We are out of state buyers who recently purchased a townhome in Tucson, Arizona using the services of Jon Quist.

You gotta ask for this guy! We term him "one stop shopping" Jon. He is truly a full service Realtor. He can find a solution to every need you may have. For us, he handled roof repair, window replacement, carpet company, painter, handyman, locksmith.

That's just the icing on the cake. Fact is, he's an excellent Realtor and a very congenial person.. He really knows the market and the property. Ask him any question about construction, materials, neighborhood and he knows the answer. He'll even explain historical data and all sorts of trivia that can help you make up your mind.

He's a great negotiator. He knows the "ins" and "outs" of the market, advising when to bid and what to counter. And he's aggressive. He really represents his client to get the best deal for them.

Most importantly, he listens. He didn't waste our time showing off his knowledge of the area or property not fitting the bill. He zoomed in immediately to what we wanted and our price range. He doesn't push and he doesn't use scare tactics to force you into a decision. As we said, he listens. If you want a certain type of neighborhood, that's what he'll show you. If you want certain ambience, that's what he'll show you. Then when you're ready to buy, he does all the work for you, making sure you get what you're entitled to. . . and then some. As we said, that's when he gets aggressive, suggesting what the buyer should be asking for. And if you forget to ask, he'll remember for you.

And he goes above and beyond the job. Ask him anything, "can you let the painter into the house", and he'll do it if possible.

One thing, better to let him drive. He's a race car driver if you're following in your own vehicle!
