ZillowVERIFIEDWhen searching for a reputable realtor, I reached out to a friend, who suggested a husband/wife team whom she admired. When she discovered that the team relocated to Florida, she contacted them for a realtor suggestion. They were quick to recommend Jonathan Carvallo. They were mentors to him in the past and highly recommended him. After contacting Jon, he came out to our house with a selling plan. He sold himself to us by explaining his high-level marketing strategy. He hired skilled photographers to capture the home with stunning photos. The sale of our home was advertised via social media, post card mailers to neighbors and beautiful print brochures. All these measures were taken to get the most foot traffic through our home. Jon helped us list our home at a fair price for our neighborhood and advised us as to the best ways to update the house for selling. After one day of an open house and another day of private showings, he was able to procure two very good offers, well above asking price. He sold our house 9 days after listing it! He even set a sales record on our street, being the realtor with the highest price sale per square foot! On the buying side, Jon was relentless in looking for a one-story home for us. Initially, we wanted to move to another area, but soon realized what Jon had explained to us all along--that that area would be out of our price range. He was very patient with us and never did we feel pressured by him, when viewing these homes. He encouraged us to take a look at this last home, ironically 10 minutes from our current home at the time, as it "checked off most of our boxes". We instantly fell in love with it! Jon was able to negotiate well, on our behalf; always advocating for our best interest, amid multiple offers on the home. Jon set us up with a very skilled and smart lender who worked tirelessly on our behalf. Jon's transaction coordinator was "on the ball" with emails to keep us updated at every point in the process. He recommended an outstanding attorney, who worked within our closing deadline. Since we agreed to a quick closing and things had to happen very quickly, Jon also gave us the names of a painter, a carpet store owner, a mover, and an insurance agent. These people went above and beyond to help us meet our deadline. We were very appreciative of Jon's personal list of professionals who we could contact, and we ultimately put our trust in them. Jon Carvallo is a knowledgeable, professional, friendly, trust-worthy licensed realtor who we highly recommend for your home buying and selling needs.
