John was excellent to work with, very knowledgeable and flexible! We couldn't have bought or sold our house without him!
Yes John knocked it "out of the park" on my home sale. 4 days on the market and all went seamlessly from contract to sale : )
We are so grateful we met and worked with Jon Peden. We moved from out of state; Jon was kind, patient and very knowledgeable about this area. We spent months looking at different properties, changing our plan and asked many questions. Jon was always available for virtual walk throughs, in person walk throughs, had helpful suggestions and information regarding properties, neighborhoods and school districts and essentially held our hands throughout the process. Jon even played with our rowdy toddlers for a few visits! We couldn't be happier with our experience. Thank you Jon!
John’s wisdom of the market and region was incredibly helpful for us making a cross country move. He was very patient and made the process so easy and enjoyable. I will definitely recommend him to friends and family!
John was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about every aspect of the home buying process. With a great attitude and impeccable image, we couldn't have asked for more.
John was knowledgeable and kind. We made a great call choosing John. We recommend him and will use him for our future mortgage needs.
This was our first commercial transaction. John was not only an excellent guide throughout the process, but was a calming force of reason. John answered our endless questions graciously and advocated for us when there were some unexpected twists and turns.
John was great! He’s so knowledgeable about the process and services in the area. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a house!
John made the process of buying our Ft Collins home a wonderful memory for my partner and I! Big thanks to John and the Group team!
John got it sold quickly for more than I was expecting, and took care of all the details since I live out of state. Great service. Thank you!
John is one of the most professional real estate brokers I have ever known. He is honest, extremely knowledgeable, straight-forward, fair and personable. In all my real estate transactions with him, John has exceeded every expectation. Without doubt or hesitation, I would recommend John Peden to anyone and everyone!
John did a fantastic job and was my teammate in this endeavor. He was extremely knowledgeable , provided good counsel, and took a lot of work off of my plate by coordinating repairs, working with my tenants etc. I would highly recommend John Peden.
Awesome job by John. Thanks so much!
I have, and will continue to recommend John. He obviously loves what he does and it shows. He's great to work with and always has your best interest in mind.
I would highly recommend John, and I already have to a few friends.
Great to work with John. Good communication and personable. He had extensive knowledge of the area and nuances on living in Colorado.
We originally gave Ray Henry from The Group the opportunity to list and sell our property then, after n success with him, we worked with John Peden - chalk and cheese!! John was extremely proactive inasmuch as he offered suggestion for low cost renovations that would attracts more buyers - to the extent that the house sold 24hours after listing and above asking. Extra professional Peden!!.
Listens to what we want. Offers informed suggestions. Always feel like John is in our corner fighting for us.
I highly recommend John Peden, he has a lot of experience, is very personable and can guide you along the way. Thank you John! :)
John is one of the most responsive, helpful and courteous realtors I have ever worked with when buying. Can’t say enough about his genuine customer service as we as knowledge in the field.
Kim and John did an excellent job in marketing our home located in Walden. They are to be commended for the professional way the listing was created; obtaining excellent photos, and then presenting the listing in an appealing format, which eventually led to a ready, willing, and able buyer. They and The Group are to be commended. Rick and Jan Peden
I've known John almost 20 years and every real estate transaction I've done in Colorado, whether it was personal or commercial related, has been with John. He is professional and has a great sense of humor. He is great to work with and always available - even for silly questions!
John is a Very knowledgeable Realtor. He is Courteous, Helpful, and Diligent at Selling my home. In my case, he actually knew some people that were looking for a property like mine. John was able to get my house under Contract BEFORE it even got put on the Market! AND for the price I was asking. Thanks John!
John is very hard working and does his best to get things done. If all realtors worked like him all deals would flow as they should. We will be spreading John's name and the Group the best that we can.
John Peden is very knowledgeable and provides a lot of valuable data and judgement. Helped a lot in the closing paperwork, where the escrow agent had made a $20,000 mistake against us!
I was a first-time home buyer. I heard the horror stories and how complicated and stressful purchasing a house could be, especially when it's your first one. John educated me throughout the process and provided me with the necessary support that made buying my first home nearly stress-free and actually quite enjoyable. John came highly recommended and I can now see why. I would not only recommend him, but I strongly encourage anyone looking to purchase a home to use John.
