Review for Member: Jon DeForest
ZillowVERIFIEDAs a first time home buyer, learning the ropes is no easy task. I was glad to have Jon on my side helping my wife and I learn the difficult process of home buying. His savvy home purchase guidance landed us our first house in a time where buying property is at its most difficult given current market conditions. His easy going personality and expertise in home buying negotiations makes him an obvious recommendation from me.

ZillowVERIFIED We signed Jon as our agent to sell our home. My wife and I found Jon to be very professional and knowledgeable. He didn't mind coordinating the things that were important to selling our home like staging, repairs, and meeting with the appraiser and home inspector on our behalf. I can appreciate and agent that doesn't mind handling those types of matters when I was to busy to handle them myself. I also think Jon did a good job at handling the stress that was involved when I'm sure he didn't agree with some of my decisions. Even though my wife and I weren't selling an expensive property, Jon treated the transaction as if it were a million dollar transaction. Great job Jon. Duke and Felicia

ZillowVERIFIED We met Jon after we had already had a few bad experiences with other agents, so needless to say we were probably more difficult because of it. We were also buying a home in an area that was unfamiliar to us so it was very important to us that the agent be intimately familiar with the area. Jon was everything we were looking for and helped us by not only our first home but he found our dream home. Thank you

ZillowVERIFIED My husband and I are incredibly happy with the relationship and partnership we were able to build with Jon from day one. He listened to our needs, helped guide us in terms of ways to approach our initial home search and scheduled time to meet at us locations that we were serious about bidding on. Jon is the full package. He was able to identify potential issues with houses - from wood rot to roof repairs. When it came to building competitive offers, we never felt pressured. If anything, Jon was the voice of reason, reminding us that we had to feel confident and in control of our choices. But he also knows the market inside and out and when we were to make it happen, we won the bid on a house that had 47 offers!

ZillowVERIFIED Jon recently helped us purchase our first home. From the moment we met him one thing that stood out immediately was his responsiveness to emails, calls or texts. As first time home buyers, having someone that could guide us through the process and provide us the information we needed was crucial. Understanding how to make an offer in this crazy real estate market is vital and Jon helped us every step of the way. He was always willing to go look at houses, came prepared, was on time, and provided his personal knowledge of the area. Jon is both professional and down to earth, which really matched our own style and personality. Thanks again for helping us buy our first home!

ZillowVERIFIED Jon, was more than amazing and Jon is an UNFORGETTABLE Real Estate Broker!!! From the start of this process, Jon showed up before the scheduled time to ALL appointments/meetings/showings and open houses!! Jon is beyond honest, down to earth, kind, and willing to listen to ALL needs and wants! I am one that only works with Brokers (Yes there is a difference from a Broker and an Agent... A broker is a leader in my eyes and more crafted in the work!!) Jon is more than professional, hard working, direct, humble and he really is a GREAT and DYNAMIC broker! Working with Jon, you feel as if you are working with a family member and not just a broker, I am telling you! Jon made this process for my better-half and I a MUCH better process and experience that we DID NOT GAIN from the previous real estate agent that we worked with. The Agent before RUSHED and threw us into a home, she was curt, only wanted money and lacked professionalism.... ONLY work with Broker, Jon DeForest because he is a man of his word, he is prompt, Jon has the art of listening to his clients!!!! Jon is going to get the job done and Jon gave us a COMFORT that we have NEVER had with ANY other Real Estate Professional that we have worked with in the past!! Jon more than understands the importance of customer services because he returns emails, phone calls, he is one that makes sure you understand the real estate process and his fashion of work from start to finish. Also, Jon is NOT one to throw you away after the work is completed and after he has gained his commission, like other so-called...money hungry Real Estate Professionals that are out there! People, if you are someone that reads reviews as the bible, as I am, PLEASE READ THIS, TRUST my REVIEW and ONLY work with Jon!!!!!!!!!!!!! The day that Jon DeForest retires as a Real Estate Broker is the day that Real Estate will NOT be the same!!!!!!!!

ZillowVERIFIED Jon provided an excellent overall customer experience in helping me buy my second home. What stood out to me was his attention to detail and his knowledge of real estate overall. This wasnt my first rodeo but it was the first time my agent had anticipated my questions and needs during the process. Real estate transactions can be a stressful en devour and having someone to calm the storm and guide the ship is invaluable. Jon has my highest recommendation for all of your real estate needs.

ZillowVERIFIED I just completed a home purchase in the East Bay with Jon DeForest as my realtor. The entire process was about three months from first contact with Jon to success and I doubt that I would have been successful were it not for Jon and his application of his significant skill and attention to detail. I am sure that I was not the easiest client but Jon repeatedly remained professional even while I was freaking out. He went out of his way to explain the nuances of the entire bidding and buying process so that there were no surprises. I would not hesitate to recommend Jon to anyone who asked and will actively do so with my acquaintances who want expertise in the home buying or selling process. Tim Hale

ZillowVERIFIED I am especially proud to have worked with Jon DeForest as my Realtor. I was very impressed with his extreme knowledge of the real estate business. He is always very professional as well as exceptionally hard working. I appreciated that he continually kept me updated and informed as we went along.

It was an enlightening experience and I would recommend Jon DeForest to anyone looking for a great Realtor. I am certainly going to use his services again. I think you would be as pleased and as thrilled as I am. Deborah Trevethan

ZillowVERIFIED I had a very good experience with Jon. We started looking for homes in Oakland over a year ago and finally closed on a home in Stockton in early December 2014. Jon was very patient with me. He would drive out to Stockton every week sometimes twice a week to show me properties. Jon is a very dedicated person who takes a lot of pride in his job, he is highly educated in not only real estate but in all other aspects of the real estate market such as financing a home, escrow management and most legal issues. I would highly recommend Jon.

ZillowVERIFIED Jon is currently and will always be my go to Real estate professional. He is the kind of person that you want advising you when making a purchase or sale of this size. He is honest, intelligent and he has always been very focused on getting me the most bang for my buck. I have been working with Jon for over ten years. He has been my agent during the purchase and the sale of 11 properties over those years. Each of those transactions went incredibly smooth, due in large part to, Jon and his ethical and diligent representation. I have always been impressed by how detail oriented he is. Jon really knows his stuff!!! Years ago, Jon also did a few mortgage refinance/loans for me during his early days as mortgage broker. This experience makes Jon incredibly well versed in ALL aspects of a real estate transaction. He is always watching to make sure that if there are any mistakes or oversights, by the other parties involved, they are caught and corrected immediately. This guy is trustworthy and has always done right by me. I will continue to use him for all of my future deals.Thanks Jon!!!

ZillowVERIFIED I've worked with Jon several times. He refinanced my home in 2006, and I found him to be very professional, knowledgeable and helpful during the process. I recently used him to sell my condo, and was very pleased as there were a few hiccups with the buyer's realtor, and Jon stepped in, renegotiated the contract in terms favorable to me, and successfully sold my home. It was in contract 2 weeks after I listed it, and I had several offers, and Jon helped me with the process so I could accept the best offer! I highly recommend Jon!
