Raised locally, Jon first entered the Real Estate Industry as a Real Estate Loan Officer. This lending background from 1986 to 1990, educated him to search for the best loans and how to close those difficult escrows. Lending developed those extremely valuable negotiating skills he uses today. This means a better PURCHASE PRICE to you the BUYER. Since joining the real estate market in 1990, Jon has continually been recognized as one of real estate's top agents. Long hours, a positive attitude and strong work ethic equals Customer Satisfaction. For the last twelve years Jon has qualified for the "Circle of Excellence". Jon won the 2000-Marketplace Office "Service Excellence Award" for outstanding service to his clients. In 1998 the people of Bakersfield and Kern County honored Jon by voting him"Best of the Best". The local newspaper "The Bakersfield Californian" readers poll is published every May. Again, Jon Busby says "Thank You Bakersfield, for voting me, the best Realtor in Bakersfield". Jon has been voted "Best of the Best" six years running 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and again in 2005. Jon was voted "Favorite Realtor" for 2004. Jon has learned in today's world of specialization, when Real Estate agents try to be all things to all people, their clients don't receive the level of service they deserve. Jon has invested money and countless hours developing a team of specialists. He has assembled a very unique and successful real estate team that mirrors his attitude. Jon's team is licensed with over fifty years of real estate sales and marketing experience. Working long hours Jon and his team maintains a positive attitude, strong work ethics, and "OK team let's get the job done".
