About Aaron

I'm a licensed California real estate broker and Broker/Owner who has called Chico home since 1994, with roots as a small business owner and community member going back to 1998. I entered real estate in 2010 and became Broker/Owner of City of Trees Realty Group, Inc. in 2021. I graduated from California State University, Chico with a Bachelor of Arts in American Studies and Geography, and I've built my career on deep knowledge of this region and genuine investment in the people who live here. I hold the Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) designation, earned by fewer than 3 percent of Realtors nationwide, along with the Graduate, Realtor Institute (GRI) and Military Relocation Professional (MRP) certifications. I'm a member of the National Association of Realtors, California Association of Realtors, and California Regional Multiple Listing Service, and currently serve as Secretary on the 2026 Board of Directors for the Sierra North Valley Association of Realtors. I actively serve the Northern Sacramento Valley, including Butte, Tehama, and Glenn counties. Beyond real estate, I'm an Eagle Scout with Palms and a charter member of the Active 20-30 Club of Chico, where I technically co-founded the Margarita Mix-Off, an event raising money for children's charities throughout Butte County. I also served as Vendor Coordinator for multiple Chico Air Shows. When I'm not working, you'll find me camping, boating, chasing aviation adventures, or best of all, spending time with my wife Tamara and our two kids.

Dependable and Truly Exceptional

My sisters and I cannot recommend Aaron Jay highly enough. After our parents passed away unexpectedly in an accident, we were faced with the difficult task of selling their home while all living out of town. From the very beginning, Aaron went above and beyond to help us navigate an emotional and challenging process. Because we lived out of town, there were many things we couldn't do ourselves, and Aaron was always willing to step in and help. He was quick to respond to calls and texts, keeping us informed and giving us confidence that everything was being handled properly. Aaron is friendly, sincere, trustworthy, and hard working. His strong network of local contacts was invaluable. No matter what challenge came up, Aaron either had a solution or knew the right person to call. Most importantly, he treated our family with kindness, compassion, and respect during a very difficult time. We are incredibly grateful for his guidance, support, and dedication, and we would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor they can trust.

Aaron is knowledgeable about real estate transactions, communicates clearly and promptly, and is a very friendly person to work with. Overall our experience was fairly easy going when considering how many processes and procedures go into a property deal. He made every effort to ensure we were taken care of and he looked out for our best interests. Thanks Aaron!

Greatly appreciative of Aaron Jay's knowledge of real estate.

Aaron Jay's experience in real estate was very helpful. From marketing, constant communications, recommending persons for cleaning, repairs, maintenance, and staging. There were immediate offers on the property after the first open house and a quick closing of escrow. Aaron was pleasant and patient to work with. I highly recommend Aaron.
