We worked with John van Dyk when my wife and I decided to sell our house of twenty-eight years in Saratoga. It was a pleasure and we had a very good result in a short amount of time. Our house went on the market July 19th, and closed on August 6th.
John has many positive traits, but what makes him such a great realtor are the following:
He is collaborative and inclusive with his clients. We were indeed team members in all phases of the process and communication was proactive and timely.
He is knowledgeable of the buying and selling process and managed it accordingly.
He is detail-oriented and stays on top of those he works with.
He knows how to line up the right resources (stagers, photographer, home inspection, title company, other agents who represented potential buyers).
He sets expectations properly and takes the stress out of the selling process with his calm and professional demeanor.

We would highly recommend John and would use him again in a heartbeat.

John has been a fantastic asset for me, skillfully navigating both a sale and a purchase of two of my properties. He knows what it takes to get successful outcomes and is more than willing to put in the work. He is reliable and diligent. He comes with my highest recommendation. You will never go wrong with him guiding you through this very important transaction!

John did a fantastic job representing the Dixon family on the sale of our mother's house at 2428 Nautilus Ct. in San Jose, CA. There were several challenges that he was able to help us solve. He is professional, a great communicator and on top of everything every step of the way. I would highly recommend John as an agent especially for an estate sale that has been in a family for decades.

Working with John to sell our home was a real pleasure. He was tremendously helpful from start to finish. When selling a childhood/family home there are a wide range of emotions that can affect one’s focus on the task at hand. John’s care and extreme attention to our situation was really helpful and appreciated. He kept in constant contact with myself and two siblings with the necessary updates on our status and progress of the process.

John stepped in and helped my brother and I turn a rental into a beautiful house to sell for top dollar. John was extremely professional as he updated us on the progress of getting the rental into a condition to sell, organized the staging of the rental and helped us decide which of the multiple offers we should except. The house closed on time with NO last minute issues. Well done John!

I give John my highest recommendation. I was married to his Sister, Karen. I trusted John completely to work with Karen and sell our house. John kept me totally informed at all times and was fully transparent. John's advice was right on, and particularly so in that our house in New Almaden was unique and very hard to comp. I am certain that he got us top dollar for it.

John Van Dyk was sooo amazing during our buying of a home. He understood our needs and wants and helped guide us through the process. As first time homebuyers, my husband and I felt so comfortable with John and his recommendations. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone who is buying a home!

I am so grateful to John. He was super patient with me while we waited out the crazy high market. I felt that he genuinely cared about my girls and I and his advice was based on my best interest, not his. I would gladly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell.

John did an outstanding job from start to finish. If there were more five stars on here I would recommend higher. I have the utmost confidence that John would always do the right thing for his client. He’s everything you’d ever want in a realtor!

First time home buyer
John is such a nice guy who is willing to help in whichever way he can. It was my first time buying a property, and I was 13,000 miles away, so I had to rely on John and his team for literally everything. When I first arrived at my new house, John spent almost two weeks with me helping me through all the setup details. I really appreciate all the help John gave me and am definitely looking forward to doing business with him again.

From start to finish, John was the best choice we could have made to sell my Grandparents home. John was absolutely prepared when we first met. He had a very professional information packet and was extremely knowledgeable about the area and what it would take to get the house sold. Since the interior of the house was a bit dated, John went the extra mile to create a board with pictures showing potential buyers what "could be". I think that was instrumental on our sale.

John's communication was superb. He kept all of us informed throughout the process which put everyone at ease. When it came down to negotiating the deal, we knew he had our backs and looked out for our interests.

You couldn't ask for anything more from a realtor!

Thanks John!

I would highly recommend John. He is professional, personable, detailed, dependable, organized and hard working.

Our 96-year-old mother had just lost our stepfather unexpectedly and my brother, sister and I, who are all out-if-state, made the tough decision to move mother closer to where we are. The house she so dearly loved had to be sold; and John was the perfect agent to do it He was understanding and patient as he worked with our two families and dealt with many of the issues that we, being out-of-state, could not handle.

We cannot thank him enough. He is “one in a million.”

I had the pleasure of working with John Van Dyk, an agent with Intero, to sell my Mom's home. I knew when I first met him, this is the fellow I wanted to list that home. He did not disappoint.

John was very professional with attention to detail and very knowledgeable about our market and his business. He seamlessly integrated all involved with this transaction with caring and delivered a quick sale.

I would highly recommend John to sell your home.

With the death of my step father and my 96 year-old mother's need for 24-hour care, it was necessary for her to move to an assisted living facility immediately. Since my two sisters and I live out of state, we had a very limited time to prepare my mother's home for sale and so it was imperative for us to work with someone who could help us locally. Based upon a recommendation my sister had from another real estate professional out of the area, we contacted John Van Dyk at Intero for his assistance.

John went to work immediately, providing us with the names of proven companies to provide cleaning services, inspection reports and repairs. John made numerous visits to the property to ensure that the everything we were paying for was being completed properly and in a timely manner. I can't overstate how professionally John handled everything for us. We never had to return to San Jose to resolve any issues because John was always a step ahead of any concerns we might have had.

I am extremely pleased with our relationship with John Van Dyk and I feel that, for the commissions we paid, he delivered more than we ever expected.

