TESTIMONIALS

Earlier this year, my husband and I got serious about finding a new home for our growing family. We had bought the house we were living in from Jon’s clients 4 years before and he immediately came to mind! We never actually met Jon through the experience of buying from his clients, but I was familiar with him from his friendly visits in the neighbourhood. He was always very kind, respectful and knowledgeable about the area.

We did a consultation with Jon and immediately knew we wanted him on our side, in order to find a new home and sell our home (again😊). From day one, Jon was extremely personable and professional, especially when dealing with other agents. We were always able to understand where we stood in the competition when deciding whether or not to put an offer in, or not. This saved us a lot of time and effort in this regard.

Jon was so patient with us, as over a two month period we saw countless homes. He never pushed us to settle for anything less than what we wanted to be our forever home. Ultimately after many viewings, we found our dream home and Jon gave us excellent advice to ensure we were in the best and most competitive position for the offer process. We were thrilled to get the house of our dreams, with Jon there for us every step of the way!

Following this exciting purchase, and again with the help of Jon and his amazing team, we turned things around very quickly to sell our home that we were upgrading from. We sold our home in less than 24 hours! This was incredible and a HUGE weight off of our shoulders! The listing price was set perfectly, and this was all thanks to Jon’s research and expertise of selling in this area.

From start to finish we cannot express the immense gratitude we have for Jon and his team. Even now that we are no longer “clients” of Jon’s, he remains a friend. He is a genuine human being with the utmost integrity in both work and life and I couldn’t recommend him enough!

Thank you, Jon & team!

Jon did an outstanding job representing me when purchasing my first rural property. He had an excellent team of inspectors organized in a very short time frame. He was responsive to my needs, and provided information in a timely and professional manner. Allowing me to feel confident in the negotiated price point, and overall purchase. I would highly recommend Jon, and will use him again in the future.

The search for a real estate agent began once we considered selling our family home. We quickly realized there were two types of agents. The first were agents who got your listing, put their sign on your lawn, put an ad in the paper, organized an open house and waited for a buyer to come. These agents we discovered tend to sell only a few houses a year. The second group of agents maintain a full time office staff and have a network of professional associates to advise and assist in the preparation of your home for sale. Jon Brock proved to be a leader in the latter group. Jon demonstrated a true passion, ethical processes and commitment to selling homes. From my first contact Jon’s direct communication and follow up was impressive plus a monthly newsletter which communicated pertinent information about current market trends. His regular updates gave us the confidence to make the final decision when it was appropriate for us to place our house on the market for sale. Jon developed a professional relationship with our entire family which earned him the endearing title of “Real Estate Jon”. Real Estate Jon determined the optimal date to place our home on the market not only the day but to the hour. He presented us with a price range that was realistic, leading us to comfortably make a pricing decision. Also, he sent in his team to assist us in preparing our home to be presented in the best possible light for a buyer. His associates gave excellent suggestions and timelines for us to follow. Jon provided names of reliable trades people to assist with the task that were beyond our abilities. Jon has a process for marketing which goes beyond putting a sign on the lawn; he publishes a high-quality brochure, creates a professional video and displaying our home on its own website. Jon pre marketed our home to the neighborhood, the real estate community and his network.

The results were amazing! Despite being in what everyone called a very poor market, Real Estate Jon booked 45 showings within the first day that produced 4 valid and competing offers culminating in the sale closing in 36 hours for over asking price. Yet this was not the end of his involvement. Jon and his wonderful staff remained in close contact right up to closing to ensure all went smoothly.
On behalf of our entire family, we wish to sincerely thank Jon Brock and his entire team for a job well done. And we would definitely encourage others to utilize his services.

I actually met Jon several years ago through my neighbor and was impressed so when I decided to sell I reached out to him.

He walked me through the process and made sure that I had all the information I needed to ensure I was successful. The stagers are amazing the place looked like a show home. Everyone told me that Jon would get me sold quickly and he did.

I can't say enough how amazing he and his team are and I would recommend him to anyone. If you want someone who is straightforward to help you sell, go to the expert which is Jon.

If you’re looking for full service, we recommend Jon and team. Houses do not sell themselves - especially during market corrections - so we were fortunate to have Jon in our court. His ability to balance our upfront expectations with market realities was just one key success factor. Further, Jon had a systematic process on the sell side which greatly reduced our stress levels. Throughout our buy/sell journey, Jon leveraged data, shared strategies and tactics aligned with current market conditions, and negotiated with tact and with integrity.

If you are looking for a real estate professional who truly listens and takes the time to understand you; is smart, organized, prepared and well-informed; and has an admirable work ethic, call Jon!

Jon helped my husband and me in every aspect of buying our first home in just a matter of weeks, including sharing his connections with everyone from mortgage brokers to shade installers, and he has inspired confidence every step of the way. He’s clearly very invested in and cares about his community (thank you for all the guided phone tours of Newmarket!), and he really knows the neighbourhoods in which he works. Jon thoroughly looked at each property we visited together, offered thoughtful insight, and also acted as a much-needed “voice of reason” throughout the entire journey.

Jon acts in his clients’ best interests, and with a view of fostering a long-term partnership. He could have persuaded us to increase our offer price on one property we considered, for what I believe could have been a more efficient turnaround for him, but I am so grateful that Jon had the integrity to advocate on our behalf and look out for our best interest. Jon keenly strategized to get us the best possible result--a beautiful first family home in a better neighbourhood, straightforward negotiation, and under(!) our expected budget. All of his work made the entire first-time home-buying process so much less daunting. I can’t express how much I appreciate Jon’s hard work and unreservedly recommend him to anyone!!!

Jon has been an incredible assistance to me and my partner during the last few months, we look forward to working with him again in the future.

The thing that stood out most was the time and care put in to finding us a solution that worked for our situation. Anytime we had a question he was either available right away or called back once he was available. At one point he called while on his vacation, on a Friday evening, because we had an urgent request.

If you’re looking for anything to do with Real Estate I don’t see why you would go to anyone else. Jon always had our best interests in mind.

Jon got it done! My family and I couldn’t be happier with the home Jon was able to find AND successfully negotiate for us. Jon is a consummate professional, and took a thought out approach to how he was going to land us our ‘forever home’, while working within our budget, and balancing our wish list. Jon was calm, cool and collected when presenting to us, and the selling agents. Thanks for everything Jonny!

Edit: Jon utilized his impressive marketing platform to gather a lot of attention to our listing, and was able to help us sell our home in only 6 days, and over ask! We are thrilled with Jon and his services in helping us not only find our forever home, but also get top dollar for the home we sold. Thanks Buddy!
