We have now worked with Jon both buying and selling property. I myself am a Realtor in a different area, and know what "great" looks like when it comes to real estate agents. I've known Jon for more than 10 years and he is absolutely the first person who comes to mind when the topic of Denver real estate comes up. If you are looking for the kind of Realtor that another agent would personally hire, Jon is your guy. We cant say enough great things about him.

We have now sold 2 homes and purchased 3 with Jon and each transaction has been phenomenal. We have also recommended him to several people and they all have had equally fantastic experiences. He knows everything about every area, he goes to bat for you in every way possible, and takes the complexity out of the process. Our most recent sale, he was able to sell our home at asking price, amongst the holidays, with high interest rates, and with new construction in the area in under 30 days– while neighbors of ours were on the market over 6 months. He’s simply the best agent in the greater Denver area, whether you’re buying or selling.

Jon got me my house after 3 other agents failed because they were lazy and not aggressive enough. I was a first time buyer and he made the process less intimidating and felt 100 about my decision. Flawless experience.

Jon proved his worth throughout the entirety of the buying cycle. I’ve gone through several realtors and haven’t had the best perspective of them. Jon changed that and showed me that there are some great realtors out there. He was critical in pre-buying process - helping us understand the structure and engineering of the house for any potential demo work, creating the right offer, securing concessions, and ultimately saving me and additional $21k from being spent out of pocket at the final hour. Very highly recommend.

Jon was truly a pleasure to work with. He advocated for us throughout the buying process and helped us get our dream home in the highlands at an incredible value. He knows the local market and helped us understand what was important and what wasn’t throughout the buying process. I can’t speak highly enough of Jon!

Jon is not only a great mutual friend of my good friends, he's also been a great resource for me. I used Jon to buy my first ever home in the Sunnyside neighborhood of Northwest Denver, and since then he has supported me whenever I've had questions about being a homeowner, advising me on working on and upgrading my home, even recommending contractors, etc. Jon's a genuinely great guy, dependable, and good at what he does.

Jon Mottern is the GOAT of Denver real estate. Not only is he amazing to work with because he’s such a good human but he knows his stuff. Like really knows his stuff. If you work with him he will have your back and always put your needs and best interests first. I can’t recommend him enough. He made what is an otherwise insanely stressful process enjoyable, smooth and dare I say fun?

I had a great experience with Jon as my realtor. He helped me find a home in a fantastic Denver neighborhood, West Highlands, and made the process feel smooth and well supported from start to finish. I really appreciated his guidance, local market insight and commitment to finding the right fit. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home.

Jon is genuinely the best. I’ve now done 9 transactions with him and would happily do more. He’s down to earth, really knows the market, and isn’t pushy which we all know is important. On my most recent buy-side transaction he helped negotiate $50k off the purchase price. A realtor that is a family man, talented at his job, and can show you up on a mountain bike? Sold.

As a seller of a home in Paramount Heights, I had the opportunity to work directly with Jon Mottern, the buyers’ realtor and I cannot say enough positive things about the experience. From start to finish, he demonstrated exceptional professionalism, fairness, and integrity. His communication was outstanding—every question was answered promptly, and he kept the process moving efficiently. He was an excellent negotiator who always approached discussions with respect and a genuine commitment to finding solutions that worked for everyone involved. What impressed me most was his ability to create a cooperative atmosphere. He was knowledgeable, organized, and consistently focused on ensuring a quick and successful outcome for both buyers and seller. He also provided valuable referrals and resources whenever needed, which made the entire process significantly less stressful. I know from experience that Real Estate transactions can be complicated and overwhelming, but Jon's expertise, fairness, responsiveness, and professionalism made this one go very smoothly. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor who is ethical, highly competent, and truly dedicated to serving his clients while treating all parties fairly.

I've been working with Jon since 2016. When I first began the process I had a different agent tell me there was no way I was going to be able to buy a house, then I found Jon and I was under contract within weeks. Jon is so personable, knowledgeable, thoughtful, honest, and knows the ins and outs of the business. Over the last 10 years he has remained willing to answer questions that I have had about the industry even when I haven't actively been ready to make moves. I feel like in so many aspects of businesses these days, companies are just chasing dollars, but Jon makes you feel like he is fighting for you and not working to benefit himself first. He's the only choice if you value integrity.

Jon made a stressful two-sided move feel effortless. We bought our new home in Golden to make room for our growing family before selling our home in West Highlands, and Jon handled both sides with real professionalism and care. He was responsive, straightforward, and clearly knew the Denver and Golden markets inside and out. Thanks to him, we found the perfect home in Golden for our family and our West Highlands sale went afterwards. Jon also has the best references when it comes to everyone and everything you need (think lawn care to roofing to electrical to garage doors and more). Highly recommend Jon to anyone buying or selling in Colorado.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience working with Jon. He helped us with two home transactions (so far!) including the sale of our previous home in Arvada, CO and the purchase of our new home in Wheat Ridge, CO. Both transactions I would describe as atypical in the fact that it required some finessing to get the deals handled. Jon took on those challenges, communicated well, was responsive to our questions and was a true advocate for us. He made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. We’re happy to recommend him to anyone buying or selling in the Denver area and look forward to working with him again!

