Testimonials

It was a pleasure to work with Jay Tenuta on the sale of our home. I would highly recommend Jay for your real estate needs. His knowledge, dedication and communication made our selling experience go very smoothly.

Dear Jay, I wanted to write you and thank you for EVERYTHING you did to help me sell my parents' home. When I realized the time had come to sell the house I was overwhelmed. Living in California and being an only child I didn't know where to start. Your guidance, recomendations, and professionalism went above and beyond what I expected. I so appreciated that you communicated with me every step of the way and were a calming force. My main focus was getting my Mother settled in the nursing home and it was wonderful to have you handling the sale of the house. Thank you Thank you.

Jay has sold 3 of our houses and helped us purchased 2. I can tell you whether you are purchasing or buying- I highly recommend Jay! His professional attention to detail, suggestions, quickness, connections to get things done, honesty and personality has kept us coming back to use him again and again! Jay will not disappoint!

I would like to thank Jay Tenuta for his contribution of selling my Mom's house. After she passed away, it was difficult in getting the house in the best way for a new lease on life for it with a new family. Jay, was a great guide to assist me in this path. He was a leveling agent for me at times, when frustration was weighing down on me. He was there to provide a word of encouragement and or a easier path. Since I live out of state, Jay was a rock of providing me direction on making my path of remodeling my Mom's house where I didn't feel alone. He gave me the feeling of a friend to guide me through every aspect of getting the keys to a new family. I'm not the easiest of people (ask my wife), but Jay was able to roll with the punches and put me at ease knowing I was in good hands.I can't recommend Jay Tenuta with 1st Choice enough. He is more than my Realtor, but I consider him a friend. Thank you Jay

Jay, You were wonderful to work with on selling my home. The market is tough currently, but you diligently worked and we sold. You are pleasant, not pushy, and much fun. Thank YOU! I recommend you to anyone that asks.

5 STARS isn't enough!!!! Highly recommended!!!! Working with Jay was great!! Him and his team's communication with us was beyond superior!! This was our first time selling a home so we didn't know what to expect but Jay and his team are very knowledgeable and know what they are doing, so it made the experience smooth and efficient. Jay and his team are the ONLY reality professionals that I will use!!!

I can’t say enough how wonderful Jay Tenuta is. My father passed away in La Porte, I’m his daughter in Minnesota, it’s hard enough to lose a loved one & worse to be so far away. Jay has a huge compassion for the elderly & made things go so much smoother, I knew I picked the best Realtor. He staged their home, had a awesome cleaning crew come in & also helped with people to buy furniture. He’s very knowledgeable of anything & everything. He really goes above & beyond. I only wish he lived in Minnesota he’s number 1 to me, I so appreciate all his kindness, hard work & compassion. He sold their home on Regency within a week. You can’t go wrong with Jay

I’m really impressed with how this entire process flowed from start to finish. Jay Tenuta has been a great ally each step of the way in selling our beloved rural property. He was always available to communicate with us from listing to being under contract and through closing. Coldwell Banker 1st Choice made it easy to arrange showings, appraisals, etc… Professional and considerate are the words I would use to describe our interactions. Highly recommended! All the best,

I purchased my first home with Jay Tenuta in 2012 and had a stress free and easy buying experience. Jay made the buying process simple to understand and answered any questions I had quickly. Being impressed by the buying experience I had with Jay Tenuta and Coldwell Banker 1st Choice I came back to him in the fall of 2017 to sell my home and he sold it in less than a day! Searching for my second home Jay went with me to all the viewings I wanted and was very honest with the many homes I viewed. Finally, he found the perfect house for me and I couldn’t be happier! Jay knows the industry and I would recommend him and use him again without hesitation. Thank you again!

I want to thank Jay and his team at Coldwell Banker 1st Choice for making the buying of my new home and selling my old home of 42 years a very smooth transition. I was able to view and sign many documents right from my computer saving time and trips to the office. I received phone calls from Jay for every change and/or updates. A Big Thank You!

