Coming into the home purchase process, my wife and I were reluctant to go with a real estate broker. We thought we would simply find the house that suited us and navigate ourselves to the closing table while perhaps enticing a seller to choose our offer sans agent. We couldn't have been more incorrect! Having decided to go with Jon was definitely the best decision we could have made. Not only did we find our dream home, we were ecstatic with our accepted offer price and very fortunate to work with Jon's extensive rolodex of professionals that undoubtedly also helped make our purchase a done deal. Knowing that we may need to move quickly in the fast-paced WNY real estate market, Jon helped line up an entire day of showings into one day. He seemed to know every broker representing each home we were interested in! This proved to be extremely helpful as we felt we were truly getting 'the inside scoop.' In the interest of time, Jon and his team went to bat for us and got a final offer accepted on Christmas Eve, of all days. The house was only on the market for a short time and was already gaining huge interest. It might be worth mentioning that we made an offer on a house that was 'For Sale by Owner' and the sellers were skeptical of working with a buyer's agent. Jon seamlessly turned his professional services into a positive for both parties and the sellers were happy to move forward with us. However, this was only the beginning of Jon proving his value to our process. Back home in NYC at this point, Jon helped coordinate our home inspection, mortgage discussion, our attorney representation, appraisal, second viewing, lender requirements, and served as a liaison between the sellers and us. Just as Jon had promised, these professionals were fantastic and I would personally recommend them to any friend or family. Some of the most critical work Jon did was during this time such as negotiating terms, addendums, and extra items (yes free stuff!) with the seller. Jon was very persistent in getting all desired clauses into writing, even when both the seller (and at times the buyers) were busy our distracted for a few days or more at a time. Everything from the condition of the pool and hot tub to the barstools in the basement were included. There were even things to be fixed around our new house that Jon ensured were taken care of. Once again in the process, we were extremely pleased with Jon's negotiating skills. Furthermore, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the real estate industry was heading into uncharted territories. Amid fears of firms shuttering, the clerk's office closing, and overall uncertainty around closing transactions, Jon and his team helped ensure a closing date for us before it had become unsafe to do so. If we hadn't already felt lucky to be working with Jon, we certainly did at this point. But wait there's more! Jon went above and beyond in mitigating the post-close issues that arose. Upon final walk through and in the first weeks in the house, a few items were found that required fixing or attention. Jon, despite typically being 'off the hook' as most real estate brokers might feel at this point, continued to communicate with the seller to ensure we were 100% satisfied. In sum, thank you Jon! Your work was invaluable to our family and we will absolutely recommend you to any prospective home buyers we know in the future! read more

A year ago my fiancée and I began the daunting task of relocating from Los Angeles to Buffalo in search of our forever home and finally settling down. This was an extremely important move for us, and we hoped to find an experienced agent that would help facilitate our search. Trying to survey the housing market from 3,000 miles away was not easy, so I asked around for agent recommendations. A well-respected business owner in Buffalo suggested we work with Jon and put us in touch. Our search with Jon began in December 2024 as we visited and scoped out several neighborhoods we might be interested in. Jon was gracious enough to meet with us during the busy holiday season, and even helped secure a few tours on short notice. It became very apparent that he commanded a strong working knowledge of the luxury market in Western New York. Jon must have been a skilled tradesman in a previous life, because he also gave great insights into every aspect of each home's utilities, structure, design and more. As Californians, his knowledge of winterizing a home was invaluable as this would be completely new to us as homeowners in New York. The selling process in California took us far longer than we anticipated, but Jon maintained great communication with us. He even gave us a few friendly tips to help us as first-time sellers. We appreciated his patience and willingness to work with us as this process began taking on the greater part of a year. At no point did we ever feel rushed, and we knew Jon was always there to help us with our search in New York. He also quickly learned our taste and style in properties and was able to make tailored recommendations for homes as they came on market. Jon also played an integral role in facilitating a smooth transition across the country. He helped us secure a short-term rental property and even toured it for us through video. Not long after, we were finally ready to begin touring again and placing offers. Jon successfully navigated us through the volatile Buffalo luxury market, and ultimately guided us through a multiple-offer situation to get our absolute DREAM house. We never felt rushed, and he knew how important this new house was to us. Jon never pushed us toward a house we did not 100% love just to finish a sale. He also made sure we knew the situation with each house we considered. He definitely knew the moments where we had to strike quickly, and that's exactly how we secured our current home. Throughout the buying and closing process Jon also had amazing recommendations for professional lenders, lawyers, and more. Our closing was extremely smooth and we always knew exactly what to do or who to talk with. If there was ever a question we had, Jon always had the answer or made sure to get it. Ultimately we ended up even closing several days early, and of course Jon was there with our keys to be the first one to congratulate us on our new home. It was definitely a great moment that capped off nearly one year of working together. We definitely could not have gotten this house or navigated the extremely competitive North Buffalo luxury market without his expert guidance. I would highly recommend working with Jon for anyone needing real estate assistance. Though Jon does a lot of work with many clients, we always felt like we were his top priority and sole focus. read more

