Justin is, without question, the best realtor we've ever worked with. He was recommended to us by mom, who sung his praises, and now we understand why! He's honest, knows his stuff, and always keeps you in the loop.We'd use him again in a heartbeat and would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell.
A great listener. Shortly after we started looking at houses, Justin had a very good idea of what we were looking for and the things that, to us, we wanted to stay clear of. When it came to getting things taken care of in our new place, he has the knowledge and contacts to make things happen quickly and correctly. We highly recommend Justin for anyone looking for a home in Ashland.
Was so helpful throughout the process of selling our home. Justin was able to recommend professionals for issues that came up on inspection and was quick to respond on any and all issues we needed to discuss. 100% satisfaction!
I was looking for the right words to use in this commentary, but there are no words, sentences, or paragraphs to describe what this gentleman and his company did for us. Handling a real estate transaction can be difficult, compound that with 2400-miles separating the buyers and sellers and it becomes an almost impossible task that looked like it was never going to finish. With obstacles that seemed to manifest themselves daily, Justin Donovan kept everyone focused and his eyes on the deadlines. He made things happen and kept everyone apprised of activity and requirements. His professionalism and connections to all kinds of services made our transaction positive and possible. This is the guy you want in your corner. I guess I did find the words I wanted to use. Connect with Justin and see what words you come up with.
We cannot recommend Justin Donovan highly enough. It was a pleasure to work with him. Beyond being a consummate professional, Justin can be counted on to adroitly navigate all phases of the transaction. His long term knowledge and experience of the Ashland real estate market are an invaluable resource. A person of genuine integrity, his first concern is the best interest of his clients. Amazingly responsive and responsible, he will make sure no stone is left unturned from the initial discussion to the close. If you ae looking for a realtor in Southern Oregon, Justin is the best.
Justin brought us three offers in a month in a challenging market, whereas a former realtor didnt bring any offers in a hot market (6 months). He is a great communicator and responds quickly to questions. Justin is the best choice to sell your home in Ashland and the Rogue Valley. The house has new owners, and my husband and I couldnt be happier! Thank you Justin Donovan...
Everything from determining the asking price of the property, to managing multiple offers, to the closing went smoothly. Justin is knowledgeable, professional and "no nonsense".
I've had Justin help me with two real estate transactions over the past year. He is knowledgeable, available, hard-working, and truly caring. He's an Ashland native who knows the Rogue Valley market well. I strongly recommend him!
Justin was our realtor on a previous property and we enjoyed working with him. Justin took time the understand what we were looking for and did not waist our time showing us properties that did not fit our criteria.
Justin helped us buy a home in Ashland during the COVID-19 Pandemic. He was very knowledgeable about the area and helped us negotiate with the sellers and arrange for needed repairs. Justin made buying a house at a distance easier during a very difficult time.
Justin, and his wife and partner Michaela as well, was amazing. Super helpful, prompt and efficient. Gave great advice and managed everything very well - I was selling remotely so Justin and Michaela needed to manage everything locally - arranging for cleaning/clearing of the property, getting bids for a paint job, recommending colors, etc.Could not have been better.
Justin proactively managed the entire process (inspections, financing, title, etc.). His foresight ensured potential issues did not materialize. Justin was extremely responsive from beginning to end. He even assisted with information post closing. We recommend Justin and would use him again!
As a seasoned realtor, Justin knows the southern Oregon market. We felt he always had our best interest at heart during the entire process as he communicated and advised us every step of the way. We highly recommend Justin and his team.
Justin is amazing and goes above and beyond for us and our family !! I dont know what we would have done without Justin! He was very knowledgeable, helpful, provided so many great resources and amazing support for our family We would highly recommend Justin!!
Justin exceeded high expectations at every stage of his representation of our interests. He and his team were knowledgeable, responsive, professional and polite at all times. We have worked with other realtors but there are none wed rather work with again.
Justin Donovan is in a class by himself. He helped me buy the home in Ashland, taking care of everything while I was still living in southern California. Over the following four years, he helped me get every house issue taken care of. Now that it was time to sell this home, truly the house of my dreams, large windows overlooking the valley, hiking trails galore, and to move near my daughters, I had no doubt Justin would be the perfect realtor to sell my home. As usual, he went above and beyond, taking care of everything that needed to get done to the house, and find the right buyers. I can't recommend Justin highly enough. He made the process easy and beautiful and a celebration.
Justin was a pleasure to work with. We were not from the area. He was great about showing us around with an insider's understanding of Ashland and the surrounding area. There was absolutely no pressure. He is so knowledgable about the market and as a result, our home purchase was a lovely, easy experience. We wouldn't consider working with anyone else.
