Jay helped us sell our house after we already moved out of the area. The water heater started leaking and Jay facilitated the entire process and went to make sure it was replaced and everything looked satisfactory. He is very responsive and will give you trustworthy advice. He helped us sell the house for a value that we were happy with. We highly recommend using Jay.

Jay Ho is one of the best Real Estate Agents in the Northern Virginia area. We began our search for a home in early 2021 during the peak of Covid. Jay was always very responsive, respectful, patient, and very easy to talk to. We looked at many homes throughout our search and throughout each and every one Jay would answer any questions we had and made sure we were comfortable throughout the entire process. After several months and many declined offers, we finally found our home! Since we are first time buyers, we were always asking questions about everything; big or small. Each time Jay was there for us, every step of the way. We are so grateful for all the hard work and dedication Jay put into helping us find our home. He is truly one of the best and most professional Real Estate Agents in the area!

After our first experience working with Jay a few years ago on the purchase of our first home, we knew we had to use him again once we decided we were going to move. Jay was always available, provided us with listings as soon as they came out and made sure we understood the pros and cons of each home we went to see. When we finally made an offer he helped guide us in the negotiation process and made sure we got the best out of it. We can’t say enough good things about our experience and will recommend him over and over again

Jay helped me buy a new home in the area. He was very easy to work with and understood that we had a specific area in mind. Once we found our new home, Jay explained what the next steps would be and made the process go along smoothly. He also was able to negotiate for a little bit of money back during the process. Jay was always available when I needed to get in contact, and he always kept me up to date with any news. Jay also helped me find a tenant for another property. He recommended various improvements to make the place more attractive to prospective tenants. Once the property went on the market, he showed the place to a number of tenants, screened multiple applicants, and helped me get a lease signed, all within a week. I would highly recommend Jay.

Jay is a profesiional agent, very nice guy, never miss out phone calls, and answer all questions we have with patience. We have been on the house hunting for several weeks and he went to show me houses every weekend without any complaints. When I find the house I am interested, he walks through with me in every step and always has the interest of the client in mind.

Jay responded quickly and always showed up on time, if not earlier. Once we were under contract for buying, he promptly scheduled the action items needed. He was professional and kept us informed throughout the entire buying process.

I have bought and sold in total 6 properties from condos to 3 family homes. I have dealt with many real estate agents. Jay is by far the best. Jay is very knowledgeable about the Northern Virginia area. He is very professional through the whole process. Jay is highly efficient and has a very quick responsive turn around time to e-mails, phone calls or text messages. We would highly recommend Jay to be your real estate agent. We will definitely use Jay in the future.

Jay was a massive help buying my home in Maryland. I'm a first time home buyer, and he was a massive asset in helping me to find homes to look at and then navigate the process of making an offer and subsequent back and forth. I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a house.

I highly recommend Jay Ho as your go-to realtor. Jay initially found a rental property for me over two years ago when I was trying to make a quick move to Virginia from Colorado. He was extremely patient and determined to find the right place for myself and the three dogs who were making the move with me. Through the whole process Jay kept me informed, and made all of the necessary phone calls and coordination to ensure a smooth transition. Due to his due diligence I was able to secure a place to live before arriving and was able to move in immediately with no issues. This relieved a great deal of stress from an already highly stressful time. Two years later, I was ready to purchase my own house in the area and reached out to Jay once again for assistance. Jay has the most patience of any person I know, I had a long list of items I wanted for my new house and he didn’t blink. I thought I’d be able to find a house relatively quickly, that turned out to not be the case. Over the course of six long months Jay lined up several house walk-throughs, even during the COVID restrictions without any complaints. Always optimistic, we finally found the right house. Jay was instrumental in walking me through the dreaded closing process. He was always available to answer any questions I had. Even after closing, Jay has continued to ensure that the move has gone smoothly and followed up with any requests I had. Again, if you’re looking for a realtor who goes above and beyond to get the job done for his clients, Jay is the realtor for you.

Jay helped list our home for rental twice and was able to find tenants for us very quickly. He is always on time for our appointments, which showed that he respects our time.

I have dealt with numerous realtors but none has the attentiveness, thoroughness, and dedication of Jay Ho. Jay is very experience and stays current with the changes in the property market. He took the time to explain the pros and cons of each property that we viewed, and provided valuable insights on the realtor market that assisted us in our decision. From negotiating to the closing of the purchase contract, Jay followed through and guided us on every steps of the process. He even recommended a few mortgage financing companies that provide competitive rates for us to consider. Jay is friendly, courteous, reliable, reachable and a good communicator. We highly recommend him to anyone that is seeking a new home or investment properties. Thank you Jay, for making our buying experience an easy one!

We were first time buyers, and a bit pressed for time to buy. We got in touch with Jay, and he was able to show us many, many houses in just a few days. Jay was very helpful with the showings, always giving tips and advice that were relevant to our needs, and never making us feel rushed at all. After we picked a house, he guided us through the rest of the process, answering all of our many questions, and preparing us ahead of time for every decision we had to make. Being first-time buyers, having fast answers really makes a difference, and Jay always responded quickly via phone, text, and email. You can tell he is very, very familiar with all the nooks and crannies of the process. Having Jay in our corner, we felt completely comfortable through the whole buying process.

We arrived in the US only two years ago. When we first arrived, Jay helped us finding a place for us to rent. After renting for one year we were ready to purchase our own house. We were first time buyers and also not familiar with the whole process in the US. Jay found us an incredible place that we absolutely love. But not only that: He also suggested an excellent mortgage broker, a very thorough home inspector and a competent general contractor for some work that needed to be done. Importantly, Jay was always responsive at every step of the process.We read a previous review unsatisfied with Jay’s negotiation skills. Well, that was certainly not our experience. After the home inspection revealed some needed repairs, Jay took immediate action and was able to obtain a significant price reduction that was beyond our expectations. We do not expect to stay in the area for more than few years. When the time will come to resell or rent our home, we have no doubt that Jay will be our realtor for the third time!

Jay's professional instints and knowledge have proven invaluable in my search for a new condo. With his guidance and negotiation skills, I was able to purchase the place that I am living in now, even though it initially appeared to be unaffordable for me. His way of open and honest communication helped me understand the market and play the game right. Thanks Jay!

Being our first home, I have heard countless tales of unscrupulous real estate agents who are only concerned about their bottom line. How lucky, then, that Jay ended up being our agent! From day one, he made sure that we found the place that was right for us. I have no doubt he would have stuck by us even if it took 2 years but thankfully, it didn't! He pointed out issues in houses we didn't even think of that would have led to serious problems down the road. I couldn't recommend him highly enough. If you are looking for a professional, responsive, friendly, and overall great guy, look no further. You've found him.
