John Heckenberg

John was very thorough and an excellent negotiator. He represented my interests without being abrasive in order to move the deal along.

John Heckenberg represented us in the sales of our home in San Jose and finding us a new home in Santa Rosa. His services on the listing side of selling our home went far beyond the services normally provided by real estate brokers or agents. He provided access to moving companies, storage services, house painters, repairmen and stagers and kept a watchful eye over their activities to ensure the work was done at reasonable prices. He kept on top of the closing process. He also spent considerable time with us in looking for a home in Sonoma County, working with a local broker who he knew was more familiar with local conditions and prices. In reviewing offers to purchase our home, he always advised us to take the strongest offer, not necessarily the highest one (when fraught with risks) even though he might receive less commission. His honesty, integrity and responsiveness were of the highest standards. He worked hard for his commission. I would give him the highest recommendation to anyone wanting a competent broker representing them, in either a sale or a purchase.

John Heckenberg is the best out there! My husband and I were new to the Bay Area and he met with us the first day we were in town and showed us properties all over the Bay Area. He made sure to walk us through the real estate market, so we could make an informed decision on properties and find the right area for us. Through the whole process he was on our side, provided great information and gave us time to feel comfortable in making our purchase. He was at every meeting, took every phone call and was a great support system through the whole process. We are happy in our new home and we are excited to say it was a sound investment (this is thanks to Johns knowledge of the market). We will always trust John to help sell and buy our properties and so should you!

Ive known John for a while now and can honestly say that he is very good at what he does. His knowledge of real estate is quite impressive and he can easily navigate the some complicated Bay Area specific micro markets. In addition, John is extremely engaging and makes it easy to discuss those challenging topics i.e. loans, credit, short sale, foreclosure. John has made the process of finding a new home extremely enjoyable. I highly recommend Heckenberg Realty for all your real estate needs.

John is a true professional in the Real Estate Industry. I strongly recommend him for his services as a Realtor. He understands the local market, has a proven track record and knows the new process in the current market with dealing with short sales and properties owned by the banks and investors. I have done several transactions with John over the years and, without a doubt, I will continue to rely on his services when I, or anyone I know, is in the market to buy or sell a home.
