From relocating our family to finding our dream home, John was there every step of the way!

From relocating our family to finding our dream home, John was there every step of the way!

My husband & I first connected with John through his Moving to Georgia FB group while exploring relocating our family from Miami due to high housing costs. After sharing our situation, John was welcoming, knowledgeable & uncommonly generous with his time. He helped us understand areas we considered & made a huge life decision feel less overwhelming. Over a year later & ready to buy our first home, John was there every step; As our search expanded into unfamiliar areas of North Georgia, his local expertise proved imperative. He took the time to understand what mattered most to us, including commute times, neighborhood feel, homeschooling opportunities, budget & details that make a home. As first-time homebuyers, we had a lot to learn. John kept us informed, answered every question with patience & gave honest advice, even when it meant steering us away from homes we loved that weren’t the right fit. He even shared local spots in all areas. When we found a new construction home that felt out of reach, John’s guidance & negotiation skills helped make it possible. He ensured inspections were handled properly, kept everything on track & always looked out for our best interests. Having someone we could trust was invaluable. What stood out most was his positivity. Even when homes didn’t work out, he encouraged us & said we’d be in our home by the end of the year. He was right! We closed on 12/30/25 and moved into a home exceeding all we hoped. John’s support didn’t end at closing. He continued checking in, sharing homeowner tips & reminding us about warranty deadlines. It’s clear he genuinely cares about his clients long after the transaction is complete. John’s professionalism, honesty, attention to detail & genuine care set him apart. Whether you’re buying, selling, relocating or investing, he’s the realtor you want by your side. We’re so grateful for his guidance, friendship & dedication throughout this journey. We highly recommend him for all your real estate needs!

Excellent communicator and very knowledgeable about the current housing market

Excellent communicator and very knowledgeable about the current housing market

I cannot recommend John Grimes highly enough! My house in Acworth had previously expired multiple times with another agent, and I was beginning to lose hope that it would sell. The property needed some work and backed up to a very busy road, which made it even more challenging. From the beginning, John was confident, professional, and had a clear marketing strategy. He arranged professional staging, high-quality photography, and aggressive marketing that made a huge difference. Thanks to his expertise, he was able to find a buyer quickly and secure a great price for my home. Throughout the entire process, John made everything simple and stress-free. He provided helpful referrals for trusted professionals when needed, kept everything on track, and fought hard on my behalf during negotiations. He was always available to answer questions and kept me informed every step of the way.  What was a frustrating experience with the previous agent,  John turned this process into a smooth and successful sale. I felt supported, confident, and well represented from start to finish. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, hardworking realtor who gets results, I highly recommend John. Lastly,  when I purchase my next home,  I will be using John.

An amazing house for our family!

An amazing house for our family!

John helped us find an amazing house for our family! I found out about John through a Facebook group after my husband accepted a job in GA. We didn’t know many people or areas here yet, being from MO. We knew we wanted to be in close proximity to my husband’s workplace and that we had a limited budget but also a whole list of things we’d love to see in a house for our family, and John brought us out to see multiple houses in different areas to get an idea of what we were looking for! When John sent us the listing for this house and we asked about it, he arranged for a colleague to show it to us later that day while he was working with another client. I’m so glad for his quick responses and attention to that, because it was a great house at a great price for the neighborhood that we wanted to jump on quickly! John took us to go see the house again the next day and wrote up a contract that was accepted by the sellers. Throughout the whole “under contract” period was so helpful to us, especially as we navigated the due diligence. He negotiated hard for us to get concessions from the seller for things discovered in the inspection, which was a big help. Closing was very smooth! I would definitely recommend John to anyone, he is incredibly knowledgeable and very attentive and helpful!

Dependable, trustworthy and knoweldgable

Dependable, trustworthy and knoweldgable

John is a solid and responsive agent with many years of experience--and therefore knowledge--of the Atlanta-area real estate market (he focused on the northern suburbs with me). He helped me find a great place that fit my needs in a market where that wasn't easy. All aspects of the sale went smoothly. He recommended and assembled a great team to assist, including my mortgage consultant (Becky Nelson) and lawyers (Cook & James). I highly recommend him.

John is also an investor so he knows the investment side of real estate well. Help has helped our family buy several rentals and he always looks out for us.

Hands down BEST REALTOR in Georgia

Hands down BEST REALTOR in Georgia

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ So many incredible things I can say about John! He truly goes above and beyond as a realtor. He showed us what felt like over 100 homes and carefully listened to everything I wanted in a home (and even the things I didn’t realize I should be looking for). He was attentive, detail-oriented, and always had my family’s best interests in mind. We were moving from Florida to Georgia and knew nothing about the state or its areas—yet John never hesitated to meet us across five different counties! He not only showed us multiple homes in each area, but also took the time to recommend local parks, fun places for my kids, great restaurants, and even discussed school systems to help us find the right fit. When I had to tour homes alone with my two small children, John was an absolute lifesaver. He was like a long-lost uncle—ready to hold a sleeping toddler or chase after an energetic little one while I focused on the house. John isn’t just a realtor; he’s truly a blessing. His patience, knowledge, and heart made this stressful process an enjoyable journey. Hands-down, the best realtor in Georgia!

Canton house

I had a great experience with John and would recommend him to anyone looking for a house. He is not into just selling you a house, he wants you to truly love the house and be happy with it. John answers all texts and calls promptly and arranges showings as quickly as possible. He cares about the client very much.

Second Home we have sold with John. And if we have another we'll call him again.

Second Home we have sold with John. And if we have another we'll call him again.

John helped us sell our mother-in-law's house in record time for more than the asking price. He came up with the right strategy. He helped us with reliable vendors to get the house ready quickly, and it sold in 5 days, and we had multiple offers to choose from. His communication was great and his knowledge of the market was greatly appreciated. When we get ready to sell a home again, John will be our only call.

6th transaction!

This was the sixth transaction I’ve done with John, and once again, he exceeded expectations. His professionalism, deep market knowledge, and consistent follow-through make every deal smooth and stress-free. Selling my lot was no exception—John handled everything with efficiency and clarity, keeping me informed every step of the way. I truly value the trust and reliability he brings to every transaction. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again or recommend him to anyone looking for a top-tier realtor.
