Jonathan Benya

  • Jonathan listed and sold my home

      I want to say thank you to Jonathan Benya for everything he’s done for me . I had my house listed with a different agent for 5 month and it was a straggle no showing no offers nothing . A friend recommended Jonathan from the 1st day we talked on the phone he came to my house and went thru his personation in detail and answered all my question I was skeptical about everything he said but I had nothing to lose, he promised me that he would have a contract on the house from the 1st month. I signed a contract with Jonathan Benya on Monday, 1st open house was on Sunday and we had 2 offers the following weekend for almost 5K over the asking price and 15K over my 1st listing price . Every time I called Jonathan with questions and concern which was A LOT he always answered the phone and answered all my questions that was not the end of it Closing got very stressful with the buying agent was not very cooperative to the point it was a complete nightmare but Jonathan kept me calm and made sure to stay in contact with me updating me every hour with what was going on . My house was sold in less than 2 month as he promised , Thank you for everything and thank you for helping me thru the tough times . If you selling or buying you need to hire Jonathan Benya he is the best. I don’t know what more to say your awesome .

    • Best bang for the buck with selling your home with The Benya Group... Suggested investments in renovations to fit all budgets and I'm almost certain that my $8k investment was the difference in selling for the $17k profit vs a loss on the property for me! Couldn't be happier with the outcome of this transaction :-)

    • My experience with the Benya Group was a very professional experience from start to finish!!! The staff was very polite when I called to check on the status of my property!!!! They were able to sale my property quickly and faster than anyone else that I trusted my property with, and I received Top Dollar as a result of letting them handle the sale of my home!!!! If I need to sale any property again I would return back to the Benya Group again and I would also refer others to them!!!! Thank you very much The Benya Group for your outstanding and professional help with the sale of my home!!!!!

    • Incredible integrity, exceptional aptitude and the best customer service! The Benya Group guided us through a potentially painful short sale situation seemingly effortlessly. There was never a time when they didn't answer a call, answer our many questions and do it all with friendliness and professionalism. The Benya Group is truly a rare gem!

    • The Benya Group, specifically Jon and Rayanne, not only sold our last home, but they negotiated a higher sale price, without us having to do any major repairs.More recently, they were able to get us a home in our budget, in one of the best school districts in the country. This market is very competitive (most homes go under contract within hours of active listing), and Jon was able to get us under contract without paying over market-value. Throughout both processes, Jon and Rayanne were very responsive and promptly got us any information/documentation we asked for. Rayanne even gave us some decor ideas for our new home.I recommended Benya group to my brother-in-law. They have since sold their Townhouse and they were able to get a new home, in a similarly competitive market. If you need to sell your home or procure a home in a competitive market, I would highly recommend the Benya group.

    • Jonathan is an experienced real estate agent who knows the industry and market inside and out. He promised to sell our home within 30 days and he delivered. He personally recommended contracting support for the type of work we needed to complete to get our home ready to put on the market. He explained with hard data the benefits of staging our home to make it more aesthetically pleasing, and we were convinced that staging was the best option. He attended to all the details and arrangements and I credit this with having a steady stream of showings. Jonathan will give you the facts about the market situation in your area, which is vitally important when it comes to the sellers expectations. He will work hard to ensure that when your home is placed on the market you have a very good chance of selling your home reasonably fast and at top dollar.

    • It was my first time selling a home and I had no idea what to expect and was super nervous. Jonathan did a great job explaining his process and reassuring me along the way when I had doubts. He came in and did exactly what I wanted and I walked away very happy. I'd highly recommend Jonathan and his team.

    • Jonathan provided the highest quality of professionalism I could have expected. His guidance throughout the selling process was focused, accurate and targeted to present our home in the best possible light. From preparation to sell, throughout the marketing phase and closing Jonathan was informed and informative and smoothed the way for any possible snags. There were none due to his consummate guidance. Rayanne's superlative staging created a feeling of comfort and elegance, truly the final touches that made the entire process come together beautifully. I could hardly believe that we had an offer above our asking price within four days of our open house! Thank you, Benya Group! Thank you!!

    • The Benya Group were professional from start to finish. What started as a call for a market value assessment, ended as the sell of my home at price that I am extremely pleased with. The entire process was very professional and their staff was very motivated in reaching the goal of selling my home in the shortest amount of time. I am extremely pleased with the results and was blessed to have the Benya Group.
