There are many reasons why Jay Overbye's satisfied buyers and sellers praise him with comments like, “You're not the typical broker,” “You make my life so much easier,” and “I wouldn't want to work with anyone else.” First and most important, Jay listens carefully to clients' needs, always keeping in mind their concerns and best interests.
Jay also capably breaks down the intricate real estate process to make it understandable, manageable, even enjoyable. “Buying or selling a home in New York City is both exhilarating and intimidating,” says Jay, who strives to provide open communication, honest guidance and a thorough market education every step of the way. “It's my job to streamline a transaction so there are no surprises, and so clients can make decisions with confidence.”
A native New Yorker who resides on the Upper West Side, Jay also brings a unique perspective, seasoned knowledge and passion for his work to every real estate deal. His vast market insight and contagious enthusiasm for the city's history, properties and neighborhoods further fuel his proven track record of success, as do the unparalleled dedication, professionalism and integrity for which he's known. Plus when it comes to skillfully facilitating the art of the deal, Jay's exceptional negotiating acumen, marketing savvy and ability to effectively navigate the co-op process ensure a smooth, successful outcome.
What's more, Jay boasts an extensive business background which prepared him well for quality customer service he continually brings to the table. Prior to entering real estate, he enjoyed an illustrious career in advertising and public relations with such renowned institutions as the Cleveland Indians, Young & Rubicam, and Ziff Davis Publishing. He subsequently capitalized on his entrepreneurialism as founder and director of a computer technology firm in Chicago that grew to become a multi-million-dollar operation in just nine years.
While totally committed to his work, Jay is an avid American and English history buff and international traveler who's visited over 20 different countries. Yet his favorite place of all is by far New York City. Jay also spends leisure time enjoying the arts, golf, boating, baseball, and managing Halstead's softball team. He equally enjoys giving back to others as he mentors a foster child in Brooklyn. And if you think you recognize him from somewhere other than the closing table, you may have seen Jay in his appearance on the hit ABC reality show, “The Bachelor,” season six.
