Seller Client
“It’s an amazing thing to have a Realtor get you everything you asked for but a rare thing yet to have them exceed your expectations in every possible way. Jay Becker is that rare bird. Jay surprised us at every step of the journey from price to time frame to rent back. He exceeded his promises in every single category. Hiring Jay gets you much more than simply a Realtor. He is part sales professional, part MacGyver, and part deal magician. He takes his time and is willing to do whatever it takes to make his clients happy and get them the best deal imaginable. We were amazed at the experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jay Becker for any real estate needs.”
— Teri & David N.

Buyer Client
“Jay Becker is worthy of more than a review, he is worthy of a story. All the good qualities that Jay has as a realtor could not possibly be sufficiently covered in a simple review. For more than 10 years, my husband and I had looked for the right property near the San Diego coast. Unfortunately, my husband passed away and so did my dream of having a home on the coast. Jay has a way of nudging, but not putting pressure on you when it seems the time is right. We found a beautiful custom home/property in Point Loma last summer listed at $9.5 million. The home was beautifully built and the view will never be obstructed. Due to the price, I tried to put it out of my mind. However, with Jay’s incredible persistence and negotiating skills, I ultimately got the property at a significantly lower price! Now, I own my dream home. Jay is the best negotiator I have ever met. He is patient and does not shy away from the hard work. Thanks to Jay, I now have a home that my family will enjoy for years to come.”
— Marilyn C.

Seller & Buyer Client
“Our home sat on the market for months with a different brokerage until the listing eventually expired. When Thomas’s team took it over, they gave our home maximum exposure and it promptly sold. Thomas also worked daily after that to help us find a condo. We found just what we were looking for.”
— Cathy & Jim E.

Buyer Client
“Jay was phenomenal to work with — we can’t imagine having found a better agent in terms of his kindness, local knowledge, attention to detail, negotiation skills, and willingness to go the extra mile to make sure we ended up in a home we absolutely love. We’d been in touch with Jay for 3 years before buying our “forever home” in Del Mar (4k sq. feet, 4 bedrooms, whitewater ocean view, pool & hot tub, multiple decks/terraces, family-friendly & walkable neighborhood, purchased for just under $6m). It was a very competitive process — our bid won in a multiple-offer process in a highly competitive market with limited inventory on the market. Because we were relocating from out of the area, we appreciated how closely Jay monitored the market and the process, communicating with us frequently. From discovery of the various areas we might buy, to zeroing in on Del Mar (originally we’d been more focused on La Jolla), to negotiating the complex process, ironing out all of the final details, and making move preparations run smoothly, Jay absolutely exceeded our expectations. We highly, highly recommend working with him!”
— Robert S.

Seller Client
“Jay Becker, in short, is head and shoulders above any real estate agent I have ever dealt with. I am a retired attorney, so I have quite a bit of experience dealing with service professionals, and Jay is as good as it gets. He goes not just the extra mile, but the extra ten, to get the job done at the highest price possible and in the shortest time imaginable. He takes charge from beginning to end, not just listing the property and holding open houses, but arranging for a professional photo shoot, bringing in a reasonably priced handyman to make repairs that minimized later issues with the inspection report, handling negotiations with numerous buyers who quickly made offers after we listed the house, etc. Jay obtained a sale for our La Jolla property in the $2 million range, well above what similar properties in the neighborhood have sold for and beyond anything we anticipated. Through it all, Jay was not only professional and accommodating of any request we had, but an absolute pleasure to deal with. I could not recommend him more highly.”
— Robert S.

Buyer Client
“I bought my first home through Thomas. What I appreciated most throughout my buying experience was having someone knowledgeable there to help me through the process. I would definitely recommend Thomas for real estate services in the future.”
— Jordan B.
