Jay Becker - Pacific Sotheby's Int'l Realty

I met Jay Becker through a friend who had just sold her home. She told me how professional he had been and how happy she was with the outcome. So Jay was who I called to sell my home of 23 years. He and his associate Daren Preece promoted and advertised the house in many different places; print, digital and even television. They were always available to me and kept me up to date on all efforts to sell my property for the highest possible amount. Jay is an experienced agent and effective negotiator. He was able to get me what I wanted for the home. Daren is a master digital marketer. They make a great team! I so appreciated their professionalism and positive energy at a time that was extremely stressful for me. From the first day of the listing until closing day they were both a pleasure to work with.

We commenced our property search from outside of the USA pending a move to California and found Jay. He was extremely helpful from day one and provided us with huge amounts of information on California and San Diego in particular to a point that when we arrived we had a great insight into what and where we would like to look. On our arrival Jay made himself totally available to us and spent as much time as we demanded with us. With his advice we found a perfect home in a perfect location, however his help did not end there, being new he advised us on property insurance and how to find tradesmen for a re-model of our house, on which he gave very positive advice.For that personal relationship with tremendous knowledge of the local housing market Jay Becker is the without doubt the "go to" person.

Jay knows the San Diego's neighborhoods and helped us find the right vibe for us. He showed us several suitable homes for our needs and helped us find the perfect spot. He was very thorough and responsive during the whole process. I always felt confident with Jay and knew we were in good hands. He helped us negotiate a good price and got a great house. He followed through on every step including even going to City Hall to verify the builder's plans were filed correctly. Highly recommend!! Jay is awesome! Would use again anytime.

I honestly never take the time to do reviews, but the professionalism, responsiveness, work effort, and expert guidance Jay Becker gave my wife and I was absolutely outstanding. This was our second home, so we knew about the process and generally what to expect, but Jay made the search, the bidding, and closing the transaction so seamless. Any hiccup (not by Jay, but from the seller, seller's agent, title company, etc.) was immediately addressed and a solution was provided. I can't say enough great things about Jay. We are now very happy owners of a beautiful home in the San Elijo Hills area. Thank you Jay - we look forward to working with you in the future!

I searched for recommendations for a realtor to help me find a condominium in San Diego. I was living in Florida and wanted to deal with someone that would take an active search role for my new home. Jay Becker came highly recommended and I found out that he is one of the best. He was able to complete the purchase for me while I stayed in Florida. His communications were always timely and informative. His sage advice has allowed me to find an excellent new home. Many thanks to Jay and his team for their professionalism.

The whole process from head to start has far exceeded our expectations. Jay has gone far and beyond with his services from being aggressive but professional with marketing/staging/photography, courteous and communicative with every process and questions, and very knowledgeable and skillful in handling every situation. We put our trust in him and he took care of us in return. We would use him all over again!

We met Jay Becker at one of his listings when we were only casually looking. That house wasn't right but Jay's enthusiasm for the area turned us into serious buyers while his experience, knowledge and low-pressure style convinced us he was the right fit for our agent. He immediately confirmed our decision with his insightful assessment of the list of houses we had identified. He listened to and observed our reactions during showings to come up with additional properties. Jay even took notes on each property, so that he could help us remember things about the different houses. When we were a little stuck, Jay proactively searched out under construction properties and listings not yet on the market. Throughout the search process we found his advice invaluable and directed at finding a house to meet our needs foremost. He was very patient, never pressured us and was always responsive. Once we found the right house, he went to work to make it ours. He offered advice on the offer and then successfully negotiated to get it for less than what we would have paid. Jay was just as attentive after contract acceptance as he was during the search. There were some repairs needed that many sellers would not have done, but Jay got them to do everything we asked for. His negotiating style is not antagonistic at all, which preserved a good relationship with the seller. He kept in close contact during the process leading up to closing to ensure that nothing fell through the cracks. When we had a reluctant title officer, he called someone he knew to walk the property and make us feel completely comfortable. He continued to check on repair progress up to the final walk-through. Even after closing, Jay has continued to work for us, checking in to make sure everything is okay. We always felt that he put our needs first. His integrity, thoroughness, work ethic and experience make it easy for us to recommend him to anyone looking for a new home. Next time we move, hiring Jay Becker as our agent will be the first step!

