Testimonials

Working with Jay was such a blessing during this big season of my life. Buying a home can be overwhelming, but he made the entire process feel calm, organized, and exciting. He was always available to answer my questions and made sure I felt confident every step of the way. Jay truly cared and worked hard behind the scenes to keep everything moving smoothly. I’m so grateful to have had him in my corner and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

Jay is AMAZING! Working with him was seamless. He is patient, attentive and flexible. I am by no means easy to please, but he got to know me taking the time to understand my needs, preferences and style to help navigate my home search and decision. When I asked to see something for a second or third time, he did not balk acknowledged the importance of buying the “right” home. He answered my questions ad nauseum – no matter the number of times I asked the same question. His knowledge of the current market (yikes!) and the local market further helped to guide my search. He guided me through the entire process – from search to purchase – answering questions, following-up (on everything) and offering expert advice. He offers the perfect balance of support, reassurance, reality and guidance. His support didn’t end at closing – he helped ensure a smooth move-in and transition. Home buying with Jay was a great experience. I recommend him to family and friends wholeheartedly.

Jay was the first person we ever met in Florida when we came down to look at houses. He was prepared and made the home buying process simple for us. Fast forward two years: it was a no brainer for us to use him again when we sold our house and left Florida. Jay was communicative through everything, even while dealing with a hard to reach lender. He kept us informed and made our process clear and efficient for us.

When we decided to move from Texas to Florida, we were completely unfamiliar with the area — where to look, what to expect, or even how different the market would be. From day one, Jay was patient, knowledgeable, and fully invested in helping us not just find a house, but find our place. We looked at countless homes online and in person and took everything I said into consideration for every house. He never once made reference to compromising on what I wanted but only said "If it's not what you want, we can keep looking". We ended up writing four offers and ended up in three multiple-offer situations that were completely different. Through every everything, Jay kept me grounded and added humor to a stressful move. He explained the nuances of Florida neighborhoods, guided us through the competitive market, and helped us make smart, strategic decisions without ever feeling pressured. What stood out most was how genuinely Jay cared. He wasn’t just checking boxes — he was paying attention to what mattered to us and making sure every step moved us closer to the right fit. He always responded like we were his only client, and I know we weren't. When we finally found our home, it felt like a true team victory.

From day one, Jay was patient, knowledgeable, and fully invested in helping us not just find a house, but find our place. We looked at countless homes online and in person, wrote four offers, and ended up in three multiple-offer situations, in a market where it's not common.

Working with Jay was such a blessing! From the very first conversation while we were still in Ohio, we felt cared for and supported. He really listened to what we were looking for and made the whole process of moving across the country so much less stressful than we imagined it would be. What stood out the most was how patient and kind he was. No question ever felt too small, and he always made time for us. We could tell he genuinely wanted the best for our family, not just a quick sale. Because of Jay, we found a home that truly feels right for us. We are beyond grateful and would recommend him to anyone who wants not just a realtor, but someone who will walk alongside them like a trusted friend.

The sale of a home is always a stressful event but Jay helped us navigate the process with relative ease, minimal issues and a smile on his face. We highly recommend Jay and Florida Executive Realty.

Jay was so easy to work with. Before we decided to list he broke down all the financial numbers for us and was very quick to get our house on the market as we had already purchased a new home. He was always forthcoming with all information and literally made the house selling process stress free. The market is moving a bit slow right now and we felt we were in great hands with Jay. We will definitely recommend him to anyone we know that is buying or selling a home.

Finding a new home is a big journey, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Jay. From the very first conversation, he took the time to truly get to know us—not just as clients, but as a family. He listened carefully to our needs, understood our priorities, and made sure every step of the process was tailored to what worked best for us. What really set Jay apart was his unwavering support in ways we didn’t even realize we needed. He anticipated challenges before they arose, helped reduce extra work on our end, and made the entire experience feel seamless. His proactive outreach and prompt follow-through ensured we were always informed, never left wondering what came next. Beyond his professionalism, Jay’s personable nature made the process enjoyable. He brought a level of care and dedication that went far beyond just finding us a house—he helped us find a home.

Jay went above and beyond, providing valuable insights and guidance at every step, and their responsiveness and professionalism were truly impressive. If you're looking for a top-notch real estate agent who genuinely cares about their clients, look no further.

