Selling my family’s lake house was emotional and overwhelming, but Jon Hazeltine made the entire process so much easier. He was supportive, compassionate, and always there every step of the way, while somehow keeping things light when we needed it most. Jon was our rock while navigating the whole process of getting the home ready to sell and was always a quick text away. I’m truly grateful for all of his help.
I worked with Jon Hazeltine to sell my home in Caravelle Village, and I’m truly grateful for his support. Being out of state made things a bit tricky, but Jon was incredibly responsive and kept everything moving smoothly. He walked us through each step, from marketing our home creatively to expertly navigating the bidding war. I still remember his honest advice on pricing, which really paid off — we sold for the highest price ever on our street! It felt like he was in our corner the whole time, making us feel at home throughout the process. By the end, it felt like we our family had someone on our side. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
I worked with Jon Hazeltine to sell my family's lake home in Allegan. He helped us understand the process and relieved us of a lot of stress by helping us figure out how to present the house in it's best light. While we prepared the home for sale he was our biggest cheerleader. He responded to texts/questions quickly. I like how laid back his demeanor is because I didn't feel like i had to put on a professional face with every interaction. Would definitely recommend working with Jon, and I would definitely use him again in the future!
Jon really enjoys helping people and will take the time to understand your specific wants and needs. He's easily accessible through your preferred methods (text, phone, email). He is a great advocate in any real estate adventure!
Incredibly helpful in getting us the best deal possible! Very efficient, responsive, and has a great network of resources from contractors to inspectors to mortgage brokers. Jon makes it easy to buy or sell property. 5/5 would recommend.
Jon is enthusiastic about finding each client a great match and fit. Excellent advocate and communicator who seeks to understand each client. Confident but never pushy, he is a great support in any kind of real estate endeavor.

I have completed a number of real estate transactions with Jon over the years, and I have always found him to be very knowledgeable, helpful, and easy to work with.
Excellent experience. Willing to work to perfect.
Got us an impossible deal.
Great and responsive! Our agent showed us homes at a moment's notice in this busy market. We were able to find a house quickly, and they gave us exactly what we wanted.
Personable and aggressive. They went after everything we asked for and got it. Nearly every time there was a hangup in negotiations they already had a secondary and tertiary plan to make it all work. We were the mission and they were squared away from the beginning. They even helped us work the deal while we were on vacation - real commitment. They knew a VA loan while transitioning out of the military could have hangups, and recommended local mortgage companies that know the town and people better. They set the bar very high for real estate agents!
Best agent you could ask for. They help not only with the transaction in question, but physically helped me with repairs, painting, logistics, and moving - way above the call of duty. They attended quite a few open houses, and when offers came in they were very knowledgeable about how to respond. During negotiations and communications with buyers they were always on point, always available, and gave excellent advice throughout. I've never seen an agent take such a hands-on approach to getting a sale done. Highest recommendation possible!
The buying and selling process was beyond easy with this team! They listened and used their expertise to make sure we were buying the right home. They truly have your best interest in mind throughout the process! I highly recommend you contact them for all your buying and selling needs!
Our agent was there with our family every step of the way. They know the market and how to negotiate what's fair on both the buyer and seller side. They are also very knowledgeable with home remodeling and made some great suggestions which were a great asset to our home choice. I would highly recommend them to anyone!
Our agent is very professional with an excellent blend of kind and friendly! They truly care about listening to and meeting the needs of their clients. They are willing to answer all of our questions, even if it means getting back to us with the answer. We felt well guided throughout.
Jon is very professional and a man of his word. It was a pleasure to deal with him when I sold my condo. Unlike a lot of people in the real estate industry he does not take his clients for granted and always makes his clients' best interest his priority.
Jon makes things happen and gets it done quickly! He works with a fast team, is on top of his game, and responds incredibly fast to messages and phone calls. It was great to have the confidence that Jon was working hard on my behalf to get me where I wanted to be.
Jon was able to quickly decipher our goals for the purchase of a home and aggressively pursued the scheduling of home visits. We rate Jon as 5 stars in all categories.
We are so glad we picked Jon to help us sell our property. He is highly knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly; anytime we reached him he answered our questions almost immediately. He delivered exactly what he promised. We sold our condo in no time, stress free. Simply outstanding!
Jon was great. He truly looked out for our best interest and was very helpful throughout the whole process. Overall a great person too, and he made the house hunting enjoyable for me and my fiance.
Jon was an absolute pleasure to work with - helpful, knowledgeable, and with a real passion for what makes up a neighborhood. As a small family, he helped us consider purchases in an amazing housing development in the Forest Hills area, and helped us weigh the pros and cons of condo living with children. Highly recommend this realtor!
Jon did a phenomenal job selling our home!! He was extremely knowledgeable about the market and pricing, and sold our house in just two days!! The whole process couldn't have been easier and everything was accomplished over a meeting and a few phone calls and text messages. Amazing service, couldn't be happier!!
Our agent was extremely helpful in selling our home. They demonstrated extreme patience and professionalism in their interactions with our buyer's extremely rude and difficult realtor. It is likely the sale of our house would not have succeeded if not for their tenacity in dealing with several difficult situations. Highly recommend!
Jon showed me some houses for my wife and I to upgrade to, and I had a really great experience with him. He understood my needs and wants and was able to find some really fantastic local options for me to look at. We looked at fully finished homes and a few that needed full remodeling. I was surprised at Jon's knowledge in both areas, as he's remodeled some himself. I really appreciated his near-immediate response times to my questions. I will certainly return when my wife and I sell. Thanks Jon!
It was such a pleasure working with Jon. I truly felt that he worked with us in our best interest. We wanted to close pretty quickly and Jon really helped us meet our quick closing date even though it was the holiday season. He also connected us with an inspector and mortgage lender who did great work. He is such a great and knowledgeable guy and I highly recommend him to anyone, especially first-time home buyers like myself!
It is certain that Jon's real estate career will be long and successful. He breaks the mold in an industry overloaded with average professionals - he's on top of things, understands the reality of a deal, and above all, Jon is conscientious. Jon Hazeltine is thoroughly trustworthy, a pleasure to work with, and he'll get what you need done.
Jon is very knowledgeable, highly professional, helpful, and wise. He was very thorough in showing us a home and answering all our questions. I would highly recommend him.
Jon brought a unique set of skills to the table that made it easy to navigate the big question of whether to purchase a house in a community we were becoming more familiar with but didn't have intimate experience in. He facilitated discussions with insightful questions that led to identifying and eventually purchasing a property that was the perfect fit. Jon's business-minded approach, familiarity with the area, and creativity really brought things full-circle for us. He is committed to follow-up and being available; he is passionate and all-in. Right before the deal closed, he negotiated the selling price down several thousand dollars based on repairs that needed to be made. I would trust Jon on any future real estate purchase!
Jon was an amazing guy to work with. The whole process was simple, efficient, and painless. The best part was the use of technology - no meeting multiple times to sign documents or arrange showings. Everything was handled electronically which made my life as the client a whole lot more convenient! I would recommend Jon without reservation because he keeps his clients' interests first and foremost.
Jon has a great understanding of property value and of the real estate market in general. He knew what we needed to do to get our house sold quickly and for a great price. Absolutely recommend, and will use again!
Jon sold a house for my brother and I, and neither of us lives in the city where the house is located, so all the transactions were long distance - and he handled the details beautifully and closed on time. Jon has a knack for explaining offers and giving the right advice given the local market. Highly recommend Jon for selling your property.
Put my home on the market in one day. Even did the professional pictures the same day we signed a contract! Easiest realtor I have worked with. If you're looking for a great real estate agent, look no further!
