Jon was great. Very easy to get to know with a lot of local knowledge. He gave us great insights based on past experiences blended with a good sense of where the market was heading. Going into the negotiation he was able to put himself in our shoes while also pushing to get us the best value possible.

Jon did a great job. I just got up one day and started checking possibility of owning up. My credit score was not great. Just okay. I told Jon I wasn’t sure I could do that but I was looking in the future. He was patient and assured me there was no harm trying. He took me round the following day on Saturday. We checked some houses. The last house we checked I liked the model. Now I told him I wasn’t sure...

Jon was an absolute pleasure to work with. We connected with him through the viewing of a property listed on Zillow, and ultimately he became our realtor and guided us through our recent purchase of a townhome in SW Portland. Jon is incredibly detailed, professional, and thoughtful in his advice and communication. We trust his knowledge base and understanding of the local market - and beyond that he is a...

I cannot recommend Jon enough! He was a well of knowledge and kindly held our hands through this new and overwhelming process. Jon listened to all of our needs and never made us feel pressured. Not only was he beyond informative and helpful as a realtor, but we also truly enjoyed his company! I have already recommended him to twice to other folks dipping their toes in the housing market. THANK YOU JON, w...

Jon is absolutely amazing to work with. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. From listing the home to searching for a new house, negotiation on both, he was there every step of the way. I cannot say enough good things about Jon.
— Bella Sirena Blackburn
Jon did a fantastic job! As a first time home buyer I had a ton of questions and Jon was always super attentive of them. He did a great job of helping me find a spot that fit my budget in a nice neighborhood. I was able to take advantage of a few new construction programs that really helped stretch my budget and Jon helped guide me through the whole process. I would recommend Jon to anyone.
— Jake Crahan
We just closed on our lovely townhome and I am so grateful we had Jon Kettering as our amazing buyer's agent. We met Jon in the spring of 2023 when we were looking to move to the Portland metro area. He showed us a bunch of different properties that met our criteria. We ended up renting for the first few months after moving - Jon recommended this so we could get a strong feel of the area. After we mo...
— Anna and Rick Allen
Jon was a great match for my partner and I! As first time home buyers it’s a bit intimidated to get out there and start looking. Jon explained to us every step and walked us through it with ease. He also recommended our mortgage officer to us who we also love. Jon listened to what we were looking for and always was willing to go at whatever pace we needed to go. He always replied in a timely manner to my...

Jon was really great to work with- he knows a lot about the Portland area generally, and also about the home buying process. He's very responsive and thoughtful, and I thought he gave me great advice.
— Sujata Pagedar
My wife and I just closed on a home and we couldn’t recommend Jon highly enough. We are first-time home buyers and Jon made the process incredibly easy. He met us where we are and happily answered all of our beginner questions without ever talking down to us or making us feel stupid. He also really listened to our wants and needs and only showed us properties that checked all of our boxes. Picking Jo...
— Erik and Nicole Skinner

Jon, was very patient with me, he answered all my question as a first time buyer.(I had a lot of questions) I am happy to say because of Jon I found my forever home and I love It!
— Dani Harton
We had the pleasure of working with Jon to buy our new home this year, and we’re so glad we chose him as our realtor. He went above and beyond at our first meeting (and all other meetings) to go over what we were looking for in a home, what areas we wanted to look at, and what he thought we might want by looking at the house we were currently living at (who knew we needed a pantry? Jon.). He gave us so m...

Jon did a great Job! Our property sold in just a few days and he kept us updated during all steps of the selling process. I would recommend him to anyone.
— Michael San Pedro and Kelly Knutsen
As a small business owner, my time is my most precious commodity. When I decided to take the plunge into the world of home ownership, I knew I needed a realtor who not only understood the intricacies of the Portland market but also respected my schedule. From the moment I met Jon, I knew I was in capable hands. Jon’s knowledge of the different neighborhoods, from the vibrant heart of downtown to the sere...

