“Jason was excellent to work with! We worked with him for nearly a year searching for a new home and ultimately decided to build a house. Jason is prompt, professional, honest, and genuinely in your corner. He helped us greatly with navigating the challenges of building a home and had some great suggestions for our design and various upgrades. He was also very considerate and patient when it came to understanding our needs. We're super happy with how the house turned out and would work with Jason again without hesitation. We'd highly recommend him to anyone!”

“We worked with Jason for nearly a year searching for and then building a new home. Once our house was built, we were then able to quickly sell our old home. Jason was extremely knowledgable about the local area and was up to date on the market. He helped us greatly with navigating the challenges of building a house for the first time and was knowledgable about upgrades we never knew existed but are very glad we got. He was also excellent and extremely patient with understanding our needs and being able to address them. Jason is always prompt, available, honest, and genuinely in your corner for everything in the buying and selling process. We're extremely happy with the home we built and the smooth sale of our condo. We would without hesitation reach out to Jason again the next time we need to buy or sell, and would highly recommend him!”

“I really enjoyed working with and getting to know Jason! We were in an unusual situation and on a tight timeline, but Jason coordinated every detail that needed to be considered in a professional and efficient manner. He was very reassuring throughout the selling process with his vast knowledge of the market in this area and knew just how to handle any little issue that came up. I really appreciated how he took the time to explain the different processes and procedures involved in selling a house (I was learning how to do each step as we went along because I had not ever had the experience!) and he answered every question I had with kindness and patience. Most of all I appreciated working with and getting to know Jason. He genuinely cared about how to help me get through the process and feel comfortable with the outcome. He is kind, optimistic, dependable, conscientious, and outstanding at what he does! Jason has become my go-to realtor and my friend! Thank you Jason!”

“Jason has been instrumental in our start into real estate investing. He listened and understood our goals and took the time to find and show us properties that matched our requirements. His knowledge, expertise and flexibility was invaluable during our search. He helped negotiate a tricky closing on a property, which resulted in $50,000 off the four unit price. We look forward to working with Jason in the future!”

Nagesan Rajendran, South Beloit

“Jason Taylor was fabulous! I wasn't working with a realtor initially due to previous bad experiences. Jason was very up front no pressure. He asked me about my wants, needs and what I was looking for in a home not even knowing if he would ever see me again. He was professional, knowledgeable and laid back. Allowing me to speak my mind. He had a business card which crazy as it sounds many other showing agents did not seem to have. Jason allowed me to send photos of homes I was interested in to give him ideas since I like unique non cookie cutter styles to see if he was up for a challenge. He allowed me to text and email him at any given point if I had questions or to schedule a showing with prompt responses. He always had all possible information printed for me for every home we saw. After a few showings I saw that Jason loves his field of work and truly gets to know YOU! Offers his opinion after getting yours about the home you just saw to continue learning your likes and dislikes. I was confident he was a trustworthy realtor that will go above and beyond for his clients. Wanting to get you in the right home not just a home. My biggest wow factor was Jason had scheduled a home for me without my knowledge after another home we were going to see. A total surprise. He knew I was going to love it and with homes going fast he knew to get me in. Sure enough I did love it! Long story short I bought the home. Jason was so sweet to welcome me into my new home with house warming flowers. He followed up a week later to make sure everything was still going good. That was the cherry on top for me. Not sure if that's something he just does or if its part of Century 21 but I have never had that for any of my previous home purchases. It always seemed that once the realtor makes the sale poof they're gone. He is super personable even wanting to see pictures after I get some renovations done since the house had so many opportunities to revamp it. I can't thank him enough for all the hard work he has done and pressure I put on him for searching, finding and getting me into my unique Japanese style forever home in less than 15 days. I am truly grateful for all his efforts. I highly recommend Jason Taylor! He was simply stated...Outstanding!”

“Jason Taylor always made us a priority and made sure he always made time to get us in to see a house we were insterested in. Espically being first time home buyers at the age of 21 and 22, we were nervous and didn't know what to expect. Jason made it easy and simple for us, explained everything in detail, and answered all my questions!! We loved you Jason T.!!!”

“Jason was amazing, he sent us new listings daily that fit our wish list as soon as they popped up. He was very flexible with his availability to take us to see the homes as well. He was very knowledgeable about each area, schools, shopping , taxes ext. Jason listened to our needs and what was important to us in our forever home. He found us the perfect house and the perfect location. Jason gave us the best advice when it came to the offer and when there was multiple offers he suggested different negotiation ideas. I would recommend Jason 100/10 to any of our family or friends! Really could not thank him enough for all he did for us.”

