What buyers and sellers say:

"I have worked with many real estate agents in the past and never have I worked with one more competent, knowledgable or professional than Jon Varnedoe. Jon sold our apartment in record time during a difficult market because he held numerous open houses and followed up with every potential buyer. Most importantly in a deal that turned out to be challenging to say the least, Jon kept on top of all of the details and never ever lost his sense of humor. He saw the deal through to the end and was always responsive to my numerous e-mails and calls even when he was officially off-duty. I give Jon Varnedoe my highest recommendation and would encourage any potential seller or buyer to engage him as your agent." Ken B 

"Jon helped us purchase a unit in Gramercy Park-had perfect understanding of the market and inventory-worked patiently with us-negotioated expertly on our behalf-handled problems cheerfully and promptly." John D

We were lucky to have Jon representing us. He was extrememly attentive, pleasant to deal with, kept his word, and seemed to fully understand the responses and intentions of prospective buyers for our apartments. Mary L

“I recommend him to everyone. He has that one quality that defines great brokers, he can really listen. He knew what I wanted and found my perfect apartment in 72 hours.” Amy K

"Jon Varnedoe shepherded me through the sale of my East Village co-op with unparalleled attention to detail, follow-through, and a no-nonsense approach when it came to difficult decision-making, such as how to market the apartment and when to cut the price.

I appreciated that - unlike a previous broker - his expectations for the sale were realistic and, sure enough, our accepted offer was spot-on in terms of what he estimated the unit would finally sell for.

I believe his knowledge of the East Village and expertise in the market make him one of the best brokers out there. And I adore Jon's mix of professionalism and friendly personality - he always keeps the process from being overwhelming with his organized and trustworthy nature.

To this day I continue to recommend Jon to friends who are either looking to buy or sell in NYC and though it's been almost three years since I sold my three-bedroom, 6th-floor walk-up, we still keep an active dialogue about one day selling my current apartment... when the time is right!… Erika T