Reflecting on my recent home buying process, I worked with real estate agent Jon Carvallo. Our professional relationship started many years ago at Share Kitchen and Bar, where we were both part of the first service and bartending team. During the early stages of his real estate career, Jon consistently exhibited dedication and a strong work ethic, qualities that ultimately led to his recognition as one of the top 100 Realtors in Western New York. These qualities provided a foundation for the professional and knowledgeable assistance I received during my property search. From our very first meeting, Jon made it a priority to ensure I felt fully informed and confident. We started with a comprehensive buyer's consultation, where every step of the process was clearly outlined. This initial session was invaluable, as it helped me understand what to expect and prevented me from feeling overwhelmed by the complexities of purchasing a home. Throughout my search, I was consistently notified of new listings the moment they hit the market. Jon's insight into various neighborhoods, resale values, and market trends was truly impressive. Each time we reviewed a potential home, I felt empowered by the wealth of information provided--not just about location, but about all the factors that affect long-term value. One aspect that stood out was the Jon's willingness to educate me on the "bones" of a home. We discussed the electrical, mechanical, and structural components in detail, with guidance on what issues to look out for and what features add value. This gave me a discerning eye and confidence during showings, knowing that I could make an informed decision. When I finally found the right property, the market was extremely competitive. Thanks to Jon's expert negotiation skills, I was able to secure the home even in a multiple offer scenario. I always felt assured that my best interests were represented at every stage. Another highlight was Jon's commitment to proactive and transparent communication. Every week, I received thoughtful updates about where we were in the process, what was coming up next, and any action items needed. I never once felt out of the loop or uncertain about what was happening. Closing was a breeze, executed timely and efficiently without a single hiccup. Jon's network of trusted professionals proved invaluable--connecting me to a fantastic lender, Joel Mahakian with Premium Mortgage Corporation, and Boorman Law, PLLC. Every referral was thoughtfully selected and contributed to a smooth transaction. If you're searching for a Realtor who combines deep market knowledge, clear communication, and genuine care for their clients, look no further. My experience was not just about buying a house--it was about gaining a trusted advisor and advocate for one of life's biggest decisions. I can't recommend this agent highly enough to anyone seeking a positive, informed, and smooth home buying journey. read more

When searching for a reputable realtor, I reached out to a friend, who suggested a husband/wife team whom she admired. When she discovered that the team relocated to Florida, she contacted them for a realtor suggestion. They were quick to recommend Jonathan Carvallo. They were mentors to him in the past and highly recommended him. After contacting Jon, he came out to our house with a selling plan. He sold himself to us by explaining his high-level marketing strategy. He hired skilled photographers to capture the home with stunning photos. The sale of our home was advertised via social media, post card mailers to neighbors and beautiful print brochures. All these measures were taken to get the most foot traffic through our home. Jon helped us list our home at a fair price for our neighborhood and advised us as to the best ways to update the house for selling. After one day of an open house and another day of private showings, he was able to procure two very good offers, well above asking price. He sold our house 9 days after listing it! He even set a sales record on our street, being the realtor with the highest price sale per square foot. On the buying side, Jon was relentless in looking for a one-story home for us. Initially, we wanted to move to another area, but soon realized what Jon had explained to us all along--that that area would be out of our price range. He was very patient with us and never did we feel pressured by him, when viewing these homes. He encouraged us to take a look at this last home, ironically 10 minutes from our current home at the time, as it "checked off most of our boxes". We instantly fell in love with it! Jon was able to negotiate well, on our behalf; always advocating for our best interest, amid multiple offers on the home. Jon set us up with a very skilled and smart lender who worked tirelessly on our behalf. Jon's transaction coordinator was "on the ball" with emails to keep us updated at every point in the process. He recommended an outstanding attorney, who worked within our closing deadline. Since we agreed to a quick closing and things had to happen very quickly, Jon also gave us the names of a painter, a carpet store owner, a mover, and an insurance agent. These people went above and beyond to help us meet our deadline. We were very appreciative of Jon's personal list of professionals who we could contact, and we ultimately put our trust in them. Jon Carvallo is a knowledgeable, professional, friendly, trust-worthy licensed realtor who we highly recommend for your home buying and selling needs. read more

