Description
Born and raised in Connecticut, Jay moved to Utah in 1985 to attend the University of Utah. After graduation, Jay worked in restaurant management until finding his place in the mortgage lending industry in 1991. Jay has 19 successful years of financing experience with Norwest Mortgage and Wells Fargo and 10 years as Owner / Operator of Crescent Mortgage in Park City.
At Norwest and Wells Fargo Jay was awarded the Top 1% Producer for 19 consecutive years. In 2000 Jay opened Crescent Mortgage and operated that business as Managing Partner for ten years while building a reputation as one of Park City’s most respected and trusted residential lenders. Jay’s experience in lending was not limited to individual buyer transactions but also included development involvement including many FNMA and FHLMC approvals. During his time in the mortgage industry, Jay worked closely with condominium developments in Pinebrook, NewPark, Deer Valley, Solitude, and Sundance.
Working in residential mortgage loans, title, appraisal, insurance & HOA, Jay’s depth and breadth of knowledge serve both Buyers & Sellers in any real estate transaction. His empirical knowledge of the lending environment, past & present, is an invaluable asset to those clients with or without financing needs.
In 2010 Jay moved his expertise to real estate. Having been a long-time passion, the real estate industry was an obvious fit for Jay. Since arriving in Park City in 1992, Jay has bought and sold over 50 local properties, managed long and short-term rentals, built luxury homes, and remodeled over 40 homes and condominiums. Having had a hand in nearly every phase of property ownership, management, and construction throughout his Park City tenure, Jay has the experience to assist in your transition into and out of property ownership in Park City. Professional Real Estate expertise aside, Jay’s experience in lending, finance, building, remodeling, and property management makes him an incredible local asset to each client and their individual property needs.
Outside of real estate, Jay is the father to three amazing daughters, a true Park City advocate, and a frequent volunteer to many local non-profit agencies, including The Children’s Justice Centers of Summit and Wasatch Counties, Mountain Trails Foundation, and The Peace House. Jay spends the rest of his free time outdoors, enjoying the same things that draw so many to Park City. An avid (maybe obsessed) trail runner, and mountain and road biker, Jay also enjoys hiking and fly fishing and all the local entertainment from the Egyptian Theater to over 400 Mountain Town Music events throughout the year.

Jay has been a fantastic partner in our Utah real estate journey. We originally wanted a vacation place, but now have two rental income properties. He is attentive, rational, not pushy and provides service above and beyond what is expected. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Jay helped me find the perfect Park City condo! It started with Jay understanding and asking questions about what I would use the condo for and why I wanted to buy one. This helped to narrow down the list of potential locations when listings came out. We did the showing via FaceTime as I live out of state, and Jay was honest and upfront with his feedback regarding the listing, including what I would need to replace right away, etc. At all points during the process Jay was always available to address my questions and concerns, and the communication was top notch. He also went above and beyond in helping me with the little things related to the condo since I wasn’t close by. Thanks to Jay and his team, I now have a place of my own in beautiful Park City!!
"We have worked with the Sheridan Group several times in the past 3 years and have been extremely pleased with the level of service and attention to detail that Suzanne and Jay have provided. We highly recommend this firm for your real estate needs in Park City"
Jay and Suzanne made the experience of buying our first home exceptional. Jay was very in tune with not only the type of home we were looking for, but the type of lifestyle we wanted in Park City. He was always there to answer all our questions big and small, and help us with every step of the process as this was all new terrain for us. It felt as if he was our advocate in every detail, and that he was genuinely excited for us to find the perfect fit. We are so happy with our Park City home, and would recommend Jay and Suzanne to anyone looking to buy in the Park City area.
Jay Sheridan is a true professional. He helped find us a pre-market home to buy during the height of the pandemic housing craziness. He knows the Park City market and how to get the deal done! He is well respected amongst his colleagues and his deep roots in the community were assets in bringing our deal together. We loved that Jay always treated us like his number one clients even though our home was a fraction of many of the deals he had going on at the same time. I can’t imagine working with anyone else. Thank you, Jay!
"I was introduced to Jay my best friend because Jay had sold his house in a day for more than he had anticipated. Jay had my town home sold before it had hit the MLS for more than the listing price. I'm not saying this will happen for you but it shows how in tune he is with the market and the other realtors in the area. I was out of the country during the process and Jay made sure everything was done on time including the cleaning, touch up painting and the moving of any last items in the house. He's a great guy, true professional and incredibly responsive. I didn't realize how easy it could be to sell my town home and I honestly believe it was because of Jay. You will be so happy working with Jay!"
"Jay was really enjoyable to work with and his perseverance enabled us to close on our property. I think his best attributes are patience, honesty, local knowledge, and a sincere willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty. We dragged our feet for a while and Jay never gave up. His communication was consistent, but we never felt like he was pushing us. I highly recommend reaching out to Jay if you want a great experience finding the right property in the Park City area."
On behalf of my family, I would like to sincerely thank you for your great service as our real estate agent on our recent home purchase. We are so thankful we made the decision to bring you on as our partner to secure our new home. Your advice, responsiveness, attention to detail, and support were instrumental in the process. I am confident that without you along, we would not have been successful in our bid to buy our home. In fact, simply by having our first meeting over coffee, we were able to understand the urgency and expedite the process to make sure we were in the game at a crucial time. Your relationship with other realtors and the title company helped immensely in securing the deal. You also helped in our struggles with our financing company, getting us necessary extensions and pushing the underwriters to move swiftly. Finally, your recommendation on movers was fantastic and made our move an easy one.
We will not hesitate to recommend you to our friends and will look to you in the future for our real estate needs. Thank you so much for your help and friendship through this transaction. We are thrilled with our new home!
Jay was a pleasure to work with on the recent sale of our Park City condo. He came highly recommended by family members who live in Park City and have worked with him for years. We really trusted his insights and knowledge of the local market, and it was wonderful to have someone on local when little things came up. In the end, we had two offers within 36 hours of listing the property. My husband and I highly recommend him to others.
If you are looking to buy or sell in the Park City area, meet the Dream Team, Suzanne and Jay Sheridan. In a highly competitive real estate market, this husband and wife combination will be your strongest advocates. They offer you years of experience, excellent knowledge of an ever-changing market, sound judgment and good advice. They put your needs and desires first and foremost, always going the extra mile for you. They may even perform a small miracle, as they did when they found a home for us in a highly desirable neighborhood where no homes were listed for sale! Not only are Suzanne and Jay consummate professionals and they are the kind of people you would love to have as next-door neighbors. They are personable, kind, thoughtful, reliable, helpful and empathetic. Consequently, they are a real pleasure to work with, and we recommend them most highly.
