Jay helped my parents find the home they are now in. There weren’t a lot of homes available in their price range when they were looking but Jay took us to see all that were a possible match. She went above and beyond to help them find the one that best met their needs and they are absolutely delighted with it. She recommended a reputable home inspector and someone to replace the oil furnace. Everything has worked out very well and we would highly recommend Jay to others. We look forward to working with Jay again in the future!

We wanted to purchase a cottage on Lake of Bays and our neighbours in North Toronto suggested we give Jay Richardson a call. We had a cottage many years before on Lake Muskoka, but felt as if we were almost new cottagers because although we loved the ruggedness and beauty of Lake of Bays we did not know anything about the lake or the cottage values.

I am so pleased we were able to work with Jay. She was professional, polished and she knew exactly how to uncover what we really wanted in a waterfront property. She went over and above in answering all our extensive questions in a timely manner. She worked with us over five months and showed us many cottages. She found our dream cottage and called me to say “I have it!” Sure enough when we arrived the following morning to see the cottage it was true – it was absolutely perfect. The transaction was seamless. I highly recommend Jay Richardson. She is a credit to her profession – I would never think of suggesting anyone else to deal with when buying or selling a cottage!! Thank you Jay!

We are writing this letter to highly recommend Jay Richardson and her team as outstanding real estate professionals. My family and I recently had the pleasure of working with Jay during the sale of our cottage and we were totally satisfied with the exceptional service we received throughout the entire process.

From our first meeting, Jay demonstrated a thorough knowledge of the local real estate market and a solid understanding of our needs and preferences. Jay took the time to explain the current market conditions, which helped us set realistic expectations for selling. Her attention to detail and thorough preparation ensured that our home was priced appropriately and marketed effectively, resulting in a quick, hassle free sale. Jay and her team helped us prepare our property for the sale, often going well beyond our expectations.

Quite apart from the team’s professionalism, they were a delight to work with at all times. We wholeheartedly recommend the Jay Richardson Team to others in need of real estate services.

It is with pleasure we write this letter of recommendation for Jay Richardson. Jay was referred to us by a cottage owner on Lake of Bays, she had become well acquainted with cottage real estate and guided us to use Jay as our “go to Lake of Bays Agent,” we were not disappointed.

Jay listened to our cottage criteria and actively sough to find properties that matched our personalized checklist. She scheduled visits to cottages on rather restricted weekend timelines. Her knowledge of Lake of Bays, past and present, was impressive. Any queries ranging from potential asbestos insulation to shore road allowances were dealt with expertly and professionally. All aspects of the real estate transaction including lawyer interaction was handled seamlessly. Finally, after owning the property for a few days, Jay went out of her way to recommend and contact trades people to assist us- an obvious indication of a professional working beyond the norm.

We love our cottage and have been enjoying the summer creating new family memories. Jay Richardson is exceptional and anyone fortunate to work with her will not be disappointed.
