Jon was a incredible resource and truly went above and beyond to ensure we got our dream house. We were first time home buyers, and had a slew of questions regarding the process, mortgages, pre-approval, etc. From day one, Jon was available to answer all of our questions, great with communicating and response time and incredibly knowledgable about each and every steps. Jon ended up having to do a walkthrough for us while we were out of town, leading us to put an offer in and eventually getting that same house. I would highly recommend Jon to anyone looking to buy a house in San Diego! read more

Since a sale and transfer was actually made, in all fairness I am going to add one extra star to Jon's review. Being very new to the home buying experience I made many mistakes in dealing with him, so if you are new to the home buying process or, you are experienced but don't want to work with someone who might take advantage given the chance, be careful! Details below, but to summarize my list of issues in dealing with Jon for those of you who would like to save some time: 1) Dishonesty/Deception 2) Lack of integrity/lacking in professionalism 3) Placing personal gain above his clients 4) Negligence Now to go over it all in a little more detail. This summer I purchased a condo through Jon, though I hope to eventually make money on this deal, the transaction itself has been fraught with financial perils. To point one, I have caught Jon in many demonstrable lies, from small things like lying that he wasn't responding to me related to issues because he had changed his phone number but then later talked to me from that same phone number. Those are small things that are annoying but are benign in comparison to the larger overarching dishonesties. Originally I had applied for this loan through Zillow and after consulting my lender he told me to apply for the property I was pre-approved for and wait for a Zillow realtor to contact me. Shortly I get a call from Jon, he shows me the property and uses a sense of urgency to get me to make an offer, while being very clear that if I make the offer I would forfeit the 1% he chooses to omit that by signing I would be forced to only work with him for 9 months and that he is not in fact affiliated with Zillow.Despite telling him several times about how excited I was about the $5,000 rebate, Jon never once disclosed that he isn't actually with Zillow and just stole a client from them. Fast Forward a little bit and my lender calls me to meet with the realtors, that is when I figured out something had gone wrong. The realtors from Zillow are quite aggravated that Jon had taken a client from them and explain that while this behavior is not illegal it is quite unethical. At this point I can still technically go through with my lender from Zillow and get the rebate and still go through Jon as the realtor, but now Jon starts playing hardball. He says that if I don't go through his lender he won't work with me because he doesn't believe that Zillow can close this transaction... yeah right.Interest rates are going up and I am locked in at a rate, my choices are to wait another year or say screw it and go through Jon and his lender and he knows it. Prior to agreeing to go through Jon, I made sure to get it in text from him to ensure that if I go through him and his lender there would be no added fees or cutback fees, then I would agree to go through him and forget about the $5,000 zillow lender's rebate in hopes of just making the transaction finish.Jon assures me there would be no irregular fees and that no issues would arise from his lender.Of course when the transaction was finished and I was reviewing the final paperwork there were of course a bunch of "Quick Closing Fees"&"Fast Closing Fees" for 700-900$, fees that all got bumped into my escrow account. Worse than that, I have been paying this lender UMW for my state taxes, and at the end of the year I get a letter saying that my taxes have been unpaid, that I am overdue and my property could get a lien on it. Of course I quickly double pay the taxes on my property that I already had paid for the year, after reaching out to Jon and his lender, still have been unable to get any of my money back that I double paid.. They just keep spinning their wheels and refusing to transfer it. Other than that lie, there were many others that also cost me financially.Before selling the property Jon had disclosed that there are going to be repairs done to the property but that it's no big deal because it's just an external project, they'll shut the water off for 1 day and just clean the pipes outside. When the time came around to do the project after the sale was over, I painfully found out that it was an internal project, that there would be a team of 5-8 workers coming in and cutting holes in my house. The holes still haven't been repaired because the company hired by the HOA to do the project went bankrupt even prior to the sale.They had shut off my water for 8-12 hours a day for 2.5-3 months and did heavy construction from inside. As someone who works from home and also had been renting a room in my apartment, this was very costly to me. I had to find new places to work and discount my roommates rent.Overall to describe why it sucked working with Jon is that he was very hands on to try to close the deal as quickly as possible, and then hands off when issues arose around things he had assured me would be fine. There were many other issues I tried to write in but they don't fit in the review.Attached Zillow lender/realtor can corroborate read more

Jon is an amazing real estate professional! He made buying our first home a breeze from negotiating with the seller to giving us invaluable guidance throughout the whole home buying process. The greatest thing about Jon is that he doesn't just want to get the sale and move onto the next client. He cares for, and goes all out for, his clients. He found us an amazing home, he aggressively negotiated with the seller which resulted in us receiving a ton of seller credits, and, when there was an issue with our home inspection and escrow, he got our home inspection comped because of his great relationship with the inspection company. Jon also has multiple connections for anything you will need as a homebuyer. He connected us with an amazing mortgage broker that made getting our loan as painless as possible. We also hired Jon's electrician who did great work at an even better price. Whatever you need, Jon knows someone experienced and reliable to get the job done. Overall, Jon is an amazing guy and we are so fortunate he was our real estate professional. If you are buying or selling a home, you need Jon Nguyen. read more

Jon found us the perfect home!! After 6 months of searching and a lot of frustration as a young couple without a ton of cash to put down up front in one of the most competitive markets AND the during the most competitive time, he was able to use his professional network and get us in to check out our now home before it was fully listed and we were able to snag it right away! We moved in less than a month later because of how quick and committed Jon is to making sure you get the absolute best shot.

Jon was great! Within a week of meeting him he provided staging advice, set up a photographer for our home, by day 5 listed our home, and before day 7 had multiples offers lined up. It only took one week to sell our home. Immediately after selling our home, Jon had multiple houses for us to see. He advised us throughout the process, was incredibly reliable and attentive to our future home and neighborhood expectations. It took 40 days to sell and buy a new home! read more

WOW! What an amazing experience it has been working with Jon! Not only did he find my dream condo on the first day looking, he found a mortgage program I qualified for (being self employed makes it a little tricky). Throughout the process he managed and proactively followed up on all aspects of the deal. I've also had the opportunity to witness Jon as a selling agent while attending several open houses. He is friendly, knowledgeable and strives to give 100% to his clients. I can't recommend Jon enough! read more

Thank you very much Melva and Jon for the outstanding effort in helping me sell my condo! Appreciate your patience and walk through of the process! We had offers within two weeks of putting on market. Only reason for delay in selling was due to buyer's lendor. Regardless, both of you were there guiding and helping the place look its best. We also were able to correct minor issues with the condo to ensure buyers were aware they were being taken care of. Appreciate the points of contact to assist in the repairs and decorating! Look forward to future opportunities! read more