I was born and raised in Western New York and lived here until 2012 when I enlisted in the Marine Corps. I've known Jon since way back when in high school. When my wife and I made the decision to move back to WNY, the only person I knew I could trust to help was Jon. We were in a unique situation; we were living in South Carolina and were unable to make it to New York for the home search. We let Jon know our limitations and without hesitation, he started sending us listings, providing neighborhood insight and so much more. He set up remote showings, sometimes back-to-back while going through each house with a fine-tooth comb. He used his years of experience to provide insight on things like the electrical box, furnace, hot water tank, structural components, you name it, he covered it. Trust me, as first-time home buyers, this was very appreciated. After we found the home we just had to have, Jon jumped into action and was able to negotiate on our behalf, beating out other buyers and getting us the house without going over asking. Which at least then (Oct 2022) is almost unheard of. As first-time buyers, the process seemed daunting at first, well not with Jon. He was able to link us up with our mortgage lender, attorney and with his fantastic assistant. If we had a question at 10pm on a Wednesday night, bam we got an answer. It was such a refreshing experience and the network he set us up with were true professionals. On closing day, on our final walk through, we had a bit of an issue with some of the previous owners belonging being left in the basement. Without a blink, Jon was on the phone to rectify the situation. It was taken care of so fast, it didn't impact closing at all. I am beyond thrilled with the beautiful home my family now has to create memories in for years to come. None of this would have been possible without Jon. My family and I are forever grateful. If you are looking for someone who will provide the most amazing home buying experience, look no further. Thank you Jon for all the hard work! read more

We initially connected with Jon and immediately felt confident in their approach. They took the time to understand our goals and assured us that their strategies would lead to success. From the start, Jon conducted a comprehensive buyer's consultation, outlining the entire process in a clear and concise manner. This invaluable session ensured that we were well-informed and did not feel overwhelmed by the intricacies of buying a home. One of the standout aspects of working with Jon was their promptness in emailing us listings the moment they hit the market. This, coupled with their deep insights into various neighborhoods, resale values, and market trends, empowered us to make educated decisions swiftly. Additionally, Jon took the time to educate us on crucial aspects of a home, such as electrical, mechanical, and structural components. This knowledge was indispensable in helping us identify potential issues and make informed choices. Given the constraints we faced, Jon leveraged technology effectively and coordinated with our family to conduct virtual home showings. This flexibility and adaptability were crucial in keeping our home search on track. Negotiation is where Jon truly shined. They skillfully negotiated on our behalf, securing our dream property at an incredibly attractive price, even in a competitive multiple-offer scenario. The terms of the deal were perfectly aligned with our goals, making the experience even more satisfying. On top of this, Jon ensured that the property was left sparkling clean and empty, making our final walkthrough a delightful experience. They also connected us with a reliable network of professionals, including their lender Joel Makahian, assistant Ashley, our attorney, and paralegal. This seamless collaboration made the entire process smooth and stress-free. For anyone in search of a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and dedicated Realtor, we wholeheartedly recommend Jon. Their expertise, commitment, and personalized service made all the difference in our home-buying journey. read more

After living in my home for 26 years, I decided that it was time to search for a new home. After being ignored by several other realtors, I was referred to Jon Carvallo to assist me in both finding a new home and eventually selling my current one. Jon was very honest and reliable from the very beginning, he never pressured me and made me feel comfortable. He took me through several homes in the areas we focused on and pointed out their positive attributes and flaws. After honing in on what I really needed, he found me the perfect fit; a home in a beautiful subdivision in Williamsville. He used his knowledge of sales in the area to negotiate a great price that I was comfortable with. The home needed some cosmetic work prior to me moving in and Jon went out of his way to help me line up some trustworthy folks to complete the work inexpensively and quickly. I then tasked Jon with helping me get my home in Amherst up for sale. He provided advice on how to go about preparing my home for sale and brought in a team of photographers, landscapers and a painter to help make my home look its best. In the end, the result was incredible with multiple offers on the home within hours of the first showings, all offers well above asking price and even more accommodations than I was anticipating. Jon worked well with the other realtor to accommodate my transition process and took the stress away from me. Jons list of referrals is very extensive; from painters, plumbers, movers and attorneys, everyone that Jon recommended was friendly, reliable and honest. It is really a testament to his character and as a single woman it was really appreciated. Even well after the purchase and sale were completed, Jon went above and beyond what is expected of a realtor to make sure I was always happy and satisfied. I would put my reputation on the line to recommend him to anyone who might need any sort of real estate assistance. Thank you so much Jon, you have really changed my life for the better! :) read more

