We have had the pleasure of working with Jay as both buyers and sellers. In both situations Jay helped us to close deals that may not have happened with a lesser agent.

As buyers, we found that Jay was consistently well organized and very knowledgeable about the properties we wanted to see. She helped us to see the additional details that increased or reduced the value of each property. We were very impressed with Jay’s ability to follow through and complete commitments to us. Our purchase was a conditional one that spanned several months. Jay stayed in touch with us and helped to find  common ground when the purchase looked like it might fall apart. We were delighted with the house that Jay helped us to buy.

As sellers, we were even more impressed. Jay made the listing process easy for us and made our house look terrific. We had many showing and a good offer within weeks. During the offer and negotiation process is where Jay has abilities that are well above any other agents we have worked with. She helped us to see our options, let us make the decisions and kept the paperwork to a minimum. She worked hard through several weekends to help close our sale quickly.

Even more impressive is that Jay was representing both buyers and sellers in both of our transactions. Jay helped us to get the best deal without compromising any of our information. We both trust Jay entirely and would certainly work with her again.

I have had the pleasure of working with Jay and her team again. Jay sold me my beloved cottage on Lake of Bays and now 8 years later has helped me pass my families’ great summer joys to another.

I had a previous experience in my effort to sell. However, Jay met with me personally, reviewed the attributes of my cottage, made very valid suggestions that a new buyer would appreciate, even hired the experts to ensure the small details were perfect. No detail was too small- in short time my cottage had beautiful flowers outside, gorgeous yellow Muskoka chairs on the dock and a great video and brochure!! I sold in 2 weeks, slightly below listing!! That is a great Realtor®!! I would recommend the Richardson Team for buying or selling- they are the best!!!

The only agent to use in the Lake of Bays area! Jay is knowledgeable, resourceful and knows the Lake of Bays market extremely well. Jay was communicative, honest about what to expect and took excellent care of us. We never once felt that we would have any issues. We left everything in her capable hands and she and her team (Dave and Cam) went above and beyond to take care of any issues/needs we had. We highly recommend Jay and the Richardson Team and I would use her again in an instant to find/sell property in the area – truly an outstanding realtor!!. Thank you, thank you Jay, Dave and Cam.
