Jon Wood is the realtor you dream of - treats you like family but definitely is a knowledgeable expert. He is extremely patient and we always felt at ease and never pressured or rushed in our search - it took us half a year to find our dream house because we were very particular. Jon was always extremely quick to reply and would always reach out to us to check in. Once we found our house Jon was extremely helpful in advising and guiding us on the correct offer to present. Jon was very pleasant to work with and made the entire process run smoothly. Look no further - you've found the best realtor ever in Jon Wood! read more

Jon Wood did it again! I was blown away with the results from our most recent purchase and sale. I've now worked with Jon on five transactions, two sales and three purchases in Moraga, Lafayette and Pleasant Hill over the span of 10 years. John has deep local knowledge of the real estate market, is well connected with other agents and service providers, and is constantly adapting to the everchanging real estate landscape. Jon has morals and tact, which I highly respect. Jon invests himself into your transaction and is a true partner throughout the process. We couldn't be happier with Jon's service and would recommend him without hesitation. read more

We were in the real estate market for several years. The market continues to be extremely hot, and cash buyers are everywhere, making it tough for the rest of us who need a conventional loan. After losing 3-4 bids elsewhere, we took a chance on Jon. We had a baby on the way and needed a home. He performed on all aspects of the process, even when I was frustrated and less than pleasant. The real estate market can be unbelievably infuriating. Through some voodoo magic Jon moved us to the top of a list of multiple bidders on a house we were able to purchase. It still feels like a miracle as we live in our dream home. Jon always had our best interests at heart and carefully guided us through every difficult step. He was a pro through every twist and turn of a tumultuous process with a difficult seller. If you've bid on a few homes without success, or if you want to speed up the process, you need to talk to Jon. I cannot recommend Jon and Holly strongly enough. read more

We really enjoyed working with Jon and his team. Jon was super easy to work with and never pushy. He brought thoughtful ideas and suggestions to the table as well as extensive local knowledge and relationships. As buyers, Jon helped us negotiate a below-list price deal in a hot sellers market and we were very pleased with the outcome. We were introduced to Jon through a friend and have since recommended him to other friends and family, and would definitely use him again next time we're in the market. read more

If I were to use one word to describe Jon Wood, I would say it was "caring." He goes above and beyond to help you find a home and cares about your needs. We had a unique living situation, and needed to find a home that would be able to accommodate my parents if needed. We looked at 52 homes in less than a year during Covid! Not only did he find us the perfect home, we absolutely love the neighborhood. He never gave up on us. The market is extremely competitive and he set us up for success beating out three other buyers. I highly recommend Jon, he wasn't only our realtor but he's become a good friend. read more

Jon and Holly were amazing with my quickest home purchase ever! It was a fast and furious process and everything was taken care of professionally and quickly!

I have worked with many realtors during the years but Jon and Holly are one of the best team in Bayarea. Holly is very strong in communication and negotiation skills. She is willing to fight for her client and never back off or give up. When the market is hot, there are bidding wars competing for limited inventory. Holly is always determined to make every effort to win the bid. She is my best preferred agent. Jon, on the other hand, is very knowledgeable and resourceful in real estate. He is the go-to person if I need help or have any question in real estate. Holly and Jon are both trustworthy and likeable people, their skillset complement each other to make them the #1 team in eastbay. read more

I'm so grateful to Jon! As a first time home buyer in a very hot seller's market, I was prepared to be overwhelmed and intimidated by the process but Jon clearly explained and walked me through every step. Luckily, my experience was simply a breeze thanks to the knowledge and guidance that Jon provided! Jon was very responsive to any and all questions/requests, was very accommodating with showings, and provided a quality network of professionals to help get a closing on my home in under 30-days. If you are a first time home buyer or just looking for a realtor to put your trust in throughout the buying or selling process, look no further! read more

Jon and Holly are a dream team. As any Bay Area home buyer knows, this is not an easy market. Jon and Holly were patient, determined and exceedingly accommodating throughout the nearly two year hunt. Once we finally got to purchase, they walked us through each step until we finally landed our dream home. They really became part of the team, I would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

Jon and Holly went above and beyond our expectations being that we had already had poor experiences with other realtors. They made sure our future home would be a good fit for our family and were helpful in providing a detailed calendar that showed what to expect weekly while we were in escrow. This made for a smooth experience, and answered any questions and concerns during the home buying process. We are grateful to have been able to work with Jon and Holly and we look forward to working with them in the future. - The Del Toro Family read more

Working with Jon to purchase our home in Orinda was wonderful, and we highly recommend him to anyone. He took time upfront to learn what we cared about most, our goals and dreams for our new home.

