Jay helped me sell 2 of my income properties in the past year. During a very tough sellers market, Jay was able to use his marketing skills to bring in the buyers we needed.

This is our second time working with Jay - the first was buying a home and now the completion of a sale of a property.

Home Sale in Brantford | Aug 2024
We were fortunate to find Jay Lesky as our agent when selling our home. He immediately impressed us with his detailed knowledge of real estate, and how to get the best value for our home. He was extremely prompt with his communication and not once disappointed us through the process. There are many real estate agents out there, but when you work with Jay it's clear he's a step above and has a passion for doing what he does. He always listened to what we felt and shared his thoughts and views in a very professional and respectful manner. Thanks to Jay's confidence in his craft, we were able to sell our house for a significant amount more than we were estimated or assessed by other realtors. My wife and I have zero hesitation when we say Jay will be our realtor moving forward for any more real estate needs. - Ross Fairley

I had the pleasure of working with Jay, and I can confidently say that they are an outstanding professional. From the moment we began our journey, Jay was not only diligent and detail-oriented, but also incredibly personable. He took the time to understand my needs and preferences, and their guidance throughout the entire process made me feel comfortable and informed every step of the way. Whether it was answering my endless questions, arranging showings, or negotiating the best possible deal, Jay consistently went above and beyond. He was always available, responsive, and genuinely cared about finding me the perfect home. I truly appreciated how they took the stress out of what could have been a complicated process, making it smooth and even enjoyable. What sets Jay apart is not just their expertise, but also their warm and approachable demeanor. It's clear they have a passion for helping clients, and that level of dedication made all the difference. I wholeheartedly recommend Jay to anyone looking for a realtor who combines professionalism with a personal touch. - Gabriel

Home Sale in Tillsonburg | Mar 2025
Jay has been absolutely amazing. He guided us with things to do to make our home appeal to buyers. Showed support when I would feel down. Promoted our house on all social media to bring multiple traffic through our home with showings, open houses. Lots of low ball offers plus 2 good offers with conditions that fell through due to financing. It's been a very difficult selling time, however things are starting to move and we are looking forward to getting the news we have an offer. I would strongly recommend Jay!! - Evangeline Denison

Home Purchase in Brantford | May 2022
Do not use Jay Lesky or Pay It Forward Realty unless you want an unethical and incompetent realtor and real estate company. After reviewing an offer on the phone with Jay Lesky that included the finance clause (the most basic clause to for everyone to include) - he changed the name of the realtor to Jake Laracy and removed the financial clause. I believed i could trust him because i have known him for years - so we signed without having a lawyer review and are now being sued. As soon as i printed the paperwork and seen the finance clause was missing i contacted Jay Lesky who refused to correct the error despite not having provided the offer to the seller - this was intentional! The house was renovated by Jay Lesky - he had a personal financial stake. I wouldn't let Jay Lesky or pay it forward realty sell a barbie house at a yard sale with a dozen lawyers reviewing the paperwork. Please see my profile picture for a screenshot of our conversation - 1 - only clause requested - financing 2 - Jay Lesky reviewed the contract on the phone with me alone - note he acknowledges keeping my husband out of the discussions. 3 - Jay Lesky changed the realtor name on the offer to Jake Laracy the kid that showed me the house - i never spoke to him. 4 - Jay Lesky changed the contract to exclude financing. 5 - Jay Lesky rushed me sign the contract on behalf of myself and my husband while on the phone skipping through reading it. I signed electronically over the phone. I trusted him. 6 - when printed the offer i immediately contacted Jay Lesky to correct the error. 7 - Jay Lesky took the offer to the seller without making the correction. He had 1 hour and 35 minutes to make the correction before showing it. 8 - Jay Lesky was also the real estate agent representing the buyer. 8 - Jay Lesky is an unethical and unprofessional real estate agent. Use at own risk - Lori Martin
Home Purchase in Brantford | Nov 2021
Jay Lesky is the consummate professional who has personality!!!

Home Sale in Brantford | Feb 2022
Jason Lesky at Pay It Forward Realty is the real deal! He went the extra mile (or two) to sell not just one, but two properties for me. His dedication and enthusiasm set him apart – always ready to tackle challenges and make the process enjoyable. If you want a realtor who goes above and beyond, Jason is your guy. He doesn't just sell homes; he creates success stories! - Cris Carpenter

Home Sale in Greenbrier, Brantford | Aug 2019
I would like to say that I have known Jay since his early teens and he was always a go getter! He looked after our children in his summer camp and when they came home they were exhausted! Living across the street from him and his family, watching him grow into the wonderful man he is today is why we choose him to sell our home! He is such a professional at what he does! I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell thier home! I believe him to be the hardest and most honest realtor around Your old neighbor Jim and Charlene Kuches - Jim Kuches

Home Purchase in Brantford | Jan 2021
Jay sold our oldest son his current semi-detached and we put Jay in an impossible position during the sale: We needed something fast, with a fast closing since our son was switching jobs and lenders prefer stability. We didn't want to spend a million dollars. We couldn't spend a million dollars. Everything was selling for a million dollars. Oh, and it was just the whitest-hottest market when everything was selling over asking by large amounts. What can I say...Jay came through! - Ken Shipman