Working with Jay was a great experience. When I first started my home search, I found Jay's contact information and he spoke with me for almost an hour about the process, my different options, etc. He never asked for my contact info and clearly had no intention of hounding me for my business. He was so generous with his information and willingness to help, I knew I would work with him when the time came to begin my search. By the time I selected a property, Jay went above and beyond to get my offer accepted. This was a long shot, but he was committed to helping me without suggesting continuous haggling and negotiation. During escrow and the natural anxiety that comes with a home purchase, Jay talked me through my questions and kept me confident in my decision. I highly recommend Jay as a realtor who will work hard to put you in a new home within your budget and that you will love.

I had the pleasure to meet Jay Becker as soon as I moved from Sao Paulo, Brazil to San Diego. My husband and I didn’t know any brokers in the city and we needed a broker to rent a place. Luckily our paths crossed Jay Becker’s path and since then we rented a condo in La Jolla, we bought a condo in Pacific Beach, we later sold this condo and we bought a house in La Jolla, all with Jay’s Impeccable guidance. All those transactions were very successful because Jay Becker kept an eye on the market and even got us into homes before they hit the market. Having an agent that we trust made the process stress free and enjoyable. Jay Becker was above our expectations every step of the way on both sides, the buy side and listing side of the business, our sale achieved top market price re-setting the neighborhood comps and he found us our dream house in La Jolla and we couldn’t be happier. We truly recommend Jay if you are looking for an outstanding broker. He is an expert and a perfectionist on everything he touches. He won’t be satisfied if you are not satisfied.

Jay went above and beyond in helping list, market, stage, show and sell my home. He even went so far as to clean up after my tenants before showing the house.

we bought a house and sold a condo with Jay's superb guidance. I am convinced that we would not have been as successful with either transaction without Jay's amazing skill as a thoughtful, smart, caring real estate broker. I know, these qualities are so rare in this tough business but never once have I felt that Jay wanted anything but our happiness and watched him work tirelessly on our behalf, managing our expectations, thinking outside the box and caring every step of the way. I am grateful that he was our broker and would recommend him ( and already have) without reservation 100% of the time

We had recently bought a house thru Jay Becker. Ours was one of the tough Escrows as the seller party was least cooperative and had extremely difficult selling agent. Here is where Jay's vast experience in handling differrent kinds of Transaction came into play. Jay handled this extremely difficult selling agent in whatever best possible way he could. In many cases he went above and beyond that buyer's i.e. mine interests are taken care of.... Our was competitive situation where we came across multiple offers. Jay's wisdom in tackling a tough Seller Agent along with thought process in terms of how to win a multiple offer situation proved to be boon for us. It was due to Jay's sharp mind and situation awareness that we were able to have our offer selected amongst multiple offers In our situation Seller wished to continue staying in the house for a month or so after close of Escrow. Jay made sure that proper Move-in/ Move-out form was filled up making sure SELLER continues to take care of the house in best possible even while he was renting. Since, I have been first time home buyer, I had tons of questions and confusions. Jay was always extremely patient with me and like a great mentor kept guiding me across thru the entire process. Many a times, he called me at night just in case he was busy during day and patienty explained me what our next steps should be in the process. Just to conclude will say that Jay is great Realtor and proves every penny's worth during Home Buying or Selling process. He is all about taking care his client's interest and leaves no stone unturned to make sure the Clients rights and interests are full protected and makes every effort to get the Transaction/Escrow process close smoothly and in his client's favor. I strongly recommend Jay Becker for Realty Needs. Without any doubt, would chose Jay again in future if needed. Regards, Rishi
