About Aaron

As a full time, full service Realtor® you have my promise of professionalism, diligence and integrity. Finding homes, researching the market, negotiating contracts, and helping you find a home that meets your expectations is what I do and I am passionate about it! Even more, I appreciate the fact that your purchase or sale of a property is a major financial decisions. It is my goal to make your real estate transaction smooth, easy, and even fun. Your ultimate satisfaction is of utmost importance to me. Whether you are buying or selling, or just want some information before you even start that process, you have come to the right place! Let's have a coffee and chat about houses in this great town of Chico. I look forward to the opportunity to serve you. Some other stuff about Aaron - I’m a licensed California real estate broker and have called Butte County home since 2013 — though my roots as a small business owner and community member go back to 1998. I graduated from California State University, Chico with a Bachelor of Science in American Studies and Geography, and I’ve built my career on a 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% 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 greater Butte County area, including Chico, Durham, Forest Ranch, and Paradise. Beyond real estate, I’m an Eagle Scout with Palms and a charter member of the Active 20-30 Club of Chico, where I co-founded the Margarita Mix-Off — an event that has raised money for children’s charities throughout Butte County. I also served as Vendor Coordinator for multiple Chico Air Shows and founded City of Trees Realty Group in 2013. 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.