I had the pleasure of working with Realtor Jon Kettering during the purchase of our very first home in Portland, Oregon, despite being based in Los Angeles, California. I cannot express enough how grateful my family and I are for his exceptional expertise and outstanding service throughout the entire process. Despite the distance, Jon went above and beyond to ensure that we were well-informed and involv...

From the very beginning of our house-hunting journey to the final purchase of our dream home, Jon was there every step of the way, going above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. What truly stood out about Jon was his unique perspective and keen eye for finding hous...

Jon was incredibly helpful and made the process of selling my father's house simple and painless. He was friendly, professional, and full of good advice. I'll definitely be using him for any real estate needs I have in future and would recommend him to anyone.
— Sam Wardwell and Morgan Peterson
Jon was fantastic to work with through every step of our selling process. He had obviously done research on our neighborhood before our first meeting, even touching base with our original builder (who is still active in the development) He was quick to respond when we reached out with questions. He seemed to have a great rapport with the buyers' agent and provided solid advice throughout the negotiations...
— Mike and Judy Pfluger
As a first-time homebuyer I did not know what to expect during the process. Jon was a calming force from the beginning. He has in-depth knowledge of the area and took the time to really understand what I was looking for even though I didn't know! He was always on time, communicated frequently and had my best interests in mind. I highly recommend working with Jon, the processes from beginning to end was s...
— Jessica Belcher
Jon was an amazing agent to work with. He first researched houses that met our requirements; then he took us on countless trips to see a gazillion properties, sometimes more than once. He was always available, knew the details of each property and communicated very clearly. All of this was extremely helpful, especially because my wife and I were new to the Portland metro area. He was patient, professiona...
— Ettore and Judy Pasquini
Jon was so amazing throughout the homebuying process. He is very knowledgeable and definitely does his research! He knew so much about all the homes we looked at and was instrumental in helping us decide on our first home. He is extremely friendly and very responsive to all of our questions. We will definitely be using Jon for our next home purchase as well!
— Luke and Louise Schneid
Jon was such an incredible agent to work with! Not only did he find us our perfect first home, but he helped us understand the entire process from initial search, to negotiations, to pros/cons of each place, and beyond everything was signed and closed. His ability to navigate our crazy 'must-have/deal-breaker' lists and endless questions had us feeling confident in our search in an otherwise intimidating...
— Hannah Gambino
As first time buyers, my partner and I were pretty overwhelmed at the process of purchasing a home. It's a lot of money, and it's a big decision. Jon was a tremendous aid from start to finish. He was attentive to our parameters, honest about our options, and thoughtful in our decision making process. Ultimately, he helped to land us in our dream home (he says he knew it was the one before we did :)). In ...
— Marnie Mclain
When my husband and I were first looking for a house, we stopped in to an open house that John was showing and told him about our plans and timeline. Even though he knew we weren't planning to buy for several more months, he spoke to us for over an hour about the ins and outs of home buying, what to look for, and how to prepare. He is attentive, kind, and patient (especially with us anxious newbies). As ...
— Michael Lehmann
My wife and I worked with Jon to buy a home in the spring of 2020 and we had an amazing experience! Jon was knowledgeable, responsive to our concerns and questions, and worked with us to find a house with all the "fixings" we were looking for. I recommend Jon to everyone I talk to that is thinking about real estate because of his continued support over two YEARS after buying the house. If we ever need an...
— Tim Szot
Jon did an outstanding job helping me find a house when I moved to Portland. He was knowledgeable about the real estate market, flexible around my schedule and a pleasure to work with in every way. He spared no effort in finding me exactly the place I was looking for and advising me about the pros and cons of other properties. The inspections, negotiations and closing all went smoothly and I am very happ...
— Caroline Greenwood
We had such a good experience working with Jon! We would recommend him again and again. He helped us navigate the home buying process in a calm, patient and supportive way. He worked diligently through the many updates and repairs that were being done on our house before closing and was such a warm presence through a scary time as first time home buyers. He gave us space to make our own decisions without...
