Jay Richardson was our agent for the sale of our lakefront property.
She left no stone unturned. Her creative marketing and professional approach was successful in a very challenging market situation.

Good afternoon:
Our family recently purchased a cottage on Lake of Bays. We had a very positive experience with Jay Richardson and would highly recommend her as an agent.
We spent over a year searching for “the perfect cottage” on Lake of Bays. Her patience and easy going disposition is well matched with her knowledge of the lakes. After a few conversations and cottage viewings, Jay quickly assessed our needs and helped us further define our criteria. This was particularly helpful as she saved us a number of trips up from the city for properties that looked good on MLS but would not have been right for us.
One particular way that Jay impressed us was that she always went the extra mile in everything she did. A perfect example was our closing. We ran into a number of issues and she was always extremely thorough, organized and diligent in terms of all of the details and resolving outstanding points. She handled all of the details which was a huge help to us as we were not able to be up at the lake that week.
Our family would highly recommend Jay to anybody seeking their own perfect place in the area.

Hi Jay,
Thank you, thank you, thank you. We are so looking forward to sharing some bubbly with you in April!
From the beginning of our listing through the sale of our property at 3703 South Portage Road, Rick and I have been absolutely thrilled with your professionalism, hard work, intelligence and the lovely way you communicate (and often). You left no stone unturned but did it in a very classy, non pushy way and managed to pair the right seller and buyer.
Until this point Rick and I would probably not have been comfortable with our listing agent representing the buyer as well. After getting to know you and seeing just how professional you are both of us were more than happy to go ahead with you representing us as well as the buyer. Now that the cottage has actually sold we can honestly say you represented us as well as anyone would have or could have and I have no doubt the buyer’s feel the same.
Going forward we highly recommend you, in fact we will go so far to say you are the best real estate agent we have had the pleasure of working with. We have bought and sold many properties both in Canada and the U.S. and both my brother and Rick’s sister-in-law are agents so we have worked with quite a few agents over the years. Please feel free to give our contact information to anyone who would like a verbal reference.
Sincerely,
Rick and Debbie Knowles
We wanted to purchase a cottage on Lake of Bays and our neighbours in North Toronto suggested we give Jay Richardson a call. We had a cottage many years before on Lake Muskoka, but felt as if we were almost new cottagers because although we loved the ruggedness and beauty of Lake of Bays we did not know anything about the lake or the cottage values.
I am so pleased we were able to work with Jay. She was professional, polished and she knew exactly how to uncover what we really wanted in a waterfront property. She went over and above in answering all our extensive questions in a timely manner. She worked with us over five months and showed us many cottages. She found our dream cottage and called me to say “I have it!” Sure enough when we arrived the following morning to see the cottage it was true – it was absolutely perfect. The transaction was seamless. I highly recommend Jay Richardson. She is a credit to her profession – I would never think of suggesting anyone else to deal with when buying or selling a cottage!! Thank you Jay!

We have had the pleasure of working with Jay as both buyers and sellers. In both situations Jay helped us to close deals that may not have happened with a lesser agent.
As buyers, we found that Jay was consistently well organized and very knowledgeable about the properties we wanted to see. She helped us to see the additional details that increased or reduced the value of each property. We were very impressed with Jay’s ability to follow through and complete commitments to us. Our purchase was a conditional one that spanned several months. Jay stayed in touch with is and helped to find a common ground with eh purchase looked like it might fall apart. We were delighted with the house that Jay helped us to buy.
As sellers, we were even more impressed. Jay made the listing process easy for us and made our house look terrific. We had many showing and a good offer within weeks. During the offer and negotiation process is where Jay has abilities that are well above any other agents we have worked with. She helped us to see our options, let us make the decisions and kept the paperwork to a minimum. She worked hard through several weekends to help close our sale quickly.
Even more impressive is that Jay was representing both buyers and sellers in both of our transactions. Jay helped us to get the best deal without compromising any of our information. We both trust Jay entirely and would certainly work with her again.
