John, John, John! He is amazing! I am a Realtor in San Antonio Texas and had referred him a client that is working at Stanford University. His level of communication is top notch, he is relentless at finding deals, and overall he took awesome care of my client and got the deal closed! He is definitely getting my next Bay Area referral!! read more

The home selling process with John as my realtor was unmatched. He is a true professional, with a vast knowledge of the home buying and selling process, which is evidenced through simple conversation/interaction with him. I appreciated the fact, I was never left wondering where we were in the process, from touch-up work on the property to closing escrow. Additionally, due to prior obligations, I was often unavailable and John was left to ensure certain aspects of the process were completed on my behalf (cleanliness, yard work, open-house readiness etc). It was easy to trust John, as if I'd known him for several years. Several platforms will tell you that no one is purchasing real estate these days, which can cause some apprehension for a seller. However, with John's confidence, selling strategies and "know how," all doubt was removed and the home received multiple offers upon conclusion of the open house. John explained to me each respective offer, provided insight on which offer to choose, why and escrow closed early. I can't say enough about his services and highly recommend... For all your real estate needs, contact John Ojo! read more

John helped us buy and sell our first home. Buying a second home can be just as stressful as the first--but thanks to John, the process was smooth, efficient, and even enjoyable. The deal he was able to negotiate was better than we could have imagined. We were on a very tight deadline and every request was met. His experience and deep understanding of the market were clear from the start, and he helped us find the perfect property that checked all the boxes. What really stood out was his ability to balance professionalism with a personal touch. He listened closely to what we were looking for and made sure every showing was a great fit for our needs and lifestyle. From negotiations to closing, John stayed on top of every detail and kept us in the loop every step of the way. If you're in the market for a first home, second home, or investment property, I highly recommend John Ojo. Knowledgeable, responsive, and truly a pleasure to work with. Excited about our next Buy! read more

John was an excellent realtor who was always available to help. He expertly guided us thru both a purchase and sale of our home. I highly recommend him. read more

John has been an absolute dream to work with. He coached us through an intense negotiation process, brought in an amazing home inspector that helped us feel secure in our purchase by educating us on various issues - and perks - the house has, supported us through the loan process and even offered to assist us with finding a tenant for our current home. He is very responsive, knowledgeable, and has a positive attitude and ineffable personality that helped us process the immense stress of purchasing our home. He is also generous and thoughtful and came through for us with practical and emotional support regularly. Words cant express our gratitude to John for his support and guidance. If you're looking for someone who can act as your coach, MVP, and cheerleader in your home buying process, you'll find it in John! read more

While I believe John to be a good Realtor I also honestly feel that he didn't have my best interest when I purchased my home 1 year ago. His exact words were, " PL is a very up and coming community " but since living here for 1 year I've come to see that what you see is what you get! The long time residents tell me that this community once had big plans but over the recent years they diminished. Now I'm stuck in a house I dislike in a area that makes hell look inviting. This was the first & only house John showed us. I'm not an experienced homebuyer so John should of pointed out the drawbacks of what I was buying. He simply made his commission! Then recently I became aware that many things that were to be completed by the seller wasn't in fact done. I contacted John for assistance and was told to seek legal advice and to hire an attorney to come up with a letter to the sellers of my property! John and his broker dropped the ball on me! I feel ripped off, disappointed and dissatisfied. One year later I'm already planning on moving out of this very non up & coming community! read more

Several years ago, my husband and I were selling our home in Elk Grove. We had gone through several agents in our search for the right person to aid us in selling our home. After several weeks, and several interviews later, we were no closer to finding that person. Until one fine evening, John called and without pressure, simply asked if he could show our home to a perspective client of his. We figured, why not, we have cameras in our home, so we can see if this client wants to make an offer. John came with his client and and we watch in amazement, as he toured our home, basicly selling the property as if he was our agent. The client didn't buy or home, but we liked his non aggressive, yet personable, professional attitude, that we signed with him to sell our home. John went on to not only sell our home, we also used him to buy the home we are in today. We had to have been one of the most challenging home buyers he has every come across. We would put in a offer, then pull out, find a better home, we would put in, pull out. We must had don't this at least 3 or 4 times. But...John never waivered. He has got to be one of the most calm persons I have ever known. I couldn't do it. We often keep in touch with him, as we developed a friendship. He's good people, that knows his craft. read more