Jay was very attentive and easy to work with. He was always available to speak when I had questions. More importantly, he kept me abreast with all changes throughout the process.

I had the pleasure of working with Jay during my recent home purchase, and I can't recommend him highly enough. From the outset, Jay demonstrated an exceptional level of patience and dedication. Initially, I was set on buying a resale townhouse, but my preferences shifted towards a new construction single-family home. Throughout this journey, Jay was not only understanding but also incredibly supportive, guiding me through each phase of the decision-making process. Jay's availability and accessibility were truly remarkable. He was always ready to answer my questions and made himself present at every major milestone of my new construction purchase, which greatly alleviated my stress and made the process much smoother. Communication with Jay was effortless. He has a knack for making complex processes understandable and always responded promptly and clearly. Additionally, Jay's recommendations for outside services were invaluable. Every vendor he suggested worked out excellently—they were thorough, qualified, and maintained a high level of professionalism. Overall, Jay's expertise and supportive approach made my home buying experience a positive one. I felt well-informed and confident in my decisions thanks to his guidance.

It was great working with Jay during the recent sale of our home. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about all the ins and outs of the real estate business, but his friendly and personable demeanor made us feel very comfortable throughout the whole process. He frequently kept us updated about any pertinent news or information regarding our house and was always quick to respond anytime of day whenever we had questions for him. If you are planning to buy or sell a home in Florida, I would highly recommend having Jay D'Abramo of Florida Executive Realty represent you.

Jay is the most amazing realtor. Dedicated, resourceful, personable and professional. He stepped in to help me find my new home when I needed help the most, taking the time to make sure I was happy and comfortable with my decision each step of the way. I am so happy my brother and sister-in-law recommended him. He is truly the best!!!

We had the best experience with Jay buying our forever home. He made himself available for information, showings or just questions and never made us feel like we were bothering him. He is very knowledgeable and would always gather all the information we needed. I would recommend him to anyone of my friends or loved ones.

Met Jay through a scheduling conflict and I don’t believe it could have worked out better. Jay’s knowledge of the builders in the market and the character of different neighborhoods was invaluable in our decision to buy. Jay is a great resource and asset to people like my wife and I that are relocating to an unfamiliar area.

Jay was instrumental in helping us relocate to the Tampa area. Before we even came down to look, he was very communicative, organized, and listened to our needs and wants. Once we came down to look, he had a set plan that was executed to perfection, and we were able to find our home in a great neighborhood. Even after we moved in, Jay helped us get settled and made sure all our questions were answered from start to finish. Jay is the man!

We are so glad we met and worked with Jay as our realtor, He’s very professional, knowledgeable and always responsive. All we can say are definitely good things, a great professional, likes what He does, He's aware always of the client’s concerns, no matter how insignificant it was, but above all and very important He's a Great human being, we are glad we chose to work with Him and hopefully we can continue to do so. Jay Thanks for everything.

Working with Jay was literally a dream come true! I contacted him on a random weekday, frustrated with renting and ready to own, but with no clear plan how to do it. By the weekend, he had already taken me on my first house tour! His guidance after that first weekend was invaluable in helping me zero in on exactly what I wanted from a home, which saved me so much time and heartache by not chasing homes that weren't right for me. The next tour happened about a week later, and I'll never forget Jay's face when I walked into the yard...it was the perfect home for me, and Jay knew me well enough to know that! He got everything rolling immediately, working closely with my lender to get an offer submitted just a few hours later, and then we were on our way! Even though we went under contract during the busiest season at my job, Jay was so good at his that I never had to stress or take time off to handle things. His relationships with the other professionals involved were so strong that I rarely had to do much other than sign a few papers here and there. Jay kept me well-informed with every step of the process, and when minor hiccups occurred, his calm demeanor and wise advice kept me sane. This was the first time I had ever even considered buying a house, but I think I may be spoiled now because Jay made the process so incredibly quick and easy! We went from the initial tour to closing day in just over a month, with virtually no headaches in between (at least on my end). I just cannot thank him enough for being the perfect person to help me find the perfect house!

Where do I begin… first of all let me just say that my realtor Jay is phenomenal. He is sociable, goes the extra mile, patient, knowledgeable and most of all empathetic. He is the kind of realtor that u can text at 8 pm and still get a response and call after 5 pm and I guarantee he will take your calls. He listens and he addressed all my concerns, and believe me … I had a whole lot!!!!!!! At one point there was a mishap and I thought I lost the house I really wanted. I dont know what he did, made a few phone calls or whatever, a few days later he called and told me; I got My house back. I was ecstatic ! This is my second home buying experience and Jay made it seamless. From the bottom of my heart Thank U !!!!!!!