I found that he really doesn't look out for the sellers interest... There are several points to this.... One of the main ones is that when an offer was put onto the table he instantly shot back that he wanted to raise his commission by 3/4 percent... stating that there was going to be all this extra work involved when there really wasn't any extra work he needed to do...I didn't really think about it when I agreed but that's several thousand dollars...but since I had irrationally agreed I was locked in...when the seller countered I saw an opportunity to resolve that bogus extra charge..However Justin didn't initially was to relent and because of his greed he was jeopardizing the sale....
Justin was a joy to work with. We started looking for houses with Justin almost a year before we ended up buying one. He was patient, took the time to figure out what we were looking for, walked us through a long contingency on our sale, and ultimately picked out the house we bought. As we were nearing the end of our contingency deal he messaged us and said, "I think you'll want to see this one as soon as possible." Boy, was he right! Justin is super knowledgeable and fun to look at houses with. This is a two-thumbs up, five star, high five, super promoter review!!!
Justin was great. He listened to us and helped us find exactly what we were looking for. He was also quick to respond to any of our questions or concerns. I would definitely recommend him and use him again if we decide to buy another home.
We spent a lot of time researching for a realtor when making the decision to move and that research lead us to Ashland Homes Real Estate and Justin Donovan. The reviews set our expectations high and Justin exceeded them at every step of the process. As we were moving from out of state and could not always be around for every step, Justin handled everything for us such as being there for the inspections to communicating with the city. He even took the time to send us a picture of our house on a day that it snowed so that we could see it! These little things showed us the level of care that he has for his clients. Justin is professional, personable and knowledgeable. He made the long days of looking for houses fun and enjoyable. His communication with us was outstanding and we were never left without a response to any of our questions or concerns. Justin continued to support us and be an asset to us even after we had closed and an unexpected issue arouse which he handled immediately. He went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied. We would recommend Justin to anyone looking for a realtor. The level of service provided by Justin and Ashland Homes Real Estate is exceptional.
Justin is the perfect blend of calm and efficiency, just what we needed during a somewhat difficult and emotional time of major life transitions. He has deep roots in the community, is very knowledgeable of the local real estate market and industry practices, and is also thorough, patient, thoughtful, prompt and responsive.
Justin was knowledgeable, calm, willing to patient with all of our questions. He helped us through all of the steps of the process including pushing our bank when we were having problems with them being slow with the financing. He gave his honest opinions, but was willing to work to find what we were looking for.
Justin took care of the sale of my house with complete care and professionalism. He sold the house much more quickly than I expected and with no problems. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
We can not speak highly enough about Justin and the fantastic job he did selling our house. We are out of town sellers, and Justin took charge, taking care of every detail. His advise was spot on, and he made what is normally a stressful process, painless! If you are looking for an agent who is knowledgeable and professional, with attention to detail look no further!
From beginning to end, Justin was not only professional but a class act. Our listing was presented beautifully! We happened to be both buying and selling houses simultaneously and got pretty stressed at times. Justin was always calm and collected. When we had difficulty finding maintenance professionals for the 'repair addendum,' he responded with qualified people and even made some phone calls on our behalf. He was always knowledgable and on point with everything, and he addressed all of our questions, big and small. We would recommend Justin to anyone, it really doesn't get better than him!
Justin is responsive, proactive, professional, resourceful, and knowledgeable. He focuses on relationships and a successful transaction. He has great skills and empathy, making the process as painless as possible. We worked with him on two deals - a purchase and a sale and he did a great job on both.
Justin was very helpful in determining an asking price for our home. He was attentive to our requirements during the selling process, Kept us informed of the status of our sale. He was able to obtain a buyer very quickly at the full asking price. He is very easy to work with.
The only way to describe the experience I had with Justin, was as if my best friend was my realitor. From the beginning he wanted to understand my most complex needs and requirements. And as I evolved in the specifics of my search, so did he. When he found the house that I now call a home, he brought me into it just as excited as I was. After that, the process of escrow and all the complications that come with that were a breeze with him as a team mate. You could not get a better agent in this valley.
Justin sold my condo in Ashland, OR. I had interviewed three potential agents, all of whom I liked. In the end, I chose Justin because of his thoughtful demeanor and ability to listen. As the process unfolded, I found I needed two things in particular from him: 1) to calm me down when I was anxious about whatever was or was not happening, which he was able to do with his calm attitude as well as advice based on lots of experience, and 2) to communicate more often even if nothing was happening. This I had to ask for, but once he knew what it needed, he complied. Justin is always professional in the way he looks and acts, so you can be assured that he will represent you in the most professional manner. He is very likable and easy going, while being on top of all the details. All of your docs can be handled electronically, which meant I could sign things while away on business. I wouldnt use an agent who didnt have this capability. I highly recommend Justin and I know you will be happy to have him represent you.
