BJ Ray was recommended by a real estate attorney we used (Jeremy McHugh, who I would also give five stars to). It was hard for me to be convinced to work with a buyer's realtor, but I am glad we did. BJ helped us with the recent purchase of our home during one of the tightest buyers' markets in recent history, with surprisingly little effort. We found the home online but completed the purchase due to an unconventional tactic for approaching the sellers that BJ suggested and used to [...]

BJ's as good as they come! Let's start at the end - we're now in a house and neighborhood that we love. That's the ultimate outcome, right? But leaving it at that would be selling BJ short. We worked off and on with BJ for a few years. We'd get serious for awhile, not find anything that we really liked, back off, then start up again. I can imagine this is less than ideal from a realtor's point of view. But BJ was awesome. Always willing to engage [...]

I am now retired and enjoying life in Maine thanks to BJ Ray. He sold our house in JP in two days with multiple offers. Whenever I got nervous about the process he was always there to reasure me. I can't imagine going thru that process without him.  

We recently worked with BJ to purchase what turned out to be our dream home in Jamaica Plain, and we could not have had a better experience. When we first met BJ, we told him upfront that after a few failed offer attempts in this crazy real estate market, we were becoming the super anxious homebuyer types. BJ was incredibly patient with us, calming steering us through every step of the process. He is the consummate professional - knowledgeable, responsive, insightful- while also being very [...]

BJ Ray is not your average realtor by any stretch. He is a great listener, puts his clients needs first and foremost without any type of sales pressure. He has designed some sophisticated models to determine accurate price points in a constantly changing environment which has allowed him to receive accepted offers for his buyer clients more often than not. In this competitive seller-driven landscape that is a remarkable achievement. My wife and I used BJ to [...]

My fiancé and I purchased our first home a few months ago with BJ's help. He was incredibly helpful and informative every step of the way, and always noticed things (both positive and negative) that never would have occurred to us. On top of that, he's an overall great guy - we never once felt like we were being rushed or pushed into putting an offer in on something that wasn't absolutely perfect for us. We're incredibly happy with our house and cannot recommend BJ [...]

By far the most knowledgable and resourceful agent you will find in the area. BJ's command of the market - including the nuances of the many and varied neighborhoods in and around Boston - is unparalleled.  Whether you are buying or selling, in BJ you will find a relentless advocate, unyielding in his pursuit of your objectives down to the smallest detail, as well as a trusted friend, willing to give you that painful, yet necessary reality-check.

We recently worked with BJ to sell our condo in Jamaica Plain and were impressed with him from start to finish. We were on a fast timeline, and BJ jumped right on board to guide us through the steps. He was thoughtful, professional and meticulous throughout the process and landed us multiple offers well over asking price within a week. He helped us to negotiate the best deal that met all of our needs. I would gladly recommend him to friends and family looking to buy or sell.
