Jon Chambers

★★★★★
"Jon Chambers is one of the best people you could hope to work with. From our first call, he set expectations for this tough market, while also reassuring us that he would help us find a home to meet our needs. As we started our search, he was a great sounding board for listings, and he proactively sent us opportunities based on what he knew about our criteria. At each property, he gave us his honest, measured opinion, and made it a priority to help us make an informed decision. I cannot emphasize enough how much peace of mind it brought us to know that the priority wasn't just getting us into a home as quickly as possible - it was getting us into the home that would work best for our needs. When we finally found that home, he guided us through the closing process, and did a phenomenal job negotiating on our behalf. Now that we've closed, he's continued to check in on the issues that were discovered through the inspection and has been a great source of recommendations for businesses and contractors when we've requested that information. It's no exaggeration to say that I don't know how we would have managed without Jon's knowledge, positive disposition, and helpful attitude - we would enthusiastically recommend his services to anyone looking to navigate the Austin real estate market!" - Ali H.

" It gives us great pleasure to express our thoughts about how Jon super exceeded our expectations. Jon is very humble. He is very punctual, responsible, responsive, skilled, insightful and most of all he is very customer-focused. My wife and I are seniors. We are moving to Texas (The Lone Star State) after living in New Jersey (The Garden State) for 40 years (in the same house) to be closer to our son. We love everything here but buying a house was a big challenge. The construction, the design, the layout and the maintenance issues related to Texas homes are very different. However, after we met Jon, we knew right away that we can depend on him absolutely. He became our friend and also a guide. He answered all our questions very patiently and explained everything we needed to know about homes and the housing market in the Austin/Buda area. Jon kept sending us a list of homes for sale daily and showed us many homes for almost a year. Thank you, Jon. We admire your resilience. The most amazing part was how Jon created an offer to the seller that the seller could not refuse. We were truly impressed by Jon's experience, expertise, and creativity. Thank you again, Jon. Lastly, Jon helped us and guided us through each step of the closing process. Everything was accomplished very smoothly. Jon's team (including Leah) is very efficient and very caring. Jon is a gem. We will continue to count on him and will keep in touch." - Krishna + Gita V.

"My husband and I were first-time home buyers & working with Jon Chambers made it seamless. He educated us & was with us every step of the way & helped us find our perfect first home. We would’ve been lost without Jon & are so thankful for his help. I will definitely be recommending him & Compass to my friends & family!" -Melissa S.

"I really enjoy working with Jon. He helped me sell my house and buy a condo 8 years ago, and was the first person I went to when it was time for me to move again. He communicates openly and honestly and I feel I can really trust him. And he gets the job done. Selling my condo went very smoothly. Jon was very good about setting my expectations along the way, and he managed the bidding process very well. I am very pleased with how it all turned out." - Brett

★★★★★
"Jon was a pleasure to work with and helped make this process extremely smooth. I truly trust and respect Jon's opinion and advice and would happily recommend him to work with any of my friends and family. You are lucky to have him on board! " - Hannah L.

★★★★★
"Jon guided us through a new home-build purchase which spanned 17 months of time from start to finish right in the heart of the pandemic era and was an emotional and financial roller coaster experience. Prices rose, quality dropped, and timelines were constantly delayed. Jon helped us navigate this very challenging experience (and unprecedented for him, too, I believe) remarkably well. He is extremely giving of his time, has outstanding resources (e.g., his go-to lender, admin, and inspectors are top-notch), and has deep insight into timelines (he called the expected slippage time of our home relative to what the builder was telling us, almost to a T) ..... I could go on for several more paragraphs. Our new home sales agent told us that Jon is one of the best agents he has ever worked with - and he pretty much dislikes (to put it nicely!) all real estate agents. Our favorite part of working with Jon is that he carries himself with a peaceful demeanor that settled us down many times. Because we are so emotionally invested in our home (we left everything behind in Maryland to move to Texas and start a new life, and this home is the culmination of that journey in many ways), Jon was there to support us for so long (given the delays in construction spanning 2020, 2021, and 2022!), that we don't view him as an agent but a part of our extended family. Jon will be helping us buy my parents' home in Texas later this year. " - Gunjan

"My husband and I have worked with Jon a few times- selling and buying. He’s the very best of the best! We cannot recommend him enough!" - Taylor D.

