About Jay

Jay Quigley is a Tampa REALTOR, Broker Associate, licensed School Instructor and Tampa native helping buyers and sellers throughout Tampa Bay, including New Tampa, Tampa Palms, Wesley Chapel, Lutz, Land O’ Lakes, Zephyrhills, Dade City, Riverview and Brandon. Growing up, Jay loved music and had a goal of becoming a radio disc jockey. While still in high school, he landed his first radio gig at AM1250 WDAE (also generally regarded as "Florida's First Radio Station"). From there, Jay worked at other local radio stations playing various musical formats and ultimately landing as a producer for a national talk radio network based in Tampa. While still working in radio, Jay enrolled in college and earned an Associate degree in Paralegal Studies and, later, a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. He spent more than two decades working with attorneys, gaining a strong foundation in communication, organization, preparation, advocacy, negotiation, and attention to detail. Today, those skills shape how he represents real estate clients across the Tampa Bay area. Jay works with sellers, buyers, first-time home buyers, relocation clients, military families, seniors, and clients navigating probate, divorce, and other major life transitions. His approach is practical, educational, and client-focused. He helps people understand the market, evaluate their options, and make confident decisions without pressure, confusion, or real estate smoke and mirrors. As a Tampa REALTOR with a Broker License, a School Instructor License, and having acheived the prestigious Florida REALTORS Board Certified Professional designation, Jay brings a strong commitment to education, leadership, and professional growth. He believes the best real estate experience comes from clear communication, honest guidance, smart pricing strategy, strong marketing, skilled negotiation, and a steady hand from contract to closing. Jay is also deeply connected to the community he serves. As a Tampa native, he brings local insight that goes beyond maps, zip codes, and MLS data. He understands the neighborhoods, lifestyle, traffic patterns, schools, restaurants, parks, and everyday details that help buyers and sellers make better decisions. Jay has served his profession as the President of Greater Tampa REALTORS in 2023, served on the Board for the National Association of REALTORS, and continues to serve on the Board for Florida REALTORS. In 2025, Jay was awarded REALTOR of the Year for the Suncoast Tampa Association of REALTORS. Outside of real estate, Jay enjoys live music, vintage audio equipment, Datsun and Nissan car events, great conversations, cigars, bourbon, and grilling or smoking meats. In other words, he knows homes, he knows Tampa, and he probably has an opinion on the best way to smoke a rack of ribs!

Ami Rivera

Broker Associate / REALTOR®

About Ami

Exceptional Living Starts Here. Hi, I'm Ami Rivera, a Broker Associate and REALTOR® with Smith & Associates Real Estate. I proudly serve buyers and sellers throughout Wesley Chapel, Tampa Bay, Pasco County, and surrounding Central Florida communities. My goal is simple: to provide exceptional service while making sure my clients feel educated, empowered, and supported throughout every step of their real estate journey. Buying or selling a home is a major decision, and I believe you deserve more than someone who simply opens doors or lists your property. You deserve an advocate, a strategist, a skilled negotiator, and someone who genuinely listens to what matters most to you. I am honored to be recognized among the top 1% of real estate agents nationally and locally and as a Tampa Bay Real Producers Top 500 Agent. While those accomplishments are meaningful, what matters most to me is the trust my clients place in me and the relationships we build along the way. Before real estate, I earned a graduate degree in Neuroscience from Drexel University College of Medicine and spent 10 years working in professional sports. When the COVID-19 pandemic changed the world of professional sports, I returned to academia and served as an adjunct professor in Biology at the University of South Florida. People often ask how a background in neuroscience translates into real estate. The answer is that it has shaped how I approach nearly everything I do. I am analytical, detail-oriented, strategic, goal-driven, and focused on helping people make confident decisions. My experience in professional sports also taught me the importance of preparation, communication, teamwork, and performing under pressure. Today, I bring those skills to every client relationship and every transaction. My family and I proudly call Wesley Chapel home, and being part of this community is important to me. I believe in giving back and supporting the place where we live and work. I am actively involved with Life Church in Wesley Chapel and donate a portion of each closing toward its efforts to support the local community. Whether you are buying your first home, selling and moving into your next chapter, relocating to the Tampa Bay area, or simply exploring your options, I would be honored to help. My hope is that our relationship does not end at the closing table. I want to be a trusted real estate resource for you, your family, and the people you care about for years to come. Exceptional Living Starts Here. Ami holds the following prestigious Real Estate Certifications/ Designations: (SRS) Seller Representative Specialist, (ABR) Accredited Buyer Representative, (RENE) Real Estate Negotiation Expert, (AHWD) At Home With Diversity, (C2EX) Commitment to Excellence, (PSA) Pricing Strategy Advisor, (CHS) Certified Home Staging, (SFR) Short Sales & Foreclosure Resource. https://amirivera.smithandassociates.com https://www.facebook.com/amiriverarealtor/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/ami-rivera-realtor/ https://www.instagram.com/amiriverarealtor/