As a home seller, I was extremely pleased with the service I received from Jay Tenuta and would enthusiastically recommend him to assist others sell their home. Initially, I was a little uncertain about the prospects for selling my house. While I had thoroughly updated it and prepared it for sale, it was a custom built home on a large piece of property and was vacant without any furnish-ings. From the very beginning after meeting Jay I felt confident he knew what he was doing and how to package and sell real es-tate. I found Jay to be totally professional and extremely knowledgeable of the local market and the various regulations surround-ing local real estate sales. From the professional photography, brochure and listing price assistance, to the numerous open houses and showings, I felt Jay did an outstanding job marketing my house. Once we received an offer, I found Jay’s input extremely help-ful finalizing the contract. As someone who lived outside the local area, Jay’s organized approach, great attention to detail and su-perb negotiating skills were invaluable helping me remotely work through the numerous necessary inspections, repairs and ad-ministrative details right up to closing. I wholeheartedly, without reservation, recommend Jay Tenuta to anyone considering selling their home.

We listed three properties with Jay Tenuta at Coldwell Banker 1st Choice in 2017. He is professional, very knowledgeable, friendly, supportive, and thinks outside of the box to get the property Sold... Jay has a unique way, from his choice of words and what to say to relay his thoughts to make you feel good about your property and yourself. He was incredibly understanding and helpful during my husbands illness and passing, forwarding all documents to our son's office for review. Jay always kept us updated... Traffic Reports, Showings, Open Houses... via emails, texts and phone calls. He would check in on occasions to say.."Here's what I am thinking, what are your thoughts about listing price, activity, etc." I am thankful for Jay Tenuta, and God's blessings for bringing Jay our way. Without hesitation I recommend Jay Tenuta for your listings, and if I ever have another listing in La Porte area it will be with Jay Tenuta!!! All 3 properties Sold quickly!

It was actually a fluke that Jay Tenuta turned out to be my agent. I had actually signed up with another agent in his office, but the agent up and left and Jay took over his accounts. What a blessing that turned out to be!! I actually sold 2 properties (one a rental and the other a vacant lot with a garage). Jay reached out to his network of various agents about these two properties. He contin-uously kept me informed as to what was happening with each - if one sat too long with no showings he would discuss with me the possibility of lowering the price to make it more attractive. Once I did that (still keeping it within the range I was wanting) both properties sold immediately. Jay Tenuta really is easy to work with, goes out of his way for his client. I highly recommend Jay and his office.

Recently we closed on a house we listed with Coldwell Banker 1st Choice. Knowing the house was unique and would attract a unique buyer, we appreciated the patience which was extended to us by Jay and his staff. We gained a great deal from the guidance given us in marketing the house and walking us through the process of closing. At no time did we feel any pressure which we experienced in selling other properties we owned. The result was a healthy and satisfying experience, wisdom gained and mutual respect earned. All of this we were grateful for and would recommend Jay and his staff to anyone who might care to consult us.

"Jay did an extremely fantastic job marketing and selling our home! He is outstanding in remaining in contact from the first meeting through post closing and he is punctual. Jay is outstanding in attention to detail and knowledgeable of applicable laws governing all aspects of real estate transactions."

After previously having a very unpleasant experience trying to sell our home, we were looking for a different experience with another agent. We were happy to find Jay Tenuta at Coldwell Banker 1st Choice. He listened to our story concerning our prior selling experience and was extremely protective of us from the initial listing to the closing. Jay gave great attention to details & gave great suggestions concerning the staging of our home to increase our chances of selling it. We wanted an agent who communicated with us at every stage, and Jay definitely did that. We were very impressed with his comprehensive marketing plan for our home. He understood the impact of current social marketing and how many buyers use various apps on their phones to access properties now. We are pleased to give Jay Tenuta a huge thumbs up and a high recommendation. Thanks again Jay for everything!

