I was 6 months pregnant (now 8) when I reached out to him to help sell my mother's home.. There were a few extra steps that needed to be done (city permit related), and Jon handled ALL with Simplicity and Ease.. atleast that's how I saw it, because he just handled it, without ever making me feel concerned.. We closed in a good time frame, and I feel we also got Top Dollar on the price! Jon and Kathy are very pleasant to work with, always happy, energetic and positive.. I am a first time mother, and outside of the selling process, they gave me such love and encouragement.. Jon and Kathy are definitely Heaven Sent, they genuinely love and want to help their clients be happy.. I felt this during the Entire process.. No stress at all.. Thank you so much Jon and Kathy!!! :)

They are very knowledgeable of the area, and they also live in Laguna Woods. My journey started back in June 2023 when I took the LW bus tour with some friends to see the entire community. The tour provided a general overview and impression of the community, the beautiful grounds and the amenities. The part that was missing from the LW bus tour was information about the business details, how it all worked and the next steps to learn about a property. The tour guide suggested that I find a relator to help me learn about the leasing and buying process. I found Jon and Kathy Wallin after reading their yelp reviews. I called Jon and he suggested I come for a visit. In September 2023, Jon and Kathy gave me a personal tour and showed me a few properties and the community. It provided a great opportunity to learn, ask questions about co-ops and the real estate process. I really enjoyed the tour and knew then I would seriously consider moving to Laguna Woods in 2024. Jon and Kathy kept in touch with me for the months after the tour to see if I needed anymore information during this time. June 2024, I decided to sell my home in Los Angeles and start planning a move to Laguna Woods. Jon and Kathy helped me find a place to rent for a 3 to 4 months while I looked for a place to buy. This proved to be a huge advantage to live there and learn about the different neighborhoods and look at properties. November 2024, I moved to a rental and started looking to buy. January 2024, I purchased a home and closed end of February Jon and Kathy were invaluable during the entire real estate transaction, inspection and HOA process to make this as seamless as possible. They are professional and so generous with their time, and I couldn't have navigated the process without all their support and kindness. I highly recommend Jon and Kathy Wallin to help you to find a home in Laguna Woods.

I explained that I had a distressed property that I needed to sell in Mission Viejo above the lake. Kathe understood where I was going with the sale and property and was quick to meet with me and quick to start bringing investors by to look at the property. Within days we had multiple cash offers and hit the "magic" number I needed for the sales price. The process was quick and Kathe made it so easy. She went above and beyond also checking on the vacant property when I wasn't in town. Kathe also helped me set up an estate sale at the property.

We started house hunting in September, and by the end of the month, we had found a new place we're proud to call home.
