Not having sold a home in over 30 years, needless to say I was in the dark when it came time to sell my dad's home in today's market. Jon Long of Ardent Realty could see I was overwhelmed and took control of the situation. He advised, directed and helped me every step of the way. He was never unreachable for any questions or concerns and always responded right away or very soon after the same day. He advised us on a realistic pricing strategy to help entice buyers to look at us in a very competitive market in our area. His knowledge of real estate and the market's latest trends is amazing. Jon also took the time to help us choose the projects for improving the house and getting the best return. We did just as he instructed and we couldn't be happier with the results. Whether this is your first sale or you are experienced in selling homes, you can't go wrong letting Jon Long lead the way. read more

I sent many requests to Ardent Real Estate Group via email and on their website to remove my house pictures., They ignored my legal and simple requests. If a company can't honor this simple request that is clearly in violation of California state Privacy Act Law, Could You Trust to Let This Company to Handle Your Real Estate Transaction??? read more

This is the worst company, particularly when it comes to clients' and users' privacy. I sent many emails and messages to them requesting to remove the photos of my house and other information. But they do not respond to any emails or messages. Under California Consumer Privacy Act, they are required to delete our data, but they ignored all our requests and did not respond to any emails. I am not sure how a company like this can be trusted. They ignore all our emails despite the fact that our privacy is protected under the California Consumer Privacy Act. read more

Choosing Jon as our realtor was the best and wisest decision that we could have made. Jon made this home buying/selling experience surprisingly enjoyable! Giving the nature of the housing market, we were unsure if we should list our house or not. I emailed Jon initially with specific questions on our home value. Instead of e-mail, we had a face to face meeting at our home with Jon. He came prepared with a formal detailed report on our projected home value in the current market based on the recent sales in the surrounding area. He outlined his strategy to both sell our house and find our desired home simultaneously. Without any pressure, he left the decision entirely to us. With his friendly, open and honest approach, we felt completely at ease with proceeding with Jon as our realtor. With the strategy in place, everything went smoothly from there. Jon really knows the area and knows his stuff! We worked with a knowledgeable stager to present our home in the best possible light. The marketing was incredible! The photos were professional and highlighted the strengths of our home. The video and narration helped potential buyers familiarize themselves with our home, the amenities and the neighborhood strengths. Due to the marketing, I even received interest from buyers that weren't initially thinking of buying to consider purchasing our home. My friends were jealous of how effective Jon was in finding the right buyers for us. With just open house event, we agreed to a full price offer in just 10 days. While we were selling our home, Jon guided us to find the home that met our needs and expectations. He didn't bring us to a parade of homes, but really honed in on the types of homes and the area we wanted. He stayed within our comfortable budget and gave realistic expectations on what we could buy. With his help and expertise we found our home and our offer was accepted in our desired neighborhood. We actually opened escrow on our new home and our old home on the same day. Imagine that! Although there were some unforeseen hiccups along the way, Jon helped us navigate through our options and stay with our schedule. I'm taking the time to write this review because I truly believe this was the best decision we made in the whole process. Without Jon, we would likely still be looking for our new home and our house would still be in on the market. Jon is personable, available, flexible and just knows his stuff. I highly recommend him for the entire buying and selling of your home. Go with Jon and you'll be delighted by the experience. read more

We are so thankful that we found Jon Long for our Realtor. He was 100% committed to finding us the perfect home. We always felt like we were his #1 buyer, even though he had many other clients he was working with. Since we purchased a Short Sale it could have easily been a confusing and stressful process, but Jon was completely on his game at all times and always explained exactly what was going on. He kept on top of all the requirements that came along with a Short Sale. This was our first time buying a home so we had a lot of questions which Jon was more than happy to answer at anytime. We loved that he was very easy to contact. He would always pick up our phone calls right away. He would even call us just to check in and make sure all of our questions and concerns were being taken care of! We truly cannot say enough good things about Jon. He makes a fantastic Realtor. We will definitely be referring our friends and family to him. Thank you Jon for finding us our Dream Home!!! read more

Jon sold my mom's home 7 weeks after listing it & over the asking price! I was happy to hear a neighbor just listed with him!

Jon was the BEST Real estate agent we ever had! Very thorough...knew the Brea market inside and out! He recommended a good selling price and we went with it. As a result, 5 offers after 3 days! He kept the lines of communication humming which is key. He has a wonderful interior decorator who gave us suggestions we went with (staging and paint colors). His contractor was great to help make the changes and the process was very smooth..no stress. read more

Jon just helped us purchase our first home! I'm sure everyone knows the process is an emotional one, so we constantly wanted updates and Jon was very patient with us, responsive, and communicative. It was clear that Jon is very knowledgeable - we had a few hiccups with our original lender, and he helped guide us through so that we were still able to close on time. And now we have our dream home! Thank you, Jon! read more

jon is an amazing agent to work with. he helped sell our brea home and purchase our new LA county home. his work ethic, real estate knowledge and experience is apparent and most importantly, hes honest. we trusted him with staging our home, listing it with strategy in mind and then negotiating with multiple buyers to accept what we felt was fair and acceptable. he was extremely patient and walked us through every step of the process in detail, answering every question we had without getting frustrated or impatient. we were in escrow within 1 week and got over $50k above list! he then helped us buy our new home in south pasadena. jon went above and beyond to help us purchase in a highly sought after city with little inventory. he even helped us with renovation ideas etc. he also continued to help us with questions and issues (like removing photos off MLS), gaining a new parcel of land etc after we escrow closed! jon is a wonderful and trustworthy agent. we look forward to working with him again in the future and we would highly recommend him to anyone! read more

Easy and almost effortless, best describes our experience with Jon. My mother decided she would like to sell her home and had never have done a sale before. My husband I are recent transplants from Phoenix and don't have a great understanding of the California market. Jon was recommended to us by Scott Hupp, a mortgage broker we were dealing with. We called on Saturday evening and met the very next day. He came well prepared with comps of the area and recommendations. He was extremely professional and very realistic, no false promises in order to get our listing. He provided a stager, professional photographer and shot a video of my mother's home showcasing the great aspects along with what the community has to offer. I have yet to see any other realtors out there that will go the extra mile unless it was million plus listing. Her home out shined all the others and we received a nearly full price offer within the first week. No surprises or hick-ups along the way, it was smooth as silk. Jon did an excellent job and I would not hesitate to use him again in the future. Thanks, Jon! read more

Throughout the entire process Jon was patient and there to handle all of my questions/concerns.

With Jon's counsel we accepted the strongest offer and were under contract within a week. In escrow Jon worked diligently with all parties and ensured a smooth and timely closing. Jon is a respectable and trustworthy Realtor and person. His real estate acumen and genuine intent to perform in the best interest of his client makes selecting him as your Realtor a no brainer. I highly recommend Jon and look forward to working with him again in the future. Thanks Jon! read more