After Mom moved to an adult living community we were left with the daunting task of dispersing the contents of her home and putting the home on the market. This was a home she was very proud of and had lived and collected there for over forty years. It was important that the process be respectful and conscious of the challenges of such a life-changing event. Jon was excellent with her, never talking past her and always ready to infuse fun in the process. The strategy for the sale of the home that Jon and Holly provided was very successful, I think there were 6 offers over the asking price. We were given great council in understanding the strengths and weakness' of the offers and they skillfully navigated the closing process. Jon and Holly were true professionals with the experience to anticipate and preempt challenges. They had great resources for preparing the home for market and took on tasks that would have been daunting for us. They even helped with the garage sale! With Jon and Holly you can expect a trouble free sale and top dollar. read more

Holly and Jon helped my family buy our first home and made the process seamless and enjoyable!!! I got a lot of horror stories from friends about what to expect when buying a house and I am so happy to report NONE of that happened!!!! Holly was available for any questions and helped us through the entire thing even checking up a week after closing to make sure we were doing alright! They we're kind, friendly and timely! They are now friends and continue to check in! I will definitely be recommending them to anyone I know in the market to buy a home!!! I am so thankful for all the work they did to make our dream happen! read more

They are amazing! My mom sold her home in the Bay Area and the only problem she has now is that Jon and Holly have become her great friends. She misses them. She got so accustomed to having them around. Working with them is like having new additions to a family. Very hands on and personable. Thank you for everything! You both need to come and visit us in Orange County! read more

Jon and Holly have done it again; helping my growing family secure our dream home, but not without driving them all over the Bay Area to search high and low for the perfect property. To say that my husband and I were looking for a house is innocuous enough, but this time around we reserved to be much more selective looking for unique characteristics that would fit our family for the next few decades, if not forever, and we had an extra person, our toddler daughter, Fiona, with us at every open house, meeting, and inspection. Jon provided excellent advice, knew how to navigate the markets we were looking in (from Berkeley, to Lamorinda, Walnut Creek, and ultimately, where we ended up in Benicia), and made looking for houses fun for us and Fiona. He paid attention to all the details, was proactive in reaching out to us, and made sure we were always as competitive as we could be, with each house we competed for having multiple offers. With only a month in between, Jon and Holly also assisted in selling our previous home. With their expert help in staging the house and prepping it for sale, the house looked better than ever and we got nine offers by the offer deadline, ultimately selling for way over our very high expectations. Jon and Holly are really a one stop shop for all things real estate and I wouldn't hesitate working with them again or recommending them to family and friends. read more

We were very fortunate to work with Jon and Holly after having a bad experience with 2 other agents. They represented my wife and I very professionally and listened to all questions and concerns. Jon and Holly setup a meeting and walked us step by step explaining everything in PERSON(first time buyer). I like the old school approach of doing face to face business. Nowadays there's only contact via email which can get frustrating back and forth. Jon is extremely knowledgable. They made our transaction run very smooth and we closed on time as promised. It was somewhat of a complex transaction but made us feel at ease throughout the process. It was a great pleasure working with them and I would recommend them to family and friends anytime. Thank you Jon and Holly, we are loving our new home. read more

Both Jon & Holly are detailed oriented, thorough with documentation, and pleasant to communicate with. There were times when I was very anxious, and Jon put my mind at ease with his direct focus, and ability to meet the demands of very delicate, & challenging circumstances regarding my sale. The closing came together, and was finalized in good time. I was relieved and pleased with the outcome. Looking back I would not change a thing. Jon & Holly are the BEST! I highly recommend them for all your real estate needs. read more

Jon & Holly are in a class of their own. They listed our house in Walnut Creek and Purchased our new house in Orinda. First let me describe the process of selling our house: Jon and Holly worked very closely with us every step of the way. They were did a fabulous job of getting the house ready, developing a marketing plan that would reach the demographic of the kind of buyers we wanted to attract. Their approached was proved out when we received 5 offers that we all far above the asking price within 5 days. Our selling price set a new record in our neighborhood. In buying our new home, Jon and Holly spent time understanding our requirements completely before showing us properties. We ended up buying the house of our dreams with an under asking price offer!

