Kim Smith recommends Jon Cota

We wrestled with the empty-nest decision to sell the home where our kids grew up. In working with Jon and NextHome, a process that we’d dreaded for years became a few short weeks of amazing ease. We felt confidence and trust at every step.

In Jon, you get the deep knowledge & experience of his multi-generation real estate legacy. In NextHome, you get the fresh energy & tech savvy of a top-rated real estate franchise. In the local team, you get genuine collaboration and a desire for all to succeed. A win-win-win, and we couldn’t be any happier. THANK YOU!

Jerry Robichaud recommends Jon Cota

Jon handled the sale of our house with an openness to our concerns and needs that we greatly appreciated. We had a few developments that arose with our property that he helped guide us through.

Jeff McLaughlin recommends Jon Cota

Jon is a great real estate agent and a wonderful person. I was nervous to purchase a house and didn't even know what questions I should be asking. Jon listened to my thoughts and concerns and gave me candid advice and realistic expectations for finding a home. The house Jon found was not one I had seen on websites and was perfect for me and my daughter.
I will only work with Jon in the future and recommend him to anyone serious about selling or purchasing their next home.

Jon helped us to purchase our first house several years ago. Being new to the whole process, Jon never drop our hand.

Paula Paradis recommends Jon Cota

Having lived in our home for 44 yrs, my husband and I felt a little overwhelmed and hesitant about putting it on the house market in order to downsize and simplify our lives. Jon Cota was recommended to us by our son, who had great success in selling and purchasing his home a few years ago. Jon was more than knowledgeable about our area's real estate market, He gently guided us over a period of months to address a few house updates and reconsider the true value of the house. Having lived so long in one home, we were letting our emotional attachment to home make a few decisions that we eventually rectified, thanks to
Jon's experience and patience. Our home is now sold and we are in the process of signing off on a condo, that will meet our needs and desire to downsize and simplify our life. Thank you Jon. We are most grateful that you led our way! Alan and Paula

Chuck Spencer recommends Jon Cota

I contacted Jon because he gets it done. He sold my first house when 2 other Realtors could not. He was 5 months. The other Realtors had a year each. Jon was able to sell my 2nd home just as quick. It can be overwhelming with all the details the average Home owner is not up to speed on. Jon made this as easy as it could be. He kept us informed every step of the way. Excellent job Jon. Thank you and your little dog too. I would Highly Reccomend Nexthome and Jon Cota to anyone selling their Home. Thank you Jon.

Jon was outstanding in representing me both in the purchase and years later, sale of my home. He knows the market better then any other and cares about his clients.

This was the second home we purchased with Jon as our realtor. He worked diligently to expedite both the loan and the closing process. He was available 24/7 and returned our calls/texts almost immediately.

Jon did a wonderful job guiding us through the process of buying a home and made it as stress free as possible. Everything that was required from us was handled very smoothly and all directions and instructions that were given to us were clear and concise, and enabled us to understand what we were doing and why!

It was a pleasure to work with him and would have no problems working with him again and recommending him to everyone looking to buy or sell!

Woodrow Cross recommends Jon Cota

Jon is an extremely caring realtor. As a preface, I currently work in a sales and customer service job and I also have a tendency to get frustrated quickly with the process. Jon cares about his clients and the process. He cares about the details and doing a quality job. Jon knows how to sell real estate as well, we had a number of showings scheduled within an hour of the house being listed and a full price offer within 24 hours. When I'd get frustrated he'd always know just what to say to remind me of the overall goal of getting to closing. We were dealing with a scattered and unorganized agent on the other side and he probably hid a lot of that from me. There was a lot of miscommunication from the buyer's agent which caused stress but again Jon kept us level-headed and our eye on the prize and dealt with a lot on our behalf. Jon is also well-connected and knows many people in the industry from lawyer's to bankers to inspectors and appraisers. Even relationship with contractors that can help deal with inspection items.
I'd highly recommend Jon Cota to anyone looking for an easy transaction.

After having our home listed with another agency last year my wife and I took our property off the market and made the decision to remain in our home of 30 years.

Jon was a great help to us in buying our new house in Bangor. He went out of his way to help assist and coordinate communication with the seller during the process.

Brittany Robertson recommends Jon Cota

I couldn't have been any luckier to have Jon by my side during this process. We looked at so many houses, each time he was readily available to fit me into his busy schedule to see every single one of them. He is very easy to communicate with, and often times checked/responded to messages after hours due to my odd work hours. It was a long process finding the perfect home, but there is no one I would have rather done it with!

Sally and Don Nevells recommends Jon Cota

Jodnwon is in the process of selling our home in Orono, ME and he recently sold us our new downsized home in Hermon, ME. In dealing with Jon, he has always been very professional and helpful to us throughout our home buying/selling journey. He has the ability to take a pretty stressful situation for us and turn it around so that we leave his office with a smile on our faces. We would recommend him to all of our friends. He's one awesome real estate broker!

Bob Needham recommends Jon Cota

Jon was great throughout the process of helping us not only find a home that worked for us but also during negotiations and closing. The sellers used a relocation company and was very difficult to deal with due to their many internal requirements. Between the relocation company and our bank we had many hoops to jump through but Jon was our "rock" and kept us moving forward to allow us to close on our house timely. We highly recommend Jon and will use him again.

Jim and Sue Johnston recommends Jon Cota

We recently completed the sale of our condo on Moosehead Lake using Jon as our representative. We have bought and sold numerous residences and businesses over the years. Our experience with Jon was our most pleasant. He was professional, only bringing prequalified buyers for viewings, staying in touch with us and completed the sale to fruition in less than 3 weeks. We highly recommend Jon Cota in your real estate ventures. We've never worked with a better agent in Pennsylvania, Michigan and now Maine!

Denise Needham recommends Jon Cota

Jon did an amazing job helping work both with us as the buyers, but also with the selling agent. His knowledge was extremely valuable, particularly when things became more complex due to dealing with a relocation company. I would absolutely use Jon again and would recommend him for anyone looking to buy or sell a property.
