Making Second Homes My First Priority for 28 Years

“Jon Clark is a superhero to us. Owning a second home five hours away can often be anxiety provoking and over 25 years we have dealt with nor’ easters and microbursts that have left us with trees fallen over the driveway to 8 inches of rain in the basement. If it weren’t for Jon looking after our home, we would have had more sleepless nights. As part of managing our property, Jon walks through the house as if it was his own. He has been known to sweep floors after things have fallen off the walls after the roof was replaced or simply turned up the heat and turned on the lights for our return visits. These years have been not only a professional relationship but a heartwarming and personal experience. This is the key to how he approaches his business. He views his service career like a yogi approaches life and that is “selfless service.” He is constantly paying it forward. This is what culminated in using Jon as our real estate agent. He supported every decision we made and advised and advocated for us each step of the way. As a real estate broker, he financially covers a list of required items himself as a benefit of his service to you. This might seem minor to some but as I said before, if you put your trust in his work he pays it forward to others. There are so many things I can say about Jon from his frequent weather reports for second homeowners to alleviate anxiety, to pretty much holding our hands throughout the selling and closing process. Once we left our beloved home for good, he personally did the final sweep up and made sure all was perfect for the new owner. Superhero is an understatement. Super conscientious, super attentive, super person, super friend, super advocate! “We are ever so grateful for having had him in our lives.”

“Hiring Jon Clark to sell our home was the absolute best real estate decision we have ever made! He is hands down the best realtor we have ever worked with and believe me, we have worked with plenty over the years. We honestly feel blessed to have found him. We initially hired Jon as our property manager for our home in Truro but then shortly thereafter decided to put our home on the market. Jon’s business model is that he will manage the property for free for the life of the listing. What we didn’t realize was that included paying for all the inspections and repairs inherent to the sale. Jon paid literally thousands out of pocket to cover these expenses! And if that wasn’t enough, he also contributed $5,000 at closing as the buyer’s price didn’t reach our “bottom line price.” Jon understands what it means to earn your business and will do what it takes to get the sale done. He is also very a responsive realtor who would return our emails and texts immediately. This was such a refreshing experience after the last realtor we worked with who took days to respond to my emails and wanted me to pay for the pastry for her broker’s open house. Jon is also very responsible and pays attention to detail, so we didn’t have to worry that something was going to “fall through the cracks.” Not only is Jon a very professional and effective realtor but he’s also a very intelligent and witty person to speak with. In summary, I would say working with Jon Clark was an absolute pleasure! I don’t know why anyone buying or selling a property on the Cape would want to work with anyone else. We just hired him again to help us find a new home on the Cape closer to our new grandchild. Kudos to you Jon!””

“We recently worked with Jon, and it was, BY FAR, the best experience we have ever had. This was our 10th real estate transaction, and we had been completely underwhelmed by the real estate industry to date. It has felt like a very transactional business, lacking the personal touch, honesty and accountability that you would expect for such a personal and emotional experience. Jon changed all that. He is unlike anyone in the business from both a personal and emotional standpoint. On a personal level, there is no outer shell, you know what you are getting from the minute you meet him. Not only does this make for a pleasant experience, but when things get difficult, as they inevitably will during a transaction, knowing who you are dealing with, and that you can trust Jon, is invaluable. On a professional level, he has broken the mold of what we know to be the real estate brokerage business. Take a read through his website, about covering innocuous fees, coordinating cleanouts, taking care of things that he doesn’t want credit for and you only find out about later….it’s all true. If you want an experience where your opinion is important, where you can trust the process and feel really good at the end, you should reach out to Jon. It was such a good experience that I now consider Jon a friend and will go out of my way every chance I get to find him more business.”

“Because of Jon Clark I am writing this review from my new home. Jon went above and beyond to get me into the home of my dreams. The short version of a long story is this, Jon was the Realtor with heart. He was the seller’s Realtor and I was the buyer, and when push came to shove he was the one that was there for me and to his own detriment. He put me before himself and followed through with all of his promises even when it cost him money and caused him stress. He communicated throughout the entire deal and worked day and night to get the house closed. Even after my team let me down missed a deadline and threw the deal out the window, he got it back on track. He listened when I explained that I loved the house and trusted my word, talked to his sellers and because of their trust in him they gave me a second chance. He worked and re-worked the timeline and the numbers until it worked for both parties. Though it sounds extreme it is true, this man alone, restored my faith in people even when the process failed me. If I were ever to recommend a Realtor or property manager it would be Jon Clark. He has recommended professionals to do professional work with carpentry, construction and landscaping and he was right every time. When I didn’t have a clue where to begin with local professionals he talked me through it. I am grateful to know Jon and fortunate to have him in my corner.”