★★★★★
"Jon is a gem. Attentive, straightforward, patient, funny, smart .... Always made himself available for the pile of questions I laid on him, sometimes more than once. Austin Realty is lucky to have him!" - Nan

★★★★★
"Jon is quite possibly the most thoughtful and thorough professional that I've ever interacted with in any capacity. Courtney and I could not have felt more comfortable and supported throughout the process. While we were very lucky to have won the first offer that we placed, Courtney and I were bummed that this meant less time chilling with Jon!" - Winslow

★★★★★
"Jon is the best! We really appreciated his thoroughness in helping us understand each step along the way and how he helped us stay on track and calm when issues arose. He’s honest and engaged, and thoughtful, and we loved working with him. Our house sold for way more than expected, not in small part because of the time invested in preparation for listing and the high-quality marketing. We appreciate the whole team - particularly Jon, Leah, and the amazing photographer. Thanks so much! " - Amber F.

★★★★★
"It was a pleasure working with Jon Chambers. Not only is he very experienced and knowledgeable, but he is also a great human being. Jon kept us informed, and it felt as if we were his only clients (although I know we were not). I appreciate the challenging nature of today’s housing market, and I felt Jon prepared us well to be successful buyers. I have bought and sold many homes over the years, and I also spent most of my career in the commercial real estate industry. So with that experience, I can honestly say Jon is a true professional who made the buying experience pleasurable and successful. I would highly recommend Jon and Compass (your process was well thought out and comprehensive). Very helpful for this out-of-state buyer." - Michael T.

"We searched for a year and a half to find a home. We saw hundreds of homes in the Austin Market, of all types, in all areas! We kept an open mind but ultimately were disappointed with the quality of homes and the general market (two things our Agent, Jon Chambers, couldn't control). That said, Jon was our second agent in our search. He was referred to us by a friend, and we had an hour-long video call to meet and see if we felt things would work for us. We were instantly blown away by Jon's thoroughness, knowledge of "required" waivers, as well as keeping up with all the latest market trends. His whole process is methodical, and he has a great team behind him to help close deals. Jon found us a unique buying opportunity and saw it the whole way through. We are literally so lucky to have found him as I think we would have given up months ago had we not switched over to him. To take on two fatigued buyers and see them into a beautiful, turnkey home in this market was nothing short of MAGIC! In addition, Jon is incredibly professional, caring, and had great awareness of boundary lines. He will tell you the "hard news" but always give you a brace for impact disclaimer. After working together for a few short months, I can say Jon is a funny guy, and that made the experience all the more enjoyable. A huge shoutout to his family for sharing him with us for so long." - Ryan C. + Mitchell W.

"It was such a wonderful experience buying a home with Jon. He really has made this experience as effortless as possible to us during the entire process. I will recommend him, without reservation, to my friends and neighbors that are considering entering the housing market." - Karen Z.

★★★★★
"Working with Jon Chambers at Compass was great. He helped navigate my first sale to great success. He had great recommendations for companies for repairs and staging and definitely came through on making sure they did a great job before we went live on MLS. Thanks, Jon!" - Betsy W.

★★★★★
"My experience with Jon Chambers was outstanding. I am the 72-year-old father of Bethany who lives 2000 miles away from me, and without Jon's help, I could not have pulled off a great purchase in a great neighborhood and helping with after purchase improvements. He was a real estate agent and general contractor, and maybe a big brother for Bethany. Thanks, Jon." - Don P.

★★★★★
"We worked with Jon Chambers and his team to buy our first house in Austin. Jon is extremely knowledgeable about the neighborhoods we were looking at and helped us to weigh the pros and cons of each option as an investment. Once we decided to put an offer in on the house, Jon went above and beyond to help coordinate all of the inspections and negotiate with the seller to get us the best deal. He stayed in touch with us via text, email, and phone calls on a regular basis throughout the whole process, and we could tell that he really cared about us finding the right property. 100% recommend working with Jon and his team!" - Bella L.

