My wife and I purchased our first house this year and we were working with another realtor who we did not see eye to eye with. We were negotiating bids and had a max price on the house we were looking at. Our realtor dropped us in the middle of the negation stating we did not know what we were talking about and we would never get the house for what we were offering. I was then referred to Jay Lesky and Pay It Forward Realty and within and hour he had drawn up new paperwork and began negotiations again. He then closed the sale and needless to say we are now happy in our new home. We were at a moment of loss and panic until Jay stepped up. When we went to our house for the first time, he had decorated our door and left us the kindest letter. Were happy to call Jay Lesky our friend and Pay it Forward Reality is a team you can trust who will drop everything to make sure the job gets done. We are forever grateful. - Christopher James Coghlan

Thanks so much jay - Paul and Quincey Demaeyer
I remember a long time ago looking at my facebook and seeing how many people I knew that were in real estate. I wondered what I’d ever do if I decided to sell my home. How many people I may offend. As time went on and years passed there became a very clear leader. Jay impressed me so much watching his progress over time that when I suddenly decided life needed a big change and I was going to sell my home, I didn’t hesitate to text Jay Lesky. I reassured myself this is a very personal choice and I needed to go with what felt right. There were so many things that stood out for me about him. He always seemed to evolve and change as the market fluctuated. He didn’t sit stagnant. He always kept his business model fresh with constant learning and growing to meet market demand. In his videos he jumps out as super personable and energetic. Jay has an online presence that reaches far and wide. Those are only a couple of the reasons I knew he was going to be my only call. I absolutely cannot say enough good things about my experience. I felt that he worked so hard for me in the sale of my home. I never wavered in feeling like Jay put me first as his client. I didn’t feel that this was just about a sale. He made the exchange personal and truly went out of his way to be sure all was going to go smoothly with the sale, the move, and everything in between. This is not a guy that does this job part time or when he gets around to it. He commits and goes full steam ahead. Since closing he has thanked me numerous times for putting my trust in him and his expertise, and I ABSOLUTELY did without question. I am beyond grateful to him for being so excellent as my realtor and he would be my first and only call if buying or selling in future without question. Truly, he could not have done anything more than he did. My buyer and their realtor put bumps in the road; not only did Jay take them in stride but he helped me so much to stay positive and keep the ball rolling in the right direction. He didn’t care if something was “his job”, he went above and beyond to even help my buyer and realtor (even if it didn’t mean there was anything in it for him). I’m not certain the deal would have gone ahead as it did if not for Jay and his team, who I also have been so thankful for. Pay it forward has it together and I can’t say enough about how pleased I am. - Dana Travis
Jay was very professional, reliable and efficient. We highly recommend him and his team. The house was sold in a week. We highly recommend Ashleigh and Lisa from Payitforwardstaging for all your staging needs. They did a great job. - The Sant’s
Although we later chose not to sell Jay was awesome and we will be looking to him in the future when we decide to list again. Jays knowledge of the market and his network of contractors were a great help in getting our home ready to put on the market - Tammy Arsenault-Irving
Jay Lesky was very tentative and always ready to entertain a phone call for any questions or concerns that we may have had. He made our transactions go as smoothly as possible. - Rob Boughner
Jay was phenomenal to work with! He was always available, answered any and every question I had (I always have lots!!), gave incredible support through one of the most stressful times of my life.

Jay and Mack did an amazing job helping us purchase our new dream home at a desirable price. We listed in a tough market which was very unknown to all as change was driven by interest rates.

My husband and I sold our Brantford home with Jay Lesky from the Pay It Forward Realty Team. From the first meeting, we knew that he was going to be stellar to work with. He was super responsive and went above and beyond the whole way through (and I DO really mean above and beyond - Jay stored our trailer in his driveway for nearly a month!). Even after the sale of our home, when something totally unexpected and in no way his problem came up, Jay said "don't worry, I'm going to fix this for you." Jay was incredible, and I'm 100% confident that no one could have done a better job. From landscaping, to staging, to navigating multiple offers, Jay and his team have you covered and will make the process pain-free. They have my absolute trust and highest praise. A HUGE thanks!!! (and shout out to the admin team, who were so wonderful as well!) - Vicki N.
Reply: I love going back and reading this review it brings us back to the time that we had the honour of working for you guys and meeting one of the smartest couple that could’ve had a street named after them lol I’m glad that we still see and follow each other on social media as I miss you guys both but I’m super proud to call you friends
Jay and his team have brought tremendous value to our family during the sale of our existing home and purchase of our new home. On the sale side, Jay and his team made our decision easy to go with him by helping with the following services: Staging, online marketing, digital advertising, renovation advice, trades people connections, mail campaign to the surrounding neighbourhoods and expert negotiating. He also spent time educating us on how the MLS and different boards work. On the buy side, literally the next morning after we sold our house, Jay and his team were knocking on doors in the neighbourhood we told him wanted to live in next. Navigating the sellers market can be emotional but Jay demonstrated exceptional poise giving us confidence that if we stuck to the process we would eventually get the house we wanted. He is a true professional that is truly out working his competition and works tirelessly, 24/7 to bring value and unprecedented customer service to his clients. He is a fun, positive guy to be around and the type to literally give you the shirt off his back! We would absolutely recommend Jay and the Pay It Forward Realty team! - Sean McGrattan