We bought our first home with Jay 4 years ago. This March, we decided to purchase a new house out of state before selling our current home. I was very nervous about how long my house might sit on the market. As it turns out, there was no reason to stress. Jay had my house under contract for a fair price in under 48 hours after listing! He guided us every step from counter offers to home repairs. Jay's experience and connections made everything go smoothly. Not to mention he is an absolute pleasure to deal with. I would recommend Jay to anyone looking to buy or sell!

Jay Tenuta and Coldwell Banker 1st Choice met and vastly exceeded my expectations for realty services. It had been more than 17 years since I last transacted real estate, but Jay was the consummate professional in explaining every element of realistic pricing, describing current effective marketing strategies, and practical, no-nonsense advice. He was prompt in responding to my (many) questions with patience and explaining all of the different options that would ensure the best result for me, as a client; placing my needs before the needs of his office. His staff were always polite, friendly and professional. The other realtors in the office worked seamlessly together in planning and scheduling open houses, were prompt to report the results and gave constructive feedback on presentation, showing & staging. In short, Coldwell Banker 1st Choice is aptly named. Jay and his awesome staff of real estate professionals should be everyone's "1st Choice". Coldwell Banker 1st Choice is 1st Class!

We knew from the moment we met Jay, that he would be a great realtor! He was enthusiastic about our home and had great suggestions for making it attractive to buyers. He was always available as needed and through his many contacts we found just the right buyers. We are now living in sunny New Mexico and thanks to Jay Tenuta for helping us make our dream come true!

My husband and I needed to sell our house quickly. I felt discouraged with the process of selling our home. We called realtors in the area and Jay contacted us right away. We explained to him our situation and he understood we needed to sell our house fast. From the start, Jay had compassion for our situation. He looked around our home, and he guided us on preparing the home before listing the property. We took his advice; when we finished, our home looked like a model home. Once the house was listed, the advertisement was more than we could have imagined. Our house was sold in less then 3 months, which included the whole process. Along the way, Jay was in constant communication with us and very honest with each and every detail. Not only did Jay prepare our home, but he also prepared us. I feel his heart is in his work; you just don't get that very often in customer service and sales today. We did a lot of praying and Jay was an answered prayer for us. Jay is not just our realtor, but he has become our friend. I can not thank him enough! it is clear to me, as I hope it is clear to you, that Jay is a realtor to get the job done. I whole heartily recommend him.

After frustrating attempts to sell our house on our own, we turned to Jay. His background in design and sales helped us market our house to its fullest potential. He has a mastery of modern marketing techniques that make him the most qualified mover of property we have ever had the pleasure of working with. After listing with Jay, we had a line of prospective buyers almost immediately and were out of the house in a few short weeks. His tireless efforts, attention to detail, ready availability & constant communication have made him far more than just our agent, but also our friend. We couldn’t have gotten through this without you Jay, thanks a million!

Dear Jay, Had to let you know that you are a joy to work with! You are an absolute professional and you and your team worked diligently to sell my property. Knowing that you keep abreast of all real estate happenings and use the latest technology to sell properties is a comfort to a client. You have a great sense of humor that helped me through tense times. You responded to my many calls almost immediately; thus, I never felt uninformed. Since I was selling this property alone, as well as being out of town, that was of utmost importance to me. I would highly recommend you and I heartily thank you.

We began working with Jay over 2 years ago. We did not intend to sell our home, or move, but when our "dream home" went on the market for the second time, Jay pulled everything together. After our offer was accepted, Jay sold our current home in 30 days! No one knows the market better and the communication was outstanding and very timely throughout. Thanks for everything!

Dear Jay, We felt it was important to put in writing how your service as our real estate representative (i.e. buyers broker) was exemplary. In every stage of our house search and purchase you proved to be a consummate professional addressing each and every concern, challenge and request we had. During our initial research we examined many real estate offices to work with in northwest Indiana to complete our home search. We selected Coldwell Banker 1st Choice over other competitors for two reasons, first, Coldwell Banker 1st Choice holds an excellent reputation in their marketplace and second, the positive can do attitude from our first meeting forward and the attention to detail hat made us feel that nothing was more important than our home purchase.