★★★★★
"Jon was great. He was always available when needed and made sure all our questions were answered. He went above and beyond to ensure we had all the information to make informed decisions. We would definitely recommend him." - Gregory L.

★★★★★
"Jon is awesome! We’ve been using him since 2013, and he is our go-to Realtor!" - Shawn M.

★★★★★
"This is our third transaction with Jon, and our experience remains the same. Jon is a true professional, and his teaching experience certainly gives him the skills and patience to work with clients, manage their expectations, and navigate personality dynamics! His commitment to his clients is superb, and it shows in all of our interactions. He wants to be sure we are informed and feel comfortable throughout the process. You've got a winner (and this goes for Leah too)!" - Randi M.

★★★★★
"Jon Chambers (and his team) recently facilitated the sale of our home. He handled everything seamlessly, with compassion and professionalism. We received a great offer that had us closed in 2 weeks and able to move within our timeline with $$ in our pockets. We will surely work Jon and Compass on future transactions. Thank you!" - J. M.

★★★★★
"Working with Jon Chambers has been a wonderfully stress-free and pleasant experience. He listened to my wishes and desires and took the time to assist me in every way, from driving around the area to letting me know about the neighborhood to providing me with thoughtful guidance and names of contractors. Jon is a true professional. I began working with Jon about a year ago when I started to look into retirement and relocation to Austin. Jon began the process of providing me with listings in the area I preferred and price range. He stayed in touch with me during this time, and once I arrived in Austin, he escalated the search, finding the perfect “little house” for me in Austin. I would recommend Jon to anyone who is looking for a Realtor in the greater Austin area!" - Beth Ann

★★★★★
"Jon Chambers is my favorite Realtor now! I got matched with the perfect agent to search, research, and find my home in Round Rock, TX. Jon is an awesome, dedicated, conscientious, patient, and informative Realtor. With the minimal time we had, he was extremely helpful in taking us to multiple locations on the same day and viewing more than 15 houses some days. He educated us and co-ordinated everything with the title company and made all arrangements for a smooth closing without our physical presence. We followed pretty much his valuable recommendations on insurance, home warranty, property management, etc../i>" - Usha S.

★★★★★
"Jon Chambers did an excellent job for me. He had a lot of houses set up to see in a short time as I was from a different state and had limited time. I found a great home. Jon was and is always responsive to my calls and texts and was just great overall. Thanks!" - Mary J. W.

★★★★★
"Jon Chambers was absolutely amazing in helping us as first-time homebuyers. Jon was patient, thorough and extremely professional. He answered all of our questions through call, text, email, etc. in a timely fashion and with great information. I highly recommend Jon and will pass along his information to any of our friends looking to purchase a home." - Dan C.

★★★★★
"Jon was proactive, goal oriented and had our best interests in mind. I appreciated the consistent communication and also the attention to our preferences. It's hard to balance allowing the expert to be the expert and also being assertive about our needs, and I felt this balance was fully intact throughout our work together. I will be referring any friends and family looking for homes to Jon." - August W.

★★★★★
"From the time I first mentioned to Jon that I was considering selling my home (but was struggling with the decision), he was immediately helpful in communicating the things I would need to know to make my decision. Without the information, he gave me and the phone calls he took during my struggle I don't know how I would have made up my mind. Not only was it a total pleasure to work with Jon through that phase but I felt even more taken care of through the selling process. He went above and beyond what I would expect from any Realtor. He was always in touch with the step by step process. He took over the construction and remodel improvements I had to make by finding and meeting the contractors and landscapers and staying on top of them to meet deadlines and meet my aesthetic requirements. Jon even came to water the grass and plants since I live in Los Angeles. He helped find a home staging company that fit the vibe of the house for the showings. He would always send pictures and let me know how things were coming along. I feel like I was incredibly lucky that a friend recommended Jon to me. I honestly don't know what I would have done without him. I am incredibly grateful to have had Jon as my Realtor, and I consider him a friend. I can't wait to pop a bottle of belated champagne with him next time I'm in Austin." - Leisha H.

