About John Bruno

After two decades shaping the editorial voice of Westchester Magazine and its affiliated titles, most recently as editor-in-chief, I've brought my seasoned storytelling skills, deep local knowledge, and editor's eye for detail to the world of real estate. I've joined the Coldwell Banker Realty Katonah-Bedford office and am fortunate to be collaborating with Marc Tessitore (MarcSells.Homes) of Coldwell Banker Realty Greenwich. Marc is an elite agent ranked in the top 1% of U.S. real estate professionals and the top 5% of over 100,000 agents worldwide for Coldwell Banker Global. Together, we help buyers and sellers navigate the markets of Westchester and Fairfield Counties with expertise, strategy, and heart. I bring to each transaction an insider's knowledge of our communities-not just the data points, but the pulse and personality of each neighborhood, from downtown high-rises to private cul-de-sacs. My extensive background as a lifestyle editor and longtime contributor to regional media gives me an intimate understanding of the area's towns. I know the vibe of the different areas of the county, the personality of the main streets, the feel of the parks, the rhythm of the school districts, and the hidden gems only locals talk about. I bring a deep familiarity with what makes each pocket of Westchester unique. Having grown up in Rye and later settling in White Plains, I now proudly call the beautiful hamlet of Goldens Bridge home, where I live in the welcoming lake community The Colony. In tandem with my real estate work, I continue to serve as Special Sections Editor for The Recorder , a weekly newspaper covering Bedford, Lewisboro, Mount Kisco, and Pound Ridge. This keeps me closely connected to the hyperlocal stories and people that define this area-insights I carry into every home search and sale. Whether assisting first-time buyers or listing legacy family homes, I approach each transaction with the same thoughtful strategy and client-focused mindset that made me a trusted name in local journalism. Backed by Coldwell Banker's global network-and the elite collaboration with Marc Tessitore-I help clients not just move but truly arrive home.
