What Agent Jon's Clients Say
As a long time mortgage banker in San Diego I've had the pleasure of working with many fine realtors and I can tell you that Jon is among the best.
He did an excellent job of walking us through the home buying process and making sure he understood our needs from the very beginning.
Jon's motto is "Your home. Discovered.," and it fits. His goal was not to make the sale, but to truly help me discover just the right home.
