negotiation strategies. Jay's genuine passion for helping clients find their dream homes was evident. His warm demeanor, combined with his ethical approach, made him my trusted ally in this real estate journey. Thanks Jay!

Jay Quigley was my real estate agent both when we bought our first home and then two years later when we sold it. He is a phenomenal agent who has extensive knowledge and experience in both the buying and selling processes. When we were first time homebuyers, Jay patiently walked us through the home buying process, pointed out potential areas of concern and asked great questions during walkthroughs, and guided us through every step of the purchasing process. He helped us to get a great starter home at a good price. When we had to move for work two years later, Jay met with us to discuss the pros and cons of selling the house, and he even pointed us towards resources should we have chosen to keep the house as a rental. When we decided to sell, our first call was to Jay. Jay walked us through the selling process, and he made it easier than I ever would have imagined. Jay gave honest feedback on what work we needed to do to prevent hiccups during inspections, and he offered valuable tips on what improvements we could make that would pay for themselves and increase the value of the home. His advice was spot on - we took his suggestions and passed through the inspection with ease and sold the house for 43% more than what we had paid two years prior! I give Jay my highest recommendation.

What sets Jay Quigley apart is not just his impressive knowledge, but also his unwavering integrity. In a field where trust and character are of paramount importance, he stood out via his honesty and transparency. We felt confident throughout the entire process, knowing that he had our best interests at heart and was dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome for us. Working with someone who values integrity as much as Jay does made the entire experience even more rewarding. We are truly grateful to have had such a trustworthy and skilled realtor by our side. We were thrilled with the result and ease of the transaction. Highly recommend if you want to be confident you are working with someone truly on your side.

The buying process with Jay was excellent. He provided a buyer consultation that we had never experienced during our other home buying experiences. He was always very pleasant, and allowed us to make our own choice without pushing. Truly a top notch REALTOR.

It is always a pleasure to work with Jay. He represented me as a buyer's agent in my first transaction and as the listing/seller agent for the recent transaction. Jay's professionalism and expertise makes buying or selling a house a breeze. Jay will navigate through challenging situations like it is noting and offers appropriate advice. He listens thoroughly to his client's wishes and concerns, but he will manage expectations in a realistic manner, if warranted, and he provides excellent insides on the market and environment. Jay's communication skills are outstanding, he is always available, returns phone calls in a timely manner, and makes himself available if necessary.

Jay is a class act and an amazing person even before an excellent realtor! He helped with the purchase and sale of my first home. Not only is he knowledgeable, he takes the time to share and spread his expertise. He is a true professional! I recommend Jay and will be working with him again in the future!

Jay went above and beyond his job… he found us a great 3month rental right on the beach. We are so grateful for his persistence in locating our dream location. Thank you Jay for all your efforts!

Jay was responsive, knowledgeable and always there to help! Jay made the process of the new home buying experience less stressful. We would recommend Jay any day!

Jay, my bf, and I were so impressed with you from the very first call. This was the first time for both of us purchasing a house in a different state from where we live. We had a small window of time to find a house, close and move. You worked with us diligently to find the perfect house. You fought for us when things got tough all the way thru closing. And followed thru on items that lingered after closing. In addition to all of this you introduced us to an amazing Mortgage firm that also took great care of us. We felt like you had our backs thru the entire process! Your mindfulness, compassion and humor made the entire process a pleasant experience. Thank you!!!

Really loved working with Jay and the team here at Florida Executive Realty. 10/10! Thank you so much for everything!

When looking for a realtor, I wanted someone who was well-informed on the industry, the market, and the Tampa Bay Area, all of which I was able to find in Jay Quigley. As a first-time home buyer, I appreciated that he took the time to get to know me, set expectations, and walk me through the process. He was always patient, responsive, and honest with me, and I never felt like he was trying to "sell" me on something that was not right for me. Overall the house hunt had been a long, difficult, & emotional process, especially in this current market, but I have now officially closed on my new home! It is a wonderful feeling, and I am forever thankful I had Jay as my realtor through it all. If you are looking for a realtor who is thorough and knowledgeable, with a strong sense of integrity, as well as a sense of humor then Jay Quigley is the perfect realtor for you. Thank you for always going above and beyond and helping me through this crazy/chaotic process, Jay!

