Jon Driscoll went to buy a Mercedes Benz in Northern California in 1982. After looking at the new prices he asked about a used one. The Salesman told him they referred to their cars as “pre-owned”. Seeing it was just as nice and just as valuable to him as a new car would be for half the price he purchased it then and there. What a great concept, he thought, and wondered what would happen if he emulated that idea and applied it to his office furniture business, keeping the quality high, the appearance near new and the service professional. The idea appealed to him, so he started his own firm to do just that. The business grew and he moved it to Texas. With ideas always bouncing in his head he sold that business in 1991 and moved to an island off the coast of Washington to raise horses and began working on an internet based business to broker ‘pre-owned’ office furniture. The furniture brokerage firm proved easier then the horse business, and the northern gray skies with constant threats of wet weather prodded him to move south. Never having been here before, it was astonishing to Jon that such a great place existed and he purchased property within 24 hours after arriving in the valley. He was stunned with the spectacular lifestyle, “Everyday I look at the hills and sunsets. This is a great place with tremendous growth potential. It’s a hub for this area, and wow great wineries as well”. TradeIn.com, Inc. the furniture internet brokerage firm owned and operated by Jon Driscoll, had storage warehouses in several locations around the US, and it didn’t move as quickly to Temecula as the Driscoll family. Mr. Driscoll saw he was missing the opportunity to service many clients by not having his own facility here and worked to move his business to the Temecula/Murrieta area. Office Furniture Solutions was launched on June 1st 2003 as the Southern California based service center selling “Pre-owned” office furniture, equipment and telephone systems and now has five employees with associated companies in San Diego, Las Vegas and San Jose. The Company’s guiding philosophy is that everything they sell should look and work like you owned it new for less then a month. Resources in the local office furniture market place today are not typically of the caliber that a business deserves, according to Jon. He wanted to offer alternatives to his clients from the “big box” retailer that sells screw-together, plastic laminate furniture. His clients today range from the large national firms to the small business and those who have home offices, everyone of whom deserves the best tools for work no matter where they work. “We-re able to bring to the Buyer the same quality, service, products and price points as a large Commercial down town business receives by offering the best new and Pre-Owned North American manufactured products”.
