As an agent who's an expert in Contra Costa County, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate here. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information. I am eager to serve you. Here are some of the things I can do for you:
Find Your Next Home
You need someone who knows this area inside and out! I can work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home
Sell a Home
When it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home, show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. I can take care of everything you need, from start to close.
Consult on Home Selling Tactics
Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. I can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast.
Testimonials
"Jon helped us purchase our home. As first time home buyers we were pretty green. Jon was very patient with us explaining, guiding and advising us step by step through the process. His is very very responsive to messages or calls or emails. His years of experience and especially his historical knowledge of the east bay (given he grew up here) provided very valuable insight in helping us make the decision. Our home needed some work. The unknown unknowns made us nervous about the purchase. Jon made an effort to connect us with contractors to explain the work needed. He was on all the calls with us and made an effort to simplify the contractor's points (which were quite technical). Overall, very positive experience with Jon. Highly recommended. Hussein & Adeeba"

"We were first-time homebuyers this year, and working with Jon was a wonderful experience. We started out very naive about the market and the home buying process, but Jon was there every step of the way to guide us. Through working with Jon, we were able to narrow down and focus on the aspects that we really valued, and in the end we were able to find a great house at a price that was reasonable for our budget. Jon was very proactive and dedicated, always staying on top of the listings and bringing up many options and helping us compare between them. He put our needs at the forefront, taking time to learn about our circumstances and our requirements, and providing valuable advice based on our situation. When we had concerns about a house we were seriously interested in, he listened to our concerns and advised us against it, which proved to be the right decision. He was patient with us throughout our learning process and didn't rush us to make a decision. His knowledge of the area and"

"Jon is a rockstar!! If you need an agent who will answer all your questions anytime, remain professional, pay high attention to detail and know when to make a move on a home, look no further, Jon is the agent for you! Jon was our agent while just recently purchasing our first home in Walnut Creek. Our search with Jon began about 1 year ago. Like many, this crazy market took us through many highs and lows, excitement and frustration. Jon stood by us none the less, spending countless hours sending us listings, comps for the listing, disclosures, school system information, distances from near by stores, shopping etc for each home. Jon kept his enthusiasm as our search grew longer and longer. He always encouraged us and never lost sight of what we were truly looking for. After getting some buyers fatigue we just about lost hope when Jon encouraged us to offer on this last home! At last!!! We are truly grateful for Jon and are so appreciate of all of his efforts and time that he spent"

"Our family just happened to stumble into Jon at an open house and we just felt right working with him as our agent. We were totally new to the process of buying our first home and Jon was so easy going and chill. We really loved his personality. He never felt pushy in any way and really took into consideration what we were looking for in our first home. He was very professional and well connected."