I know a lot of people will say they have the best realtor, and in some cases they may be right, but many will often start to question things after they have bought or sold a home. See we meet Jay and just wanted to get a market analysis before we decided to sell our home. Now buying this home has been a crazy experience and so many hiccups along the way but not once was Jay unreachable. This man has answered his phone and sent emails all hours of the night for us. He has fought for us every step of the way. He was the middle man when I was to overwhelmed to communicate. Not once did he flinch when we had issues arise. To me you can’t have a better friend to fight along side you. So when I say we had the best realtor their is no doubt in my mind that no one could have done it better. Thank you for everything Jay and I’m extremely honored to call you a friend.

BEST is the standard with Jay! As first-time homebuyers, there was a lot we didn't know, and all of our questions were answered with fast, honest and comprehensive answers from start to finish. His communication with us throughout the process helped ease our nerves, and it truly felt like we had a friend on our side helping us make the right purchase. We are thankful for everything he provided, and highly recommend Jay to anyone in the market!

Great agent! Really does the dirty work that a lot of agents won’t do and does not give you BS fluff. Straight to the point and really knows the market

Jay was spectacular!!!!! He was super reliable and readily available no matter the circumstance. It was awesome working with him.

We connected with Jay through a referral after moving from Indianapolis to Tampa for a work opportunity. From the beginning, Jay's communication with us was professional and top notch. We were not familiar with Tampa and he provided us with great, honest feedback on every neighborhood and house we opted to look at. We consider ourselves very lucky to have found Jay and highly recommend him in assisting with your home purchase!

Jay is the absolute best realtor— super personable, and genuinely wants his clients to find their perfect home. He helped us successfully purchase our first house in this crazy market and always had the best recommendations— from contractors, home inspectors, loan officers, etc. As someone who isn’t as knowledgeable in the real estate department, his expertise was essential. He truly felt like a friend throughout the process and we will definitely be recommending him to our friends and family.

We would highly recommend Jay if you are looking to buy or sell a house. He went above and beyond in all aspects of our process to sell our home. From putting together a booklet with information on our house and comps from our neighborhood to answering questions we had he was readily available all the time. Jay was knowledgeable about the current market and was able to provide real-time advice and feedback that was helpful in our decision to list our house. After moving, with our house still pending to be sold, Jay really went above and beyond by putting our storm shutters on the house, before a pending hurricane, and also mowed our lawn before the new owners arrived. He is trustworthy and will be truthful with you throughout the process and we would recommend Jay to anyone looking to buy or sell a house! Throughout the process Jay wasn’t only our realtor but he became a friend and we were thankful for his advice and level of professionalism and attention to detail!

When I first began the process of buying a house, I was extremely nervous and scared. I didn't have a good experience when I tried in the past so it left me feeling uneasy. When I became in contact with Jay, it was an entirely different experience. Jay was such a great realtor. He was more than a realtor. He went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and explained every thing in a way I could understand. Any questions I had, he always had the answers. If he didn't have the answer, he would make sure to find it. Any time I was concerned or confused, he assisted me with figuring out what I needed to help me feel better about the process. I can say he was there every step of the way. I can't wait to buy another house and use Jay services again. he never abandons his clients. Amazing Job! He will be the person I contact for all my real estate needs.

Best realtor I've worked with by far. Made sure all my questions and needs were answered.

I've known Jay for about 5 years now and had previously worked with him. When it was time to look for a house, calling Jay was a no brainer. I had seen first hand the type of person Jay is, when he does something he is all in and will not take any short cuts to get the job done right. Purchasing our first home was a little scary but Jay was always available to answer any questions we had and if he could not answer them immediately he would get to work finding the answer and get back to us very quickly. The passion and commitment to finding his clients their dream home is what sets him apart.

Great guy! Knew what he was talking about when it came to the job and gave us realistic values when selling the house. He was patient and aggressive when we needed him the most! He was not the realtor that we wanted, He was the realtor that we needed

Jay D’Abramo was the best realtor we have ever worked with! His professionalism, knowledge, honesty, integrity and hard work ethics are very much appreciated. He went above and beyond to help us sell our home, especially when it came to showings and open house days. If you are looking for a top notch realtor, I highly recommend him!

