Jo Alonso
Residential - Sales Associate
In 2004, Jo Alonso embarked on a career in real estate. It started as a personal goal to help her migrant family understand the mechanics of home ownership. From zero knowledge to the satisfaction of not only helping family and friends and really the public as a whole be represented in their real estate transactions.
After much research, Jo determined that being associated with Weigand gives her and her clients the benefit of the familiarity of the Weigand name and the company reputation of professionalism and integrity. This is important to her and the way she does business. Jo is dedicated to helping people own their home and through research and experience has utilized many different programs for her buyers including the Kansas Local Government Statewide Housing Program and available Government bonds to help first time homebuyers.
Jo’s family emigrated from the Philippines in 1994 where she worked as an export merchandiser. She served buyers from the United States and Europe and honed her customer service skills. Family is a big part of Jo’s life. Her husband Rico, works from home as a computer systems analyst and is a great help to her with technology. They have two grown daughters and three grandchildren ages 19, 12 and 10 that she spends every free minute with.
She has a Bachelor in Business Administration with a major in Business Management and minor in Accounting. Community activities are also important to her and she is a member of the Derby Chamber of commerce and participates as much as she can in events promoting the Derby community and its businesses.
Empathy, generosity with time and resources, patience, attention to detail and management skills are all attributes that Jo brings to her business. Whether you're looking for a home that's a perfect match for your lifestyle or selling your existing home.. Jo can help. She knows real estate and is ready to put that knowledge to work for YOU! Her negotiating skills and market knowledge give her clients a substantial advantage in their real estate transaction that can only result in "peace of mind", knowing that she will take care of the details. When asked about her goals in real estate, Jo says,"Excellent Service. Plain and Simple."

Being a first time homeowner I could not have asked for a better Realtor. Jo not only made buying a house easy but she recently helped me sell the same property 8 years later! Her work ethic was unrivaled. I had multiple offers within the first week of listing. As a member of the military, Jo worked with me while being stationed overseas and no doubt went above and beyond. Thank you so much Jo Alonso!

My family and I were fortunate to be referred to Jo by a relative when we were making our move to Wichita. She was extremely helpful and patient with us, showing us each and every house we requested before finally showing us a much better fit for us in Derby that we hadn't thought of or considered in our "list". When we left the area for a short time, Jo jumped on selling our house and did so very quickly (just under 3 weeks)! She held open houses for us each and every weekend until she had it sold. Two years ago, upon our return to the Wichita area, Jo was with us again and helped us find our current home in Rose Hill which we absolutely love. Jo has made our home buying/selling experiences very pleasant three times now and we wouldn't think to work with anyone else.

We didn't have a lot of time to buy our first home but Jo Alonso made sure we took our time and found the perfect home for our new family. We have been in our home for almost two years now and we love it still. We were lucky to find a realtor that understood our needs and was there to guide us along the way.
