It's a difficult task to sum up the immense value that was added to our home buying process by having Jon work on our behalf. We started working with Jon eleven months before closing on our home. Four of those months were prior to our move to Santa Barbara. During the entire experience, Jon treated us as valued clients. He was always willing to discuss potential opportunities and he never hesitated to give us his candid advice (which ultimately always ended up being spot on). During our eleven month process we submitted offers on several homes, went into escrow twice and in the end we got our dream home atop the Mesa. Throughout the process we enjoyed getting to know Jon and consider him an invaluable friend that helped us learn the ropes around SB and settle into our Riviera rental once we arrived in town. From helping us line up swim lessons for our son to showing us some of the best eateries and entertainment venues around town, Jon was and still is our first call for any and all information on the Santa Barbara area.

In regards to negotiating our successful purchase, Jon’s knowledge/experience and his confident recommendations helped us to make decisions that ultimately awarded us a beautiful home in one of the most competitive and sought after areas of Santa Barbara. In escrow Jon’s long rolodex of service providers, inspectors and contractors kept us moving along swiftly, achieving our 30 day close which I would have thought impossible when we first went under contract. I can say with confidence if it wasn’t for Jon along with Sergey and all they have done and continue to help us with we most likely would still be renting and would probably be renting for the foreseeable future. Jon and his team helped us scale what seemed like an insurmountable task of buying a home in the Santa Barbara market and I am confident in my recommendation that he is the best choice in town for helping others achieve their home buying goals as well.

Jon Mahoney is that special realtor who goes above and beyond expectations.

Jon represented us when my wife and I listed our SB house for sale in 2020. We had done very little work on the property since we moved in 19 years before. Jon helped us to identify and resolve the repairs and improvements that would support a higher selling price. He recommended subcontractors and even supervised them on our behalf. Midway through the process, we decided we didn't want to spend time and money on cosmetic alterations, which we figured would likely be redone by the next owner, so we pivoted and asked Jon to find us a buyer for the property "as-is".

Once again, Jon rose to the occasion and matched our property with a buyer who preferred to make those improvements himself. We closed quickly and remain grateful to Jon for kindly and professionally supporting us through the entire transaction.

We recommend Jon Mahoney to anyone seeking representation on either side of a real estate transaction.
