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.

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.

We had the pleasure of having Jon Brock as our agent and he went above and beyond to make sure our home would be sold. He is definitely someone you want to sell your home. Our home was sold the same day as it went live. Before that he made sure it was advertised everywhere. His team is very helpful and had someone come in to professional clean the windows and the home and the stager did a lovely job. Jon is not just your agent but is there to help and you feel like you have a friend on your side, I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for an agent.

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.

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!!!

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 and his team are amazing. I am the son of a semi-retired agent, so I know the industry and normally we wouldn't go looking for an Agent but we would handle it ourselves. But we had to sell a property I was a 3 hour drive away from us and the logistics were impossible. I was very picky about who I worked with and Jon came to me through a referral. Jon and his team took care of everything from start to finish and got me top dollar for the place. We sold well above market and significantly above our goals. I mean it when I say, absolutely amazing agent, I have never met an agent so organized and thorough and with such a good process.