I recently had the pleasure of working with Jon Carvallo for a townhouse lease in Buffalo, and I can honestly say he is the best realtor I've ever worked with. From the moment I first inquired about his listing, Jon was responsive and went above and beyond to confirm the specifics of the property for my family and our puppy. He made sure the location would be a great fit, addressing all our concerns before we even stepped foot inside. Jon was incredibly accommodating when it came to coordinating showings, especially since I was traveling back and forth across the state. He met with me in Buffalo and walked me through every detail of the home, making sure I understood the property inside and out. The house turned out to be everything I hoped for, and I'm so grateful Jon's expertise and attention to detail made it all happen. When it came to negotiating the lease, Jon truly advocated for us. There were multiple interested parties, but thanks to his efforts, we were able to secure the property. He worked diligently on our behalf, ensuring that everything went smoothly. Another thing that stood out to me was how Jon ensured the property was left in pristine condition--sparkling clean and empty, just as promised. His professionalism, knowledge, and commitment to his clients were truly exceptional. Having leased and purchased multiple homes in my life, I can confidently say Jon is by far the best realtor I've worked with. I will absolutely be considering him again when the time comes to purchase a home. If you're looking for a trustworthy, dedicated realtor who will go above and beyond for you, Jon Carvallo is the one to call. read more

We can't recommend Jonathan Carvallo highly enough! We first connected while we were passively looking for commercial space, after having a hard time even getting a showing scheduled with another agent. From the very beginning, Jon's sense of urgency and professionalism stood out -- he made it his mission to get us into the property as quickly as possible. When our initial calls and emails to the listing agent went unanswered, he was assertive and persistent, ensuring that our offer was seen and considered right away. Throughout the process, he walked us through every detail of the property -- from the structural and mechanical components to the valuation and location -- making sure we were confident in our decision. What truly set him apart was his market knowledge and expertise in navigating challenges with the other agent. He always had our best interests at heart and negotiated incredibly well on our behalf, ultimately securing the property at a very attractive price in a multiple-offer situation -- one we were more than comfortable with. From the moment we went under contract until the day we closed, Jon communicated with us weekly, keeping us fully informed every step of the way. The final walkthrough went off without a hitch, and he made sure the property was left in great condition. We also want to give a special thank-you to Ashley, who was instrumental in helping everything move smoothly behind the scenes. If you're looking for an agent who combines deep market expertise with genuine care, assertiveness, and clear communication, Jon Carvallo is the one you want in your corner. read more

A couple years ago I worked with another agent to find a house and probably saw about 20-25 houses, but none of them suited my needs and I decided to cancel the search for a bit. I recently decided it was time to start "the hunt" again and contacted Jon because of his amazing yelp reviews. After speaking to him I used Premium Mortgage (who he recommended) to get pre-approved for a mortgage,and he also recommended a lawyer to me. Very soon after Jon showed me the perfect house I wanted to put an offer on. Jon's knowledge and advice helped guide me to put in a competitive and fair offer, and it was accepted! Having never been through this process before Jon easily laid out the process we'd have to follow and the timelines I should expect. There were a few bumps in the road in the process (which is always expected!) but Jon guided me through them and took care of any issues that arose by having great communication with the Seller's agent, the mortgage company, and the lawyers. I even asked if the closing could happen sooner than planned and he took the reigns and was able to get the date I wanted without me having to lift a finger. Now I've been in my new home for a month and haven't been happier. Jon made a complicated process I've never been through very easy, smooth, and actually fun because of his open communication he had with me and with all the parties involved. I've raved about him and his professionalism to my friends and family and would recommend anybody use him if you're looking to buy or sell a home. I know I'm calling him next time I'm looking. Thank you for everything Jon! read more

