"An amazing experience purchasing our first home. Jon was relentless with his efforts to find just the right home for our young family. Super cool under pressure negotiating until our terms were met. Thanks a ton Jon. Awesome dude." -kd4ife
"Jon was the right guy to work with in this seller market. It was a long journey and took us over a year to find my current home. He was extremely patient, professional, and I learned a lot from him throughout the entire process. He was very easy to communicate with and quick to respond with questions I had. If you are a millennial, you would appreciate his timely response via text and email. Most importantly, he was always honest with me, had my best interest in mind, and was never pushy. His knowledge of the Seattle condo market is superb. He let me explored my options, but also guided me in the right direction at the same time. I trusted his judgment when it comes to making an offer or to back away from making an offer when it wasn’t worth pursuing due to bidding war. He never pressured me to do anything I wasn’t comfortable with and with due diligence explained everything to me during the contract/negotiation/closing process. He also went above and beyond his responsibilities as a buyer agent and took care of some of the aspects that should have been taken care of by the seller agent. Overall, I would highly recommend Jon to anyone. It was pleasure working with Jon because he truly made the home buying process stress free for me." -K T
"Jon was awesome when it came to helping my wife and I purchase our first home. Not only did we find a home that had everything we were looking for and in a location that we liked, but we were able to get our home at a fair price because of Jon's diligence and persistence. Jon will work tirelessly for you, and his responsiveness and market knowledge will help keep you feeling calm and at ease during your home search." -zuser20161011121635861
"Jon was everything I was looking for in a Realtor when it came time to put my condo in Kirkland, WA on the market. Jon is knowledegable and offered all the tips and tools available to give my condo the best exposure for the best price and quickest sale. Jon is also quick to respond to any calls or questions I sent which I very much appreciate. I highly recommend Jon to anyone selling or buying real estate in the Seattle area!" -threerivers550
"Jon is not just your average real estate agent. He works with you through every little nuance of the buying or selling process. Jon helped me not only sell a property but also buy my first home. He was able to secure and negotiate a high selling price and made the process extremely easy for me. On the buy side, Jon navigated a very tough and competitive home buying environment and was able to get us into a home we thought we had no chance buying. His behind the scenes work with other agents is unparalleled compared to other agents. His communications skills are tremendous!! You can't go wrong with Jon." -djmorrissette0
"Jon was wonderful to work with! I started looking for a home without really knowing if it was even something attainable for me as a first time home buyer in a crazy seller's market. Jon helped to educate me in the home buying process, showed me homes that were within my budget, and was able to advise me through several offers. When showing me homes, he was always on time or early, and easily navigated from home to home. When I had questions about each home, he immediately contacted selling agents to find out all the information he could. It was through his proactive actions that I was eventually able to get not one, but two, offers accepted on townhomes with multiple other offers. It was his knowledge of how to navigate this competitive Seattle area market that helped me to get an offer accepted on a home that met all of my must-have needs. I have already recommended Jon to a few friends who are thinking about buying or selling their homes!" -tessakaplan
"I was referred to Jon by a friend who praised his knowledge of the market in Seattle; I called him and we met at a Cafe. Since our first meeting, he focused on educating the buyer instead of pushing for an immediate sell. Right away, I got a good impression by him as someone who is trustworthy. We decided to meet more times to take a look at options in different Seattle neighborhoods. In every visit he emphasized the importance on learning what the buyer wants, what is important, which areas of the city are the ones he/she likes better, the desired style and size of the house, etc. He advised to really get to see multiple options before considering making an offer. Jon was patient and understanding that the process of finding the property that you love is long. He was not annoyingly insistent but not too distant, so he was able to keep our working relationship at the right pace. During the process we took time to study sample offer letters and contracts to be more familiarized with the process. When we chose the right property, he suggested we make an offer which was lower than the asking price. During the back & forth with the seller, he did not push us for something that we were not comfortable with; he focused on the buyer being happy instead of finalizing a sale. After the offer was accepted, we had a trip planned so he was the only one present during the inspection of the home. He was always available to guide us through the process until closing." -zuser20140917140444648
"I've worked with five agents in the past, and Jon is leagues above and beyond any of them for a few simple reasons which millenials like me appreciate - timeliness via texts and emails, focused on getting the tough answers to your questions with lightning fast accuracy, and total honesty around every data point around your purchase. It was a pleasure having Jon as my agent and - aside from being a great guy who is extremely personable and friendly - he will be by your side in the buying trenches as you work through purchasing your house. I would recommend Jon for anyone who is smart, tech-minded, and wants someone who "gets it" when it comes to being ultra-fast in responding to your needs and fighting for you during negotiations." -SolKeiter
"Even from my very first interaction with Jon, I knew that he was extremely knowledgeable about his work and a great resource to have on my side. He was willing to work with me through all my questions as a first time home buyer, and made the process as straightforward as possible for me. Behind the scenes, he worked tirelessly to establish strong relationships with the sellers' agents and doing research with me to help craft solid offers on homes. I would absolutely recommend Jon as an agent!" -kyeopu
"I was a first time home buyer shopping in a highly competitive market also within the constraints of trust. I had absolutely no experience in either area. But with Jon's kind nature, knowledge and level of professionalism I felt confident throughout the entire process. He was always available when I had questions and remained optimistic even when things were looked grim. Jon was determined to get me exactly what I wanted and didn't hesitate to got the extra mile. Jon proved to be trustworthy and dependable an I certainly wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others!" -Jesseca Mercure