It's been over a year since I sold the home I absolutely loved in Paramount Heights( Wheat Ridge, CO) and Jon Mottern was our real estate agent. He did a great job! Its got to be hard when someone thinks their house is the bomb but the real estate agent has to, with all their knowledge of the market, what people are looking for and the market quickly changing, let their clients know that maybe not everyone wants a record room. He did a great job of getting us to modernize our house a little bit but keep the character. And he made us feel he valued the character of the house and the neighborhood. Paramount heights is known for 50's style homes with big yards and great views and Jon truly seemed to get all the good things it offered! Thanks Jon! It was wonderful working with you.

Seriously, greatest realtor in the world. Jon makes shopping for a home very fun, low stress, informative, and easy. He is extremely experienced and knowledgeable. It's obvious that he has done a lot of work and always does his research. He listens very carefully to his clients. He was always making sure the things that are important to us were met. He always caught things that should be considered that we wouldn't have noticed or thought of. True story, the first day of going out and looking at houses, I said " did I mention that we need to be moving into a new house within four weeks?" Hahaha... Jon put it in high gear and made sure I was looking at houses constantly for the next two weeks. He met our deadline, helping us move into a new home two days before the lease ended on our apartment. He also recommended Rio at elevations Credit union, which was a whole nother amazing experience that helped us get a good rate and closed within four weeks. Don't look any further if you need a good realtor. Jon and his team found us exactly what we didn't even know we wanted. Dream house

The Denver housing market is crazy right now but Jon made the process easy and stress-free. I was a first time home buyer and Jon patiently walked me through the entire process and helped me to find my dream home and make a competitive offer. He is friendly, professional, experienced, and has lots of integrity. He puts the stereotype of shady realtors to shame.

Jon has helped me find not one, but two properties in the last year. He always provides honest feedback on every place we look at and approaches the transaction as a friend rather than just another sale. He is knowledgeable, friendly, responsive and insightful. I value his opinions and know that once the purchase is completed he is still available for any and all questions. I’m looking forward to the next time we get to work together!

Jon was absolutely brilliant. We chose him because of his familiarity with our neighborhood and us--selling our house was a very personal process, and Jon was a tremendous pro. We live out of town, and didn't even have to come to Denver until closing. He went above and beyond, working with our property manager on some pretty hairy move-out issues. If we ever move back to Denver--or he expands his area of service--he'll be our first choice hands-down.

Buying a home is stressful, especially in this crazy Denver market. Thankfully we had Jon to help us navigate this huge purchase. There were several times we felt defeated and like we wouldn’t be able to find the right place, but Jon stuck with us and showed us places at the drop of a hat until we found the perfect one! He always comes with knowledge about the area and home. We feel like we’ve not only made a great purchase but gained an awesome friend! And he’s great with kids which is an added bonus! Thanks again, Jon.

My partner and I had been searching for a home for over 2 years in the metro denver area and had switched between different agents until we finally met Jon. We had placed mutiple offers to no avail. Jon is considerate, attentive, knowledgable, honest, responsive and most of all engaged. He helped us close on a house on 2/1/18 near Olde Town Arvada! Not only do we recommend him, he’s invited to our housewarming! If you’re looking for someone to help you find the right house in the metro denver area and close the deal, call Jon!

My husband and I thought we could sell our house in the Highlands on our own - its a hot neighborhood and our house ideally situated. We were wrong; we tried and failed miserably. We contacted Jon and we got a second opinion from another agent who shall go unnamed. Let's just take the high road here and say that we are so very very thankful that we chose Jon. We felt that he believed in our home and in our vision of what it was worth. I have no regrets and much praise for our experience with Jon. Thank you ever so much Jon. It was stressful, as I know every real estate transaction must be, but you made it as easy as I could hope for. Best wishes.

I cannot say enough about working with Jon. He absolutely knows the areas of town, he was always responsive to both email and text, and in a market that can break souls and dreams he knocked it out of the park. I was hunting in the most sought after inflated market in Denver as a first time homeowner with limited range and funds. I was skeptical of even trying, in fact another agent had essentially told me I had no chance in hell and she refused to work with me. I shortly called up Jon, we started working together on Fridays and two week later I was under contract in the area I wanted and well under my budget, in a house that needs nothing. I believe 110% that if I was not working working with Jon, I would still be house hunting or have given up completely.

I literally did not even know that real estate agents could be so wonderful. Without a doubt, we will be using Jonathan for each and every real estate transactions we have moving forward. Jonathan was always warm, professional, incredibly on top of things, always willing to take as much time as needed to answer questions, and in many ways went far beyond the call of duty to help make sure that everything went smoothly and that we felt taken care of. He is knowledgable, approachable, and really, really good at what he does. I almost want to tell you not to work with Jonathan because I want him to always be available, but I like him too much to do that. If you're looking to buy or sell a home, I promise, there is no one who will take better care of you than Jonathan will.

