"My husband and I worked with Jay to purchase our first home and we had a wonderful experience. We actually met Jay at an open house for one of his listings when we were just starting to look at real estate. We weren't ready to buy at that point, but we liked Jay so much that we reached out to him when we we were looking for an agent. He's incredibly knowledgable and had great advice, while really listening to what we wanted. He was super patient with all of our questions and first-time buyer nerves, and he helped us buy a place we love. We recommended him to friends a few months later, and they had a great experience buying their first condo as well. I'd highly recommend Jay and we will definitely use him when we're ready to sell or buy again." - Alexandra V.

"I couldn't be happier with Jay's assistance. Both in depth knowledge and the perfect amount of support through our sales process. I was very lucky to have him involved. I will absolutely go back to him for my my next purchase and sale." - Zachary P.

★★★★★
"What impressed me the most about Jay Nix was his skill at structuring my offer. I was a first-time home buyer who hadn't shopped before and was a bit intimidated by the offer process. I have a number of friends who had to learn the art of bidding the hard way after losing places they loved. Jay's also a real gentleman, pleasure to work with."

★★★★★
"As first-time home buyers, Jay's help was invaluable. Jay knows the DC area, and gave us good advice to make sure we got the place we wanted. He listened to what we wanted, and what we didn't, and never pushed us to make a decision. And he is very responsive." - Curtis M.

"Being a first-time home buyer can be a very stressful process. Thankfully Jay was there to not only walk me through the process but also provide sound advice and assistance as needed. His knowledge of the local real estate scene (from trends to history to factors relevant to buying/selling) is unparalleled! He is also someone who is quick to respond and is very patient with all my questions ranging from buying to getting a loan. I would definitely recommend Jay to anyone looking to buy (or sell) a home!"

"Jay Nix was my realtor for my first home purchase back in 2013. From the first day we met when we walked me through everything to search to the final signing of the papers, he made the entire process stress-free. When it came to negotiations, he gave us sound advice based on the local market, and thanks to him, I ended up with a condo that I absolutely loved in a great neighborhood. He also helped spearhead conversations with our lender and made sure that process went smoothly. Two years later some life changes resulted in me moving across the country. Eventually I decided to sell my condo. I had a tenant living there at the time. Jay coordinated everything with my tenant, made all of the necessary repairs to my unit, staged it with some lovely furniture for a reasonable price, and got it on the market as quickly as possible. The unit ended up with multiple offers and selling for over asking price with no stipulations. I'd highly recommend Jay and would absolutely use him again to buy or sell a home." - Kristen B.

★★★★★
"I can't speak highly enough of the job Jay did in helping me purchase my condo. As a first time buyer, Jay was patient in answering my many questions and walking me through the entire process from beginning to end. When looking at homes, Jay helpfully pointed out the pros and cons of each, including many details that I would have missed. He never pushed me one way or the other, but made sure I knew all of the facts of each property and offered advice when I asked. I will be recommending Jay to friends of mine when they are buying or selling a home." - Judd G.

"I worked with Jay Nix.. I was working to both sell my condo and buy a new home. Jay gave fabulous advice on how to maximize the value of the condo I was selling, and was enormously patient with me during my search for the perfect new home. I was very particular about the neighborhood where I wanted to live, but Jay was constantly getting me information about new listings and guided me through the process. I couldn't be happier with my new home or with the service provided by Jay and Compass. Thanks, Jay!"

★★★★★
"I worked with Jay Nix and could not have been more satisfied. Jay provided a great overview of neighborhoods and considerations in each, and was available at a moments notice to get me in to see condos. He had a working knowledge of the buildings in the area I was interested in and helped me compare features. Probably the most significant value was Jay's advice during the offer process; he helped me structure my offer in an optimal way which was ultimately selected over another bidder with a very similar offer. I highly recommend Jay for real estate interests in the DC area."