Justin Donovan did an amazing job helping us buy a house in Ashland. His deep knowledge, not just of the real estate market, but of the people and places in the Rogue Valley was invaluable to us coming from outside the area.There were a couple potential issues that came up in the negotiation. Justin was ever calm and always focused on his customer, he headed off problems and kept everything on track.Justin is just such a nice guy who is very pleasant to be around. His professional skills though - we can't thank him enough for those!
Justin Donovan is a professional in every sense of the word. My husband and I have bought and sold 8 homes / properties between us. We agree that Justin made the buying of a recent home in Ashland, Oregon the best real estate experience yet. His expertise at every turn, even temperament, sense of humor and deep knowledge of the region and market allowed us to thoroughly enjoy the process. We looked forward to each outing with Justin as he took ample time to share local history, changing trends and helpful recommendations such as where to eat, shop, play etc. He always advised us in a respectful way that made room for us to be ourselves, express our likes and dislikes - which often differed between my husband and I - so that we never felt pressured in anyway, in fact quite the opposite. We will miss looking at homes with Justin, but grateful to have met him and to now own our dream home in Ashland.
I wasnt looking forward to selling my home aEUR" to the lack of privacy or the inconvenience to myself and my tenant. But Justin Donovan at Ashland Homes made the experience painless. From our first meeting, I was convinced that this realtor was truly working on my behalf. He answered my concerns in a straightforward way. He was patient, highly available, and proactive about obtaining county records and other pertinent information. Justin combines a deep understanding of the Ashland real estate market with an honest interest in people. He went the extra mile to get me the best price possible for my home aEUR" all the time demonstrating sincerity and real consideration for me, my tenant, other realtors and clients. He collaborated with other highly respected realtors to sell my home quickly and at an excellent price. Over the course of our brief acquaintance, I gained great respect for Justin and learned to trust his advice. I recommend him to anyone who wants to buy or sell a home in Ashland, Oregon.
Justin was outstanding to work with on the sale of our home. He was always responsive and always provided fair and honest advice. He has extensive knowledge of Southern Oregon and what is going on in the marketplace. We appreciated his hard work and his attention to our listing.
Justin Donovan is terrific! In our case, we were looking to move to Ashland from another state and we were far enough away that we needed a buyers' agent who clearly understood what we were looking for. We had one visit in April at which time Justin showed us some houses and further refined the goal. We had a moving deadline of early July. He got a hot lead on a house not yet on the market and got us the first look on the place in June. We made an offer the same day and closed a month later. Justin found us the perfect property at a very fair price. He is a true professional who we do not hesitate to recommend to a buyer or seller. Justin makes it happen!
I was moving to Ashland, OR, and planning to buy a home. Justin Donavan was highly recommended as the one of the best realtors in Ashland. Justin and I worked together way before I left my home in Colorado. By the time I arrived in Ashland it was but a few weeks before we found the perfect house and we closed 30 days later! Justin leads the way with a calm demeanor but with tons of energy and expertise! As a realtor, he is on top of the game at every step, incredibly reliable as well as thorough. In addition, Justin is a terrific resource for newbies to town. He cares about his clients and it shows brilliantly through his actions. One of the nicest things he told me when he gave me the keys is that our friendship does not end with the move in! He has since helped and supported me with the various demands of relocating always with graciousness. I highly recommend him and will be doing so with others moving to the area.
Justin was great to work with when looking for our home. He is laid back and relaxed, which makes it easy to look at houses and form our own opinions of them. He was knowledgable of the different areas and the current market; helping us make an informed decision and appropriate offer. During negations, he was persistent enough to get us a great deal. I'd recommend him to anyone buying a house in this area.
Justin Donovan is an extraordinary realtor. In our case he was tasked with a lot in a very short time and he performed masterfully. He has a deep understanding of his community and its real estate market, and just as important, he negotiated professionally and effectively, while communicating with us in a timely and thoughtful manner. We needed him to orient us to a new community and the real estate market in that community, in a very short, think weeks, time span. He not only spent a lot of time with us in person, but extensive time giving us needed information via e-mails and online links. His understanding of his real estate market also allowed him to make suggestions that in the end were highly beneficial. At the end of the short but intense process, we felt we had a very good frame of reference with which to make our decisions. We feel we could not have been in better hands.
Mr. Donovan did a wonderful job listing the property by taking beautiful photographs to being patient throughout the marketing process. He consistently worked hard to answer questions promptly, was quick to resolve concerns, and has an excellent work ethic. He went above and beyond to help with issues so I would not have that burden. I recommend Mr. Donovan highly to future buyers or sellers.
