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!

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.

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!!!

BUYING: Jon is a true professional, I could not be more thrilled with the outcome of our search for a forever home. After personally looking for months, Jon entered the picture and took a fresh approach using his market knowledge and keen understanding of our wish list and found the absolute perfect home for my growing family. Not only was I impressed with him on all accounts, I even received emails and praise from everyone else he dealt with during our search and negotiations. I would 100% recommend Jon to my family and friends!

SELLING: It was a pleasure having the opportunity to work with Jon again but this time on the selling end. He came to the table with a detailed marketing plan that garnered a lot of attention and brought in dozens of qualified, prospective buyers. After less than a week my house was sold for well over-ask. It was truly a painless process for me as I knew I was in good hands every step of the way. THANK YOU for everything Jon!

We worked with Jon to get our property rented when we were relocating out of province. The experience was fantastic from the start. Jon was incredibly knowledgeable and gave helpful suggestions to ensure we presented our home in the best light. He also guided us through important items we needed to consider when becoming landlords.

He also took a lot of stress out of our move. With Jon we were able to “set it and forget it”. He got it done at a price and a timeframe that was best for us. We cannot recommend him highly enough.

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!

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.
