TESTIMONIALS

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!

If you’re looking for full service, we recommend Jon and team. Houses do not sell themselves - especially during market corrections - so we were fortunate to have Jon in our court. His ability to balance our upfront expectations with market realities was just one key success factor. Further, Jon had a systematic process on the sell side which greatly reduced our stress levels. Throughout our buy/sell journey, Jon leveraged data, shared strategies and tactics aligned with current market conditions, and negotiated with tact and with integrity.

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!

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.

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!!!

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!
