Jon Mahoney - Director, Keller Williams Luxury [Santa Barbara Real Estate] - Santa Barbara, California

Clare McWilliams

We had an experience on a rental property this summer. We made an offer a lease agreement that was accepted, and with minor modifications pending, the lease agreement was pulled without any explanation or communication. Jessica Moriarty and Jon Mahoney never gave us the courtesy of a return email. Our family experienced financial loss due to moving expenses. Their actions were unprofessional and unethical. If you rely on sensible and fair communication, I suggest you go elsewhere.

There are so many realtors in Santa Barbara that can sell your home or help you buy one, but none come close to the professionalism and integrity that Jon Mahoney has. From the moment you meet him, you feel his main priority is you. Somehow he can tell exactly what YOU want and where you stand. He will lock on with that drive and determination until he has found what works best for you. Jon makes an emotional and sometimes overwhelming undertaking seem so much easier. You know you can put your trust in him and have the confidence that he can handle it all. We will always recommend Jon not only for his hard work and knowledge but also because he is a decent, honest man

Jon Mahoney is a great broker, and got me more for my condo than I expected. I left the area before I was able to finish everything I needed to do to put my house on the market, which complicated this process for me. In addition, I was moving into a new job that was extremely demanding of my time, leaving me with little scope to take care of the many details involved with selling my house.

Therefore, I relied on Jon even more than I would have under normal circumstances. He coordinated with contractors and the rest of the homeowners association to finalize details and obtain documents I did not have. He set up showings and open houses and only involved me when he needed my input. Even more, he always had a suggested course of action when there were important decisions to make.

However, he was not hands-off. He always made time for me and responded quickly when I had questions about issues and process, and he were honest with me at every step. He also used an extremely efficient and intuitive document management system, which allowed us to respond to offers and counteroffers in nearly real-time, reducing my administrative burden to nearly zero. Given my time and travel constraints, he helped make this entire process much less demanding of my time and much less stressful than I expected it to be.

For a variety of reasons, selling this unit was challenging. He was incredibly persistent, and despite several setbacks you managed to generate several full-price offers. In the end, the unit sold for only $4000 below full asking price, which was much more than I expected to receive. I am certain that his skills as a salesman and negotiator, his knowledge of the market, and his determination are responsible for selling my unit for full price. I honestly don’t know how he did it, but I’m glad he did. And through all of this, I enjoyed working with him.

In short, I was extremely satisfied with the service Jon and his team provided. I would strongly recommend Jon to anyone buying or selling property in the Santa Barbara area. I can’t imagine that there is anyone out there who does it better.

Jon did an excellent job managing our real estate transaction and getting us the best deal possible. Going into the transaction, I thought of three possible situations: one bad, one OK (most probable), and one REALLY GOOD but certainly a pipe dream. Through Jon's excellent negotiating skills and persistence, the pipe dream became a reality!

Jon has tremendous knowledge, experience and patience. You tell him what kind of home you want and find you one. He is also great negotiator. Loved to work with him!
