Thanks Jon for selling my house so fast in this incredibly tough market!  Can't believe how well you negotiated the deal and worked so hard to get the process completed on such a tight schedule.  I doubt many agents in the city could have done the same.  If I ever buy or sell a house again, I hope to have you in my corner! 
 
Thanks again!

We first met Jon Mahoney at an open house in 2005. We had a dream of home ownership in Santa Barbara but with specific expectations on a budget! He told us then he didn't care how long it took; he would help us to realize that dream. True to his word he kept in contact over the next four years. He would send updates on market trends and details on homes we might like. When the market took a downturn we knew it was time to act but we still wanted a house with the "wow" factor. Jon found us that house and negotiated a great price. He then helped us to obtain financing in a tough credit market and introduced us to a contractor who added those special touches to our new home at a reasonable price. Jon exceeded our every expectation. He patiently worked with us for over four years. Due to his efforts we are now the proud owners of a home on the Riviera with the terrific view we  wanted.

Jon represented us in the sale of a house and in the purchase of a house.  In both transactions we were incredibly well served.  Jon has a keen sense of the market, is creative and is absolutely diligent in achieving his client's goals.

During our 20+ years of buying and selling income properties, we're very glad to have met Jon, through whom we purchased our second home in Santa Barbara. He is a "super"-Professional!  We feel very confident about recommending Jon to our friends and business associates for solid answers to questions about the real estate sales and purchases, market trends, changes in mortgage lending and the ever-changing real-estate-related tax regulations.

Jon Mahoney has helped make our dream come true: a Santa Barbara beach house near our children and grandchildren. As residents of Monterey we were toying with the idea of purchasing a second property, and beach homes with full ocean views come across only “once in a blue moon.” A small house was going to be listed after Christmas of this past year. Multiple offers were placed on this house, but Jon acted quickly to write and present an offer immediately. Although he had out of town family visiting for the holidays, he met with us on Christmas Day and set the transaction in motion. His many contacts and his respect in the real estate community gave him the ability to have our offer presented and accepted within 2 days. Truly a miracle, given the desirability of this little gem. He helped us arrange for financing at once—again a miracle in these tough times. The rate was extremely desirable and the entire transaction was completed in record time, much to the delight of the sellers. He has spent many hours going over every detail with us and advising us not only on the transaction, but the remodel that we are planning. His ideas are invaluable. Jon is not only our Santa Barbara Real Estate Professional, but our friend for life. We highly recommend him to find the right property, at the right price, and complete a no-hassle transaction.

Jon- thank you for "jumping through hoops" to help us take the next step in our life!

Buying and selling a home in the same year in Santa Barbara takes patience, knowledge and a partnership with a professional who works full time to look after your best interests. Jon was dedicated to tirelessly showing our home, negotiating offers at all hours of the day, and navigating a changing real estate market.

We couldn't have done it without you!

It was a real pleasure working with Jon; integrity, honesty and ability to negotiate the best deal possible. His aggressive representation allowed us to make our dreams happen... We look forward to working with him again and again!!!

Jon Mahoney’s name came to my attention this past summer while on a week-end retreat with my church. One of our financial leaders, Allan Anderson, was sitting with us on a park bench and upon hearing my long term plans to consider a home purchase in summer 2008, he couldn’t say enough about one of our church members, Jon Mahoney, realtor for Coldwell Banker. Because of Allan’s enthusiasm, I knew Jon was a person I would eventually contact. Not necessary. By Monday morning, I had received a follow-up “introduction” call from Jon. Although we played the usual phone tag with our busy schedules, all my phone messages were promptly returned .

I truly believe I could not have been put into better, more competent hands. He is a go-getter. Upon first meeting Jon, I knew he had all his ducks in a row and my intuition told me that through all of Santa Barbara’s networking, he was the man to know. Let’s just say, my one year plan turned into an afternoon, with my fiance, Rick and I sitting in Jon’s office writing a contract. My knowledge of previous home buying was limited, and literally with my consent, Jon took over the reins. I felt like my best interest was Jon’s number one priority of his day. He led me to stellar financing, and reputable first class resources along the way that helped all the necessities run smoothly. Not only has he been there for us through all our closing details, and deadlines and confusing paperwork, but Jon is someone I would not only be proud and confident to refer to all my friends, but also to anyone coming to town who is looking for THE BEST. He is a take-charge kind of man, knowledgable in every detail and wants the best deal for YOU.

While Jon was helping us looking for an investment property, our needs changed. Jon’s flexibility enabled us to find our new home much quicker than we expected.

Thank you for your fast and professional service!

It has been my personal experience that the vast majority of realtors can be placed into one of three categories. We have those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who are completely oblivious to that which is happening. I have coined Jon Mahoney the “Miracle Man”. He is a mover, a doer; one of those unique individuals. I feel it is Jon's unparalleled work ethic, profound knowledge, and amiable nature that enable him to make ones dreams become reality. Jon offers an invaluable service as a realtor and financial advisor as he is always willing to sit down with me at length to discuss the big picture. Despite his popularity as a realtor I never get the feeling that he is too busy for me. In fact, I feel like I am his most valued client, which interestingly is the feeling of a few other clients I have had the pleasure to meet.

If you're in the market to buy or sell, or merely desire to speak with an individual of vast knowledge in regard to market trends or maybe establish a personalized financial plan may I recommend that you be kind to yourself by giving Jon Mahoney an opportunity to change your life as he has mine.

Like a lot of homebuyers, I was looking for more than just an investment and shelter out of my purchase. Working with Jon Mahoney allowed me to turn buying a condominium and remodeling it for my own use into a total quality of life upgrade that took me at least three steps beyond anything I had been able to achieve in the past. Right from the beginning I could tell that we were on the same wavelength. As we visited the various properties that I was interested in, Jon and I carried on a lively conversation that took in every aspect of what living in that particular location would mean to me. We didn’t always agree, but when it came to narrowing the field down to a primary target, the open and informative process made things easy.
If anything, Jon’s performance after the offer was in was even more impressive. At a time when I would have been content to receive an acceptance, Jon was still able to negotiate more favorable terms. In the end, Jon saved me tens of thousands on what was already a reasonably priced home.
As an advisor to my remodel, Jon continued to work on my behalf, and shared with me his network of top experts in construction, design, and interior decoration. Just ten weeks of work and my totally remodeled condominium was ready for me to move in.
Jon Mahoney not only found me a great property, he also helped me to make that property into what I wanted. I am where I want to be today thanks to Jon.
