Aaron Jay
I’m a licensed California real estate broker and Broker/Owner who has called Chico home since 1994, with roots as a small business owner and community member going back to 1998. I entered real estate in 2010 and became Broker/Owner of City of Trees Realty Group, Inc. in 2021. I graduated from California State University, Chico with a Bachelor of Arts in American Studies and Geography, and I’ve built my career on deep knowledge of this region and genuine investment in the people who live here.
I hold the Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) designation, earned by fewer than 3 percent of Realtors nationwide, along with the Graduate, Realtor Institute (GRI) and Military Relocation Professional (MRP) certifications. I’m a member of the National Association of Realtors, California Association of Realtors, and California Regional Multiple Listing Service, and currently serve as Secretary on the 2026 Board of Directors for the Sierra North Valley Association of Realtors.
I actively serve the Northern Sacramento Valley, including Butte, Tehama, and Glenn counties.
Beyond real estate, I’m an Eagle Scout with Palms and a charter member of the Active 20-30 Club of Chico, where I technically co-founded the Margarita Mix-Off, an event raising money for children’s charities throughout Butte County. I also served as Vendor Coordinator for multiple Chico Air Shows.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me camping, boating, chasing aviation adventures, or best of all, spending time with my wife Tamara and our two kids.