"Jay was our agent for our coop purchase. Jay was really amazing. He worked with my husband and I for about 6-7 months. We were looking for something pretty specific, and starting to despair when we lost a bidding war on the first place we put an offer on. Jay was never pushy or suggested that we look in areas or price ranges with which we weren't comfortable. When our dream place came on the market (which we now own!) Jay helped us put together a perfect winning offer. But once our offer was accepted was when the real magic started! We were able to close on a coop using a credit union that had never previously lent in the building in only 30 days. If you are at all familiar with either coops or credit unions you will know this is nothing short of a miracle. Jay orchestrated all of the pieces and there were zero hiccups. Everything was smooth sailing and Jay was an absolute joy to work with. I wholeheartedly recommend him (and already have!). You can't go wrong with jay!!"

"We just completed the purchase of a big, difficult home from halfway around the world with Compass, and couldn't be happier! We came across Jay Nix randomly when he answered a call to the Office, and man did we luck out. Jay is a real pro. His knowledge of DC real estate is unbeatable, and his experience helped us stay on top of every step of the process and successfully navigate this complex sale. We can't speak highly enough about him and also Ciara, who made our closing sail as smoothly as imaginable. Despite a 12-hour time difference, they were always there to take a call. Jay and Ciara are tremendously courteous and imminently professional." - John H.

"Jay Nix made our home buying experience a joy! I feel that he had our best interest in mind at all times. He knows DC very well, and was able to explain the pros and cons of each area. I wasn't interested in seeing the house that we eventually purchased, but Jay said, "It doesn't hurt to look at it." He was right! It has been the perfect house for us. It's as if Jay knew what we needed better than we did! He walked us through every step of the home buying process. Having an eagle eye thought the home inspection, to connecting us with the right people to make the closing painless. I will always feel very confident in recommending Jay to friends and family!" - Brett D.

"Jay was a fantastic realtor. Worked with him over a period of 7 months until he helped me find the perfect condo purchase for me. Showed me countless properties and gave honest, helpful, reliable advice through the entire process. Strongly recommend using Jay as a realtor, he was also recommended to me by a friend." - Adam K.

★★★★★
"Jay Nix is a TOTAL pro. He's deeply in tune with the DC market and has perfected the strategies to get the most for his clients. We loved working with Jay and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who lives and breathes DC real estate."

"I worked with Jay Nix in 2014. I was brand new to the DC Real Estate market and Jay was a wonderful and informative resource throughout the entire process. He was extremely responsive, flexible and always willing to help. As a first time home buyer, it was important for the Realtor I chose to have strong knowledge of the area. The listing was extremely competitive and Jay handled the negotiation flawlessly. I've since referred Jay to a few of my friends and they've had the same success!" - Katherine K.

About Jay
Jay is a native Mississippian but has called Washington, DC his home for the last 4 decades. He fell in love with real estate after buying his first condo in Adams Morgan in 1999. Even though the search was over, he kept attending open houses and exploring developing neighborhoods. Eventually he found himself spending his weekends helping friends find places to live. So he decided to transition from a career in public relations and television to real estate.   

After starting as a realtor with another outlet, Jay joined a brand-new Washington, DC brokerage named Compass in 2015. Jay believed this then up and coming brokerage offered new opportunities for him and that the resources offered by Compass would complement his own skills as an agent to help him better serve his clients. 

Over the past few years Jay has been recognized for his hard work and devotion to clients by being named a Washingtonian Magazine "Top Agent," chosen by the Greater Capital Area Association of Realtors for their  "Recognition Award Winner" prize and selected as a "Top Producer" by Compass. 

Not only is Jay sought after by buyers and sellers, he is also an in demand expert having been interviewed dozens of times by television outlets such as the BBC News, ABC News, FOX 5 DC, NBC 4 Washington, and Washington's cable access channel. 
 
One of Jay's passions is photography and he loves taking photos around the city and when traveling to destinations far and wide.  You might also catch him singing at Shaw's Tavern on Wednesday nights.
