An agent you'll love.
A price you'll love more.
Save thousands and write offers that win with a 1% commission agent.
Today's homebuyers used Zillow and Redfin to house hunt on their own terms. So why are buyer agents still charging 2.5% or 3%?My model is simple: you find your dream home, then I'll do the rest.I handle everything that you actually want an agent to do: prepare a winning offer, negotiate smartly on your behalf, protect your deposit during the escrow process, and ensure a successful close.
And my fee is just 1%.

A No-Brainer Comparison
| Working with Jon | Working with a Typical Agent |
|---|---|
| ✅ 1% commission | ❌ **3% commission |
| ✅ No up-front commitment | ❌ Requires a signed contract up-front |
| ✅ View homes at your own pace | ❌ View homes with an eager agent over your shoulder |

How Does It Work?
How do I provide amazing representation while charging just 1%
You do the house-hunting
This is the fun part! I'll give you the know-how to hit open houses and showings like a pro. Schedule your own showings anytime for a $50 fee.
I get involved at offer time
When you've found a home you love, just give me a call! I'll connect with the listing agent as we prepare a knock-out offer. I'll submit the offer, negotiate on your behalf, and handle any counter-offers.
I'm there through the end
Once we open escrow, I'm your guide and fiduciary through closing. I interface with all parties to make sure your deposit is protected, deadlines are met, fires are extinguised, and we reach a successful closing. I got you.
With help from a local
My incredibly low fee is available anywhere in California. When needed, I enlist a vetted, local agent to be my boots on the ground. I do 95% of the job at my desk – and I have the last 5% covered, too.
What is Blueprint?
I became a real estate agent because I didn't like working with real estate agents – but they always seemed to know a little more about the process than I did.So for my clients, I'm building Blueprint, a step-by-step guide through the homebuying process. It's like a to-do app for homebuyers.And each step includes short video lessons. You'll know exactly what's happening, what decisions you have to make, and what's coming next – every step of the way!Blueprint is an added bonus when you decide to work with me. So let's talk about working together!
