TESTIMONIALS

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!

Jon has helped our family twice now, first with the purchase of my son and daughter in-laws first home and most recently with the sale of my fathers home. Jon went above and beyond both times ensuring that we were getting the best price and were being updated at all times. His attention to detail and genuine care for his clients is evident in all that he does. Thank you Jon for all your work, I cannot recommend you enough!

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.

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!

Earlier this year, my husband and I got serious about finding a new home for our growing family. We had bought the house we were living in from Jon’s clients 4 years before and he immediately came to mind! We never actually met Jon through the experience of buying from his clients, but I was familiar with him from his friendly visits in the neighbourhood. He was always very kind, respectful and knowledgeable about the area.

We did a consultation with Jon and immediately knew we wanted him on our side, in order to find a new home and sell our home (again😊). From day one, Jon was extremely personable and professional, especially when dealing with other agents. We were always able to understand where we stood in the competition when deciding whether or not to put an offer in, or not. This saved us a lot of time and effort in this regard.

Jon was so patient with us, as over a two month period we saw countless homes. He never pushed us to settle for anything less than what we wanted to be our forever home. Ultimately after many viewings, we found our dream home and Jon gave us excellent advice to ensure we were in the best and most competitive position for the offer process. We were thrilled to get the house of our dreams, with Jon there for us every step of the way!

Following this exciting purchase, and again with the help of Jon and his amazing team, we turned things around very quickly to sell our home that we were upgrading from. We sold our home in less than 24 hours! This was incredible and a HUGE weight off of our shoulders! The listing price was set perfectly, and this was all thanks to Jon’s research and expertise of selling in this area.

From start to finish we cannot express the immense gratitude we have for Jon and his team. Even now that we are no longer “clients” of Jon’s, he remains a friend. He is a genuine human being with the utmost integrity in both work and life and I couldn’t recommend him enough!

Thank you, Jon & team!

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.

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!
