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!!!

The reality of real estate in Toronto and the adjacent areas is that you have to be quick, REALLY quick. You need an agent who you can count on literally at any time of the day to be there for you, and Jon is that guy! We went from seeing the place to making an offer and to buying the place within 12 hours really. Jon worked tirelessly throughout the process – all the way up to past midnight to ensure all the paperwork was in order once we were committed to making an offer on our new home. He also managed to negotiate timelines that worked in our favour rather than leave the market open to bidding. If Jon hadn’t stepped up, we wouldn’t be homeowners today.

On a personal note, I found Jon to be very level-headed and forthcoming in our discussions. His assessments of property values helped us gauge what we really could and couldn’t afford. This is key, because most (all) properties in this region go well above asking and a true assessment is essential to help you save your sweat and tears. We found him to be very courteous, detail-oriented and someone who genuinely seemed to be involved in this journey with us as a ‘partner’ as he likes to call it. Jon, thanks for making it happen for us!

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.

As first time home buyers, Jon was the perfect person to have as we navigated the Toronto real estate market. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about what was needed to pursue the properties we were interested in, he made the process far less daunting than we expected. Jon got us exactly what we wanted and offered clear and informed guidance on value and growth potential. It is clear that Jon approaches real estate with the intent to create long-term partnerships with clients and this shows through in the way he communicates, advocates and works with people. We could count on Jon any time of the day – his thoughtful, informed and thorough support was exactly what we needed.

Jon is the perfect partner for someone to have in their journey of finding a home. He is extremely motivated, engaged and very responsive. In days where time is literally money (24 hours can mean losing your shot in THE house, or >50k extra), you will need someone able to find the reality behind the “asking price” and get to the bottom of what is required in each situation very fast. I was flabbergasted to see how his assessments of property prices were always right.

From the time I told Jon that I loved a place, it took him less than 24h to run a thorough background check and to guarantee that that place was mine. I should mention that when I decided to put down an offer, there was another comparable place closing (same location, but 1bed and and 1bath less than mine). When I learned how much this one was sold for, I knew we had made a FANTASTIC deal!

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!
