Executive Agent of the Month

Written by Haley Freeman - Ian Wiant Photographer

Jonathan operates as a solo agent, but he says the support he receives from his office is critical to his success.

“Our office is ran really well, and when customers walk in, they are welcomed by everyone. I have transaction coordinators, and sometimes other team members in my office assist me as buyer’s agents when I get really busy.

They help me take care of the client, but the client still gets me, and I negotiate the contract.”

F

rom the beautiful offices of Century 21 King, located just off the I-15 Freeway at Foothill Boulevard in Rancho Cucamonga, award-winning Realtor® Jonathan Perea is making client satisfaction his number one priority. With comprehensive industry experience spanning both mortgage lending and real estate sales, Jonathan is delivering service with distinction to clients in the Inland Empire and beyond.

“Being honest, diligent, reliable and giving service at the highest level - that pretty much sums up my job,” Jonathan says. “I am also transparent. I love that word.

With every transaction, whatever I know, my client is going to know, too.”

Jonathan keeps constant watch on changes in the financial and real estate markets, giving his clients an edge when selling or purchasing a property. With his expertise in contracts, he is an accomplished negotiator who handles traditional and contingent sale transactions with the same finesse, putting the parties at ease while managing the details through a seamless close of escrow. “Excellent communication is everything,” Jonathan says. “Selling a home is one of the seven most stressful things people do in life. If the person they’re working with is not communicating, the process is even more stressful. At the end of a transaction, my clients say they are so happy I made it all go smoothly for them.”

Raving reviews from clients across multiple online platforms, including Zillow, Yelp, Realtor.com and RealSatisfied, are a testament to Jonathan’s commitment to client service. While most review sites allow clients to give a simple star rating and leave a comment, RealSatisfied conducts a thorough five-page survey on every aspect of a real estate transaction before generating a rating. Jonathan enjoys five stars across all categories of Satisfaction, Performance and Recommendation. For the past two years, Jonathan has earned the prestigious title of Quality Service Pinnacle Producer.

Succeeding In A People Business Here Is What Some Of His Clients Are Saying: “Jonathan Perea presented himself very professionally at all times, and had answers to all of our questions. He was very timely and prompt with all communication and appointments. He delivered what he promised and walked us through every step of the way. I definitely recommend his services for buying or selling your home.”

“Jonathan is a super guy. He handled everything with no problem and delivered ahead of schedule. I recommend him highly. Jonathan Perea is easy to work with and was very considerate and professional during the selling of my house - stress-free working with Jonathan Perea.”

“Jonathan Perea is the best in the business! He sold my

home for top dollar and helped me find a replacement home. I would use him again.”

While much of Jonathan’s business is focused in Fontana and Rancho Cucamonga, his robust online presence draws referrals from all over Southern California. He understands how to leverage technology to promote his own brand, while also bringing greater visibility to his listings.

These days, Jonathan represents more sellers than buyers, and his financial background is a clear advantage.

“When I take a listing, I reduce the risk of the seller as they are going into escrow, because I can advise them in the right manner. There are lots of checks and balances I request up front to protect my sellers, and the work I put in ahead of time to prevent a potential escrow fall out..”

He is also highly selective about referring his buyers to the best mortgage professionals. “If my name is on that referral to a lender, I know the client will view me and the lender the same way. If the lender doesn’t follow through and do their part, it will tarnish my reputation. I’m very strict in regards to the lenders I have my buyers use.”

Jonathan’s professional expertise and polish are creating greater demand for his services in the luxury market. Many clients find him through his online brand, Beautiful Inland Empire Homes. “I am predominantly a listing agent now, and working with high-end clients means you have to up your game. You have to be familiar with custom finishes and building materials that are not used in standard construction, like marbles, travertines and deluxe appliances.

I dress professionally every day. I think that also makes a difference. It shows people that this is my profession, and I take it seriously.”

Jonathan’s rapport with other professionals is another key component to delivering world-class customer service, and he is always willing to help new agents learn the trade. “Sometimes an agent on the other side of a transaction is inexperienced, and they ask me for help. When you’re working with other agents, you’re really a team at the end of the day. You have to work together to get the job done. If I can’t work with the other side, I can’t service my client.”

Jonathan started his industry career as a young man in his 20s, and looking back, he says he was fortunate to have strong mentors who helped shape him as a professional.

“A big shout out to Larry Bloom. He’s an appraiser, and when I was getting into finance, he helped me understand more about the business. He still provides me with sold data, so when I’m doing a transaction, I can bring more than just the MLS and title comps.”

He also credits Broker Julio Cardenas and veteran Realtor® Andrew Espinoza for providing him with ongoing coaching and training. “If it weren’t for them, I probably wouldn’t be where I am today.”

Jonathan says he owes his deepest gratitude to his wife, Erica, his high school sweetheart from sophomore year.

“She’s the backbone of my business. You have to have a good support team to be successful in this business, and she’s like a life coach to me. She’s on my team, she’s awesome, and she’s also a super mom to our four girls.”

While Jonathan is a skilled advisor and savvy strategist, he never loses sight of the fact that real estate is really about people. “Real estate is a people business. That’s what I’m really good with. I see myself as a consultant.

When I’m sitting at someone’s kitchen table, it’s important that they like and trust me. People sense when you’re really with them and have their interests at heart.”
