Trent was an excellent agent for us as first-​time home buyers. He was knowledgable about the market, patient with our requests, and was very responsive. He made the home-​buying process easy. Furthermore, he was straight forward throughout the process. I would highly recommend him to other home buyers, first time or otherwise. Thank you Trent!

Looking for a home with Trent and Ando is like having a family member at your back. They went to the city records for me do do research, they helped me find contractors who did good jobs, they spoke with an oil company for me. (The property was a complicated one, as you might have guessed.) They advocated on my behalf at every turn.
My point though, is that at all times I felt like they were on my side, that they were willing and happy to do all kinds of work on my behalf. I never felt rushed or pressured. It was clear to me that they wanted me to be happy with my purchase and that they really meant it and that it wasn’t just about the money but about integrity as well. This was a great experience.

This was my third house. As such, I have interviewed and dealt with dozens of real estate agents over the years. A few are friends. Real estate is funny: you can find agents running the gamut from hobbyist housewives to the completely clueless to the downright unscrupulous. And then there are the all-​too-​rare professionals like Trent. I have yet to meet his equal.
I have no doubt that if anyone other than he had been handling this sale it never would have gone through. Obstacles abounded. Multiple and sometimes troublesome parties were involved in what was a very complex equation. Trent waded right through all of it with aplomb. On the rare occasion when Trent wasn’t available, Andro was right there to carry on.
I cannot speak highly enough of his performance. If you’re buying or selling in the Ojai area you’d be nuts to work with anyone else.

Not long ago my husband and I decided that we would like to purchase a home in a senior community. We asked Trent to list our condo in Ojai and to negotiate a buy of the property. Unfortunately, the property we were interested in showed up with several problems that were not to our liking so we decided not to go through with the deal. Trent recommended the inspector who was very complete with his remarks. Trent handled our whole situation with masterful grace and professionalism. Trent and Andro are the most sincere realtors we have ever worked with. They often said that they wanted to do what is best for us and they did

On my first visit to Ojai in 2007, I met Trent Jones at Ask Now Investments. He’s a no nonsense Texan with a heart bigger than Alaska. It was this trip that planted the seed of potentially leaving our current home in Brooklyn, NY and moving to Ojai. The listings that Trent tirelessly sent me wouldn’t be on sites like
until at least a day or two later. I felt like I had real valuable, exclusive information that I wouldn’t have been able to get without working with an actual realtor.
We weren’t easy customers to please. We had very specific criteria for the kind of house we wanted, and of course, a very tight budget.
Five years later, Trent sends a listing for a house and says, «You should take a look at this property.» It satisfied so many of our requirements, we were astonished. We decided to take the plunge.
His relationships with local lenders /​escrow companies made this transaction so incredibly smooth, compared to our experience of trying to buy property in Brooklyn, NY, this felt like a cool breeze on a hot summer day.
I am glad to say that we are now first-​time homeowners and if I had to do it all over again, it would most certainly be with Trent Jones at Ask Now Investments.
