About John
A career in real estate was a natural progression for John, who has a professional appreciation for fine design and architectural styles. Before joining Turpin in 1992, John worked with an interior design firm in Manhattan and studied architecture at Pratt Institute and the Parsons School of Design. He chose Turpin for their impeccable standards and imaginative working style. Looking back over his twenty-year career in real estate, John has amassed a loyal following of clients and enjoys working with generations of families. Consistently a top producer and member of Turpin’s Million Dollar Club, John has earned professional respect and trust among his long standing clientele, and among his colleagues. His tireless worth ethic and enthusiasm for the real estate industry is evident with each transaction, whether it involves the sale of a townhome or a luxury estate. When the time comes for a licensed agent or a member of the administrative staff at Turpin to buy or sell their own homes, John is often recruited to represent them. John’s vast knowledge of the business, his trained eye for fine design and his meticulous attention to details are traits that have served his clients well–whether it be applying his interior design experience when preparing their home for sale, or his passion for exceeding all expectations in helping them find their perfect home. The consummate professional, John also embraces ongoing educational opportunities, staying current and informed about the trends within the real estate industry. John grew up in Morristown, and enjoys living and working in this beautiful part of the state. He has volunteered for many years with the annual Gladstone Antiques Show, a fundraiser for United States Equestrian Team in Bedminster, serving as Event Chairman for the last three years. John also volunteers to organize Turpin’s involvement with many local community events held throughout Mendham. And when he’s not selling or showing real estate, John enjoys spending time with his family, gardening and traveling. Understanding, patience, a willingness to work hard, a strong ethical foundation and a promise to go above and beyond what’s expected of him are the qualities to which John’s clients and colleagues attribute his success-qualities which have made him an indispensable member of the Mendham office.

About Elizabeth
A leading area Realtor since 2001, Lisa is an esteemed professional who is completely dedicated to her clients’ needs. When reading through her long list of testimonials from grateful buyers and sellers, there are many common themes that shine through, ranging from Lisa’s expert guidance, diligent follow-up and detailed market knowledge to her outstanding service, open communication and willingness to go above and beyond. It’s easy to understand why Lisa represents so many repeat and referral clients; she has been described as exceptionally organized, efficient, patient, understanding and kind. Not surprisingly, many buyers and sellers continue to rely on Lisa’s sound advice and call her a friend long after closing day. Lisa has been a member of Turpin’s President’s Club for many years, an honor reserved for the company’s top producers. She was also named a Five Star Professional by NJ Monthly magazine in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2021. Continuing her education in the real estate industry is important to Lisa, who holds the ABR (Accredited Buyers Representative), CNE (Certified Negotiation Expert) and SRS (Seller Representative Specialist) designations from the National Association of Realtors. These designations demonstrate her commitment to expanding her industry knowledge, which she passes along to her buyers and sellers. Before entering the real estate field, Lisa held several management positions in client-based industries including an international seminar company and a symphony orchestra. This background proved to be an ideal foundation for real estate since it enabled her to refine her problem-solving and customer service skills. Born in California, Lisa lived in Washington, D.C. and several New Jersey towns including Short Hills, Chatham Borough and Basking Ridge before moving to Tewksbury Township. Her husband’s career in the pharmaceutical industry took their family to Germany and North Carolina. “Between 1991 and 2002 we relocated six times,” Lisa recalls. “Those moves enabled me to become a knowledgeable and experienced resource for others since I understand the value of having a reliable, focused and dedicated agent in your corner.” Active in her community, Lisa is a member of the Raritan Headwaters Association, the Tewksbury Historical Society and the Tewksbury Land Trust. She and her husband have two married daughters and six grandchildren. Her free time is spent with the grandchildren in addition to gardening, reading, cooking, traveling and exploring the many beautiful areas New Jersey has to offer.

Working with Barbara as a buyer has been beyond wonderful

Working with Barbara as a buyer has been beyond wonderful. She is very professional—not just with us but with everyone she works with including lenders attorneys contractors inspectors and the seller—and extremely knowledgeable.My husband and I relocated from San Francisco and we had so many questions about everything. Barbara went the extra mile and did additional research for us. She asked around so she could give us the answers we were looking for.She is detail-oriented listens carefully to what you need and want and takes your preferences into account. She held our hand through every step of the process. I had to leave for a trip around closing time and she even paid my husband a visit when the movers came.She made herself available and accessible and always had a joyful spirit. She endeared herself to our 4-year-old to us and to my mom as well. I have a lot of respect for her and highly recommend her as an agent. Thank you Barbara!

John has been nothing short of fabulous in all aspects of our transaction: from planning the sale it

John has been nothing short of fabulous in all aspects of our transaction: from planning the sale its timing pricing preparation and advice to brilliantly producing all collateral materials (copywriting photography videography) to finally managing competing offers and guiding us to the final sale. He did it all while showing great appreciation and understanding of our home and always with grace and humor. Selling a home is stressful by definition but he made the process easy and even fun. He perfectly understood our priorities and we felt heard and cared for throughout. We would recommend John without question or hesitation to anyone.

Richard was most helpful in the sale of my house.

Richard was most helpful in the sale of my house. He worked very hard to solve my problems. He was always available when I called or got back to me promptly. I couldn't have asked for a better realtor.

This is my second time working with Dru

This is my second time working with Dru Wimmershoff and my first time working with Turpin. Though our home sale and home purchase were a bit of a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs Dru kept us grounded and on track every step of the way and Turpin was a great resource and support throughout the process. Dru goes above and beyond. She truly cares about her clients and has become a trusted friend. We will recommend her and Turpin to anyone looking to sell or buy a home. We had a great experience!
