If you're like me and you dread the cheesy/fake smile, pushy realtor experience, you will truly appreciate JR Jones Realty and Steven Jones.
Steven's down to earth, honest and human attitude truly won me over. He's an awesome person with a great sense of humor, who is always ahead of schedule and totally on-point. He allowed us to take our time and look around the homes without having to hear a sales pitch, allowing us to come to our own conclusion on what we wanted or needed in a new home. He truly understands how to give people their space, and how to be a friend on their side, in lieu of the typical realtor who just wants to make a quick commission and never be seen again.
Don't let his kindness and laid-back attitude fool you though!!! This guy is a powerhouse who is on top of his game 24/7! He is aggressive when it comes to negotiation skills and making deals, and that is where you want him on your side! He just knows exactly when and where to unleash the fire!
My initial plan while shopping for houses was not to stick with one realtor and simply look around on my own without calling just one person. As soon as my husband and I met Steven, our plans totally changed. We HAD to work with him, and I didn't want to deal with any other realtors ever again. He sent us listings relevant to EXACTLY what we wanted, and we had a lot of very specific things that are difficult to find in combination. We ended up finding the house we wanted within a week's time of speaking with him. I did not expect for the search to be over so quickly, but we found everything we were looking for!
We had a difficult seller who was unwilling to budge, and Steven convinced them to go down on asking price, cover 100% of our closing costs, AND make the repairs we asked for after they had first been unwilling to do so. Some of these repairs helped us realize larger underlying pool problems that the seller was required to fix prior to closing, which we never would have seen if the initial repair was not made. Steven's amazing skills of negotiation saved us thousands of dollars in potential pool repairs, and a whole lot of time.
I was under a tight deadline with the rate lock expiration date my financing company had provided, and had a bit of a challenging situation where timing of submission of purchase contracts and forms was absolutely crucial and would dramatically effect the outcome of the purchase. Steven handled this with absolute professional ease and grace, helping me achieve a closing within just three weeks and some change! He went above and beyond the call of duty, and orchestrated a perfect closing. No bumps in the road, no hiccups - just point at the house you want, and BAM, it's yours! :)
I have worked with realtors before, in addition to knowing some as friends personally, and let me tell you - Steven is THE BEST of the BEST. You can tell he is passionate about what he does, and he is extremely experienced and resourceful. You will truly be happy if you choose to work with him, and he will exceed all of your expectations and change your mind about realtors forever. Trust me, I am a difficult person to impress - give him a call today. read more
