TESTIMONIALS

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.

My fiancé and I just bought our first home, and we couldn’t have done it without Jon Brock and his team! We were new to real estate and Jon was thorough in helping us learn the process and everything we needed to consider. Visiting properties with him was informative and fun! After several showings, he noticed what we both wanted out of a home and found a place that ticked all the boxes! His strategy allowed us to stay away from intimidating bidding wars, and we got a deal that was under asking, with the conditions we needed. We are so grateful for working with Jon, and look forward to working with him again in the future.

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!

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!

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!

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!!!

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!

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!
