TESTIMONIALS

I never would have imagined buying my first home could be so easy! Jon was able to connect me with all the right people to seamlessly execute the purchase of my first home. Given my budget I wasn’t sure I would be able to buy a house I loved. But, Jon was able to find me a house that exceeded all my expectations. Obviously, given the market this meant we had some difficult negotiations and decisions to make but I felt incredibly confident having Jon on my team. He was incredibly knowledgable and consistently took the time to explain everything throughout our house hunting journey. I would 100% recommend Jon to anyone looking for a realtor. He really goes above and beyond and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

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.

From our first introduction to Jon, throughout our house hunting search, and up until the end of closing in on our dream home, Jon and his team have completely blown us away. His attention to detail, professionalism, and passionate commitment to helping us find exactly what we were looking for, is priceless. We’ve had several experiences with other realtors in the past and can confidently say that Jon is the best in the business. We know that without him, we would not have been so fortunate to land our first choice property.

Thank you Jon!!

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!!!

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 just sold my house with Jon Brock. It was very positive, completely stress-free experience.  Jon is a highly professional person with the best social skills I have ever met in the real estate world.  I would suggest his service and support to everyone who is planning to sell or buy a house.  

Thank you so much, Jon, for this positive and successful experience.  He sold my house over the asking price.