★★★★★
"I can't share enough positive feedback about working with Jon; he is a true professional! My husband and I relocated from another state and Jon was incredibly thorough through every step of the buying process here in Texas, a state in which we were unfamiliar. Jon always provided feedback from a neutral stance, presenting the pros and cons of each situation. His background as a teacher shines through. Not to mention, he is friendly and patient with my many questions often not business related but rather about the city of Austin in general. Jon went above and beyond to connect us to other professionals like local principals, a great lender, inspector, and contractor. This does not, of course, stop at Jon. Leah was also wonderful to work with too! We are so grateful to find Jon who helped us not only buy a great home but warmly welcomed us to a new city as our first friend here. We love Jon!" - Randi M.

★★★★★
"Jon Chambers recently represented my wife and me in the purchase of a property in Lakeway. Jon gets A+'s from us, across the board! Jon was just great. He did everything and more. He was very efficient and very well informed about the market. I'm sorry I haven't responded sooner, but we have been a little crazy with the move. Thanks for everything, Jon!" - Rick S.

★★★★★
"My experience with Jon Chambers was beyond great. To borrow a quote from my favorite TV show, 'The Office': The dictionary defines superlative as: of the highest kind, quality, or order, surpassing all else, or others. Supreme. I define it as Jon Chambers. As my Realtor, as a man and as a friend, Jon is of the highest kind, quality, and order. Supreme. Jon was a constant guiding light and source of positivity during the process of buying my first home ever in a very competitive and ruthless market. His experience, knowledge, patience, and wisdom helped me get a house in my desired neighborhood at the right price in relatively short time. I would recommend Jon to anyone." - Lito T.

★★★★★
"Jon was a pleasure to work with. He went above and beyond educating us about the Austin market and was super helpful to us answering every single question with great detail. We were first time home buyers, so I can't explain how invaluable this was to us. In the end, we avoided a bidding war and ended up in a dream home, in our favorite area in Austin. Even though we realized on closing day the seller was a little unhinged, everything went off with a minimal headache because of Jon's cool demeanor under adversity. We will definitely recommend Jon to family and friends looking in the Austin market, especially friends of ours looking for their first home in the Austin area. If we're ever looking again, Jon will be our first call." - Nevin + Bailey W.

★★★★★
"Jon did an amazing job on the sale of our home. His experience, negotiating skills, professionalism, and guidance made the experience super easy. With Jon's help, we were able to sell our home for above-asking price, which was a pleasant and unexpected surprise! Jon gave us several tips on how to arrange our home to receive the most return on our investment. In addition, he was able to bring us a buyer that allowed a 3-4 month lease back so that my wife, 8 month old daughter and myself didn't have to make a move until our new home construction is completed. He exceeded all of my expectations and went above and beyond to make the deal go as smoothly as possible. Jon also played an integral role in the purchase of our new home. He stays on top of the builders and makes certain they stay on target for our completion date. I believe that Jon would be an asset to any business, but when it comes to real estate, I strongly believe he has found his niche. I have recommended his services to my in-laws, and he also helped my brother with the purchase of his home. The guy is great at what he does, and we will continue to use Jon for all of our real estate needs." - Casey L.

★★★★★
"Jon Chambers' handling of the purchase of our new home was exceptional in all categories. His knowledge of the real estate market helped us make the right decision, and his attention to detail made everything go smoothly. I would without hesitation recommend Jon to anyone looking to buy or sell a home." - Rick

★★★★★
"Our experience working with Jon was very good. He clearly understood our expectations concerning price range, location, and sense of urgency that we had at the beginning of the buying process. He found us the exact house that we were looking for that met all of our needs. Nancy and I were beginning a three-week international trip when this house became available. John did a great job in communicating with us as we departed before the final negotiations and settlement. He helped us coordinate a winning offer, execute a house inspection, arranged a formal survey review and maintained solid communications with the sellers and their representative. All of this was accomplished through a series of emails, telecoms, and texts, accommodating an eight or ten-hour time zone difference. We really appreciate Jon's flexibility and commitment in helping us meet all necessary deadlines while this was proceeding. Jon went above and beyond all the way up through the closing. We are very appreciative of his professionalism and will happily recommend Jon to friends and neighbors looking to find a home." - Pat L.

