More about Jay Chen

My Approach is Simple. I treat my clients exactly how I'd like to be treated. It really is that simple. I don't like to be pressured, so I never pressure my clients. I like to be treated kindly, so I always bring a positive attitude. I don't let people down with empty promises, so I do exactly what I say. I appreciate it when people answer the phone, so I answer my phone! It sounds dead simple, but I am amazed at how many people simply don't follow these life's simple rules. Because I approach real estate service this way, my clients and I form a great team from the get-go, and we get the results we want while enjoying the journey. I call my approach Mindfulness in Real Estate, and I believe being mindful and passionate about my work is what sets me apart and sets my clients up for success time and time again.

Jay Chen's Reviews & Ratings

Jay Chen

  • Jay showed me homes

      Working with Jay has been the best experience we've ever had as a family with an agent. He is super professional, flexible and takes his time to really get to know his customer and their needs. Jay works hard behind to scenes to answer any questions you may have and get the right information for his customers. With his passion, dedication and strong team behind him, Jay will make sure you feel confident and comfortable with the whole process. We couldn't recommend Jay more!

    • Jay helped me buy a home

        We had been trying to find a house for about ten months before my wife met Jay. Within a few minutes of explaining our requirements, Jay suggested that we look at the house which we ended up buying. This house had recently come on the market and was priced reasonably, and Jay recommended that we move quickly to make an offer. He was correct - at the same time we made our offer, there was a competing offer and Jay's suggestions for our counteroffer made the difference of our counteroffer being accepted. Jay was always pleasant, energetic, and efficient. Jay was always reachable during the business day and business week, and whenever we tried to contact him after hours he returned our call or text as soon as possible. Jay understood the home purchase process intimately and whenever we had a question he wasn't personally familiar with, he researched our question thoroughly and came back with an answer. During our evaluation of the home, we wanted to return several times to check out various issues, and Jay was very accommodating to our needs. Jay was particularly valuable by having relationships with a number of trusted contractors that were willing to offer bids on short notice to aid us in formulating our offer and counteroffer. This was very valuable to us as we were new residents of Whatcom County and had not yet developed our own trusted contractors. One subtle thing that was different about Jay from other real estate people is that Jay didn't seem jaded or blasé about the home buying process. He never gave us the impression that we were just one of many customers or even "just a customer" - Jay invested himself our purchase of this house. Another contrast to some real estate people we've dealt with was that Jay wasn't afraid to tell us bad news that we needed to hear. It was refreshing that when Jay did come to us with bad news, he also came prepared with good suggestions on dealing with the issue. I recommend Jay. He is very energetic, professional real estate agent and is pleasant and responsive to work with. Jay knows the Whatcom County market very well.

      • Jay helped me buy a home

          Jay is very knowledgeable and shows utter professionalism at what he does. From the first time we met him, he has been nothing but remarkable. Super grateful to have worked with him and would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for the best.

        • Jay listed and sold my home

            Jay was wonderful to work with. A friend recommended him and I have no regrets. We got to know each other just a little bit and he has a varied and interesting background, which makes him able to relate to many different people and their situations. He is patient, asks relevant questions and is a good listener. I recommend hiring him as your realtor.

          • Jay has proven himself in other venues and arenas as a person who is attentive to details, knows how to listen and is looking out for others best interests! He has integrity and an old-world sense of responsibility and service ethic! Real-estate may be a new venue for Jay Chen, but working with people to ensure they get what they want in a professional and ethical way is what he is all about! I have no doubt that Jay will provide the utmost level of service and professionalism in his capacity as your real-estate broker!

          • Jay Chen is a hard-working, reliable, and honest agent. He is also a fantastic negotiator and problem-solver, and genuinely cares about his clients. He is easily my #1 pick for real estate transactions in Bellingham and the surrounding area.
