About John

Helping You Navigate Real Estate with Confidence Buying or selling a home can be smooth and successful—and even enjoyable with the right Realtor at your service. With a unique blend of real estate insight, good business sense, and personal experience, I use my background sincerely to help others, guiding clients through the process care and confidence My background is unique and geared for your success. In addition to providing service as a Realtor, I have been a real estate investor for many years, buying and selling homes as the client of many different realtors, just as you are now considering. My hands-on experience as the actual customer many times over, provides me with a deep understanding of the personal interest you hold and the emotional aspects we’re confronted with as customers. I understand the challenges from both sides, and I’ll advocate for you as if it was my own deal on the line. Important values such as reliability, promptness, persistence, diligence and honesty are the beacons to which I commit. Those values are combined with a deep knowledge of our area and keeping up to date on local market conditions. I’ve established direct relationships with area HOA’s, service providers, and an array of lending and settlement resources that you can use as well. Along with the backing of the experts at Coldwell Banker Elite these skills and qualities will give you a distinct competitive edge with me as your agent. My approach is simple: listen first, observe carefully, and build a custom plan that matches your needs. Whether it's your first home or your fifth, I’ll work around your schedule and remain available at all times and be fully present throughout. In addition to real estate, I served as an area Postmaster, I hold a B.A. from Kean College of New Jersey, served as wrestling team captain in high school and college, and was honored with the USPS Sustainability Award. I’m also a proud Partner Member of the Virginia Holocaust Museum. Outside of my interest in real estate, I enjoy fishing, birding, fitness, caring for family pets and mother earth, and spending time with my wife Jo Ann.