Jon is absolutely amazing! He worked fast when we had a tight timeline and he met all out needs and really did everything he could to get our wishes met in the sale of our home. Jon was able to provide a selling plan with high-level marketing (print, social media, signage) to encourage lots of foot traffic and subsequent offers which made for an incredibly successful open house. Jon took the time to provide staging and home improvement tips to help boost appeal to our home as we prepared to sell. Jon hired a team of professional photographers to highlight our home in a modern and captivating fashion, highlighting all of the selling features with a great presentation to really make the online viewings appealing to buyers. Thanks to Jon's efforts we were able to sell our home very high above the list price with multiple offers as well as set a sales record not only on our street but several records in the neighborhood. Jon went above and beyond to work alongside the appraiser in order to help our home sell for the full amount. Jon having a team of highly skilled professionals to assist including his assistant and the great attorney referral throughout the process really made it smooth sailing and so easy on the sellers side as I was always able to get my questions answered and concerns reassured. Finally, Jon gave expert advice and was able to negotiate well on our behalf to get us the best offer and it truly felt like he had our best interests at heart at all times. I could not recommend a better realtor to anyone looking to buy or sell; thank you from the bottom of our hearts Jon! read more

Jon Carvallo was a joy to work with, he, not only was very professional but also kind, caring and so helpful in the process of selling my home and helping to get to closing quickly. I found Jon via a referral and after interviewing a few other agents, chose him to work with to sell my home in Williamsville. Knowing I had missed the "summer season", I was concerned about potential buyer interest and, of course, getting the best sales price I could - Jon reassured me that he could get things done and meet or beat my expectations. Jon spent his initial visit with me understanding my needs and sharing his process for marketing my property and supporting the sale. The photos and videos (including a drone video of the outside) were outstanding - made my home look as beautiful online as it was in person. Even though Jon was out of town (Go Bills!), and had a colleague cover my open house, he was always in-touch with me via text and I never had a worry. As promised, I received multiple offers and within a week, my house was under contract and on the way to close. Jon negotiated on my behalf and I happily accepted an " above-ask" offer. Jon's connections also provided me a motivated Real Estate Attorney's office that efficiently processed closing documents and handled all legal requirements promptly, allowing me to close within less than 40 days. And... Jon also recommended the movers that I ended up using - a full service Realtor! The best thing about Jon is that his actions back up his words and you can tell that he truly cares. A very happy client - 5 Stars to Jon! read more

Jon was fantastic to work with. As my wife and I began searching for our first home, we had a really tough time finding a realtor who "fit" our personalities. We first found Jon through his great reviews online, but it was our first meeting with him which sold us that he was the right realtor for us. We immediately appreciated his calm and friendly demeanor. He did a great job highlighting important details/steps for us as first time home buyers. Beyond that, he was very knowledgeable about the market in the various areas we were considering buying and about the condition of the homes/properties we saw during showings. Jon was extremely flexible in terms of meeting up for showings and he seemed to always be available despite our family's hectic schedule. Like many home buying experiences post-covid - ours was not straight forward. As my wife and I got frustrated and disappointed, Jon remained cool calm and collected. He provided us with exceptional guidance, and was an expert negotiator on our roller coaster journey to our dream home. Jon has a wealth of quality professionals he has formed relationships with - whether it is mortgage brokers, home inspectors, or attorneys. And while he will point you in the right direction, there is never any pressure, and Jon really just wants you to have a good experience and work with qualified individuals. We used many of Jon's recommended colleagues and our closing could not have gone smoother. Jon was a pleasure to work with, and my wife and I will not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a home in Western New York. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Jon to sell a property this past summer upon a referral from a trusted professional; I can't recommend him highly enough. From our very first meeting, it was clear that Jon was dedicated to exceptional service. He set realistic expectations, was flexible with our timeline and circumstances, and approached everything with compassion. He made the selling process much smoother than I anticipated, handing everything with care and professionalism. Jon's communication was timely and transparent, which built trust during this important transaction. He has an amazing team that worked efficiently to provide weekly updates, which kept me in the loop and eased any uncertainties throughout the process. I never waited long for answers to my questions, and I appreciated their patience. During the planning and showings, Jon presented multiple plans tailored to different scenarios and to our specific needs, which speak for his strategic thinking and market expertise. He designed a strong and proactive marketing campaign, including online outreach, and priced the property conservatively to create strong interest, leading to a successful sale without delays that set a record sale in the neighborhood. Jon truly goes above and beyond for his clients, including pre-listing staging advice to highlight features in the property. His dedication, expertise, and support made all the difference in this process. If you're looking to buy or sell, I sincerely recommend working with Jon -- you will be in great hands! read more

