Punchline: 12 months later, the house he helped us SELL is at the same value we sold it for; the house he helped us BUY has grown nearly 25% in value. Numbers don't lie.

Jonathan helped us with a looooong search for the "perfect home" for our family. We were (and are) very demanding - we had a very small "box" for the region we wanted to live, and very specific requirements for a house we could make our own. After several years on the hunt, Jonathan showed us the home we ultimately bought in Sunset Hill. Jonathan's integrity is beyond reproach - he always put "representing the client" above "making the sale," and did a great job helping us think through whether this was the right property, helping us negotiate the contract, and helping keep the seller on track so the deal closed smoothly and predictably - not always easy with our seller and the climate.

Jon also helped us SELL our previous home. He was rigorous in pushing us to get the staging EXACTLY right, finding the right forums to market the home, and, when the time came, queuing up the multiple offers and helping us close the deal in way that left both the buyer and us delighted. After the contract was signed, Jon guided us all the way through the closing process, ensuring everything went exactly right (we actually closed a few days early).

Two other quick points - Jon has kept with us after the sale, checking to make sure we remain satisfied and giving us updates on the valuation of our new home; and Jon is a significant philanthropic contributor, both a founder and supporter of non-profits. His integrity is more than "show."

Effective, honest, and thorough. I would not hesitate to use Jon in future transactions. (less)

We used Jonathan to help us sell our home in Edmonds last spring. He was so helpful and patient during the process. If you've ever sold a home before, you know there is a LOT of work involved to get that thing ready to sell. Jonathan was very helpful in guiding us through deciding what to fix/update/ clean,and what not to spend our time and money on. He was thoroughly knowledgeable about the current and local market to help us find the correct sale price (we sold it very close to what we listed it for) and what our likely customer would be (helping with both how to stage, what to price it at and how likely we were to get an offer quickly). He was encouraging to a fault and responded quickly to our many questions and concerns. I would give him six stars if I could. (less)
