TESTIMONIALS

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.

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 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!

Jon has been an incredible support and guide throughout our experience of renting for the first time!! He was (very) patient, kind and informative and we knew he had our best interests in mind. He worked on getting our deadline met even if that meant working past midnight. We had several other offers- and Jon went the extra mile to make sure ours got accepted. We’ve already referred Jon to family and friends!!

As first-time home buyers my partner and I felt completely prepared and confident with Jon as our realtor. He talked us through every step of the way so we knew exactly what to expect. He also shared his expertise, so we felt secure in the process and certain that we were making wise decisions.

We are so happy with our first home and relieved that we found it in record time with Jon's and his team's help. We also feel that we made a smart investment because of Jon's strategic advice.

We're so grateful to Jon and his team for helping us to buy our first place! Thanks a million!

BUYING: Jon is a true professional, I could not be more thrilled with the outcome of our search for a forever home. After personally looking for months, Jon entered the picture and took a fresh approach using his market knowledge and keen understanding of our wish list and found the absolute perfect home for my growing family. Not only was I impressed with him on all accounts, I even received emails and praise from everyone else he dealt with during our search and negotiations. I would 100% recommend Jon to my family and friends!

SELLING: It was a pleasure having the opportunity to work with Jon again but this time on the selling end. He came to the table with a detailed marketing plan that garnered a lot of attention and brought in dozens of qualified, prospective buyers. After less than a week my house was sold for well over-ask. It was truly a painless process for me as I knew I was in good hands every step of the way. THANK YOU for everything Jon!

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.