As seasoned home buyers and sellers due to multiple work relocations, we assumed our next sale and purchase would be nothing but typical. That was before we met Jay Tenuta. Little did we know how much Jay would go over and beyond to not only sell our current home, but to find exactly what we were looking for in a new location. Our initial contact with Jay allowed new insight on how to stage our home and how it should be marketed. It definitely worked as our home had a contract in under a week! After, Jay worked diligently to find and help us put an offer on a new home. Our transaction with the new home was not easy as there were multiple out of state sellers and many prerequisites involved, but that never stopped Jay. He dealt with the situation in a professional manner and always kept the lines of communication open with us. Jay was on our side and gave us ongoing support and guidance through countless documents, inspections, and requirements. He knew how much we wanted the home, and did everything in his power to see that we got it. We strongly feel without Jay’s experience and persistence, this complicated transaction would not have come to fruition. There’s not a doubt in our minds that after dealing with close to a dozen realtors over the past 20 years in various parts of the U.S., that Jay Tenuta is by far the most driven, competent, and accessible realtor we have ever dealt with. It was truly a pleasure to be his clients.

Jay, I wanted to let you know how much we love the area. You did a wonderful job for April, the boys and I. We truly do appreciate how patient you were with us (me). I know that I am not easy to work with and I really appreciate your willingness to call April and describe the houses to her over the phone. It made the decision a lot easier. Once again, thank you, if you ever need anything please let me know.

When my husband & I decided it was time to retire and downsize we agreed that we would contact a realtor that wasn't a relative, someone we knew or a friend of a friend. When we met with Jay Tenuta and Linda Knoll of Coldwell Banker 1st Choice, we were impressed from day one and all of our questions and concerns were addressed. Jay was never more than a phone call, text or email away. His professionalism, knowledge and energy was amazing. Jay's experience in the real estate market was invaluable in our unique situation. I could not have ask for better representation from listing to closing. Although my husband & I agreed in the beginning that we did not want a realtor that was a friend, our realtor Jay Tenuta, became our friend. Thanks Jay!!!!

"My husband and I have moved many times in the past 9 years, and I can honestly say that Jay Tenuta was the best realtor we have ever had! With this particular move, I was in another state and my husband was already in the area working. So, communication and attention details, were extremely important for my husband and I. Jay was always willing to pre-screen homes that were a 'probable'. His sense of humor, attention to detail and his ability to hear and listen to what we wanted and needed in a house, was extremely appreciated and highly valued. Thank you Jay for helping us through our transition period and finding us a home. We appreciated all your hard work!"

Jay Tenuta listed our commercial building for sale. He was so professional and knowledgeable in every aspect. I would often call him with different questions and he always gave me reassurance and answers . I knew that Jay was the right one to list our property. His communication, marketing, and professionalism is one of a kind. I would recommend Jay Tenuta to anyone!!!!