I truly appreciate Jon's advice and honesty when it came to putting in an offer. With their help and expertise, I was able to get the condo that I wanted in my desired location. I couldn't be happier! read more

There should be an expression past 'above and beyond' for how Jon handled the sale of our home of 20 years. At the beginning, he listened well and lent his experience and expertise. During, he handled all the details, large, small, and truly daunting. He always showed our house in the best possible light and kept us aware of what was happening. At the end, when things got tougher, he had the best combination of humor, empathy, and calm and dragged us over the finish line. Jon and Holly are the best and we are so glad they were with us on this journey. read more

Jon and Holly provided regular contact with me and my family over the sales of both our rental and family homestead. It was a long time in coming but we finally were in a position to sell both lots/homes that sit side-by-side on Livermore's busy 4th Street and though our original contracted deal fell through, Jon & Holly were able to negotiate with our back-up offerees and come to a conclusion that almost matched our original contract. Jon was very responsive when hit with our market questions and heard our thoughts and needs concerning getting top dollar for this end of estate sales. My husband and I hope to use Jon and Holly for our next sale but we're looking a 2018 to hopefully put some distance between the last transaction and the next. I appreciate their combined knowledge of both the Livermore Valley and the Concord/Walnut Creek corridors. Thank you, Jon & Holly for being so attentive to our needs and dealing with all of our family quirks. See you in 2018. read more

JON IS A ROCK STAR !! Holly is pretty awesome as well ! So our story, jumping back about 20 months ago we decided it was time to find a home in Lafayette... Simple right? Not so much, we had an interesting mixed up list of what we needed (wanted) and we were referred to Jon. After a quick intro to our bucket list he complied a sampling of homes to view. At the very first house we went to, he started to 'eloquently' describe the features of the home and I blurted 'hmmm you sound like a realtor...' and the formality was gone. Jon became our friend...and we totally trusted his honesty. We actually looked forward to the fun banter. In a short time we found our home - BUCKET LIST FLLED to the rim. We like him so much we even keep inviting him to our parties, that has to say something!! read more

Jon and Holly helped us find our forever home in orinda and we are so grateful! My husband and I sold our home in Oakland and had a short time to find a new home through the tunnel before we were homeless, so we were very high maintenance clients for Jon and holly while we were searching. Jon was extremely responsive to our needs and always went above and beyond to help us find our perfect home. We found our home after submitting 7 offers in a very competitive market, and Jon presented all of our offers very professionally, called agents personally to advocate for us in multiple offer situations, and even always tried to present our offers in person to give us a competitive edge. Jon and Holly also always made themselves available to show us homes day after day until we found the right one. We recommend them whole-heartedly! read more

My husband and I didn't think that we would ever be homeowners. We we're referred to Holly and Jon to start the process and they very quickly helped us make buying a home a reality. Holly was very attentive and answered any questions that came up during this process. I would have to say it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, listening to all the stories have told us.

Jon gave realistic advice on the sale price and he and Holly did an exceptional job marketing our property to secure the best sale possible. They exceeded our expectations! Jon and Holly worked with the buyers' realtor to make sure that the buyers got the best deal too. It was a win for all. Then, they worked with us on securing a new property in Orinda to make our new dream home. When the purchase of the Orinda property had some issues while we were in Hawaii, Jon tirelessly took our frantic calls, listened and gave excellent advice. He never made promises that he couldn't keep and "told it like it was" so that we could make decisions and move forward with confidence. The bubbles, fruit and cheese platter, delivered to our hotel room, certainly helped calm the nerves! Over the top! Jon and Holly, thank you so much. read more
