I'd recommend him to anyone looking to buy.
Jon helped my husband and I buy our first home back in 2017. We were very new to the area, new to the process of buying a home, and we were so grateful that we had Jon to help us navigate this process. Jon helped us get started even before we had relocated - conducting our very first home tour by FaceTime. He is exceptionally knowledgeable, very responsive, and a pleasure to work with. If not for Jon's negotiation savvy, I am certain that we would have been outbid on our house. Jon had very wisely suggested that we use an escalation clause (which we had never heard of before), and it was this clause that allowed us to be successful in our bid without drastically overpaying for the home. We love our home and hope to never move, but if we do we will be calling Jon Brouse!
I'm sure all buyers have their own unique issues; ours was that we were in a bit of a rush both due to market conditions and, more importantly, to the fact that we were preparing to start a family here. Jon helped us immensely with taking a big step in our lives, especially in the time he spent taking us to as many showings as possible in a short weekend. He gave us good advice and guidance as he prepared our offers, and further through the process of inspections and closing. And he was quite proactive in communicating with us and other agents as needed. I'm not sure our purchase would have gone as smoothly, or at all, if we were working with someone else.
He is phenomenal when it comes to communication and negotiations. He is the best. We wish him all success in the years to come.
What stood out immediately was that Jon listened to what we had in mind for a new home and the "must haves" we wanted. He looked intently for properties in the areas we selected and we visited many of them. We were fortunate enough to see a condo that is now our home! Jon found this property in an area we didn't think about. He worked in coordination with the seller and her agent to make the purchase happen to the satisfaction of everyone involved! We would highly recommend Jon to our family and friends ... and anyone who asked if we know a realtor! Larry & Cindy Barnes
Once we found a home and put in our offer he was right there helping with the final negotiations and the final settlement process
He was always quick to respond and in general was a pleasure to work with. He was also great at helping us (as first time homeowners) understand the home buying process. I felt very confident when Jon helped us build our offer that we were getting the best possible deal while still being competitive. He explained the several different negotiation tactics we could employ and his comp report was totally accurate. Highly recommend!
I can’t recommend him enough. He kept us informed throughout the entire process and made everything as smooth as possible.
He made sure to listen to our input every step of the way and guide us to the best opportunities that took them into account. Jon kept constant communication and was very polite. His knowledge on the housing market really helped us finalize our sale. He was very quick and did a great job negotiating. Not only did he help us, but he was able to help my grandparents get their house sold quick. It was a pleasure having Jon help us!
He negotiated a complicated deal involving a 203 k home loan renovation. Would recommend
He went above and beyond to ensure we were happy with the house we bought and followed up with us to see how we were doing in the new home.
He is very knowledgeable and answered our questions promptly so it made the overall process a lot easier for us first time buyers. Will definitely not hesitate working with him again in the future.
If you want to work with someone who is responsive including over evenings and weekends, who is knowledgeable and experienced, and who is ready get your deal done, look no further my friends.
Jon guided us every step of the way, answering all of our questions with his broad knowledge of everything from mortgages to inspections. Jon always went above and beyond, working around the clock to book viewings and make offers lightning-quick so that our dreams could become reality. We found our home, and thanks to Jon, we have great memories attached to the buying process! If you are looking to buy or sell a home, you won’t find anyone better! David and Mariya S.
He knows Philly and the surrounding areas very well. I highly recommend him. You need an agent like him in today's difficult housing market.
He responded in a timely manner and was always there to answer any questions we had ! I would definitely recommend
He is friendly, easily approachable, and always available even on weekends. Would never hesitate to explain things as clearly as possible and repeatedly - and we definitely had so many questions as a first time home buyers! My husband and I greatly appreciated the opportunity to work with such a kind, patient, and wonderful person such as Jon. It felt like a friend was helping us every step of the way through the complicated process of the finding and closing our home purchase deal. Thank you for all of your help, Jon!
He was incredibly responsive to my many questions. When challenges arose, he stayed calm and focused on finding the best possible solution. His knowledge, professionalism, and willingness to go the extra mile made everything much less stressful. I always felt informed and supported, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor.
As first time home buyers, we had a fair amount of questions and Jon was able to walk us through the entire process. He was always responsive - including emailing me back about the seller’s agent’s lockbox a full month after we closed!
He went above and beyond to make every step easy for me as a first time buyer. I’d recommend him to anyone!