Jay, what a great person and professional you are. My gf and I were referred to you from Kansas. This says a lot about how far your good reputation gets to. We were impressed from our very first call with you by your humanity and transparency over each aspect of our contractual relationship; from the detailed explanation of the agreement to setting correctly mutual expectations, to listening to our priorities and needs while providing honest and clear feedback and advices. You prepared our house searching tour with such capillarity that we were able to find what we wanted in less than 2 days. During the searching tour, you always kept us balanced on the pro and cons of each house we visited, including a 360 evaluation of the area, market and overall value. And it was not only a searching tour. It became soon a fun experience which we both sincerely enjoyed. We had our laughs. You fought for us when time to deal with a tough negotiation and you made sure we could get what right and fair. Your great experience in the legal field, together with your excellent knowledge of real estate provided us extremely useful and safe advices. You know by now how immensely we enjoyed the personal experience, the same way as the professional one. Your humility, your passion for your work, your attention to the details, your capacity to empathize with the challenges of such a delicate decision, your approachable and positive attitude all along the journey made our house search such an enjoyable and safe experience. Sincerely, Thank you, Jay!

My wife and I were first time home buyers and Jay made the experience so smooth! As soon as we decided to go with him as our realtor, he got us in touch with great mortgage lenders and helped jump start the pre-approval process. Within less than a week of first contacting Jay, we had an extensive first meeting to discuss what we were looking for in our new home. He explained to us very clearly how the process would unfold and what his role was in all of it. He gave us a great and easy to do list to help guide us on picking out homes to tour. Jay used innovative phone applications where we could send listings we like straight to him. He understood our time crunch, as we we needed to move out of our old place in less than 4 months, and straight away had listings for us to look over at that first meeting. Over the next month, we saw upwards of 10 homes, and no matter the time or day, he was available to show us homes and strategize on making offers. He is a master of strategizing on offers, which was absolutely crucial in the hot sellers market we were facing. In less than a month, we were under contract on the perfect home. Jay helped us through the inspection and pre-closing process flawlessly. We cannot thank him enough for his diligent and exceptional work, and we will be his clients for life. We fully recommend that you choose Jay when buying or selling your next home!

Jay was the agent I needed to find the home I wanted. Given the market was a completely sellers market when I was looking (purchased March 2022), I felt frustration around the chances of us ever finding a home. Jay was reassuring in ever conversation that "If you follow the process, you will find the house.". He was a fantastic agent and absolutely knows his business. Highly recommend!

We started working with jay 3 yrs ago. Finally we?re able to move to Florida & build a home. Our requirement was 2 homes next to each other. He recommended the villas at cypress preserve. In a matter of 2 hours we had signed contract for 2 homes next to each other. Thanks Jay!

Recently worked with Jay on a transaction where he represented the seller. He was very professional and provided all pertinent information posted on the listing making the transaction seamless and easy for both buyer and seller. Thanks Jay let?s do it again!

Jay was everything that we hoped for in a real estate agent. No only did he help us purchase our home years ago, but he helped us sell it at the perfect time again five years later. He?s an excellent negotiator, communicator, and has a real knack for contracts/legal documents. Thanks so much for taking care of us!

If you are in the market for a home in the Tampa area stop what you are doing and call Jay Quigley! Jay is professional, personable, knowledgeable, accessible, hardworking and I could go on & on. Jay was able to make my daughters dream come true when she decided to look for her dream home in this daunting market. Jay was patient, honest and really took the time to not only walk her through but educate her on the entire home buying process. After just 2 weeks he found her forever home!! I cannot sing enough good praise about him. Thank you Jay! The Rhodes Family

Jay is wonderful, friendly, and respectful. He does a fantastic job protecting the interest of his clients while honestly explaining the current market conditions. My family has used him for multiple the sale/purchase of local properties and we will continue to do so as long as he is in real estate.

Jay Quigley was an absolute joy to work with. He always made us feel as though we were the most important clients. We asked many questions, and he was always quick and accommodating to get the answers for us.

Jay was our agent in the sale of our current home ? as well as our agent in purchasing our new home. Jay is very attentive, responsive, knowledgeable and ethical. Not only did he help us through the sale of our current home, he was also able to recommend several businesses we needed, with all his connections (painters, junk removal, etc.). All those he recommended also did a great job for us! I would highly recommend Jay, and will certainly consider him for any future real estate needs!

