If you work with Jon Mahoney, get ready to make a friend. Born and raised in Santa Barbara, my husband and I were very familiar with all Santa Barbara Real Estate and Goleta Real Estate and therefore we were intent on visiting homes in all neighborhoods before making our final decision. Without hesitation, Jon took on the challenge to show us a wide variety of homes. We visited more than 50 homes after work, on weekends, and whenever it was convenient for our schedules - Jon made himself available. Ultimately he helped us find the one and now, three years later we can always count on Jon stopping by with his signature baked treats during the holidays.

Jon Mahoney- The "BEST MAN" in Real Estate
The year was 2009 and boy was it busy! In the midst of planning our wedding my husband-to-be took a position in Santa Barbara and we needed to find a home!. It was our great fortune to meet Jon Mahoney! His level of service and professional commitment was unparalleled. He took us on a personal tour of all the different neighborhoods, showed us a wide variety of homes in different price ranges, and even showed us where to get a great Italian meal. He patiently answered all our questions, took every phone call, and never left our side through the challenging economic crisis of '08-09. His professional stance and unswerving focus helped steady our nerves as we juggled wedding invitations and mortgage applications.
Not only did he get us our house, he got us an AMAZING house that was perfect in every way for us. He knew how to help us because he took the time to get to know us and understand our needs. Although John wasn't the best man at our wedding (Randy already had one picked out or he may have been!) he was, and is, the "BEST MAN" in real estate, for Santa Barbara.
Sincerely,
Drs. Randy and Tara Torralva
Happy clients since 2009
Thanks Jon for selling my house so fast in this incredibly tough market! Can't believe how well you negotiated the deal and worked so hard to get the process completed on such a tight schedule. I doubt many agents in the city could have done the same. If I ever buy or sell a house again, I hope to have you in my corner!
Thanks again!

We first met Jon Mahoney at an open house in 2005. We had a dream of home ownership in Santa Barbara but with specific expectations on a budget! He told us then he didn't care how long it took; he would help us to realize that dream. True to his word he kept in contact over the next four years. He would send updates on market trends and details on homes we might like. When the market took a downturn we knew it was time to act but we still wanted a house with the "wow"
factor. Jon found us that house and negotiated a great price. He then helped us to obtain financing in a tough credit market and introduced us to a contractor who added those special touches to our new home at a reasonable price.
Jon exceeded our every expectation. He patiently worked with us for over four years. Due to his efforts we are now the proud owners of a home on the Riviera with the terrific view we wanted.

Jon Mahoney has helped make our dream come true: a Santa Barbara beach house near our children and grandchildren. As residents of Monterey we were toying with the idea of purchasing a second property, and beach homes with full ocean views come across only “once in a blue moon.” A small house was going to be listed after Christmas of this past year. Multiple offers were placed on this house, but Jon acted quickly to write and present an offer immediately. Although he had out of town family visiting for the holidays, he met with us on Christmas Day and set the transaction in motion. His many contacts and his respect in the real estate community gave him the ability to have our offer presented and accepted within 2 days. Truly a miracle, given the desirability of this little gem. He helped us arrange for financing at once—again a miracle in these tough times. The rate was extremely desirable and the entire transaction was completed in record time, much to the delight of the sellers. He has spent many hours going over every detail with us and advising us not only on the transaction, but the remodel that we are planning. His ideas are invaluable. Jon is not only our Santa Barbara Real Estate Professional, but our friend for life. We highly recommend him to find the right property, at the right price, and complete a no-hassle transaction.

Jon- thank you for "jumping through hoops" to help us take the next step in our life!
Buying and selling a home in the same year in Santa Barbara takes patience, knowledge and a partnership with a professional who works full time to look after your best interests. Jon was dedicated to tirelessly showing our home, negotiating offers at all hours of the day, and navigating a changing real estate market.
We couldn't have done it without you!

