About John

I am a customer service-oriented real estate agent who works with home buyers and sellers in Florence, Oregon. If you're looking for an agent with patience, perseverance, and a passion for helping people, then you've found him! Following a Passion for Real Estate I’m a third generation Oregonian and have lived in the Florence area for over 30 years. My wife and I have five children, all of whom have grown up in the Florence area, and I have served as a Board member of the Siuslaw School District for over seven years. I chose real estate as my career path because it allows me to use the customer service skills I acquired during my seventeen years as a real estate appraiser, and it gives me a chance to serve the community I love. I've always been interested in real estate, and I'm fortunate enough to do it for a living. What Makes Me Different from Other Agents You have a lot of agents to choose from, so why choose me? Here are a few reasons: Service: I’m not new to the real estate industry. My seventeen years as a real estate appraiser have helped me to understand the real estate industry from multiple angles, and I plan to use this experience to create an exceptional customer service experience for my clients. "Customer service" is more than a catchphrase to me—it's a way of doing business. Coaching: Success in real estate starts with education. You have to understand the nuances of the local market, the dynamics of supply and demand, and how these things affect you as a buyer or seller. If you work with me, I'll make sure you are well informed at every step of the process so you can make smart decisions. You deserve nothing less. Contact: You'll have a lot of questions during your real estate transaction. Everyone does. And you deserve to know what is happening at all times, and what needs to happen in order to reach the finish line. If you choose me as your real estate agent, you'll enjoy constant interaction and communication. You'll always be in the know. A Smoother, Less Stressful Real Estate Experience Buying or selling a home can be exciting, but it can also be stressful. It's particularly stressful for first-timers and those who have a short timeline. I know this firsthand because I've been there myself. I work extra hard to keep my clients informed and to make the process as smooth as possible. When I'm not helping my clients, I enjoy reading and exploring the beautiful Pacific Northwest. My wife and children like to go hiking, diving, fishing and sightseeing through the national forests in our area. If you have any questions about my real estate services, or what I can do to help you, please don't hesitate to ask. I look forward to hearing from you!
