About John

Are you looking for a REALTOR® who puts his heart and soul in the business??!!! With over 200 reviews on Renowned, you can hear from others why my customer service speaks for itself. I have sold over 320 homes ranging from beach houses, retirement homes, new construction, and relocations, among many others, totaling $30 Million in sales volume in 2024. I pride myself on working around the clock to fulfill every client or customer's needs. I'm a firm believer in the GOLDEN RULE. I was born and raised in Lewes, Delaware. My father was a Contractor for over 35 years! So, you could say that homes and properties are in my blood. Growing up at the beach and in a resort town has given me the knowledge I need and background to really see what people want in properties. From vacation homes to permanent residencies, I strive to use the knowledge I have gained my whole life to the service of everyone I work with.

John Zacharias is a top tier professional realtor!

We had worked with John Zacharias when we purchased our beach house in 2017. He did a great job so we called him again when we decided to sell that house in 2026. John did a superlative job listing, marketing and selling our home in record time!

Outstanding Real Estate Experience with Bill

I had an outstanding experience working with Bill as the agent for the sale of my home. From start to finish, he handled every issue that came up with professionalism, expertise, and incredible efficiency. His guidance throughout the closing process was invaluable, and his advice was consistently spot on. Bill made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable every step of the way. I would recommend Bill to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy real estate agent.
