All Testimonials

John and Jennifer are the dynamic duo.  They helped us buy AND sell. I was truly impressed to see their teamwork, utilizing their expertise to get things done well and quickly.  They took a normally stressful task and made it a fun adventure!  John is personable and professional.  He was extremely patient and helpful, discussing options while helping us find exactly what we were looking for.  I was aware of many other clients he was working with, but with the attention he gave us, I often felt like we were the only ones.  That is a real gift.  We felt very cared for.  He truly had our best interest in mind.  Jennifer was always behind the scenes making sure we had all of our paperwork done right on schedule.  I actually miss talking to them every day!!  🙂 This market is crazy!  If you need someone to help you navigate buying or selling, I wholeheartedly recommend Next Step.  I have never dealt with a better team.

Thank you for helping us to sell our home of 33 years. What a wonderful team to work with.  John and Jenn Brock are fantastic.  They took time to talk with us about selling our home and what to expect throughout the entire process.   They really helped us get ready to sell and put the home on the market. Working with them makes the whole process easier.  They are very good with communicating each step.  As we moved along and hit a few hills to climb they were right there to help us navigate the steps and move forward. If you need a great support team to help you sell your home we highly recommend John and Jenn and Next Step Real Estate Group.

John and Jenn did an excellent job first getting to know my needs and interests so that they could individually tailor the houses that they would show to me. Their approach was not a cookie-cutter one but was individualized, which allowed me to focus on houses in my price range and design choices rather than wasting time and energy on houses that wouldn’t suit me. Their personable and professional approach would benefit anyone who wants agents who will care about finding a home and not just a house!

John & Jennifer are the perfect duo! We listed our home significantly higher than we were expecting because John was spot on with his evaluation of the market; we were under contract in 6 hours because of their marketing strategy; and we sold it for more than the listing price because Jenn knew how to prepare and stage our home for potential buyers. They made the entire process a fulfilling journey from start to finish.

For years, my husband and I talked about downsizing.  We finally started casually looking at patio homes in 2019.  We waffled back and forth over the pros and cons for TWO YEARS.  John and Jennifer were wonderful as we sorted out our thoughts. They continued to show us properties over the course of 2019 and 2020 and encouraged us to just figure out what was best for us.  In January 2021, they showed us the perfect property, led us through the purchase process, and then prepared our home for the market.  They were patient, knowledgeable and kind throughout the buying and selling process.  They both have impeccable integrity and I highly recommend them. The entire experience was a pleasure.

John and Jennifer Brock are outstanding real estate agents.  They have a ton of knowledge about the Columbia area, are honest about any questions you have, are very communicative, respond to your needs very quickly, and will do all they can for you. When we moved, we lived out of state, which made it difficult for us to have conventional home tours, and search for homes in the usual sense.  The Brock’s got very creative with technology, thought outside the box, and worked very hard to get us all the information we asked for to make an informed decision.  Having them in our corner made us feel very comfortable in making an offer on a house that we had not stepped foot in.  We wouldn’t have done it with anyone else, they just treat you like family. They also have great contacts that can help you with home inspections, finance, and beyond.  They are truly a one stop shop for your real estate needs, as you take the next step in your life. We will always use them for all of our real estate needs.  So blessed to call them friends.