When I set out on the journey to find my first home, I did not realize what an uphill battle it would be. Finding the ?perfect forever home? during this market seemed impossible. For six months, I felt like a guppy fighting for a spot among the sharks (All cash buyers, over bidders, you name it!) and was working with a realtor who was leading me in the wrong direction. Jay was referred to me, and everything changed. I?m forever grateful that someone threw me the life raft that is Jay Quigley. He puts his clients needs first, above the desire to make a commission. He gave me a consultation where he allowed me to voice my frustrations with the process and understood my wants and needs right off the bat, while remaining completely transparent on what his plan would be to find my perfect home. Throughout the process he was attentive, responsive and worked incredibly hard to send me listings I hadn?t had access to, to give me the best chance to make an offer quickly. It took just TWO WEEKS for Jay to find me the absolutely perfect situation for my family. I closed on a house today that I never imagined I?d find, in the perfect neighborhood, at the perfect price point, with every desire met and no bell or whistle spared. He made my dream of home ownership a reality, and more importantly, he gave me an education about the entire home buying process. He is patient, attentive, fair, honest and kind, and I could not possibly recommend him higher. Jay is the real deal, and if you?re like me and feeling lost at sea, use a life raft and call Jay. Simply the best. I will never use anyone else! (But won?t need to because I LOVE MY HOUSE!!! Thank you Jay! We did it!)

Jay Quigley is the consummate professional whose many years of experience proved to be more than equal to the task of supporting my home search requirements. He won me over with an extensive and detailed understanding of the housing market, location, and challenges. His expert interpersonal skills and communications acumen were stellar, all of which assured me that my needs (and that of my family) were first and foremost in the search. From beginning to end, he provided the right amount of contact, follow-up, and advice to get me into a home with which I would be delighted. Despite three ?under-contracts? and rejected offers too numerous to count, we finally closed on home, all thanks to Jay?s commitment and dedication. I highly recommend Jay as your agent of choice.

Jay Quigley did a phenomenal job! He is very knowledgeable and truely wants to make his clients happy. Jay made this process so easy for me, he followed up frequently, and left nothing to fall in the cracks. In addition, he really has the ability of connecting with people. I will refer him to everyone I know! Thank you Jay, you're the best!

Jay is a superb Real Estate agent! He is extremely knowledgeable about the entire process from start to finish. He was able to help us close on our home despite the many obstacles we faced. We had a short period of time to find the right home for us in this super competitive market. He?s an excellent problem solver!! When our lender almost cost us not closing, Jay helped with a genius resolution! Thank you again Jay for all of your help! We?ll make sure to refer you to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Tampa Bay Area!!

We appreciate Jay's knowledge of the market to help us get the best deal on our home sale. He is such a nice guy and was very easy to work with. He was available any time for our questions and responded quickly.

Jay was referred to us by our realtor in Ocala to help us find a home to rent in Tampa. He quickly jumped into action and through his excellent realtor-to-realtor negotiating skills, was able to help us find a great temporary home. Jay continued to communicate with us on a regular basis, knowing we would be ready to purchase our "forever home" when the time was right. Somehow, he knew exactly when that would be and helped us find the property we will be moving into after some updating and personalization. He went above and beyond to help facilitate a difficult situation with language barriers and other less than helpful professionals. Amazingly, he made it seamless and absorbed most of the frustration and angst associated with buying a home in such a volatile market. If we ever find ourselves in need of a realtor's services, we won't have to look far because we not only found a great realtor when we moved to Tampa, but a great friend.

Jay Quigley provided excellent service with the sale of our home. He provided helpful advice and made us feel confident in our decision. He is very professional and thorough with all the details required with our transaction. Highly recommend Jay!

Jay is a phenomenal agent! From our first meeting all the way until closing of our home Jay did not disappoint one bit. He knows absolutely everything there is to know about real estate and he uses his knowledge to empower his clients. His communication skills are unbeatable. Every single question was answered in a timely manner and he was always a text or call away. His reminder emails were incredibly helpful being an extremely busy first responder. Buying a home in this market can definitely be challenging however Jay is an expert negotiator and we were able to get our home in a very short amount of time. Overall my experience with Jay has exceeded my expectation. He is an amazing real estate agent and such an asset to have on your team whether you are the seller or buyer. If you're looking for a well rounded agent who is a professional but also leads with integrity and who has a passion for what he does then you have found the right person.

Jay far surpassed all expectations and requirements! He was kind, intelligent, and a shrewd businessman. We count ourselves blessed to have had him on our side during such an important venture. He will be our realtor from this day forward.

Jay has been one of the most professional person that i have meet. Very patient with me during my 2 year hunt for a house. Always looking out for my best interest.