Jon did an absolutely amazing job helping us find the perfect home! I went to real estate school with Jon almost 9 years ago where I went into the commercial field and Jon went in the residential route. Jon from day one in 2015 showed me that he was driven and a true professional. After school I followed Jon's journey on social media where I continued to see his success and appreciation for his clients. When it came time for my wife and I to start the search for our first house, I knew Jon was the right guy to help us out. Honestly, we didn't know what we were getting into with our home search, but Jon had us come in for an initial consultation which allowed us to understand the process and make things not so overwhelming. Jon went above and beyond all our expectations with his market knowledge, educating us on what negative/positive aspects to look for in a home, his network of professionals, and always making himself available at all times! When we found the perfect house, we knew it was the one, but that we would have a lot of competition. Jon walked us through the negotiation process, gave great advice, and always had our best interest in mind with any decision. I would recommend Jon to anyone I know and we are so appreciative we entrusted him with our search! We would not have gotten to the finish line on our the perfect house without Jon Carvallo!!! read more

We purchased a home with another realtor in 2019 and ultimately didn't feel the house was the right fit for us. However, we were hesitant to sell as we were concerned about the financial implications and the difficulties of finding a new home with housing inventory being so low. While casually looking at houses, we went to an open house that Jon was hosting in the Fall of 2020. We both instantly felt comfortable and confident in his abilities and knowledge of the local real estate market. Within 6 months of meeting Jon we purchased a new home that met all of our criteria and, after receiving numerous offers, sold our former home for a much higher price than we originally targeted. Throughout the process Jon was always kind, professional, responsive and honest. He also has a vast network of resources available to his clients. He helped us obtain an attorney, a home inspector and an electrician in order to help make the process of buying and selling seamless. Anytime we had any questions or concerns Jon always addressed them quickly and proficiently. We are so grateful to Jon for all of his support throughout our home purchasing and selling journey. Jon is a true advocate for his clients and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor. read more

Jon was able to list and sell my house with ease. He generated tons of foot traffic via mailers and a social media blitz that resulted in over 100 people at the only open house offered, 13 private showings and 8 offers. The photos and videography used were definitely a highlight of the marketing campaign utilized and definitely made the house stand out. My house was listed and solid in 8 days and I was able to negotiate a sale price of $50k over asking (13%) which set a sales record for my neighborhood. The team Jon used/recommended to handle the actual closing (closing specialist and attorney) were awesome and made sure all the i's were dotted and t's were crossed. They were on top of everything every step of the way and made sure nothing fell through the cracks (which happens quite frequently in my experience). I did not have to worry about anything as I was in very good hands. Jon made sure that the process of listing and closing on my house was a success and provided top notch service. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family and I would not hesitate to utilize him and his team again going forward. If you are looking to buy or sell in the Buffalo area, do not hesitate to give him a shout! read more

My husband and I moved back to Buffalo after being away for 10+ years. After a brief stay in a short-term rental, we were pressed to find a new home in a short amount of time. This presented many challenges as the real estate market has changed significantly and there was an extreme shortage of homes available to us. Jon was able to connect us with a highly reputable mortgage lender as we began our search. He also sent us new house listings daily and contacted us to express his excitement in a specific home that fit a lot of our needs. He negotiated on our behalf beyond our expectations and was able to help us get closed on our home in just ONE month! We are beyond happy with our lovely new home and truly believe we couldn't have done all of this without him. In such a chaotic time, Jon worked to keep us informed along each step of the process and helped to eliminate a ton of our stress along the way. I highly encourage anyone who is seeking real estate assistance that wants a trustworthy, hard-working and DEPENDABLE realtor to give Jon a call. You can rest assured that he will work hard on your behalf and will be there every step of the way making for a truly enjoyable experience! read more

My husband and I met Jon at a open house. He was knowledgeable, attentive, and quick on his feet. Being locals of Buffalo already we wanted to work with somebody who really understood what it was like to live in Buffalo and Jon was it. He guided us through the process while still leaving us in charge, he didn't shove us into a neighborhood based on a demographic. We looked at all kinds of neighborhoods in Buffalo and the surrounding area until we found the one that fit our lifestyle. His knowledge does not stop at the business end of real estate, Jon has a wealth of knowledge on home improvement too. Jon was able to spot problematic wiring, solid foundations, asbestos plumbing, but explain things in a simple way without coming off condescending. Jon understands buying/selling a house isn't solely about money. For example there was another offer on the house we bought, Jon gave us an edge on the other buyer by understanding the seller wanted more time to move not more money, so by giving them an extra time to close the seller was more comfortable with us than the other bidder. When the time comes to sell our former home Jon Carvallo is the first person we are calling. read more
