Jay joined Sotheby's International Realty after a rewarding career in real estate investment and finance. He distinguishes his success in the business with an emphasis on helping clients achieve their transactional milestones at their own pace. With the brand power, assets, strength, and global reach of Sotheby's International Realty, Jay is able to provide his clientele with exceptional representation in the purchase or sale of unique properties.

As a longtime resident of the Westside of Los Angeles, Jay worked as a co-marketing VP of Edmonds Record Group and also Island Def Jam. With the onset of the housing boom, he began purchasing homes in the West Valley with oversight from initial purchase and renovation to listed and sold status. It was then that he was bit by the real estate bug, soon becoming co-owner of a mortgage company in Encino, CA. Spearheading its meteoric rise, he acquired in-depth knowledge of real estate finance, which is indicative of his understanding for the business in its entirety. This encouraged him to lend a hand on the agency side of his transactions.

With every new transaction, Jay chooses integrity and satisfying the needs of his clients as his focal points of success.