John is incredible person, puts his client's needs first, great personality, and flexible. Back in 2019, he helped us move from the bay area to Sacramento. We were first time buyers and he was with us throughout the whole journey, processing paperwork, working with the seller and their real estate agent. He has been so thoughtful of us even after moving in and we appreciate everything he has done. I always recommend him to friends and family. I hope your kindness gets returned in tenfold. read more

I really appreciate all the hard work and dedication from John. He helped me find a house quickly in this wild market. 10/10 recommend!!

When we first met John, he allowed us to explain our situation and patiently listened to our concerns. After Our 4 months research we were able to find the house that we were looking for and John help us to get the house. As a professional realtor, John came across someone who knows the tricks of the trade and as a human being, he is very courteous. Easy to talk to, good at listening to his clients, easily available, and at all the times quick at returning our calls or to respond to our queries. Above all, John is one Real Estate Agent who makes it a point to help you meet your purpose rather just fulfilling his goals. I strongly recommend John Ojo the Realtor! read more

We called John after a family member recommended him. We were moving from Minnesota to Sacramento, in the middle of a pandemic, and needed to buy our first house on a tight deadline, knowing that we would be doing a lot of it virtually, in a competitive market. John totally stepped up to the challenge, took us under his wing, and made the process efficient, informative, and dare I say **fun**. We found and closed on our first home in 60 days. We didn't actually see the home in person before we had the keys. The home came in under budget after some of John's negotiations, is in the quaintest neighborhood, and we just cannot get over how PERFECT this home is for us. We could not have done it without John! Such a fun, nice, & hardworking person that happens to be a great realtor! read more

We can't speak highly enough of our experience with John Ojo. We were first time home buyers and in this market we weren't too convinced about even finding a home for us. We ending up finding the ONE in an amazing neighborhood. John walked us through every step of the way, and was always there for us when we had any question or worry. Thank you for helping us find our amazing new home where we will grow our little family. - The family Rocha read more

John, Was my agent on the purchase of our home purchase in Sacramento, CA. I was referred to him by my loan agent Lauretta Casimir-Mahoney The Queen of Finance. He is very knowledgeable, patient, and does his market research on every property. He goes above and beyond for your real estate needs. We closed on my house in 30 days. He was in constant contact with me and all parties. He's very reliable. I will definitely use him again. Please contact him for a no-pressure consultation he will help you and I'm very satisfied. John is an amazing real estate agent. Thank you again, Michael D read more

Overall an excellent experience! Moving across country during a global pandemic in a historically competitive market to purchase our first home is daunting to say the least but John Ojo went above and beyond to make our dream a reality. He truly listened to what we were looking for in a neighborhood, home, yard, etc and worked diligently to find us exactly what we wanted. As first time home buyers we had no idea how difficult the process of putting together a competitive offer and closing on a house could be, especially in the current market. With Johns expertise and persistence we were able to not only find our dream home and neighborhood but negotiate structural fixes and save money. Would highly recommend using John to find your next home. read more

Diligent, professional, persuasive..a class act! John Ojo helped my husband and I purchase our Emeryville Loft! He spent numerous weekends helping us search for our dream house. He did is research on the comps, he had a good understanding of the market and he educated us on the process! He leaves no stone unturned! When your ready to buy a home....John is your guy!! read more

