TESTIMONIALS

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.

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!

If you are looking for a real estate agent that listens to your wants and needs along with excellent communication and problem solving skills, Jon is your guy. My husband and I have what I would describe as over the top expectations, Jon exceeded these expectations. We have told him he is our agent for life. Thank you for selling our home so quickly and making it feel so seamless. It was a true honour to work with you and your team. Until our next project ….

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.

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.
