    “Jon is a fantastic realtor to work with. He was able to answer any and all questions and was patient when the process became overwhelming. His expertise calmed my fears. He negotiated a great deal for us with the sellers. We are so happy with our new just right for us home! If anyone asks for a realtor, we will be sending them straight to Jon!"

    Brenda Malnack

  • A landscape of rolling mountains bathed in warm light, with a blue sky and fluffy white clouds above, and a rural village at the base of the mountains.

    "Jon was absolutely amazing to work with! Buying and selling a house is supposed to be one of the most stressful things you can do, but Jon made it feel as smooth and stress-free as possible. He was fully involved in every step, kept us informed, and always made sure our family’s needs came first. Jon genuinely cares about his clients and is always available whenever you need him, which made the entire process so much easier and reassuring. While Jon led the way, Nicole was also a huge help—always responsive and organized—which made the whole process run even more smoothly. Together they made a fantastic team, but it was Jon’s personal touch, dedication, and genuine care that truly made the experience outstanding. If you want a realtor who goes above and beyond, treats you like family, and is always there when you need guidance, Jon is the one to call!"

    "Jon was a great real estate agent to work with. I am glad our paths crossed. Having a new born and being a first time home buyer I had a lot of questions and concerns. Jon was always there to answer my questions or explain the process. He has a solid circle around him to (Becky Wishart) who will help bring you home and close on time. 10/10 Recommend."

    "Jon was indispensable in helping us navigate our first home purchase. He genuinely cares about his clients and made sure we understood what needed to happen every step of the way. He made suggestions of different lenders, inspectors, and insurers which helped us feel prepared and covered on all sides. He even gave us a housewarming gift basket and keeps up with us even though it's been years since the purchase! Should we sell our house or look for a new one, we will absolutely utilize Jon's services. Highly recommend."

    “I cannot recommend Jon Poole enough for anyone looking to buy or sell a property! He recently helped me purchase a property in Sparks, Nevada, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, Jon stood out from other transaction-focused realtors by prioritizing long-term relationships over a quick sale. He went above and beyond to answer all my questions, no matter how small or detailed. His knowledge of the local market and his genuine desire to ensure I found the perfect property were evident in every interaction.

    "I listed my house for sale with a local real estate agent on August 10, 2024. The lady agent was very nice, but after 6 months and a few showings, it did not sell. I pretty much wasted 6 months. I then contacted Jon Poole and had it listed with him. Within 6 days of listing, I got a valid offer. I couldn’t believe it. I found out that after the listing went live, he and Becky Wishart had done extensive marketing to get the listing some attention. Apparently, that worked. I am so pleased that I chose Jon and Becky Wishart as my listing agents."
