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!

When working with Jonathan to find our first home, we found
Jonathan to be extremely knowledgeable regarding
Abbotsford’s neighborhoods and homes. Jonathan always made
himself available for us, and was very prompt and efficient.
He listened well to our needs and concerns, and found us a
great home! We highly recommend Jonathan to all our family
and friends!

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.
