Jon Iddings – King Realty Group

I highly recommend Jon Iddings of King Realty Group if you are considering buying or selling property in San Francisco or surrounding areas. Jon is very responsive, clearly knows the market, communicates a clear strategy from the beginning, and somehow always found time for me, even on short notice.
I had worked closely with Jon for 2 years prior to my decision to sell. He kept me in the know regarding sales trends, advised me on my remodel, and discussed the pros and cons of selling in today’s market. And he did all this for me without any pressure. When it finally became time to sell, the decision was easy.
Jon helped me with staging and preparation, and was hands on every step of the process. He used an aggressive yet savvy approach to sell my condo, which sold for a price that had my friends doing a double take. Jon played it like a chess game, always anticipating every move before it happened. For example, when it became clear that an accepted offer was going to blow up, Jon locked in a solid back up offer in advance so we were able to step seamlessly into a great offer that did close.
Working with Jon also gives you full access to the owner and principal broker of King Realty Group, Lance King, who came to my unit several times to give his input on construction, marketing, and staging. Having full access to a team of professionals who get things done was very reassuring in a volatile market.

I can’t tell you how grateful I was to be recommended to King Realty Group and Jon Iddings. I jumped into the home buying process as a first time buyer during one of the most competitive markets San Francisco has ever seen and really didn’t know what I wanted. While figuring out what part of the city I wanted to be in wasn’t too difficult, I had more trouble articulating exactly what type of unit I wanted. Jon was incredibly patient and very helpful in narrowing this down — small building, outdoor space for my dog as well as some patented San Francisco charm.
After showing me many, many units and me rejecting many, many units, Jon found a condo that met all of my primary criteria and fit my budget. We worked together to construct an aggressive, yet fair offer and I came away an excited first time homeowner in a sunny neighborhood with a backyard full of fruit trees. During my lengthy search, I felt comfortable asking any question, however basic, and never felt rushed into making an offer on a place I didn’t love.
Bottom line is that working with KRG and Jon Iddings made what could have been an extremely stressful process seem painless. Not only did Jon make the chaotic buying process seem smooth, but I came out on the other end with a home that I love more and more every day.

To say that Jon was instrumental in the purchase of my house would be an understatement. After having worked with 4 agents in 7 years, Jon was such a welcome change to the usual real estate agent schtick.
Instead of just sending a link to MLS listings and going MIA until you were ready to place an offer, Jon actively helped me search for new houses that might be of interest – including new areas I hadn’t considered – and made every effort to meet me at each open house to walk through it and talk about it with me. I never felt like I was on my own, nor did I ever feel like he was somehow doing me a favor by taking time to show me houses or answer any questions I had.
In the end, it took me over a year to find and buy a house, and Jon was patient throughout. Though it looked almost hopeless in this crazy SF market, he stuck with me and made me feel as though I were his only and most important client. In fact, I can’t ever remember him even taking another call when I was with him for an appointment.
Don’t let his easygoing demeanor and constant smile fool you; Jon is every bit as hardworking and aggressive for his clients as someone who acts like a jerk.
