Bio:
Jay embarked on his real estate career in 1989 at the young age of 18, leveraging the
wisdom and mentorship of industry veterans to make an early impact. Specialising in
innovative transaction structures like "Equity Trade" and "Subject To," Jay helped buyers
transition from their existing homes while facilitating the sale of builder projects. This
expertise quickly garnered attention from local and national banks, propelling Jay into a role
where he managed thousands of defaulted mortgages and foreclosures nationwide.
Beyond his professional achievements, Jay has been a dedicated community leader. His
service includes roles in the Boys & Girls Club Board of Directors, the Board of Advisors for
Chevron Oil, various police departments, and the Board of Trustees for Adventist Hospital. In
these capacities, Jay provided critical advice on operational and development issues,
including acquisition, entitlement, financing, and fundraising.
Currently focusing on commercial lending, Jay continues to leverage his extensive network,
representing government agencies, national banks, insurance companies, and hedge funds
in managing defaulted loans, loss mitigation, and asset disposition. His comprehensive
knowledge ensures that whether you're navigating your first home purchase, apartment
building investment, or development project, you have the expert guidance and insights
needed for success from A to Z.
