John is a pro

My husband and I have worked with John on two transactions, the first time when we bought our home in Chamblee 30+ years ago, and then when we recently sold it for over 3x more. There's simply no one better at evaluating a property, assessing what needs to occur to maximize its value and navigating the listing/sales process. I was more than stressed when we first started, worrying about what we'd need to do to prepare our home for sale. But my anxiety dropped minutes into our first meeting, as John reassured us about what was truly important in showing the house and what was not worth worrying about! He was right...we achieved the highest price any house in our subdivision has ever commanded. And though it was quite challenging orchestrating our move, John's calm, rational approach made all the difference. He navigated the inevitable snags along the way masterfully....drawing on his extensive realtor experience, as well as his legal and construction backgrounds in a way very few real estate agents could. He'll tell you the truth and will help you sell your home as quickly and painlessly as possible. If you have the opportunity to hire John as your agent, do it!

Seamless Process

John was a fantastic advocate during my home search. He was attentive to my million questions, gave solid advice. and walked me through each step of my first home buying experience. John was easy to engage with but also professional - a real pro.

John is a real professional!

John has been at this a long time and knows his stuff. He knows how to best handle those odd situations which always seem to occur. Best of all.....he earns his fee! So many brokers get the contract signed and then do as little as possible until they show up at closing to pick up their check. John helps you navigate the entire process, from advice on contract documents, appraisals, inspections, even your move. Also a skillful negotiator, John seems to save me several thousand dollars every time I buy or sell a property. I highly recommend him to you.

John is the best! He was thorough and professional and great to work with. He kept me apprised about any new developments and his communication was top notch. He was honest and forthright- no games. After dealing with other agents in the area and being disappointed, I felt lucky to find John.
