 In 1987, Jay was given an opportunity to work for the Farm Credit System, managing the Eastern Region territory which consisted of three offices ranging from Gadsden County on the West to Madison County on the East.  In this position Jay dealt primarily in commercial lending on larger agricultural timber tracts and plantations in Florida and Georgia, with some rural residential lending also included.

 In 2008, Jay decided to retire after 36 years in real estate lending.  A year into retirement, Jay realized he greatly missed the interaction with people and started looking for a progressive real estate company with national connections and a small staff.  After looking at several companies, he decided to place his license with Joe Manausa Real Estate.  Their website was very advanced and had excellent information which no other company appeared to have.
