Jay Cooke + Knowledge x Experience = A Preferred Equation

Jay Cooke is one of Coldwell Banker Previews International’s talented, client-oriented agents, having come to the company through its merger with Preferred Properties. Jay brings over thirteen years of experience and award-winning service to his clientele, putting their needs, expectations and goals first and foremost. Jay’s background has uniquely prepared him for his career in real estate—prior to entering his chosen vocational field in 1998, Jay earned his Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees from the University of Connecticut and holds an ABD PhD title from Michigan State University.

In his thirteen years as a REALTOR®, Jay has earned numerous awards and distinctions. During his tenure with Preferred Properties, Jay earned the distinguished Executive Club, President’s Club and Chairman Awards; at press time, Jay is a member in good standing with the Greenwich Association of REALTORS®, Greenwich MLS, Greater Fairfield County CMLS, Stamford Board of REALTORS®, The Connecticut Association of REALTORS®, and the National Association of REALTORS®. In addition to the rigorous licensure requirements, Jay has additionally achieved an advanced “graduate level” of real estate training, earning the designations of Cartus Network Referral Specialist and Cartus Network Marketing Specialist. These memberships, awards, additional education, training and distinctions are all part of Jay’s commitment to his clients—each one is earned or maintained by careful attention to the changing needs and trends of the market and a dedication to keeping abreast of the newest technologies and market changes to better serve the needs and goals of his clientele.

With Jay, “service” is not simply a vocabulary word—it’s a way of life and an indication of character. Jay and his associates at Coldwell Banker Previews International bring creativity and fun into the workplace, dealing with both buyers and sellers and dealing primarily with single family home, luxury estate, waterfront, condominium, land and new construction transactions. Jay’s love of houses, passion for design and “people-first” attitude towards work prompted his entry into the field of real estate. Jay believes that these qualities, along with a sense of humor, ability to listen and pro-active approach to problem solving are critical to a REALTOR®’s success. Jay practices this belief daily, bringing experience, knowledge, enthusiasm and energy into his office and his transactions. To Jay, the most rewarding part of being a REALTOR® is that he deals in beginnings—whether a brand-new one for a home buyer or facilitating a seller move on to the next fresh start of their lives. 

Jay has weathered the storms of the recent market, and sees the new challenges of the current market as an opportunity to learn and to infuse creativity into problem-solving. His advice to a novice home buyer is to obtain pre-approval prior to beginning a home search; once a prospective homeowner understands the costs of buying and maintaining a home, it allows them to search within their means in terms of cost, comfort and care. Jay notes that in both a home and a market, the mantra “location, location, location” could not be more important—and emphasizes that Greenwich could not be a better example of that mantra at work. Located thirty miles east of New York City on the southern part of Long Island Sound, Greenwich and Fairfield County are recognized as a top-notch residential community, offering all of the conveniences and attractions of the city without all the stresses and problems of city life. In addition to Fairfield County’s close proximity to New York City, the area also boasts over 8,000 acres of protected land, 32 miles of which is coastline and includes four municipally maintained public beaches. Additionally, there are twenty community parks and a municipal golf course for area residents to enjoy, city amenities which played in large part to Greenwich’s recent ranking in the “Top Ten Places to Live in America” by the Robb Report. Natural beauty, an easy commute to the city for work or for play, a friendly community, high ranked public schools and lower taxes are all contributing factors to why Jay Cooke chose Greenwich to call home over twenty years ago.

Today, he invites you to become his neighbor as well as his client. Norwalk Aquarium, Mystic Seaport and Gillette Castle State Park are just a few of the local attractions you’ll find in your own backyard here—but you’re never far away from the bright lights of the city in Greenwich; just far enough that the stars look a little brighter at night.
