To Prospective Buyers and REALTORS®,
We are out of state buyers who recently purchased a townhome in Tucson, Arizona using the services of Jon Quist.
You gotta ask for this guy! We term him "one stop shopping" Jon. He is truly a full service Realtor. He can find a solution to every need you may have. For us, he handled roof repair, window replacement, carpet company, painter, handyman, locksmith.
That's just the icing on the cake. Fact is, he's an excellent Realtor and a very congenial person.. He really knows the market and the property. Ask him any question about construction, materials, neighborhood and he knows the answer. He'll even explain historical data and all sorts of trivia that can help you make up your mind.
He's a great negotiator. He knows the "ins" and "outs" of the market, advising when to bid and what to counter. And he's aggressive. He really represents his client to get the best deal for them.
Most importantly, he listens. He didn't waste our time showing off his knowledge of the area or property not fitting the bill. He zoomed in immediately to what we wanted and our price range. He doesn't push and he doesn't use scare tactics to force you into a decision. As we said, he listens. If you want a certain type of neighborhood, that's what he'll show you. If you want certain ambience, that's what he'll show you. Then when you're ready to buy, he does all the work for you, making sure you get what you're entitled to. . . and then some. As we said, that's when he gets aggressive, suggesting what the buyer should be asking for. And if you forget to ask, he'll remember for you.
And he goes above and beyond the job. Ask him anything, "can you let the painter into the house", and he'll do it if possible.
One thing, better to let him drive. He's a race car driver if you're following in your own vehicle!

Dear Jon,
Since I still shamelessly use your services, I'm grateful for the opportunity to share my homebuying experience.
Good-looking web-site!
"I shopped carefully for an agent when I was ready to buy a home, interviewing several Buyer's Agents, as well as double agents (those who work both sides of the street). Jon Quist was ideal for me. He is responsive, not controlling, supportive, not pushy. He's not interested in taking you where you don't want to go and listens carefully to your requirements. If a property looks doubtful for some reason, he tells you plainly what the problems are. However, if you fall in love, he'll do everything he can to make it work. Jon is patient, tireless and highly competent. I recommend him without reservation."
I could go on and on if you need more stuff... ;-}
Thanks for everything.

From Doug and Patricia, and Cheryl, of course!
I have recommended Jon Quist to several of our friends here in the Tempe area. Last year, we were looking for a townhouse near the University of Arizona for our children. The last time we bought a home, our agent reminded us that he worked for the seller and not us.... not a comforting situation. Jon has a written agreement that clearly states he is working for the buyer, not the seller.
I don't know how many townhomes we looked at, but Jon was always on top of any new listing. Jon helped us purchase the house, and even took the extra step to put us in contact with the right people to recarpet and repaint our home.
Thanks Jon.
