In the years I have known Jon, he has faced many business and personal challenges and learning what is important in both worlds. Besides being a successful businessman, he is a writer and believes in giving back. Since Haiti’s earthquake, he began regularly donating to nonprofits such as Unicef, Clean Water Charity, Children's Miracle Network, and other select (one-off) causes/organizations. His organizations hire and shop locally. He is passionate about helping assimilate many immigrants with their families and mentoring/coaching them to become business owners.

Asrorjon maintains genuine close connection with minority communities living in the Baltimore metropolitan area that speak Uzbek, Ukrainian, Russian, Moldovan, Tajik, Kazakh, Kyrgyz and Turkmen languages. He is very active in their community events and helps community members build and successfully run their businesses. I also know that he established and has been running business growth and development groups with several minority business owners, which includes regular masterminds, business growth retreats and bi-weekly lunches

Jon has the “grit” and determination to make something out of nothing. He has the personality and character traits that it takes to be a successful entrepreneur, a trailblazer, a community champion, and an overall good person. All the businesses Jon has created are designed and intended to help people and to give back to the community.

In my professional dealings with Jon, I have found him to be incredibly honest and true to his word. Real estate transactions are sometimes difficult and come with surprises, but Jon consistently showcases a high morale compass, even if it comes at his expense. His professionalism shines amid adversity, and I have the utmost trust in how he operates. Real estate investors are often labeled as untrustworthy; however, Jon excels in redefining that stigma.

I remember how hard everything was financial, I used to work 15-17 hours 7 days a week, and my financial situation wouldn’t get better. One day I met Asrorjon Shukurov, he gave me his advice and guide of all the process to change my life. Five years later I am the owner of an established company with my own employees and more time for my family thanks to now that I have a better financial situation.

In many ways, Jon’s story exemplifies the classic immigrant tale. He worked incredibly hard to go from being a cleaning service employee to owning his own cleaning company. He has handled his growing success, and all its demands, with great positivity and maturity.

I have been working with Interworld Cleaning Company for 3 years. I learned a lot of processes and was taught how to make independently contract with customers. While working with them, I was able to make tuition fees from school and increase my English. Asrorjon advised me to do my own business after knowing my mobility, nowadays I have my own LLC cleaning company.