Buying or selling a home can be overwhelming. Having a capable agent who can successfully and efficiently navigate you through this process is imperative. Jon Mahoney is not only a highly competent and knowledgeable representative; he is a caring individual, committed to serving your best interests and insuring you are confident in your real estate decisions. Jon made buying our first home such a positive and stress-free experience, when we recently began looking again we didn’t hesitate to give him a call. He helped locate the perfect home for our family and his dogged negotiations allowed us to get a deal we never imagined possible. His experience allows him to make the inspection and escrow process as effortless as possible, anticipating potential problems and dealing with them before you even know there is a problem.
I would encourage anyone thinking about buying or selling a home to call Jon Mahoney. His dedication and loyalty to us as clients, has grown into a lasting and cherished friendship and we will forever be grateful for his help in making a dream of ours, a reality. |

Dear Jon,
Sandy & I want to thank you for working
with us for the past two years. First helping us
sell our condominium in Santa Barbara. You were very
diligent and kept in touch with us so we knew how it
was going. It was rough because of the economy and
the large assessment that was asked by the Board but
you found someone who wanted the place and sold it
quickly with a two week escrow. Who ever heard of
such a thing!
Then this past year when we decided we
wanted another beach property and I called you, you
went to bat for us again. I called in July and by
August after 4 weeks we not only found a place in
Oxnard but went through Escrow. You were there when
we needed to speak to you and you tried to help us
with our loan as well. We couldn't have asked for a
more trustworthy and competent realtor to help us.
We are very happy with our new beach
townhouse and community and know we will spend many
years there in complete content.
Thank you for your diligence, sense of
humor, and just being you.

Sincerely yours,
Ricki & Sandy Bergman

Jon Mahoney’s name came to my attention this past summer while on a week-end retreat with my church. One of our financial leaders, Allan Anderson, was sitting with us on a park bench and upon hearing my long term plans to consider a home purchase in summer 2008, he couldn’t say enough about one of our church members, Jon Mahoney, realtor for Coldwell Banker. Because of Allan’s enthusiasm, I knew Jon was a person I would eventually contact. Not necessary. By Monday morning, I had received a follow-up “introduction” call from Jon. Although we played the usual phone tag with our busy schedules, all my phone messages were promptly returned .
I truly believe I could not have been put into better, more competent hands. He is a go-getter. Upon first meeting Jon, I knew he had all his ducks in a row and my intuition told me that through all of Santa Barbara’s networking, he was the man to know. Let’s just say, my one year plan turned into an afternoon, with my fiance, Rick and I sitting in Jon’s office writing a contract. My knowledge of previous home buying was limited, and literally with my consent, Jon took over the reins. I felt like my best interest was Jon’s number one priority of his day. He led me to stellar financing, and reputable first class resources along the way that helped all the necessities run smoothly. Not only has he been there for us through all our closing details, and deadlines and confusing paperwork, but Jon is someone I would not only be proud and confident to refer to all my friends, but also to anyone coming to town who is looking for THE BEST. He is a take-charge kind of man, knowledgable in every detail and wants the best deal for YOU. |

While Jon was helping us looking for an investment property, our needs changed. Jon’s flexibility enabled us to find our new home much quicker than we expected.
Thank you for your fast and professional service! |

It has been my personal experience that the vast majority of realtors can be placed into one of three categories. We have those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who are completely oblivious to that which is happening. I have coined Jon Mahoney the “Miracle Man”. He is a mover, a doer; one of those unique individuals. I feel it is Jon's unparalleled work ethic, profound knowledge, and amiable nature that enable him to make ones dreams become reality. Jon offers an invaluable service as a realtor and financial advisor as he is always willing to sit down with me at length to discuss the big picture. Despite his popularity as a realtor I never get the feeling that he is too busy for me. In fact, I feel like I am his most valued client, which interestingly is the feeling of a few other clients I have had the pleasure to meet.
If you're in the market to buy or sell, or merely desire to speak with an individual of vast knowledge in regard to market trends or maybe establish a personalized financial plan may I recommend that you be kind to yourself by giving Jon Mahoney an opportunity to change your life as he has mine. |
