I grew up in the Trussville area and graduated from Clay-Chalkville High School in 2003. A week after graduating, I left for Parris Island, South Carolina to become a United States Marine. During my four years in the Marines, I deployed 3 times as an Infantry Marine and toured the world!

After the Marines, I returned to Trussville, Alabama and got into flipping houses. During this time, I also started numerous small businesses that fed my entrepreneurial spirit and helped me hone my business skills. I knew I needed to complete my education, so I decided to go back to school. In 2013, I received my degree in Business Administration from Huntington College in Montgomery, AL. I am married to an amazing wife of 10 years who teaches in the Trussville City School System and have two beautiful girls who are 5 and 6.

Testimonials

Closings

Jonathan was very good at communicating with us as soon as anything came up. He and his team did a wonderful job. When things fell through with our first buyer on our old home. He was able to assure us that everything would work out and the home we were buying would still be waiting.

Jonny was a fantastic real estate agent! He was very knowledgeable towards the buying process and strived to give me and Elizabeth nothing but his best! Jonny found us the perfect home and made the first time home buying an absolute breeze!

Jonny was an excellent realtor. He has been responsive and very diligent of our needs. He has been very accommodating and this has been an over 6 months process from inquiry to purchase. We stuck with him as he was mindful of our changing needs with no attitude. But the best thing about him is that he was never pushy! I have let go of previous agents for being pushy. House buying is a big decision and Jonny on more than one occasion said he wants us to be happy above all. That was the selling point for us, our needs over a sale commission which means he truly cares about doing the right thing for his clients and not just pushing a sale.

Jonny was great to work with as we had many hurdles to overcome on this purchase but he took them in stride and made so easy for us. The sellers agent was very difficult and tried to get out of contract but Jonny was ( Jonny on the spot) and didn’t allow that to happen. If you are looking to buy a home, ask for Jonny Cates! 

Jonny was incredible!!! He was very helpful and answered any questions or concerns we had in a timely manner. He was very knowledgeable and made the home buying process easy and fun! Will definitely be referring friends to him!

Our buying experience with Jonny (aka Superman) was amazing! His knowledge of the housing industry is beyond anything I’ve seen. He was able to answer any and every question we had, and trust me we had a lot of them. The house we ended up buying was the first one he showed us. He really got to know us and what we wanted and found it right off the bat! All I can say is this guy is good and I would trust him as my realtor any day and every day! 

Jonny is a top notch agent, he was always quick to respond to any questions we had throughout the buying process. I would recommend Jonny to my friends and family without any reservations.  I would also like to thank him for his service to our great country. Semper Fi!

Jonny was great to work with! He listened to our needs and wants and found us the perfect house! Jonny negotiated a great price, advocated for us with the mortgage company to keep things on track and made the transaction seamless! Thank you so much for all your help!

He is very good with his prompt responsiveness and very good skill to negotiate. I enjoy during the whole purchase procedure. He is very clear to explain each and every steps involve in purchase procedure.

Going out of his way to make sure I was getting the best deal and service would best sum up Jonny Cates. 6 months after the purchase, he still calls to check in or make sure that we got everything that we were promised. If you're looking for a realtor that genuinely cares about your needs, then Jonny is your guy!! 

Jonny was awesome, he did a great job with helping me get my dream home. When I was tired of looking he wouldn’t let me give up. He listened to what I wanted in a home and found it for me. Thank you so much Jonny!

Jonny made my home buying experience an easy and enjoyable one. Jonny was extremely helpful with my "first time home buyers nerves". Would definitely recommend!

5 outta 5 doesn't even come close to describing how great of a job Mr. Cates did helping us find our perfect first home! We are first time buyers and we were basically lost on the whole process, that is, would have been lost without the knowledge and expertise brought to the table by Mr. Cates and his team!!! Professional, considerate, knowledgeable with the area and home buying process, and, did I mention fast and efficient!!? Seriously, I doubt it gets much better than this guy. I would recommend this guy to anyone looking to get settled into a home any day, any time!!!!

Jonny made buying our first home a wonderful experience!! He helped us achieve our goal in a matter of a few weeks and placed us in our home three days before Christmas. We could not ask for a better gift!! We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy their next home.

Best real estate agent on the market. Super knowledgeable, personable, and made the whole process easy. And a former United States Marine. What’s not to like? 5/5 stars!

I recently closed on my house with Jonathan Cates as my agent. The process was a pleasant experience.  Jonny is extremely knowledgeable and very familiar with Trussville and the surrounding area. Viewing many houses, Jonny was very patient while helping me to find exactly the right home. I will highly recommend Jonny to my family and others looking to buy or sell a house.   Thank you Jonny! 

Very proactive and responded quickly. Very personable and understanding. Highly recommend to others. Arranged contact with financial group. And inspectors for the home plus specific inspections of septic system, termites etc. collected information for contacts of service professionals. Negotiated the repair items to reduce the final purchase price.

MR. JONATHAN CATES, OR JUST SIMPLY JONNY WAS THE BEST THING THAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO AN INEXPERIENCED HOME BUYER SUCH AS MYSELF. HIS PROFESSIONALISM IS PARALLELED WHICH MADE THE WHOLE PROCESS OF FINDING MY HOME A MOST ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS INDIVIDUAL TO MAKE YOUR DREAM COME TRUE WHEN SEARCHING FOR YOUR DREAM HOME.

Jonny was very knowledgeable of the Trussville area. He also was very easy to get in touch with. Communication was always open. Jonny's knowledge of the buying process helped make things go smoothly.

This group is so great and relaxing to work with! I never one time had anxiety about buying a home. I would definitely recommend to a friend! Jonny was my realtor and so wonderful to work with.