We first met John while touring a house he was selling for a friend. Unlike the vast majority of sellers' agents we met while house shopping (for nearly a year), John was simple and honest. He wasn't pushy. He didn't ask or care about how much we had to put down or how much we were willing to spend. We simply chatted about what we were looking for in a *house*.

A few weeks later we received a hand written note from John thanking us for talking with him. We decided at that time to start working with him instead of our current realtor, and within a few months we were the proud new owners of a home that met all our criteria.

I was referred to John through a close family friend and am very happy with the service he provided from start to finish. I was looking to purchase a home in either the Los Gatos or Campbell neighborhoods. He was an excellent partner, letting me drive at the speed I wanted to on this process, was very knowledgeable and advocated for me. I appreciated that he helped me re-calibrate my expectations based on the market and my wants and needs for my future home. Ultimately, we landed with an excellent outcome on the purchase of my Los Gatos townhome. I would highly recommend him!

We recently utilized the real estate services provided by John van Dyk. With this in mind, we highly recommend his expertise that he exhibited in bringing a very positive conclusion in the recent sale of our home. Our home that we resided in for over 33 years, presented some very unique challenges ( size , price , location) that John tackled head on. During the course of the sale process, John exhibited a very steadying plan of action - this required his analyzing the existing market trends and determined that there was a need for us to make some changes. We agreed to John’s new course of action which immediately brought a very positive result.

So it is with full confidence that we highly recommend John van Dyk for any of your real estate needs !

We worked with John van Dyk in the second half of 2016. We have nothing but good things to say about his professionalism and the entire process.

John spent an incredible amount of time and effort finding and showing us various properties until we found the perfect one.

He was able to manage a very complicated 1031 transaction with three buyers without a hitch.

He supported us consistently through the entire process and thereafter to make sure any open items were addressed. He is detailed oriented and incredibly responsive and overall, a great guy. We would highly recommend him and look forward to using him again.

John Van Dyk was recommend to my family during the sale of a family home we have owned since 1948. Although a difficult decision to sell we immediately knew he was the professional that would guide us through the procedure. He is professional, thourough, fair, open minded, and has all the insider knowledge to aid his clients. He communicated often, marketed widely across the state, expedited all paperwork, even helped with getting our precious property in shape. No task was to large or to small. He gave us any time needed & sold the home quickly at top dollar. He is s gem in his industry. I would never sell a house without him & recommend him to all.

John Van Dyk was the epitome of being a compassionate, thoughtful, and supportive realtor.

My mother had recently passed away and my father soon after needed to relocate into assisted living from their home of 28 years. In order to continue paying for my dad's new location, the very difficult decision to sell their home became evident. In walks John and literally handles all the emotional and challenging details of selling the residence, which was the longest my parents had ever called a single place as home.

As Dad was very much in command of the sale of his home, John's gentle and attentive manner worked quite well with a person who was still suffering from the loss of all things familiar, as well as his wife of 62 years. In addition, my father was relocated near other family members quite a distance from San Jose. John patiently managed all the dealings through me as the local person, my sister who was near Dad, and my father, who is slightly tech challenged and partially deaf! Never was there a display of frustration for our unusual situation.

As a full-time working person, who did not know all the ins and outs of hiring removal companies, painters, house cleaners, etc. John just worked his magic and had everyone arrive and take care of the business to make the house "show ready." Staging the house, which had some slight imperfections, to be shown to a limited market was extraordinarily important, and it was accomplished without flaw. Also, John made it a point to know my parents neighbors and the dealings of the retirement community, which brings its own unique challenges as it caters to a very specific market, in order to better explain the community to potential buyers.

John was in constant communication with my sister and I and that allowed us to feel confident in the process. His patience with our never ending questions, need for assurance, and carefully walking us through the process was deeply appreciated.

Most importantly, John got the message out before the house went on the market. Over 1,200 hundred realtors knew that the house was "coming soon" and he described the fantastic potential of living in the retirement community. His proactive approach led to a preemptive offer two days before the house going on the market. The buyer offered over the asking price and John managed all the details over the telephone with my dad.

Although it was sad to say good-bye to the house that held so many memories this difficult process was made all the easier because of John. When we find ourselves needing a realtor, or if any of our friends do, we will clearly be contacting John.

Although John doesn't live in Santa Cruz County (and that was where we were looking for a home) he made himself available as if he did live here to show us multiple homes as soon as they became available on the market until we found "THE ONE". He was quick to get our offer in and was able to work his magic so that they picked ours even though there were multiple offers on the house. Not only did he get us our home within our price range, but he was also able to get everything processed/signed while I was traveling. He was very professional and extremely accommodating. I highly recommend John for any of your real estate needs!

We are so pleased with the work that John did in selling my wife's parent's home. He was professional, took care of every detail and was in constant contact with all of the involved parties. John was able to establish an effective bond of trust with my wife's father even though he now lives in San Diego. The trust that was built helped ease my father-in-laws worries and emotions that came with the sale of his home. John was able to navigate all of the unique obstacles that came with selling a home in the Villages, his patience and sensitivity through this entire process was amazing. lastly, he got this all done in record time. I will highly recommend John to anyone I know that will need a realtor's expertise and services.
