TESTIMONIALS

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!!!

My fiancé and I just bought our first home, and we couldn’t have done it without Jon Brock and his team! We were new to real estate and Jon was thorough in helping us learn the process and everything we needed to consider. Visiting properties with him was informative and fun! After several showings, he noticed what we both wanted out of a home and found a place that ticked all the boxes! His strategy allowed us to stay away from intimidating bidding wars, and we got a deal that was under asking, with the conditions we needed. We are so grateful for working with Jon, and look forward to working with him again in the future.

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!

We enlisted the support of Jon Brock in December 2021 to sell our townhouse. Our property was listed a month earlier with a different realtor but after 49 showings and a very stressful 2 weeks, it was not sold! Jon captured our attention for many reasons. He has an excellent sales record and he is extremely knowledgeable and professional. Perhaps the biggest drawing card is his warmth mixed with honesty and confidence.

The lead up to our listing with Jon was smooth. He had a plan in place with a proven strategy, and he followed up with us almost daily.

When our home went live in January 2022 during the Omicron surge, the build up produced the magic. It sold within hours of the first showing and we got a higher price than expected! I should also mention that Jon isn't afraid to get his hands dirty. During staging and the showings, he shovelled the snow on our driveway, kept our home clean and neat, and regularly checked the temperature.

Jon Brock is highly recommended for your realty needs. Jon is the man with a Midas touch, he will turn your property to sold... and gold! Our family is forever grateful to him and his team for realizing our goals. And even though our house is sold, we still speak to John because he says "I am still going to be with you every step of the way!” Your home is your largest asset, choosing the right realtor is going to make all the difference to the quality of your life, don’t waste your time, do not look any further - Jon is the realtor of choice!

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.

We worked with Jon to get our property rented when we were relocating out of province. The experience was fantastic from the start. Jon was incredibly knowledgeable and gave helpful suggestions to ensure we presented our home in the best light. He also guided us through important items we needed to consider when becoming landlords.

He also took a lot of stress out of our move. With Jon we were able to “set it and forget it”. He got it done at a price and a timeframe that was best for us. We cannot recommend him highly enough.