My husband and I had been saving for a home for five years and we decided that we were now ready to start looking at houses. We looked all over the internet and there was nothing that the both of us could agree on. We were in no rush and just wanted to start getting ideas of what we both wanted in a home. We finally found one online that we decided we both were interested in. We called the realtor and went to look at the home. We did not like the location and the home wasn’t exactly what we thought. We told the realtor what we were looking for and that we were not working with anyone else. I explained that we would love any help they could offer. We waited about a week and heard nothing back from the realtor and continued working on our own. We found another home we wanted to walk through and that’s when we got in touch with Jay. From the very beginning I knew Jay was going to be the realtor to find our home. He first contacted me and asked me to tell him our story. This made me feel so comfortable and like I was talking to a friend over a realtor. Different from the other realtor we talked to, Jay was very informative on ways we could go about getting what we wanted. Since this was the first home we were purchasing and we are from Chicago there were a lot of things we did not know about Indiana. Jay always made us feel comfortable with any questions we had and made sure that we knew exactly what to expect in the process. Within two days of talking to Jay Tenuta, he had found a home that fit my husband and I perfectly. I knew that he had truly listened to me and really took into consideration what we wanted. We saw the home and both of us fell in LOVE! We put in an offer two days later! We were in the “just looking” phase and were planning on moving in about a year or two. We have family members that looked at houses for over three years before they found one, why would our experience be any different. Never did we imagine this process to be so fast and simple! I credit that completely because of Jay. He was amazing to work with and only cared about what was best for us. In this process I realized we were not working with a realtor, we were working with a friend. Jay Tenuta has become someone who will forever be in our lives and I have every intention of having him work with other family members in the future. I hope to be in our home for quite some time but if and when the time comes to move I know he will definitely be my first phone call. We have been in our house for a few weeks now and we could not be happier! We know that we made the right decision and are excited to start this new chapter in our lives.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Right from the start, Jay was respectful, professional, honest, and focused. Jay got our stamp of approval when he honored our request several months earlier to let us contact him when we were ready to list our home. Once we were ready, Jay promptly went about his job. He gave us a thorough understanding of the real estate process from the sellers' perspective as well as the typical process from the buyers' perspective. We have no doubt his straightforward and caring honesty was a significant factor to the quick sale of our home. At every step of the way, he kept us informed and on task. Communicating with Jay was a breeze and his responsiveness was commendable by any standards. Selling the "dream home" we designed, built, and raised our children in was not always a "happy" proposition and Jay was respectful of the sentimental attachment we had to release. At the same time, he supported our efforts on the other side of the equation as we looked to purchase a new home in Ohio. His willingness to work with our travel schedule in getting our two kids settled in their respective new environments and the two of us living in different states could not have been easy. Thank goodness for electronics! Our process was smooth and efficient, all thanks to Jay.

I contacted Jay Tenuta with Coldwell Banker 1st Choice and asked him to represent me in selling my home. My good friend had highly recommended him. I was very pleased from the first meeting. Even though my home was older and not in same league as many homes that Jay represents, he gave me his full attention and guidance. Because of Jay's marketing and advice, my less than perfect house sold in only two months! I now enjoy a lifestyle free from the stress of constant repairs and upkeep that an older home requires. Thank you Jay !!!!

Jay, We just wanted to take a few minutes to thank you for helping us find and purchase our beautiful home in the country. You made everything SO easy and making it such a fun experience for us, you took out all the worries for us. From day one, you made it your goal to help us find what we were looking for, constantly e-mailing properties that you felt matched what we wanted (and they did!), always going out of your way to make sure we had all the information, providing the friendly service that is often hard to find these days. You were always great to point out the pros and cons for every house we looked at, which made our decision much easier. You were extremely patient, always smiling and willing to help in any way possible. No matter what the obstacle was you found a way around it!! You were never pushy to get the sale and always looked out for our best interest. You provided so much additional advice and infor-mation for our home after the sale, including decorating tips. In the future, when a relative or a friend mentions that they are buying or selling; “Jay Tenuta at Coldwell Banker 1st Choice” will be the very first words out of our mouths! You are the best!

I am a recently divorced woman and was looking to make a home purchase. Jay was very attentive and understanding to my needs and wants in a home. He was very prompt in finding the perfect home for me in my price range. I knew the home I was going to purchase would need some TLC & updates. Jay was very understanding & knew how much I could handle Jay knew from his design background that a few of the properties we looked at would of been far to many repairs and costs for me to handle on my own. That is when I realized he was not there to make more money from a bigger sale ,he wanted me to be comfortable and happy in my new home. Jay has a very unique and calming way with people, and is one of the best Realtors in this area. Thanks Jay!!

