My niche is finding the very best deals on the market through an analytical perspective. I have a degree in accounting and formerly worked for KPMG LLP. This helps me in taking a very different approach than that of the typical Realtor.

I work with appraisers and utilize appraisal software so that I’m only looking at the top 1% of deals out there. While I find that for which my client is looking I help them find the "Best of the Best" in terms of deals.

Example: I have a client looking to buy in Irvine. There may be 100 houses for sale. Some of them are overpriced, some are priced right, and some are priced too low. Out of the ones priced too low, I try to find the top five or six homes and look at those with my client in person. Many times, they are $30,000 or $40,000 undervalued which leads to instant equity or improving net worth instantly.

Homes.com Review

Jason helped us to purchase our first home. We were literally clueless about the home buying process and had some very complicated tax and property transfer issues. We needed his expert guidance with these before we could make a purchase. He was so patient with us while we searched for our dream home. We sought second opinions, and waffled between buying and waiting for the perfect moment to purchase our first home. We first tried another agent but felt pressured to hurry up and make a decision which we weren't ready to do just yet. We needed more tax advice and the agent we started with made lots of guarantees. When we researched his claims, we found that a lot of what he was saying was made up just to encourage us to hurry up and buy. We would have lost a lost a lot of money and possibly faced serious tax consequences if we had followed the other agent's advice. This is when we found Jason through a friend's recommendation. Jason is so knowledgeable about all the tax and financial implications of purchasing and transferring properties. He thoroughly laid out all the possible scenarios but always encouraged us to get second opinions and often clearly explained he was not qualified to advise us in certain areas. Jason simply shared what he knew which turned out to be far more than most of the professional second opinions we paid for advice. He has provided us with endless referrals for everything from financial advisors and property managers, to handymen and house cleaners. Once we finally decided to purchase a home, Jason was so available! We felt like he worked solely for us. He was available and eager to take our calls and emails 24/7 during this process which was both scary and exciting for us! We were a bit of a headache at times but Jason made us feel like every question and concern was the most important thing to him. We were in a bidding war against someone else for our dream home. Jason wisely suggested the exact number to win us the bid. We even discovered that he was in the middle of escrow on multiple houses while we were purchasing ours but we never would have known it by the level of service he provided. Even once escrow closed, and we had moved in, Jason continued to be a huge support for us. We discovered the termite company hired by the sellers did not do an adequate job repairing wood rot and the company was being very difficult. Jason didn't waste a minute going to bat for us by letting the company know that unless the work was done to our full satisfaction, he would warn all his future clients not to use this company. He also involved the sellers' agent who spoke up to the termite company. Jason really helped us to get the best deal on an amazing house while never making us feel pressured or hurried. He spent many months patiently guiding us and showing us countless properties long before we even decided if we were ready to purchase. We would recommend Jason to anyone! He is smart, friendly, patient and really knows how to get things done the right way! We can't say enough about our experience with him. We are convinced he is the best there is!

Homes.com Review

This is the third time we've used Jason - first to buy a condo, then later to sell it and buy a single family home. Jason was endlessly patient with us as we looked at homes and neighborhoods, offering thoughtful feedback and insight without ever being pushy. He was very dependable, on time, sent paperwork when he said he would, did everything accurately, returned phone calls. He was also a great resource for us for all manner of service professionals, from mortgage brokers, inspectors, handymen, painters, etc., all of whom met the same high standards that we always received from Jason. He's genuinely friendly, and considering you'll spend many nights and weekends together, that was a big plus. He helped us navigate the timing and logistical challenges of selling and buying at the same time, and guided us through both negotiations. In the end, we found a house that far exceeded our expectations and sold our property over our list price. We always felt that Jason was an advocate and teammate for us and we couldn't be happier with the results. Matt & Reba Neil Lake Forest, CA
