Jay Overbye, a New York City residential marketplace expert, is consistently recognized as one of the top agents in New York City. Since 2004, he has successfully closed over 650 transactions. Though Jay is proud of the awards and recognition he has received, he considers his most notable accomplishments to be the respect and loyalty of the clients he serves.
With neighborhood expertise throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn, Jay is especially well-versed in the Upper West Side, Williamsburg, and Lincoln Square. He not only has an expert-level knowledge of these areas, but he also has a genuine fondness for the neighborhoods.
Throughout the city, Jay has found buyers great homes and investments, strategically marketed, and sold all types of properties for individual owners and launched new developments. These include 80 Metropolitan and 58 Metropolitan in Williamsburg, two buildings where Jay directed a sales team as the Exclusive Broker, and where he remains the Broker Specialist.
Jay brings a unique passion and contagious enthusiasm to his work thanks to his intrigue with the city's history and architecture, two factors that originally sparked his passion for New York City real estate.

Prior to real estate, Jay worked in advertising and public relations for the Cleveland Indians, Young & Rubicam, and Ziff Davis Publishing.