After living in La Porte for ten years, we found ourselves having to relocate with my husbands' company. It was a down market and just before the Holidays but that didn't slow Jay down. The Relocation Company gave us two realtors to choose from and I am glad we chose him. Jay Tenuta was sympathetic to our situation and he got things started right away! He and his team at Coldwell Banker 1st Choice were discreet with information since my husband was out of town most of the time. I was also impressed with the way he kept us informed on showings and on feedback. Working with a relocation company requires extra paperwork and concessions from the realtor and Jay took it all in stride. The house took less than six months to sell due to Jay's experience and tenacity. He was great to work with and I would recommend him to anyone! Thank you Jay!

As a busy professional with a large family, squeezing in time to find a vacation home wasn’t easy. Jay took the time to understand what we were looking for and found us the perfect property! He helped my husband and I weigh the pros and cons of the location and determine a fair price. Once the contract was signed, Jay was instrumental in keeping us on track with the lender to ensure a smooth closing. He knew what we should expect from the lender and when. His expertise and attention to detail made our whole experience very positive. Our family and friends love the time we’re spending on Pine Lake! We couldn’t have done it without him. I have highly recommended Jay to many friends seeking to find the perfect vacation home THANKS JAY!!!

We had a very positive experience working with Jay Tenuta when selling my father's Greenacres home in La Porte, Indiana. Jay was extremely patient and understanding working with a senior citizen, making sure my dad understood the individualized marketing plan for the property. The house was sold within a few weeks after Jay took the listing. Jay provided sound guidance through the transaction process, including completing the sales documentation and communicating effectively while my father was out of the country, and he continued to work closely with him through closing. My family would recommend Jay very highly for his patience, integrity, and deep knowledge of the market.

As a first time seller, I especially appreciated that Jay was patient and reassuring with my many nervous questions. Professional, efficient, and incredibly knowledgeable in every aspect of putting our Mother’s home on the market – from first contact to closing and turning over the keys- Jay was fantastic! I would recommend him to anyone in need of a realtor!

Dear Jay, Thank you for helping us find and buy the home of our dreams. The whole process, thanks to you and your office, was very quick and without much of the stress normally associated with buying a house. Your quick responsiveness, your assistance in all the details, and the follow up that you did was very much appreciated by my wife and I. Thanks to you, our transition back to the north to be closer to all of our family is finally done and with a home we can enjoy with everyone for the rest of our lives. If we ever have anyone that is looking for a home in your coverage area, you would be our first and only recommended realtor. Feel free to use us as a reference for anyone that may be looking for a truly knowledgeable and caring professional to assist in finding a home of their dreams. Thank you again.

As newcomers to the La Porte area, we solicited multiple recommendations from people in the community for who the best realtor was. The same name kept coming up: Jay Tenuta! We were so impressed from the start with his professionalism, warm personality, and tireless work ethic. I don’t think a single text message, email, or phone call ever went unanswered for more than 5 minutes! In the end he found us our dream home. Thank you Jay!

Jay’s extensive knowledge of the real estate market was invaluable in our search for a new home and he quickly found us the one we purchased. Every aspect of the buying process was done in a professional manner. Jay is a tough but fair negotiator. As a result, when it came time to list our home, we had no doubts that Jay was just the man to get the job done. His vast experience enabled us to sell our house quickly. Our experience with Jay was well beyond expectations and we could not be more satisfied. We recommended Jay to friends of ours who were relocating and had not been successful in getting showings on their home. Within a short time of getting Jay on board, the home sold. Whether you are buying or selling a home, Jay Tenuta will work tirelessly on your behalf to get the best possible results.

We became acquainted with Jay after finding our lake home on line. The moment we met him, there was an immediate sense of ease, as we were first time home buyers. From day one, he took the time to explain the process, at times more than once. Our confidence in the Realtor/Buyer relationship has only grown! He is incredibly professional, and pleasantly aggressive when necessary. It really was a smooth and quick process because of his vast experience. THANK YOU JAY!!!!!!!!!

