When I started considering selling my condo, I knew I would contact Jonathan. Jonathan had helped me purchase my condo 2 years earlier and I couldn’t have been more satisfied with the experience. Jonathan met me when it was convenient for me and had an amazing binder prepared with all the information I would need when listing my place. I was very happy with the services provided and loved the staging appointment! After a very short time on the market, I got the first offer for my condo and Jonathan negotiated an amazing deal which I accepted! The offer was exactly what Jonathan promised me he could sell my condo for and I couldn’t have been more ecstatic. Jonathan is my realtor for life!!!

After listing with two different agents unsuccessfully, I had thought about calling Jonathan to sell my house and when I did call him I was not disappointed. He was prompt, well prepared and what struck me the most was his own statement which was "I'm not here to sell your home but I am here to MARKET your home to the best of my ability.” And that is exactly what he did! From the time it was listed, marketed, and sold was less than 3 weeks!! He was on top of it and had it sold quickly and professionally. Jonathan took the time to listen to my needs, always returned my phone calls promptly and never made me to feel that I wasn’t important. I would highly recommend Jonathan and his team to anyone who is thinking of selling. Thanks again Jonathan!

We were referred to Jonathan by a co-worker, and working with Jonathan was a pleasure! His understanding of our needs combined with his knowledge of the local area resulted in the very successful purchase of our first home. Jonathan negotiated a very fair deal for us – we didn’t expect to save as much as we did! He was very accessible and promptly answered all our emails, texts, and calls. Jonathan was friendly and diligent, and we would highly recommend him to our family and friends who are looking to buy or sell!

In a time inundated with realtor’s, and during a buyer’s market – choosing the right realtor is extremely important! As such we interviewed several potential realtors before deciding on Jonathan. Jonathan’s personalized approach and property assessment combined with his proactive marketing campaign made him the right agent for us. Within day a day of signing; photographers, virtual tour photographers, and interior designers we're getting our home ready for the market. Jonathan’s fast and aggressive approach resulted in our house being sold in a short 16 days. It is our belief that Jonathan’s professionalism and expertise is the reason we were able to sell so quickly as we watched other houses sit on the market. In the end we got 98% of our asking price, and never had to resort to a price reduction. Although we do not plan to move again for another 20 years, if and when that time comes we will once again call upon Jonathan and his team taking comfort in the fact that his market and area knowledge, his marketing expertise, and his proactive approach to listing will result in a quick and economically uncompromised sale.

I want to thank you for finding us a new home in Abbotsford! Moving from Ontario to BC seemed a daunting task, but all your efforts helped in making a smooth transition for our family.

I highly recommend Jonathan to anyone looking to buy a home, especially if they are coming from outside BC. Having to conduct our business long distance made it very important to have an agent we could trust and who understood our needs. During our initial visit to Abbotsford, you showed us a range of houses to help us get a good feel for the city within the context of the current housing market. We appreciated your insights and recommendations regarding the home we finally purchased.

We were most impressed by all the support you provided after we had actually purchased the home. Where other agents might have felt their job was complete, you returned to the house to take digital photos to email us; you took measurements of rooms to help us plan our move, arranged the home inspection, provided utility and services information, helped inquire about schools, and found a great renovator to help with some work once we moved in. This outstanding service is why we would not hesitate in recommending you to other prospective buyers and sellers!

Jonathan came recommended to me by my agent in Hope. I found Jonathan very pleasant, helpful, and not pushy - and he listened to my likes and dislikes and tried hard to find exactly what I wanted. His staff were very friendly and helpful! I appreciate how he answered my questions I had regarding the apartment before I moved in, and I could get a hold of him at any time of any day. I highly recommend Jonathan and when my parents are ready to sell their home they will be calling Jonathan!

When it came time to sell our home, we knew that we wanted an agent who could get the job done well and quickly.
We interviewed three top local agents and received a wide variety of price suggestions, spanning $60,000!! Jonathan provided one of the best and complete evaluations and despite being the highest in recommended price, he showed us how he justified the price and also how we could make our home more presentable. He also told us we could fire him any day if he came back with a large price reduction!

Once we completed the recommendations that he and his interior designer provided, he proceeded with the marketing and managed to bring us two offers and a FULL PRICE sale in only 4 days! We are extremely pleased with the results that Jonathan achieved, and most highly recommend his services to anyone.

We contacted Jonathan and he showed us different properties to purchase. He was always accessible, never afraid to respond to our inquiries, and continuously acted as a second set of eyes during the viewings, pointing out details we missed. Most importantly, we felt Jonathan worked for us. Not only did he work to negotiate the best sale on our condo, but he continued to get us the best deal on a house. Call Jonathan Gelderman… he will always call you!

We had been looking for a new home for the past two years with another realtor. Throughout that time we had viewed many houses, but did not find one that suited our needs. We were looking for a nice family home in a quiet neighborhood in our budget, which can be difficult to find! It came to the point that we just stopped looking at houses, as we could not find a house that we could see ourselves living in.

Then we decided to seek a new realtor. We had heard of Jonathan before, and his newspaper ads always looked appealing. Finally we decided to contact Jonathan and that is where our dreams became a reality! Within two months, after about 20 viewings of various homes, Jonathan found our dream home! And not only did we purchase our dream house, we also sold our condo by Jonathan all in a span of two days!