Jay, Grant, and team were excellent to work with, and great sports about trekking through mud and snow and other adventures to help us on our search for the perfect horse farm. When the sale of our house was down to the wire, they moved mountains and made miracles happen - and made it easy for us to get 'er done from remote locations. Highly recommend! - Ashley Janzen
Reply: This is one of the craziest transactions I’ve ever had to date I’ll never forget we had less than two hours to sell your home going into the final open house before taking off the market because we were getting bumped from the house that you are currently living in, we threw a hell Mary double ended the property during an open house For the amount we needed literally with minutes to spare while you guys were Drinking your sorrows away at the cottage, one of the best phone calls Ive ever made in my life to congratulate you guys telling you we did it!!!!!! What a rush !!!! I love ❤️ my job

Would highly recommend Jay on the PIFR team. They have proved time and time again the power of building strong relationships with clients and partners to drive value and results. We must of looked at close to 100 homes together it was super challenging as a first time home buyer especially at the price point we were looking at. Jay would always pick up the phone and answer my calls and most importantly either show me the property or have one of the team members. In the end we stole the property as we were the first in the door and the home was underlisted so massive win for me. - Jake
Jay did an amazing job at selling my house he said it would sell fast and he was correct less then 2 weeks with multiple showings and multiple offers. He brought in staging and was bang on with the amount we would get on our home and was far more then we were actually expecting... Do yourself a favor and call JAY you won't be disappointed - Leslie M
Excellent choice if you're looking for a professional full time agent. Jay and his company pay it forward realty agents are some of the most ambitious realtors in the city! He worked round the clock gave feedback on all showings the communications was amazing and work ethic was the best I've experienced - Ramon
To say that Jay and the Pay it Forward team went above and beyond the call of duty would be a great understatement. Everyone on the team that we dealt with responded to our calls or messages promptly, provided answers to any questions we had, and always put our minds at ease during the stress and struggles of buying and selling a house. We have raved to all our family and friends about the excellent customer service and care that Jay and the whole team provided. Jay always picked up the phone, whether it was 10am on a Sunday morning, or 10pm on a Friday night. He really believed in our house and didn't stop working until we got the price we wanted for it. Even after our house was sold, he continued to help us out with some of our moving plans as well. Grant was instrumental in us purchasing our dream home, and we cannot be more thankful to him for getting us our country property. Mariah was very helpful in hosting our open houses, and provided great social media coverage of our property during the open house. Matt was extremely helpful to us when showing our house, and even came over to watch our dogs in the backyard when we were at work. We are so grateful to everyone on the team, and would be happy to recommend them to anyone! - Ryan Koster
Courtney was our agent and she was fantastic! She was with us every step of the way during our move from our apartment to our new home. She answered all of our hundred questions and made the process stress free. She ensured our move in went well and was there on our move in day. I would definitely recommend her! - Mackenzie
Jays level of knowledge, professionalism and just amazing marketing, coupled with his awesome personality made the sale of this home a massive success! Thank you Jay for everything! If you’re moving, Jay and his Pay It Forward Realty team are the only ones you should be calling! - Alison Daniels
Jay put in a ton of effort in helping us relocate to Brantford and finding us the right home to move into. Hard working and knowledgeable. Would use recommend and use again. - MacK Cole
Jay Lesky is a amazing agent He went over and above to help us He always answered our questions and help us through our concerns He made sure we were always number one Jay also made us feel like we were a part of his family and I have to thank him for that A true gentleman We will recommend him to everyone we know - Bob Jensen
We loved working with Jay when we sold our house. We were extremely impressed at the amount of time and effort he put in to market the house, including the many open houses held. We listed in November at the worst time, and he still managed to get us 2 different offers and sell the house before Christmas! We will definitely work with him again in the future, and love that our realtors became good friends. - Johan Colenbrander
Jay is amazing! Not only is he knowledgeable, and reliable, he goes above and beyond to ensure your experience is a positive one. I highly recommend Jay and will most definitely use him in the future! - Jeannie
I would have to say everything was great when dealing with Jay and his team. This being my 4th real estate transaction I wanted to challenge some of his ideas (being the typical home owner) I am glad I listened. The home would have still sold, but for a lot less if I did it my way. The only reason I rated the web site lower is because i never used it so I cannot comment. I am sure it is fine. If it was not for Jay I know the high stress of a buy and sell would have killed me. Love these guys or I honestly wouldn't have even wrote this review. - Theodore
Jay and his perfectionist team are superior above all. Jay's friendly personality, determination, marketing expertise and perseverance to get his clients to where they want to be (financially & home) makes him by far the champion realtor you need! - serenity_woods@hotmail.com
Jay is the most honest and hardworking agent That I know. . His sales skills and techniques will get the job done quickly and professionally . His positive attitude and commitment to excellence will give you peace of mind , knowing that your home is in the right hands. Jay truly cares about people. - Kim Coghlan
Jay and his team are fantastic - Kelly Waterhouse
Jay Lesky is the consummate professional who has personality!!! Jay chauffeured us to view properties, handled our purchasing needs when we found the right home, referred us to a great real estate lawyer and continued to follow-up with us long after the closing date. Thanks for all you did for us, Jay, and also thanks for Paying It Forward to the wider community. - Tammy Shipman
