It's a pleasure to e-meet you. I'm Jay.

​

If you’re reading this because you’re considering selling your home, let me start with what probably matters most to you: we don’t believe our job is simply to list your property. Our job is to sell it.

​

That distinction drives everything we do.

​

Every listing we take on begins with an honest conversation about value, positioning, timing and what it will actually take to get you successfully to the closing table. We won’t tell you an inflated number simply because it’s the number you want to hear—or because it helps us win the listing. An overpriced home that sits on the market can cost a seller time, leverage and ultimately money.

​

Our approach is different: thoughtful pricing, exceptional presentation, strategic marketing, constant communication and hands-on negotiation from beginning to end.

For many years now, 100% of the listings and buyer clients we have represented have successfully closed. That track record is something Gil and I are incredibly proud of, because behind every one of those closings is a client who trusted us with an important chapter of their life.

​

My own story started a very long way from Los Angeles.

​

I was born in a remote French territory in the South Pacific, and because of my parents’ love of travel and adventure, I grew up living on four continents—constantly adapting to new countries, cultures, people and spaces. From a very early age, I became aware of how differently people live, what makes a place feel comfortable or inspiring, and how much our surroundings shape the way we experience a home.

​

As a child, constantly starting over wasn’t always easy. But as an adult, I realize it taught me how to quickly understand both people and environments—and how to see a property through more than one set of eyes. That perspective has become one of my greatest strengths in real estate: understanding how a space feels, how it functions, how it presents, and how different buyers may experience it.

​

I want to know what matters to you, what you’re worried about, what a successful outcome looks like for your family—and then build our strategy around it. Just as importantly, years of navigating different personalities and cultures taught me how to read the person on the other side of a negotiation, understand what motivates them and use that knowledge to advocate for you.

​

Early in my real estate career, I took on leadership roles managing agent teams at Sotheby’s International Realty and Keller Williams Realty. From Keller Williams, I was recruited to join John Aaroe Group, then one of Los Angeles’ leading independent luxury brokerages. John Aaroe Group was later acquired by Compass, giving me the opportunity to continue building my business within one of the largest and most recognized residential real estate platforms in the country.

​

In 2026, Gil and I decided to make the move to Beverly & Co’s Beverly Hills office because we wanted greater freedom to represent each client and each property in a truly individual way. As larger brokerage brands became increasingly standardized in how listings were positioned and marketed, we found ourselves wanting more flexibility to think creatively—to build custom strategies, distinctive marketing materials and a presentation tailored specifically to the home rather than forcing every property through the same machine. Beverly & Co gave us that freedom, while still providing the strength of a major luxury platform. For us, that means every client can receive a presentation and marketing package created specifically for their property—distinctive, highly tailored, and designed to be unlike anything else on the market.

​

But my background isn’t exclusively real estate.

​

I earned a Bachelor of Business Administration focused on Marketing and Finance, with additional studies in Civil Engineering and Statistics, while studying in Australia, the United States and Hong Kong. Before real estate, I also worked in Information Technology, leading teams of programmers for an international technology company operating between Los Angeles and Colombia.

​

It may sound like an unusual combination. In practice, it’s incredibly useful.

Finance helps me understand the numbers. Marketing helps me position your property. Technology helps us reach buyers where they actually are. Statistics keeps our recommendations grounded in data. And years of negotiating real estate transactions teach you when to push, when to listen and how to keep a deal together when things get complicated.

​

Today, Gil and I bring all of that together for our clients across Los Angeles, Palm Springs and many other states and countries through our referral partners.

​

You’ll never be treated like another address in our portfolio. We are hands-on, accessible and personally invested in the outcome. If we recommend a price, a repair, a staging decision or a negotiating position, we’ll tell you why. You may not always hear what you expected to hear—but you will always hear what we genuinely believe gives you the strongest chance of winning.

​

Because ultimately, your home doesn’t need another listing agent. It needs someone committed to getting it sold.

​

And if you’re buying, you deserve exactly the same commitment to finding the right home, protecting your interests and getting you successfully through the front door.

I’d love to hear your story—and learn what you’re hoping to accomplish next. Talk soon!