“We called Jason Taylor to list our house, as we were previously very satisfied with his services A water pipe broke in the house before closing causing major damage that we had repaired. Jason was helpful all throughout the repair process, offering us guidance and communications with all the parties involved from start to finish. He helped us keep the original buyers through months of repair work, and all the administrative work that went with it. He guided us all the way through the processes we needed to do from the beginning of the sale through of the last steps of closing in such an unusual situation. Always empathetic and easy to deal with. Prompt answers and understands what needs to be done. Also, very professional and energetic. We will definitely call him again,and would recommend to anybody.”

“Jason went gone above and beyond any expectations we could have had! He not only helped us find the perfect house but also helped us make the connections needed to make our house a home! He always has reliable recommendations when work needs done. From contractors, to chimny sweeps, plumbers to electricians Jason knows who to trust to get the job done! Jason was knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process of searching, touring, writing, negotiating and closing. He answered all of our questions and concerns with wisdom and kindness and never made us feel silly for asking any question. When working with another organization one individual asked who our realtor was and replied "he's the best" when we reported that our realtor was Jason Taylor. And we agree, "he's the best!" We would absolutely recommend him!”

Ashley, Rockford

“Jason was able to help us navigate a very active home selling market including a sales action plan that was tailored to our needs as we were building new and needed time to maneuver. He was accessible and realistic with not only managing the process but managing our expectations of how selling a home in this climate would work. Jason also provided a plan for pre-open house and how to manage offers that were competing with different structures. Ultimately we were able to accept an offer meeting our needs and exceeding our expectations with Jason's help and support within days of listing. Jason's multimedia approach with the video/drone photography made such an impact for potential buyers. In our own home search we didn't find anyone using the same emphasis on thoroughly touring the home before even arriving onsite. Jason is assisting in our new build and I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell.”

“Jason was really easy to work with. When we met and discussed my property, he was open and honest about the process and how long it would be to sell the house. I believe he was able to underestimate how long it would take to sell the house, and overperform when it actually sold. He was able to sell my house in 2 days and we closed on the property in two weeks. I highly recommend working with Jason Taylor.”

“Jason was very efficient in getting us into see various houses in a prompt manner. He is very knowledgeable about details to look for in houses as far as construction and the quality of the home. His level of patience, positive attitude, personal attention to our needs, and willingness to get in touch with us day or night, and even weekends, went far beyond his professional requirements. We worked with Jason for more than a year in search of the right home. He was never pushy or intimidating in trying to get us to decide on a particular home. In fact, he told us from the start that we should not decide on a home until we found the one we loved and felt that it was the right one for us.”

James Thelen, Loves Park

“Fiancé and I were in the process for looking for a house and had a short period of time to look for a house. I was referred to Jason Taylor by a family member, and they mentioned excellent things about him. I told Jason everything for what I was looking for in a house, and what kind of area I we were looking for. Jason worked right away to look for houses for us, he worked around MY busy schedule which I am so thankful for. This was our first home we were looking for so we were very new to this, and didn't know what we were looking for or looking at when Jason went to take us to look at properties. Every question that I had Jason always answered honestly. When it finally came down to the one house, he went to every room and looked at every little detail to make sure that it would pass inspection, he took his time looking at the main things like the water heater, A/C and heating system, and looking outside of the house. I recommend Jason Taylor because he was patient, he listened, he was honest, and very understanding. Thank you Jason for helping found our first home.”

He was open to our process and supporting us in finding homes that meet our criteria.

Being a first time homebuyer, he guided me on what to ask for and what to negotiate on. He was very knowledgeable and pointed out things he noticed about the house. He explained everything clearly and was always quick to respond to texts or answer calls, even weeks after closing. I would definitely use Jason again if we were to move.”

Robert, Rockford

“We couldn't recommend Jason more highly. We can't imagine ever using anyone else for our real estate needs. Jason handled every aspect of the purchase of our new home with professionalism and skill. We could elaborate on any aspect, but he was truly amazing on the inspection aspect of our new build. He handled his interactions with the inspector and builder with great effectiveness and advised us on how to do the same. He went way above and beyond to make sure that we received the best home possible. Our home was much improved by the process. Besides being beyond competent on all aspects of his job, Jason was actually a joy to work with. We look forward to working with him on the sale of our existing home. We have profited from Jason's expertise and service in so many ways that it would be impossible to document in one statement. He truly went above and beyond throughout the whole process. His guidance and advice were impeccable. We got exactly what we wanted in a difficult real estate environment for buyers.”

“Wonderful experience with Jason and Century 21.. I highly recommend for buying or selling a home. You are in great hands… It is my first time buying a home and i felt overwhelmed. Jason was very patient, understanding and knowledgeable which took my ease away fast. He gets to know you, and this is very important! He was very honest with things we saw in a house, what to look for and if i had any questions, he was there to answer. I really like that after all was said and done with the house, he checked in a week later. Over all my first home buying experience was great, and I will recommend and be back to Century 21 and work with Jason again.”
