About John

After earning a B.S. and Masters Degree from the School of Architecture and Planning at Catholic University of America, John turned his enthusiasm for design in directions as diverse as custom homes and international planning. In order to better understand market forces and their affect on cities, he trained with nationally recognized real estate consultant RCLCO. In 2011, he recognized a market need for real estate being represented with a design-adds-value approach, and the Alter Urban Group was founded for sellers who want to maximize their sale by correctly preparing their properties for market, and for discerning buyers who want to customize their new home to their own specific needs and taste.

I was referred to John through a friend and could not be happier I was. John was well versed on the DC market and helped me narrow down my search to the right neighborhood and home. He also seamlessly helped me navigate the difficult HPAP (DC Housing) program. When I was ready to make an offer, John expertly advised me on timing and price, and as advised, I was able to beat out other interested parties on the well-sought-after home. Ultimately, John helped me find the perfect home and made the home-buying process as stress free and easy as possible. Even after closing, John continues to stay-in-touch to ensure everything with the house is as expected. Would absolutely recommend to any potential homebuyers in the area!

John stepped in mid-way through our home search when we lost confidence in a previous realtor. He was attentive and generous with his time, and obviously loves houses. Our search was a little heterodox - we were looking for some features that aren't common - and John responded by showing us a pretty wide variety of places, which helped us rule some things out and focus on others. Once we found and offered on a home, John shepherded us through a 13-day (!!) closing.

John is extremely responsive, professional, and uplifting when you feel like you might be waiting forever for a home that's perfect for you. John helped us connect with other excellent professionals and facilitated a 13 day closing on our home. Definitely work with him!
