Jay Whitaker - Skogman Realty

I cannot express enough how amazing Jay is to work with! Random question throughout the day? Answered! Schedule? Flexible! Open minded? Yes! As a first time homeowner, Jay was attentive, understanding, supportive and most importantly, he listened and I felt heard. Couldn’t have asked for a better guy on this journey. Not only do I have a wonderful realtor, but a life long friend who I’m certain will always be there to support and counsel if needed. Even after closing, he’s still available to answer questions or provide support. You cannot ask for a better person on your home buying journey. Whether you’re a first time homebuyer or seasoned, Jay is your guy!

You will not find a more attentive, caring realtor than Jay. He made us feel like we were his only client throughout the process. He was so helpful in pointing out things as we looked at houses and condos, while being respectful of our decisions. Jay is very knowledgeable about market trends, and makes sure the process goes smoothly. He went the extra mile to find specific answers to our questions, clearly communicated with us in a prompt manner, and showed the utmost professionalism. We closed on our house yesterday, I felt very confident with Jay in our corner. I can honestly say I now think of him as our friend. I highly recommend Jay Whitaker for all your real estate needs. He will not disappoint you!

Words can't even describe how wonderful Jay is. My husband and I just recently moved from Long Island, NY to the Cedar Rapids area. We had been looking for a house in NY for almost 2 years and found nothing. Once we decided we wanted to move to a different state, I was tasked with finding someone to be our realtor. I had found Jay and I'm so glad and blessed I did! As first time home buyers, we had not a clue where to start. Jay would always make sure to pick up the phone at any time of day when we called him to make sure he answered our questions and believe me, we had a lot of questions. He listened to our wants and needs in a home and with his commitment to helping us, we are now living in our dream house. Jay is not only a wonderful realtor, he is a genuine and kind person who goes above and beyond for his clients. I 1000000% would recommend Jay to anybody looking to buy a home in Iowa!

Jay helped us find our dream home as first-time buyers. He guided us every step of the way, from our initial meeting, to even after closing. He answered any questions we had, and even scheduled all of the showings, inspections, and closing for when it was convenient for us. We both work full-time jobs, and Jay made himself available at any time we needed him, even at 9:00 at night. Jay is a very genuine person who clearly loves working with people and gets just as excited about the home buying process as his clients. I could not recommend him enough!

If you are looking for a realtor, we strongly recommend Jay Whitaker. Jay was with us every step of the way. He was very responsive; answering phone calls, text, and emails at any time. He took the lead on setting up inspections as well as coordinating local contractors to assess a structural question we had regarding the house. He did all of this behind the scenes, allowing us to focus on our busy work schedules. Jay put us at ease with any questions we had, taking time to research answers when needed. You can be comfortable putting your trust in Jay!
