ABOUT JAY

FRIEDMAN

I am a California native, born in Southern California, but raised in Roseville, CA where I graduated from Oakmont High School. In 1995, I moved to Reno, NV to attend the University of Nevada and prior to graduation, in 1998, my wife and I got married. I graduated in 1999 having earned a BSBA with a focus on Logistics Management. After graduation, my wife and I moved to Southern California for work where I was the Sales Manager for a national media company named Source Interlink (“Primedia” back then). At Primedia, I was the Sales Manager for "Import Tuner" magazine, and a salesman for many different national automotive enthusiast publications.  In 2003, my wife and I decided it was time to improve our quality of life. We moved back to Roseville to be near our families, and to start our own family. My biggest passions, next to my family and friends, are working with my great clients, traveling, playing with cars, and just plain enjoying this great gift called Life!

If you’re a homeowner, chances are you’ve built up a lot of wealth in the equity of your home – just by living in your house and watching its value grow over time. And that equity is something that could help change your child’s life.Many first time buyers have a stable job and a solid plan, but affordability is still a challenge and buying can still feel out of reach. But that’s where your equity could make all the difference for your family. To give you an idea, the average homeowner with a mortgage has $311,000 worth of equity, according to Cotality (formerly CoreLogic ). That’s significant. And some parents are using a portion of their equity to help their children become homeowners, too. According to Bank of America , 49% of buyers between 18 and 26 got money from their parents to use toward their down payment ( see chart below ):

From rising home prices to mortgage rate swings, the housing market has left a lot of people wondering what’s next – and whether now is really the right time to move. There is one place you can turn to for answers you want the most. And that’s the experts. Leading housing experts are starting to release their projections for the rest of the year. These insights will give you clarity – and a little more optimism than you might expect. Business Insider sums up the forecasts (and why they’re good news for you): “As mortgage rates go down this year, affordability may improve slightly for homebuyers. Inventory is also expected to grow, which should help moderate price growth and make finding a home easier.” Let’s break it down. 1. Mortgage Rates Should Come Down (Slightly) While a major drop isn’t on the table, forecasters are calling for a modest decline in rates in the months ahead as the economic outlook becomes more certain. Based on the information we have right now, here’s a look at where they say rates should be by year-end (see graph below) :

Whether you’re planning to move soon or not, it’s smart to be strategic about which home projects you take on. Your time, energy, and money matter – and not all upgrades offer the payoff you might expect. As U.S. News Real Estate explains: ". . . not every home renovation project will increase the resale value of a home. Before you invest in a swimming pool or new addition, you should consider whether the project will pay itself off by getting prospective buyers in the door when it’s time to sell. " That’s why, before you pick up a power tool or call a contractor, your first step should be talking to a local agent. Planning Ahead Pays Off If you plan to move relatively soon, you’ll want to get a jump start on your to-do list. And even if moving isn’t on your radar yet, life can change quickly – and a new job, a growing family, or shifting priorities can fast-track your plans. You don’t want to be scrambling to fix up your home if your timeline changes. Smart updates now = fewer headaches later. By planning ahead, you can spread out the work over time, which is easier on your wallet and your stress levels. Plus, you’ll get to enjoy the upgrades while you’re still living there and have the peace of mind your house is ready to impress when it's time to list. What Buyers Want (and What’s Actually Worth Doing) If you’re not sure which projects are worth your time and money – here's some information that can help. A study from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) shows which upgrades typically offer the best return on your investment (ROI) ( see graph below ):

TESTIMONIALS

I haven't sold or bought a home in over 35 years, I had no idea who to talk to about selling my home. Jay was recommended to me by Shelby Elias. Right away I saw that Jay was our man and he never did disappoint.  In fact he went far above and beyond what I was expecting and my expectations were high. I would recommend Jay and his team to anyone needing a realtor. Thank you Jay, you made a stressful time seem effortless.

Jay did an outstanding job with helping us buy and sell our home. In a tough sellers market, he was able to make our offer competitive and ultimately allow our family to be close together. He also went out of his way to coordinate a full remodel of our prior home, which was even located outside his service area! This was the main reason we were able to sell our home for 130k over asking price. Jay definitely goes above and beyond for his clients. One his best qualities is that he is extremely responsive and always picks up the phone or texts back.  We would absolutely recommend him for all your real estate needs!