After a failed experience with another Ashland company that put us in a situation that left us 30 days to find our dream home and move in, Justin and his family, found our home and got us closed in under 30 days. We had to move ASAP and he did everything in his power to make this move smooth and successful. We were so grateful and highly recommend him to anyone we know moving to Ashland or Jackson County. Thanks Justin!
Justin was very responsive and helpful through out the process. He understood our needs and was able to help us through this out of state purchase. Highly recommend him as a realtor of choice for Ashland, OR.
Justin is very low key and never exerts any pressure. He was always willing to go with my decisions, but supplied me with accurate information to base them on. His expertise was superb and customer service excellent. He supplied all the resources I needed to market a large and difficult property. I will highly recommend him to neighbors who are thinking of selling.
It's difficult to enumerate all of the extra things that Justin did to help in our move to Ashland. Without his advice and guidance, we would not have found our fantastic new home here. Beyond his always-professional manner throughout the long distance search, home tours, offer, negotiation and closing, Justin has introduced us to several excellent services and artisan/tradesmen who have put the finishing touches on the house. We are glad to be here and settling in to a new neighborhood. Justin is a good listener and is always patient and communicative while attending to details of all kinds. The process has been made smoother at every phase by our new friend at Ashland Homes Realty and we are very pleased to recommend Justin Donovan to you without reservation.
He really knows the market and has an outstanding ability to connect with clients and really find what they are looking for. Highest praise for him and his company!
Justin helped me buy a home in Talent recently and get it at a good price. The whole process went smoothly and quickly and he stayed in communication to make sure things were taken care of on time. He also sold a home for me in Ashland two years ago, so I learned then that he is a conscientious, trustworthy agent who cares about his clients. I would definitely choose his services again for my real estate needs.
#2 Review: See below for Review #1: Do to a life event, I made a decision to sell the home we purchased a couple of years ago, and once again decided to work with Justin who helped us before. No different than the first experience, it was an easy process. Justin is one of the best. All details were managed beyond expectation. We determined the right price given the current market conditions and had offer's day 1. And importantly together we considered the value of each offer and how best to write the counter offer. Within 2 weeks, we were in escrow at full price. I purchased a new home prior to selling, however I was confident from the outset that Justin would make certain I accomplished my goals - we did, and closed both properties on the same day in less than a month. I highly recommend the Justin. #1 Review: In our 60's, my wife and I have purchased many properties over the years, along with the standard array of life experiences both business and personal. In July last year, when we decided to move back to Southern Oregon (visitors for 27 years, residents of Ashland 2003-07), I emailed Justin to ask about rental properties. He quickly responded with a list of the best property managers in the area - all of those covering Ashland to Jacksonville and Medford. There was one other exchange and he made a very positive impression. We found a property on our own, signed a year lease. In December 6 months into the lease, we decided to buy, which came sooner than expected.With that decision, we decided to call Justin. We presented Justin with 3 Ashland properties we were interested in touring. At the first property meeting, he conducted a thoughtful interview. He genuinely wanted to know what we wanted to purchase from size of home to location. As we continued to look at individual homes, we all got to know each other better. All important. Finding a home would be the easy part. Finding the right individual to represent us in the negotiation process was critical. Justin truly proved himself to be that person. He didn't rush when we looked at each property. He asked the right questions, why do you and don't you like this property etc. He wasn't in for a quick sale. We found a home within a few weeks (frankly not rushing). It was the right home for us and in Medford. Even though we started the process with Ashland in mind, we remained open to all areas. Justin conducted the negotiation extremely well, including a long close, which helped us run most of our lease to term. If I were you, I would meet with Justin and determine if he is right for you. I would wage a bet to say he is. He is a high integrity man, very thoughtful, has a wonderful family that is involved in the business from his Mother and wife to his brother. Good luck I am sure you will find the right home for you.PS even after the purchase, Justin is still helping us find professionals work on the house.

Justin made purchasing a home in Oregon from out-of-state easy. We flew into town and Justin was able to free up his time to show us homes for the few days that we were there. We found the perfect home to retire to. We were worried about taking care of all the details from so far away, but there was no problem because Justin stepped in to set up and attend all inspections and walk-throughs. He went above and beyond. This is the 4th home we have purchased over the years and never experienced this kind of service. We enjoyed all of the time we spent with Justin and he made a stressful situation much easier. Highly recommend!
This guy's the real deal. He understood all the nuances of what I was looking for, and helped guide me to the right property purchase. He's patient, friendly, knowledgeable, and, perhaps most important of all, responsive. We were able to "get down to business" and not waste any time. The process was great: I highly recommend Justin Donovan!
Justin is absolutely fantastic! He found exactly what we were looking and walked us step by step through the whole process. I would recommend Justin's services.
