Diagnose the real problem
Before I recommend anything, I determine what is actually broken, what the clock looks like, and which facts control the outcome.
Not for everybody. Not trying to be.
I don’t sell houses. I solve problems.
Creative financing. Short sales. Foreclosure. Problem properties. If the deal is complicated, that’s where I work.
Straight answers. Real options. No automatic assumption that selling is the answer.
Here is the deal.
A sign in the yard is not a strategy. Before I recommend anything, I figure out what is actually broken.
What I do
The house is only one part of the problem.
Money, time, title, condition, occupants, lenders, family, and bad decisions can all collide. That is where I become useful.
Build the right strategy
Pre-foreclosure, short sales, inherited property, liens, difficult occupants, deferred maintenance, and deals with a clock running all require different plans.
Create leverage
Buyers, investors, lenders, title, negotiators, contractors, attorneys, and other specialists become tools when the situation calls for them.
Execute the solution
A conventional transaction, cash deal, short sale, assumption, creative structure, or referral may be the answer. The facts—not a script—decide.
If your problem is that you want too much money for your house, I’ve got a solution for that too.
It starts with the truth.Situations I handle

I have deals. Bring clarity, credibility, and the ability to close.
I understand the difference between an actual buyer and somebody collecting addresses. If you know your box, can document funds, and make decisions, we can have a productive conversation.

For buyers
I am a weapon. Point me at the target.
My website is not going to send you houses. Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, and the other public-facing sites already do that. Use whichever one you like.
When you find a property you would actually buy, send it to me. I will evaluate the property, analyze the price and terms, identify the risks, build the negotiation strategy, write the offer, and figure out what it will take to get the deal closed.
I am not a glorified Uber driver. If you are still browsing, keep browsing. When you are ready to make something happen, point me at the target.
About Jon
Experience without the sales act.
I have closed deals in 26 out of the 50 states. I am an expert in creative financing, short sales, and problem real estate—the deals that require far more than putting a sign in the yard.
I am direct. I will tell you what I see, what I think the options are, and whether I believe I am the right person for the job. I work by appointment and take on clients when the fit makes sense on both sides.

Diagnosis before prescription.
I don’t prescribe the solution before I diagnose the problem.
If I were a doctor and you walked into my office with a bad ankle, you’d think I was an idiot if I recommended amputating your leg before asking a single question or examining you.
Real estate is no different.
I’m not going to tell you to list the house, accept a cash offer, attempt a short sale, or hand back the keys until I understand the facts. Money, time, title, condition, occupants, lenders, family, and your actual objective all matter.
I ask questions first. I determine what is really broken. Then I explain the real-estate options available and tell you which move I believe gives you the best outcome.
When the situation involves legal, tax, bankruptcy, or other issues outside my lane, I tell you that too—and direct you to speak with the appropriate licensed professional. I’m a real-estate broker, not an attorney, and I do not provide legal advice.
If you already knew the right solution, you wouldn’t need to call me.
