Bernard "BJ" Jones, P.A.

A career built on service – for our country & community

What do Clients Say?

BJ Jones is a consummate professional and performed an outstanding service for me in marketing and selling my house in Punta Gorda, Florida. The thing that separates BJ Jones and Michael Saunders & Company from other realtors is that they spent a significant sum of money and time marketing my house domestically and internationally in print and social media to prospective buyers. They paid for a professional photographer to take high quality photos and videos to market my house. I was very impressed with the video and drone footage which showed boating access to and from my home. I was out of the country for most of the listing period, and BJ went beyond the call of duty in helping me coordinate inspections and service providers . He would even pick up palm fronds from my property, and there are a lot of palm trees on the property. I have been a real estate lawyer for more than 30 years and I cannot say enough complimentary things about BJ. I have already recommended BJ Jones and Michael Saunders & Company to other friends, and will continue to do so in the future. I give BJ Jones a 5 Star Rating!

BJ Jones served as our real estate professional during our relocation process from New England to Southwest Florida. 0ur real estate professional in the Northeast had recommended BJ and his company as being the utmost professional real estate firm in Southwest Florida. I met BJ for the first time when my wife and I scheduled a virtual tour with him to view a home that we had found online. At the outset, we found BJ to be very professional in his approach to our requirements for a new home and he instilled a level of optimism and confidence in our endeavors and for our property search. His passion and enthusiasm for his work is infectious and we established trust and a mutual rapport immediately with him. BJ has the depth and breadth of knowledge of the real estate market in this area that made our search for a new home as easy as it possibly could be. His probing questions, use of his industry tools, analytics and his own intuitiveness narrowed our criteria comfortably. BJ refined our points and knew what was important even when we vacillated. He never lost sight of our vision for our relocation property. He always listened and improved upon key details even when my wife and I could not clearly articulate our concept. BJ has very through follow through. Whatever we asked, he answered and or put in the research and inquiries to get the information. He did so with promptness and we never needed to wait for his responses. He always responded exactly when he said that he would. Additionally, his clear description of different areas, neighborhoods, amenities, landscape and pursuits and activities have been invaluable. My wife and I often go back to, “BJ said . . .” or “According to BJ . . .” He clearly embraces the Southwest Florida life! I truly believe that the most important aspect of this professional relationship, is not only that were we fortunate enough to find a true professional to assist us, but at the end of the day, we can say that we have found a true friend here in South West Florida. We hope that those of you that read this will consider working with BJ Jones for your real estate needs. You will not regret it!!

BJ was the most crucial element in our search for a Florida home. He was diligent in suggesting properties that met our changing wishes as our search evolved and was tireless in taking us to see them. His knowledge of the housing market and the need to act quickly and decisively brought us success in purchasing the home we wanted. BJ was also a great help in negotiating with sellers and their agents. His referral of insurance, inspection and mortgage providers was spot on. In addition to all of this BJ has a sense of humor and a fine personality. My wife and I will always consider him a friend. Thank you, Liz and Harry Jones

HARRY JONES

Wow! Working with BJ Jones made our home purchase so stress free. BJ was friendly, prompt, informed and professional. While in the midst of a pandemic, he was able to show us properties, the water ways, and surrounding area of Port Charlotte via video chat. BJ Jones stayed in contact via email, phone and video chat throughout the selection, purchase, and closing of our lovely waterfront home. BJ Jones went above and beyond our expectations and we gladly thank him for being patient, listening to our concerns, and giving us peace of mind answering our questions. Thank you for showing my family the beaches and the local parks in Port Charlotte. We were very glad BJ was so informed and showed us which waterfront properties had access to the harbor. I highly recommend BJ Jones as your agent when buying and selling your home and we will only use BJ Jones in the near future. Thanks again. Landecho Family