My husband and I met Jon at a house he was showing one day this fall. While that house was not the one for us, Jon was definitely the realtor for us. Jon's a straight shooter, he'll tell you what he thinks of a place honestly and not just tell you what he thinks you want to hear. This was incredibly helpful and comforting to us as first time home buyers. We never felt pressured to settle or to make an offer. Meeting up with Jon he was always punctual, well informed about the house and about the area and became a friend to us through our home search and ultimately our home buying process. He's someone we connected with instantly and trusted to negotiate on our behalf and explain real estate and home buying jargon to us. We ended up purchasing the first home we put an offer on, and in this competitive market we have Jon to thank for landing us the perfect starter home. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a real estate agent in Denver.

The idea of selling our home and buying a new one at the same time was scary for us, but Jon made the experience enjoyable and painless. His constant communication and availability to chat or answer questions kept our minds at ease and made us feel totally comfortable with our choices. He was always there without ever pressuring or rushing a decision in any way. He was extremely patient as we decided what we wanted and quick to move when we were ready. Additionally his negotiation skills are out of this world. Once we decided we were ready to sell our old home and put in an offer on a new one, things moved quickly and efficiently. We were able to get into our dream home in a neighborhood we never thought was possible, and he sold our old house for more than we ever expected! We’ve worked with other realtors in the past, and I can confidently say they just don’t compare to Jon. I wouldn’t dream of using or recommending anyone else when buying or selling a home!

I listed my house For Sale by Owner on Zillow, because my home was in an excellent location and I thought I could sell it easily myself. This proved to be harder than I thought. Once I listed my home, I received many calls from agents wanting to sell it for me. I was turned off by most of their personalities and approaches. Jon was different, however. He approached me with a down-to-earth and helpful attitude that helped me immediately trust him. He made an offer I couldn't refuse, so I knew his negotiating skills were excellent! Jon went on to further prove that he was always on top of things for me and he saved the day more than once whenever issues arose with the sale. He has a hands-on approach that I greatly appreciate. Jon's intuition and recommendation when it came to choosing a buyer was spot-on! In the end, Jon procured more money for me than I would have on my own, all while being an excellent help in the process. I'm so glad to have met and worked with him!

Buying a home is an extremely daunting process, and in our case, it was even more so due to the fact that we had just moved across the country to live in an area we had only previously visited once. Luckily, we were connected with Jon Mottern, who not only assuaged all our fears of the unknown, but also got us excited about the process. Jon is extremely well-versed in the Denver market and when we told him what we were looking for, he crafted a search that only yielded the results that were suitable to us. On occasion, when I found something outside those parameters, he was always willing to discuss it while still being honest about how it would or would not meet our needs. At no point during this process did I feel any pressure from Jon to make a decision. He was always available to take us on tours and on more than one occasion when walking in a home, he could tell by the look on my face that it just wasn't right, and he insisted that we not waste our time. When you know, you know - and Jon is a big proponent of that follow your instinct school of thought, which I truly appreciated. It didn't matter how many homes we immediately turned down on sight, he always had another option for us, so I never felt like our back was against the wall. When we were really ready to get serious about making an offer, Jon was prepared. He met us the day after returning from his vacation in Paris, jet lagged yet still completely motivated and ready to put our needs first! That Sunday we fell in love with a home and he immediately got to work on writing an offer that we were comfortable with so we could submit it that night. He also gave us his honest opinion about the home and what he thought might make it difficult for resale down the road, which I sincerely appreciated. I never got the impression that he was just in it for the sale but instead felt genuinely taken care of throughout the whole process, knowing he had our best interest in mind. Jon truly puts his clients first - he was in constant contact with us, even while on vacation, and wanted to make sure that the home we ended up in would be exactly what we wanted. Thanks to his negotiation skills, we were able to attain a credit from the seller and go under contract $10k under list price! I could not recommend him more! If it wasn't for Jon, my husband and I wouldn't be moving into our dream home - within our price range, in a family neighborhood and in a great school district! We will never use anyone else!
Buying a home is an extremely daunting process, and in our case, it was even more so due to the fact that we had just moved across the country to live in an area we had only previously visited once. Luckily, we were connected with Jon Mottern, who not only assuaged all our fears of the unknown, but also got us excited about the process. Jon is extremely well-versed in the Denver market and when we told him what we were looking for, he crafted a search that only yielded the results that were suitable to us. On occasion, when I found something outside those parameters, he was always willing to discuss it while still being honest about how it would or would not meet our needs. At no point during this process did I feel any pressure from Jon to make a decision. He was always available to take us on tours and on more than one occasion when walking in a home, he could tell by the look on my face that it just wasn't right, and he insisted that we not waste our time. When you know, you know - and Jon is a big proponent of that follow your instinct school of thought, which I truly appreciated. It didn't matter how many homes we immediately turned down on sight, he always had another option for us, so I never felt like our back was against the wall. When we were really ready to get serious about making an offer, Jon was prepared.