I contacted Jay for a market analysis. Not only did he provide a great baseline he brought over all comps in the area and included all the upgrades we did. We decided to sign and list and he did not let us down. He ran the open houses and kept me up to date. In 3 days and multiple offers the house was under contract. He did all his homework and made sure the offer we accepted was the best option for us. Jay isn’t just my realtor but he is now a good friend. Thanks Jay.

There are so many incredible things I can say about Jay! I met Jay while still living in Mississippi and he never left our side! It was a long journey but Jay was patient, persistent and extremely professional! He was extremely knowledgeable and never pushed or pressured us during the process. We are blessed to call him our friend/family!! The only negative thing about Jay is we don't get to see him anymore!

Jay far exceeded any expectations we had of a real estate agent. We worked with him from out of state and he could not have made the process easier. I would HIGHLY recommend Jay to ANYONE looking to buy or sell a home. Jay is what any real estate professional should strive to be.

My wife of more than 50 years, Linda and I decided to move back to Tampa after living in Michigan for many years. I felt I could find an apartment or home to rent with little difficulty. How wrong I was despite the fact we knew the area well. After a two-month search, I was not any closer to achieving our goal. With only a month until we had to move, I decided to look elsewhere for help. I needed a pro. We had numerous possibilities only to find out the ones we liked, someone else had beaten us to the punch. I reviewed thousands of properties, and frustration grew each day. I ran across Florida Executive Realty and spoke with Jay. I advised him of the mission and general geographic areas we were targeting. Jay grabbed on to the task and within days we had narrowed the list to a few possibilities. Jay's follow-up was incredible, and his detail orientation is phenomenal. I am not a computer wizard, so Jay did it all – from the negotiation to the lease agreement, to orchestration of the folks unloading the truck. He even actually contracted the labor to unload the truck as well as the storage facility. I've been in the business world since the mid-sixties, and I was knocked out by his diligence, detail orientation, and take-charge attitude. In addition, Jay is a nice guy with a positive, can-do attitude. We wound up signing a lease for a property in Brandon and love it here. Linda and I were very fortunate to get Jay involved. If I were you, I would connect with Jay immediately, and hope he's available.

I have had the distinct pleasure of knowing Jay D’Abramo for several years both as a close personal friend and a professional colleague, and during that entire time, I have seen a level of professionalism, work ethic, and loyalty in both that has been unmatched. In addition, his marketing and communication skills, along with his management skills and attention to detail, will make him a tremendous success in the real estate business. With that said, Jay’s caring personality and genuine ability to relate to people make him a perfect choice to help his customers find the perfect home.

I have known Jay for several years and can't think of someone I would trust more with my real estate decision. Jay shows an amazing attention to detail, a willingness to work tirelessly and his professionalism is second to none. One of the very first things that struck me about Jay was how much he cares. He knows that these are big decisions for individuals and families and makes sure his clients are satisfied. He listens and will show an unparalleled commitment to your current and future needs.

Jay is the local friend you’ll want to have when buying or selling your home! He is methodical, detail oriented, and a workhorse. He knows the value of a dollar and will listen to your priorities and situation to get you where you want to be. I love working with Jay!

I have known Jay for nearly 15 years. His personality, attention to detail, and work ethic have him well suited to protect his clients in any real estate market. Jay is always the hardest worker in the room, going above and beyond to find solutions to problems and get optimal results. You will be in great hands with Jay.

I have known Jay D'Abramo for several years and worked closely with him in a professional capacity for the majority of that time. Jay is one of the most dedicated, hardworking, business savvy and personable people I've had the pleasure of working with in any capacity. He is also compassionate, kind and quick to assist others, whether it be a coworker, a business associate or someone in need during community service projects. With that in mind, I'm very excited to see Jay following his true passion of helping others accomplish their goals and find total satisfaction in the highly important realm of real estate. Jay's clients will immediately see his enthusiastic drive to find them the perfect home, sell their current home or meet whatever need they have in the real estate market. His education and communications background will be a huge asset in addition to his ability to quickly develop genuine working relationships and create effective marketing initiatives. When the time comes for my family to sell our current home and move to a new location, I will be calling Jay, no doubt about it.
