Testimonials
Jay Terry was introduced to me as a good candidate for a real estate agent for the sale of my farm. At first introduction to Jay Terry I felt comfortable handing him the key to my home. He was diligent in setting up showings with clear notice so that I could have the home available, as I was still living in the home. Jay Terry was helpful in showing me the best way to prepare my farm for those showings. When the offer came in that was acceptable to sell, Jay Terry explained the contract, the waiting period and the move out. He was helpful to make sure the transaction was an easy transition. I would highly recommend Jay Terry for selling or purchasing a home or land. After the sale of my farm, I continued with Jay Terry in the purchase of my next home. Thank you, Jay Terry for your hard work and diligence.- Gail Dooley
Jay is a great resource when purchasing a home or land. He is extremely knowledgeable and consultative.- Zach D
Jay Terry is very easy to work with while looking for a home in the East Texas area. He proactively listens to your requirements and is diligent on finding homes that meets your criteria. He is very knowledgeable and answers any questions concerning the home and the area quickly and honestly. Jay is also very knowledgeable about land in the areas he services, but we decided to go with less land than we were originally looking for. Not only did Jay go above and beyond to make sure we found the home of our dreams, he helped with questions after the sale to make sure we felt comfortable with our decision. If we ever need a realtor again, he will be our first call.- Kathy Holt