If you are looking for someone who will listen to your family’s needs; who will accommodate to your schedule; assist you to sell your home; and most importantly find your dream home, Jonathan is the realtor you want to choose!

I have spent 5 years in a professional capacity working with all realtors in the lower mainland and when it came time for me to sell my own personal home, there was absolutely no conflict in deciding who to use to list my home: absolutely, 100% Jonathan Gelderman.

Jonathan was the first choice for me. Jonathan is the only realtor I know in a professional capacity that actually answers his mobile phone whenever I would call as his client. If I needed to reach him, he was there and ready to answer my questions and discuss all issues with me.

Jonathan listened to my requests and views regarding my listing and selling price and negotiated exactly what I requested in less than a week. You couldn't ask for better service or negotiations! Jonathan is the best realtor in all the lower mainland hands down. He sold my home for the exact price that I wanted in a week at the time when the market was less than generous to sellers. He is the most fantastic, professional, timely, driven, knowledgeable, marketable, consistent and reliable, readily available realtor I have dealt with. He's the perfect choice.

If you want professionalism and 100% satisfied results-choose Gelderman! He actually takes the time to care, inform and listen to his clients and take care of each client as if it was his only client (which couldn't be farther from the truth). He is honest, reliable and consistently provides fantastic results again and again which is why he is the number one realtor in the lower mainland and the only choice for a seller or buyer!

Jonathan is a wonderful real estate agent!! He was quick to respond to our phone calls and arranged for us to view the very same day we contacted him. He was very knowledgeable about the market, and he helped us to secure the house we wanted even though there were other offers on it!! Jonathan made our first home buying experience very pleasant!

Jonathan was referred to us by a friend; we gave him a call and within days were looking at homes that suited our needs in the area we coveted. We actually ended up buying the very first home we looked at! My wife and I found that funny, however with the questions Jonathan asked us beforehand, it really made life easy for both himself and us in figuring out what we wanted. We would definitely recommend him to a first time home buyer, or anyone in the market for a home!

We can not thank you enough for all the hard work and dedication that you put in to helping us find our dream home!
We were very impressed at how on top of things you were. It sure made the process easy because you were able to work around our busy schedules all the time. You were great on the phone, were very knowledgeable about the Abbotsford/Chilliwack areas, returned calls promptly, met us to look at places on short notice and were here for us at a drop of a hat! Even though our deal was going through over the Christmas Holidays and when you were expecting your first child, you were still here for us every step of the way! You were always thorough and efficient with everything! Your personality shines and we were so glad to have found you! Through it all we felt like we came out of this process with our dream home and a new friend! Thanks a million Jonathan!!!

We would highly recommend Jonathan Gelderman to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. We found him to be very hard-working, knowledgeable and prompt at responding to calls and emails. He effectively sold our house in a short time for over $8,000 more than our listed price and negotiated a fantastic deal on our new home $15,000 below what it was listed for!! He always made himself available to answer any questions and calm any fears that we had. Needless to say, if we do this again, we'll be calling Jonathan first!!

Jonathan did a fabulous job helping us purchase our first condo! He was always on the lookout for new opportunities and was able to show us places that weren't even advertised yet.  Once we had settled on a property, Jonathan negotiated for us a price below what we wanted to start our offer with!  He is a real estate pit-bull who we recommend to anyone looking for someone who will work hard to get the job done.  We won't hesitate to use his services again in the future!

Jonathan Gelderman was the realtor who made buying a new home and selling our old house a breeze! He was very patient with us in finding a new house, and always arranged for us to see new places in short order. Jonathan was always fabulous about returning calls to us promptly and answering any questions we had. He also managed to sell our place in four days, $15,000 over the list price!! Even throughout the moving process, Jonathan made sure all the little details were taken care of and that we had settled well into our new place. We would totally recommend Jonathan Gelderman as a realtor to anyone, due to his hard working ethic, punctuality and promptness! Give him a try - you won't be disappointed!!

This was my first big purchase in my life... Buying a Home!!! Jonathan filled me in step by step along the way. I was very apprehensive about purchasing a condo due to all the “leaky condo” problems we have been having in the lower mainland. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable with every condo building in Abbotsford, but he managed to get me into a condo that I never thought I would be able to afford! He connected me to a great mortgage broker, and helped to get make the unthinkable happen! He is a fantastic negotiator, very hard working and professional. Thank you for making my first home purchase experience a rewarding one! I most highly recommend Jonathan to anyone thinking of buying or selling!

We just want to thank Jonathan for all of his hard work! Although we decided to sell by owner he still took the time to meet with us and continued to follow up with us. Thank you for helping us to find a new home, and helping us to close the deal on our old place! Cam and I are very impressed by how you all went the "extra mile" and we won't hesitate to spread the word to our family and friends! Thanks again!

In the fall of 2007 we were preparing to put our property on the market. Many thoughts ran through my mind. What value do we place on our property that has been home to us since 1972? How do we arrive at the right market price in today’s economy? What agent do we use, especially in light of the fact that I have lived and done business in Abbotsford most of my life. Do I go with a realtor that I have known for many years, or do I interview several and receive an evaluation from each one? While contemplating these decisions, I received several "free evaluation" notices in the mail. One of these came from Jonathan Gelderman. In fact, I received and entertained five of these offers. I tell you all of this just to say that without question, Jonathan's presentation was the most professional, most thorough and complete. His presentation was by far the most impressive of any! I would highly recommend Jonathan.
