Jay Portlance

As first-time homebuyers, my spouse and I had a lot of questions that Jay answered quickly and nicely. Jay knows how difficult and fast-moving the DC-area market can be for buyers, so his speed in setting up viewings and drafting offers was particularly important to us. He really made us feel like we were his only clients by being available at all hours and being patient with all our needs and requests. I can hardly recommend Jay enough to other buyers looking in DC or Northern Virginia..

Jay did a perfect job for us. When we started looking for our first home we felt excited but also concerned about how competitive DC and northern VA can be. He helped us look at areas that met our requirements for Metro access and we ended up closing on a beautiful old house that is very us. Throughout the process we relied on Jay’s experience and felt reassured by his proactive approach and his easygoing style (he always responded to our questions and helped us feel positive and relaxed) thanks Jay!

I bought my first house through Jay. He was very patient and easy to talk to about what I wanted. His communication and people skills are outstanding. Knowing he was handling the details, reduced my stress level. He did a great job start to finish.

Very pleased with Jay's patience and thorough work to bring my closing about so quickly. He has a genuine, caring attitude. He was able to narrow my ideal home on only a few walk-throughs. Once I found what I was seeking, Jay diligently brought about a quick closing, and he helped me and my unique financial situation to pair with the right mortgage company. He researched all my questions and concerns; I felt confident in my purchasing decision. I also very much appreciate his regular availability and his quick response time to my questions.
