Whole-heartedly Invested Jon Wood & Holly Sibley Jon Wood Properties, Dudum Real Estate Group, Walnut Creek, CA they know you’re coming from a real estate perspective that’s built off life experience.” Native to Lamorinda, Jon grew up in Moraga and raised his children in Walnut Creek, affording him with a detailed scope of the local market. His partner, Holly moved from the Lake Tahoe area nearly 20 years ago, acquiring experiential knowledge of neighborhoods and schools while raising her children in Lafayette.
Jon Wood & Holly Sibley For Jon Wood and Holly Sibley, quality counts. While the down-to-earth pair has had their share of success, selling over 400 homes since 2005, their compassionate approach better defines their business philosophy. “For us, being Realtors has come to mean helping people during a transition,” says Jon. Having been in the industry for 10 years, their background comes with tenured knowledge on everything from home foreclosures to luxury listings. The two partnered nearly 7 years ago due to their common interest in helping homeowners through difficult times.
Their family-friendly style is an integral part of their business. The team first gets to know the clients’ lifestyle and the specifics that matter most to everyone involved. “Many agents are income focused, but our thought is if you focus on helping someone with a transition, the income follows.” Genuinely invested in building long-term relationships, both Jon and Holly are known for their ongoing patience and compassion.
“For us, being Realtors has come to mean helping people with transition.” — Jon Wood
has worked with The Taylor Family Foundation, an organization who’s mission is to enhance the quality of life for children in Northern California living with life-threatening and chronic illnesses, developmental disabilities and at-risk youth through therapeutic experiences and support. He and Holly regularly contribute in simple, effective ways to help these families facing tough times. The two also use their real estate expertise to help Habitat for Humanity by providing free market analysis and forecasts for the organization’s prospective purchases. Both proud parents, Jon is the father of two grown children, both of whom graduated from Northgate High School. His daughter lives in Walnut Creek, keeping him close to his two beloved grandchildren. His son is currently training to be a firefighter. Holly has two sons, both students at Acalanes High School and a daughter who attends Lafayette Elementary. When their not helping clients or spending time with their families, Jon and Holly enjoy all things outdoors. Holly, a horse lover hopes to have a farm of her own one day, but in the meantime both enjoy hiking trails, skiing the mountains, or soaking up sun at the beach.
“We live in a ‘we want it now’ culture, but it takes a long time to develop meaningful relationships,” says Jon.
Accustomed to managing up to 100 properties at once, Jon and Holly transitioned out of foreclosures, bringing their vast knowledge and personalized approach to Lamorinda and Walnut Creek sellers.
Whether they’re helping a client through a transition for 8 weeks or 8 months, the pair gain satisfaction from a business based not on the number of relationships, but the depth. As a result, they not only become trusted Realtors, but in many cases, an extension of the client’s family.
Yet, their core strengths spawn from building authentic relationships, and helping families start new chapters by letting go of the space they once called home.
“We make sure we’re building long-term connections, because we want to be there for them,” says Holly. “People remember that.”
“A house represents a lot to a family, and moving on can be difficult,” says Jon. “Having that first-hand knowledge makes people feel comfortable, because
That philosophy also weaves into their personal lives, playing an important role in how they connect with the community. For the past 25 years Jon
Jon & Holly enjoy serving clients & community