Licensed Real Estate Agent

About Sarah

I joined the My Tampa Agent Team in 2015 after moving to Florida from the Northeast. No stranger to the real estate industry, I worked as a commercial real estate paralegal for over 10 years at one of the largest law firms in Chicago. As my family expanded I always knew I would make the transition into residential sales. I serve as the Operations Manager for the Team as well as being a Licensed Agent. I have successfully helped boost exposure and expand our client base through cutting-edge marketing and technology tactics. My many years in the industry and diverse background enables me to offer clients honest and top-notch representation. I believe that mutual respect is crucial and I know that buying and selling a home can be extremely stressful. With my enthusiasm, integrity, and eagerness to provide superior service, I strive to give each client a positive experience built on trust and market knowledge. Real Estate is not only about the transaction, it’s about developing long-lasting relationships

Ami made selling our home in Wesley Chapel a smooth and easy process

Ami made selling our home in Wesley Chapel a smooth and easy process. She is passionate about her role and dedicated to ensuring that her clients are well represented. Ami went above and beyond to protect my husband and I's sanity during a very stressful move. We had a 6th month old baby when we put our home on the market and were dealing with a lot. Ami and her team staged our home, took beautiful photos and videos, and got our home sold by our deadline. I would highly recommend Ami to anyone in the area looking for a real estate agent.

Ami has helped us buy and sell 2 homes

Ami has helped us buy and sell 2 homes. Both times, we were looking for a unicorn home to purchase and Ami not only helped us find the perfect homes for us at different stages in our lives, but she made it seem effortless when the sellers were difficult. Both homes she sold were under contract within 24-48 hours! Even more than that, we have a family friend. Ami is so knowledgeable in her field and we appreciate all she has done for our family!

We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Ami Rivera! Ami did an absolutely incredible job helping us sell our previous home, and from beginning to end, she made the entire experience feel seamless. Her professionalism, knowledge of the local market, attention to detail, communication, and genuine dedication to her clients are second to none. Selling a home can be stressful, but Ami was always there to answer questions, provide guidance, and make sure we felt confident and informed every step of the way. She went above and beyond for our family, and it was very clear throughout the process that she genuinely cared about getting the best possible outcome for us. What makes Ami even more special is that her commitment doesn’t stop when the transaction is complete. She still reaches out, checks on us, sends holiday/birthday cards, and so on! We’ve continued to see the incredible work she does as a Realtor throughout our local community. She truly cares about the people and families she serves, and she has built a reputation that reflects how much passion, integrity, and effort she puts into what she does. If you’re looking for a Realtor who is knowledgeable, hardworking, responsive, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in her clients, we wholeheartedly recommend Ami Rivera. She is exceptional at what she does, and we wouldn’t hesitate for a second to work with her again. Thank you, Ami, for everything you did for our family and for continuing to be such an amazing part of our community. Five stars doesn’t feel like enough!