Jay is an absolute professional! As a Realtor?, It is hard to come by another agent that is as thorough, professional and communicative as Jay was. His integrity and passion was evident throughout the process and it was a true pleasure working with him.

Jay Quigley was absolutely outstanding and extremely responsive to every question. This was a challenge since we live in California and he helped us purchase a home in Tampa. He was professional, personable, and very knowledgeable. Words can't express how appreciative we were for his help and guidance.

Enjoyed working with you

I had a great experience right from the start to finish. All my questions were answered in a timely manner and the service was excellent!

Very professional and efficient job

Jay Quigley and FER were great to work with and made the the home buying experience quite positive, even in this challenging sellers market. Jay was easy to work with, nice guy, smart in so many ways, and incredibly responsive. If you need an agent, call Jay. No doubt he will take care of you and make it happen!

Jay made us feel like we were his only client. He immediately answered phone calls, texts, and emails. He was always helpful and pleasant. If he didn?t know the answer to our questions he would quickly find them. We felt he was honest and truly cared that we find our dream home. I cannot say enough good about Jay as a realtor and a person.

When my wife and I decided to make the plunge and move to the Land O Lakes FL area from California, we did not realize what w were actually looking for in a home. A close friend recommended us to contact her friend in Florida who is a Real Estate agent as well, but not in that immediate area. She then recommended Jay Quigley right away and we had the good fortune to have a professional business relationship and friendship with Jay. He was an absolute pleasure to work with, helping my wife and myself with the various decisions and choices that couples have to make when choosing where to begin the next phase of life. Jay?s knowledge of the area, business connections and advice helped to make our ultimate new home choice an easy decision. I would highly recommend Jay to anyone, friend or stranger, who was looking to relocate to the Land O Lakes or Tampa area. Jay is truly an individual who cares about getting his clients to the right outcome as I am sure he has been for all past and will be for all future clients that he encounters.

Moving from a long way away Jay helped us to find the perfect house at the perfect time! At a time when the Florida housing market was skyrocketing, Jay helped us get the house we wanted most on our FIRST offer. He helped negotiate a price well BELOW asking that ended up being the exact appraisal value. At every point of the process, he was a solid sounding board and very responsive. He is the best realtor you could hope for!

Jay and Brian were exactly what one could hope for in realtors. They provided expert guidance, reassurance, and peace of mind during the stressful process of selling my home. Since I initially had my home listed for sale by owner, Jay and Brian were able to come in and sell my home incredibly fast while ensuring I got a great price. I literally couldn?t have done it without them ...believe me, I tried!

Jay was a tremendous help when we sold our house in Land O Lakes. He was there whenever we had questions and really acted as a partner in the process. He took the time to actually listen to our goals and made suggestions as to how to reach those. His expertise was invaluablen I couldn't recommend him any more highly.

The purchase of our home would not have happened without the knowledge, guidance, and care of Jay Quigley. His understanding of the market trends, our needs, and sellers in our current market gave us an edge as home buyers. Jay is honest and willing to speak truth. It wasn't always what we wanted to hear, but definitely what we needed to hear and understand to successfully navigate this seller's market. Most importantly, Jay cared for us like family. He looked out for us during the ups and downs of the home search process. He was there day and evening to keep us focused and positive until we found our forever home. We are so grateful to Jay for guiding us to our home!

Jay was absolutely amazing! Finding a great place for an awesome price is very hard to do, but Jay made it seem effortless! I?m beyond thankful for his help & would 100% recommend him to anyone & everyone! Make Jay your first call!

Realtor Jay Quigley was very helpful, knowledgeable, and patient (especially with me, John Hughes) during the process of selling our house. He did everything in a professional, ethical, and Godly way. We couldn't have asked for a Realtor more suited to our needs. It was a pleasure working with him, even from 3 time zones away. John and Pam Hughes

Jay is observant, professional, and knows how to lighten up any situation. He keeps your head on your shoulders when it comes to the emotional rollercoaster aspect of house shopping. He is responsible and won?t let you settle for less. He abides by his moral code and always looks out for your best interest. Highly recommend!

My wife and I recently moved to Tucson, AZ, and needed to sell our house. We met Jay through my brother-in-law, and newly minted Realtor himself. We?re more than pleased with how he took an interest in us and our situation, advocating for us and guiding us through the selling process, is even though we were already in Arizona for the bulk of the transaction. I would recommend Jay highly to anyone who needs to sell or buy a house. Thanks again, Jay, for all your hard work and dedication to your profession.