★★★★★
"Jon Chambers is the best real estate agent in the entire universe! I hear other people tell horror stories about their dealings with agents and I am shocked by what I hear. Jon treats each investment like it's his own and makes sure to share all the pros and cons of each situation with you. His advice and expertise are second to none, and I am proud to say that I will be buying my new property from him as well. Jon is always available and makes it a point to educate and inform you. I recommend him to anybody I know who is either looking to buy or sell." - Matthew N.

★★★★★
"Jon is an amazing Realtor. He understood our needs very clearly, accurately pointed out pros and cons of different choices of properties in the market, and gave us very valuable professional advice with personal care and diligence. He was solely responsible for getting a price reduction even when we were not thinking or asking about it for our purchase of the new condo; which was an unexpected windfall for us. It was Jon's professional approach that made it happen. Jon was very proactive in every stage of the purchase from viewing, contract, through closing, paying attention to every minute details, getting the inspection, warranty, walk-through, options for home insurance, mortgage application, etc. Altogether, it was very pleasant and rewarding experience and engagement with Jon. We are so fortunate to have Jon as our agent, and we will highly recommend him to any of our friends and family. Thank Jon, and the whole team at Compass for a happy purchase of our new condo." - Cheranellore V.

★★★★★
"I can't recommend Jon highly enough. He walked us through every step of an exciting, but emotional process. We were selling our beloved home that we've lived in for 18 years and raised our children in. At every turn, Jon was available for support. He offered wise and seasoned professional guidance, but also offered reassurance and compassion through the twists and turns that a process like this inevitably takes. I can't imagine going through it with anyone else. Jon's communication skills are superb, and he is incredibly attentive and reliable. Bonus, he has an eye for precision and detail, and a commitment to making sure everything is exactly as is it should be, that made us feel very well taken care of. I will tell everyone I know looking for an agent to not waste any time...call Jon first!" - Bethany P.

★★★★★
"Jon was honestly fantastic. Jon is very candid and proved himself to be very trustworthy. He sets clear expectations and delivers on those expectations. I live in New Mexico and was selling the house from a long distance. My most recent tenants left the home pretty banged up. Jon helped me find contractors to prepare the house for sale, updated me on the progress of those contractors, and got the home sold the first day it was listed. His advice was critical to my success. Jon was very responsive to any questions I had and was proactive in letting me know what was going on with the sale. I really can't speak highly enough of my experience with him." - Annie K.

★★★★★
"Jon was my real estate agent when my fiance and I moved to Austin from New York City. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable about the Austin real estate market and helped us find a beautiful house. Jon is well versed on different areas of the city and listened to what was important to us to help refine our search. I felt Jon represented my interests, respected my time and genuinely wanted us to find a house that we would be happy in. We love the place he helped us find. In addition to being a great agent, he's a great person and is fun to be around. I would highly recommend Jon to anyone looking to purchase real estate in the Austin area." - Ryan P.

★★★★★
"My experience with Jon during the search and purchase of a home in Austin was exemplary. I found Jon to be prompt, responsive, knowledgeable and always supportive. There were a few glitches along the way and Jon helped us navigate the system successfully. I would give him an A+ rating as a realtor and good guy!" - Jo Ann B.

★★★★★
"I am a mortgage loan officer who has worked with Jon on several transactions. Every single one of his clients has been very satisfied with his work ethic, his professionalism, and his way of handling things in a timely manner. I personally enjoy working with Jon and his clients because of the first class service he provides." - Jorge A.

★★★★★
"We used Jon's services early this year to purchase an apartment in downtown Austin. I was impressed by his breadth of knowledge, attention to detail, willingness to go out of his way to help us complete the documents required for obtaining the bank financing. Last but not least, he guided us through the bidding process and managed to get us a lower price than what we were willing to pay. I have dealt with a lot of brokers who care only about closing the deal. Jon is different." - Nakhli Z.

