    I live in Texas and am the administrator of an estate in Mississippi, meaning I needed a realtor who communicates well, timely, and thoroughly. Jon Ritten did all that and more. He did what he said he was going to do, when he said he was going to do it. I highly value that trait in all situations and matters. Professional, knowledgeable, and reliable.

    Where do I start? Jon is very experienced, friendly, hard working, and attentive. He remembers what you say you want, and doesn't waste your time with houses you won't want to see. Rather than relate my opinion, let me tell my story. My elderly Mother-In-Law wanted a home in Diamondhead, but it wasn't just any home. She was moving from a million dollar home in Florida, and wanted to downsize but retain the quality of her former lifestyle. There are not a lot of smaller homes with those types of upgrades. Combine that with needing a home with no second floor and outside the flood zones, and we had a problem. After a few months of looking, Jon called us about a house that was listed just three hours earlier. I kid you not, he's that good. We ran out to view the place and immediately bought the house. On closing, the listing agent told us how lucky we were, because she had three clients that were interested but just didn't move as fast as Jon. That's the story folks, we definitely would not have gotten our dream home without Jon. Jon is a gunslinger, quick, accurate and deadly. Your future is very safe in his hands.

    Jon helped me find my home back in 2016 and then helped me sell it in 2022. My first time buying and first time selling. I would highly recommend Jon in these situations. He is extremely knowledgeable on the area and good at walking you through and explaining things. I was out of state while selling my house and Jon was always available and took care of everything for me. Thanks again for your help!

    OK so this is my 1st time using a realtor. Jon was recommended by a close family friend. I have to say they where right. From the first meeting Jon proved his knowledge and worth. Super nice guy, had good info every step of the way. He had a buyer on the first day. However there house deal fell thru. So he got back on the ball and had another buyer the first day back listing. Every step from start to closing Jon was always ready to answer any questions, or needs we had. We live 45 miles away from his office, but if we sell this house I will go back and deal with him again. I cannot say enough how he made the stresses of selling a house made easy.

    It was a pleasure working with John. We were from out of town looking to buy and he did a great job in helping us. He was always available by phone and text messages. John is a laid back person and doesn’t make you feel pressured. He is a good listener and a great negotiator. Overall, he is excellent and very knowledgeable as a real estate agent.

    Working with Jon has been a great pleasure from searching for our new home to selling our old house. He was very attentive to all our wishes and went the extra mile to ensure a smooth transition. I would recommend Jon Ritten to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, if you're looking for a realtor that is professional, knowledgeable, and has a reputation of being a top real estate agent on the Mississippi Gulf Coast!