During an incredible real estate recession and slump, Jay Tenuta sold our house in 6 months! Jay went the extra mile to do what it took to get our house sold. The sale got complicated and Jay was always there and always accessible to us. As an added bonus; Jay is a great, fun guy. We loved working with him, and yes he got the job done!

"First and always, it begins with excellent customer service. We were extremely satisfied with the service we received from Jay. Jay goes above and beyond what the average agent does and is, by far, the best of many realtors that we have worked with. As a di-rect result of Jay's superior marketing knowledge and hard work, our house sold very quickly and not much less than our asking price. Jay is phenomenal!"

"Think about it. You will probably only need a Realtor a few times in your life. Buying a house, having a baby; these are events that only happen to most of us a handful of times in our life time. Psychologists and science have hundreds of studies on stress levels. Buying a home is always near the top. Considering these facts, don't you feel that having the right Realtor can be a major decision? We did; that is why we chose Jay Tenuta. Jay was amazing; he has an incredible eye for detail and is extremely professional. He made our real estate purchase simple and painless. It was a relief to know Jay had our best interest during every step of the process. By the time we closed on our home, Jay not only was our Realtor - but our friend too."

"I am writing to talk about my experience with Jay Tenuta, my realtor! Jay was hands down absolutely wonderful! This was my first time ever buying a home and Jay made this process not only smooth but exciting and fun! While I was working with Jay I felt he treated me the same as if I were buying a million dollar house! He really showed that he cares for his clients best interest! If I had any questions or concerns Jay was there for me with a very quick answer! He made me feel very comfortable and calm about purchasing my home! Anytime I ever hear of anyone wanting to buy a home, I am for sure going to refer them to Jay! Thanks so much Jay for all your wonderful hard work & I truly enjoyed working with you!"

Jay Tenuta's attention to the timely details of our real estate transactions gave us the confidence in his ability to allow him to aggressively market our home. Jay's effort of gaining potential buyer's feedback on our home enabled us to make the necessary adjustments that helped us sell our home in 7 days, and then we packed.

"I accepted a job transfer with my company which involved moving my wife and two little girls three states away. Not knowing the area made it that much more difficult to find a place we would be happy with and safe for my family. We contacted Jay via phone as he was the listing realtor of a property that we were interested in. We told Jay what we were looking for. Before we knew it he emailed us several listings to review as well as sending us a package in the mail on information of the town and school systems. At that time we felt we were in good hands. After finding the home we liked, Jay fought for us to make sure we were getting the best deal and to insure it was move in ready after our move. Communication was Jay's #1 asset during this transaction."

Hello Coldwell Banker 1st Choice!We just wanted to drop a note regarding the sale of our home. The decision to sell a home is almost as difficult as finding the right agent/broker to represent your interests. We interviewed many agents before choosing Coldwell Banker 1st Choice. We just can’t say enough when it comes to Coldwell Banker 1st Choice, but here are a few reasons WE chose to enlist Coldwell Banker 1st Choice's services. The team behind the scenes are folks who really care about people and understand what’s at stake. Dealing with Jay Tenuta was reassuring and professional. Our broker was not only our agent, but also an owner of the company! Full time broker/agent means you get answers to your questions or concerns when you want them, not just when convenient. Web presence is not just local, but regional. Listing Activity report updates sent weekly via email, with personal access online. We have watched the market and observed homes sit and remain on the market for many months in our area, and that’s very scary (if you are timing your sale to a purchase). Our home was under contract within weeks not months! The representation from Coldwell Banker 1st Choice made sure the closing was smooth and relaxing. Kudos to Jay and his team on a job well done!! Thanks again!

I am a retired widow that needed to sell my house and move to a new home that I could take care of. I chose Jay after my friends used him in the sale of their home and had nothing but praise about him. I felt safe and secure every step of the sale. Anything I didn't understand or needed to know was explained and my decisions were made with confidence. He made a stressful situation enjoyable, I sold my house and moved all within a very short period of time. Thank you Jay and your friendly and helpful staff.