★★★★★
"In choosing a realtor in Austin, you'd look for two things. First, deep knowledge of the area - the character of neighborhoods, quality of builders, etc. Second, an understanding of real estate - what's going to be a good investment, not only for resale but the assessment of a home's likelihood to have any serious issues. Jon's got both areas down pat. But you get a lot more with Jon. He's patient - not out to get a quick buck, but will bend over backward to find the right place for you - and he takes the time to get to know what you want. He's a voice of reason - it's easy to get excited about a property and sometimes hard to be objective about it if you have an irrational emotional attachment. He can provide the reality check we all need. He's also just a genuinely nice guy - does that count for anything in real estate? I don't know, but they're the kind of people I want to do business with. I wish I could take Jon with me as an agent for all major purchase decisions. I trust him completely, and with no other real estate agent have I been so sure that he was purely working with my best interests in mind." - Matt Y.

★★★★★
"Jon helped my mom and aunt find a house a few years ago and was incredibly patient with what was obviously a stressful and lengthy process. He is just so sweet, funny, and very knowledgeable about buying a house. He has always been available to answer questions and help us look into potential purchases. Jon is our go-to realtor and I would absolutely recommend him! In fact, I already have - a friend followed my advice and bought her house with Jon's help." - Angelica N.

★★★★★
"When my fiance and I decided to postpone our wedding to buy our dream house, I was very particular about the agent we would use to work on our behalf. Prior to my current position, I worked in the mortgage industry for several years and became well acquainted with how some real estate professionals conduct their business. We talked to several agents, but when we met Jon, we knew we found the man for the job. He dispelled all of my preconceived notions about real estate agents and went above and beyond what we would have expected before, during, and after the sale. On our particular transaction, we had multiple hurdles to overcome. Negotiating the price, the financing, and repairs were just some of the obstacles, but he navigated through the mess like a trooper. In the end, we were in the house we wanted for the price we wanted. Jon has a great personality and varied interests, so there's a good chance that you will click with him on some personal note. I always recommend Jon to my friends and family when someone is thinking about buying or selling." - Patrick H.

★★★★★
"After interviewing several realtors recommended by friends, I decided to work with Jon to sell my downtown condo and buy a house this year (2011). I initially felt more comfortable with Jon because of his laid back, no pressure style. I did not like the realtors who acted as if real estate is an exact science - he understands that both buyer and seller are human and will look at properties from a variety of perspectives. He always carried himself as an educator rather than a salesman, which is exactly what I was looking for. Several realtors \strongly\" encouraged me to list the condo for substantially less than I thought it was worth (based on what they perceived as comps, but I didn't) - which I took as an attempt to churn clients and just get deals closed. At all times, Jon simply provided information about the market but deferred to me on price and understood that he is there to assist the process, not commandeer it. He is genuinely looking to make his clients happy, not just turn properties. That is what sets Jon apart in my mind. Long story short, he sold my condo for my original asking price without ever listing it on MLS. Through his network of realtors, he found several potential buyers that viewed the condo when they were making their downtown rounds with those realtors. They viewed it several weeks before I had planned to put it on the market - I was in no rush and still trying to determine whether my asking price was too high. The ultimate selling price was substantially more than what other realtors told me would be the maximum I could expect in this market. We then looked all over Austin at about 30 houses until we narrowed down the neighborhoods to South Austin. Jon was surprisingly informed about every neighborhood we searched - Allandale, Rosedale, Cat Mountain, Tarrytown, Westlake Hills, Barton Hills, Bouldin Creek, Travis Heights, etc. And he was happy to show and tell me everything he knows about all of them. I was not an \"easy\" client, but Jon was genuinely happy to assist with the entire process - even reassuring me that he was willing to continue looking at houses as long as it took for me to be confident in the neighborhood and type/size/age of the house. At all times, Jon really listened to what I was looking for in a house and helped steer me to the right neighborhood and price range and away from houses that had latent issues that my untrained eye would not have caught. Once we were honed in on the neighborhood, Jon did a ton of analysis of neighborhood trends - down to the point of visiting possible comps to get a sense of how they compare to houses I was interested in, running analyses of 3-, 5-, and 10-year trends, and then narrowing those analyses to exclude houses that only appeared to be comps on paper. He sent various types of market analyses so I could see for myself what the neighborhood was doing and identify nuances in different pockets within a neighborhood. Over the course of about three months, I felt I learned relevant trends in my top neighborhoods and had a good sense of a reasonable range of total price and price per square foot (the two metrics I ended up focusing on to assess value). Again, Jon went above and beyond to educate me to ensure that I was confident in whatever offer I chose to make. In the end, Jon found my house through his personal network. We ended up buying a house that, like the condo, never officially hit the market. We were able to find an amazing house for a great value without rushing to make an offer to beat other buyers. I was confident in the original offer, and we came up with a negotiation strategy that resulted in a final sales price that is objectively fair but less than the personal value I attached to the home. My experience could not have been better or easier. The fact that Jon found the house, and buyers for the condo, outside of MLS would have been enough to make the process an extremely positive experience, but Jon's dedication to really getting to know his clients and ensuring that they are educated buyers and sellers put him over the top. I will definitely work with Jon next time I sell or purchase real estate, and I will continue to recommend him to everyone I know." - Joey G.