There are so many great things I can say about John! As soon as we connected he was more than willing to go the extra mile and was already down to show us homes the next day! He was professional every single step of the way, is respectful of your time and is willing to walk you through the entire home buying process. He was very accommodating, we lived all the way in Emeryville, had a very strict schedule (due to a new baby) and he would drive all the way from Sacramento (many times) sometimes to even just show us 1 house. We started our search in August and throughout the whole experience he has gone above and beyond. As soon as we found the home that we wanted to put the offer on he was tenacious and did everything he could to make us stand out. He had some very creative ideas up his sleeve and even though we were outbid, I guarantee that we stood out! As many people know finding a house in the bay area is competitive, finding one in Oakland is like finding a needle in a haystack, you have to come with your best offer or not play at all. Luckily we found the right place for us (in Oakland!) and John made it a seamless transaction. He worked well with the selling agent, escrow and my lender. He made sure nothing slipped through the cracks and was in constant communication with us whenever there was an issue, resolving it ASAP. As soon as we closed he made sure everything was move in ready and worked with our tight timeline. I cannot recommend John enough! There's so much more positive things to say but for now I'll just leave it at, go with him for any housing needs you will be completely satisfied! Thank you John for everything you did for my family, we are forever grateful and feel so lucky to have gained you as a friend! read more

John was wonderful to work with. Not only did he listen to what was important, he was concerned that I was in a safe place, and talked me off the ledge numerous times. It's not just about getting the deal, he actually cares. After the purchase was done he has been so helpful in referring handymen and arranging appointments. The last house I purchased, once the deal was done I never heard from that agent again. I will definitely refer people to John. read more

I gave John 5 starts because he rightly deserves it. Being a first time home owner I had no idea and still don't about how hectic or stressful the whole buying experience can be and that's because I had John to guide me throughout the entire process. If you asked me would I use him again if I was to buy another property? The answer is a emphatic YES! Without a single doubt! read more

John Ojo recently helped us sell our home. His level of professionalism and experience exceeded our expectations. With his advice we were able to sell our home well above the listing price in a matter of 4 days on the market. Since this was the our first time selling our home we had many questions throughout the process. John was able to answer our questions and give us updates throughout the process. If you're looking for an agent that has knowledge of the market, and is a great communicator then I'd highly recommend using Mr. Ojo. read more

We moved into our new home mid January, and we only started looking in December (at the time just browsing)... Fast forward, we were able to find our new home closer to work, find great renters for our existing home (also with the help of John). Now just a month and a half into our new home, everything is done! He had every referral imagineable and worked overtime to make sure we had all our i's dotted and t's crossed so that we could get into our new home, and he could earn our business. In a time where EVERYONE is a real estate agent, and websites allow for self service... working with John has reminded me of one very important thing. You cannot underestimate the power of relationships. Because of his relationships with other professionals, we were able to get everything done quickly and at a good price. Our initial browsing turned into the best purchase ever and with the help of John, we now have 2 homes and lowered expenses! How that happens I have no idea but it was the best experience ever and I can't say enough. If you are looking for an agent and want to let him do all the heavy lifting so you don't have to, he is your guy. His attention to detail and experience with the art of negotiation will get you into the house you thought you couldn't get into. We were pleasantly surprised how smooth everything all went. Good luck to all you happy house hunters! Give John a call! read more

If you're in the market to buy a home, especially as a first time home owner, you've probably learned it can be a very daunting process for all involved. Working with John really made the entire process so much less stressful. Not only was he incredibly familiar with the neighborhoods we were looking in, he was also able to introduce us to neighboring communities that fell within our price range. John was super patient with my wife and I as we disagreed on property after property and neighborhood after neighborhood. We looked at at least 20+ properties over the course of 6+ months. At no point did he express frustration with us or get pushy. Rather he insisted we take our time and guided us to make informed decisions. When we ultimately decided on a property and were ready to make an offer, John moved swiftly and used his business savvy to foster a relationship with the selling agent, ultimately sealing the deal for us! His work didn't stop there. John moved us quickly through the closing process and tied up all the loose ends for us, even things we hadn't thought of! If you're in the market in the Bay Area, Mr John Ojo is the guy to get you to the finish line! read more

John was amazing. He went above and beyond to take the burden off my shoulders. My mother had just passed, and I just wanted to get it done and have the time to grieve my mother properly. He was extremely professional, and sensitive to me and my family's needs. I don't remember how many "hats" he wore, but whatever I needed, he always "had a guy"!!!! I swear it felt like I was his only client! I still don't know how he got it all done...Thank you so much, John. I will definitely refer you to ANYone I know who is looking into buying or selling! read more