★★★★★
"My wife and I worked with Jon when we were deciding to move to Austin and weren't sure if we wanted to buy a home or rent a downtown condo. Jon's knowledge of the nearby downtown communities, as well as his specialty in the downtown condo market, made the process efficient for us to narrow down our choices. When we decided that we wanted to either be downtown or in SOCO, Jon's knowledge of downtown living was impressive. He could share the granular detail of each property that helped narrow our choices down and the decision was easy. We couldn't be happier with where we are living and if you want a hard working specialist in downtown living, Jon would be our recommendation." - Ken N.

★★★★★
"Jon has been helping my husband and I find the perfect home. He is SO patient and knowledgeable. We are a bit slow in our decisions and Jon has not put any pressure on us and has been very helpful. I also have no problems contacting him when I have questions or concerns. After a previously bad realtor experience, my husband and I feel so lucky to have found Jon." - Elisabeth A.

★★★★★
" My wife and I just bought our first house! We used Jon as our realtor and really feel fortunate to have worked with him. He was very thorough, knowledgeable, and patient. He made the process much less daunting than we anticipated. He answered every question we had throughout the entire deal and has continued helping us after the purchase. Jon was very patient with us and never pushed for us to like a particular home. He was always very easy to get in touch with and very responsive in showing us properties. Jon doesn't disappear once the deal is over with. He has continued helping us with paperwork and has recommended other quality professionals to use every time we have asked for a lender, contractor, or engineer. We will definitely recommend Jon to any friends looking to buy or sell a property in Austin. " - Corey P.

★★★★★
"Thanks to Jon I found and bought my first home. He was absolutely wonderful to me during the whole experience. He helped me understand everything with the whole process. He also helped me be realistic with what I needed and wanted. He was super honest and up front about anything and everything. He made the home buying process way less scary and made me feel secure. Dude, you rock! I have been in my home for almost one year now. I love it more and more every day. Thank you for helping me achieve my goal of buying my first home!" - Ashley G.

"Jon is the first realtor we have ever worked with, this being our first home purchase. We were so pleased with the personal attention and guidance we received from him throughout the confusing and daunting process of finding an affordable home in Austin, TX! His services and expertise were worth it! He kept our interests in mind the whole time, and looked out for our purchase as an investment in our future, and an emotional decision as well. He was constantly available by phone or text, willing to meet us in a timely fashion, and he even did property scouting for us in our absentia (we were house hunting while living out of town). He was knowledgeable about the home inspection process, and during showings was able to point out structural flaws in homes we saw, and warn us away from them. Jon is an experienced home buyer and realtor, and I would refer him in full confidence to all my friends and family! We have now owned our home for a year, and are incredibly happy with the purchase. I know if any crazy questions come up regarding warranties or tax forms, Jon will get right back to me with the answers!" - Shawna M.
