Reviews

Outstanding professional! We have been investing in real estate for over 38 years and John is by far the best agent!!!! He is on top of all paperwork and makes sure repairs are done quickly and with quality. He knows the market and is always spot on in his price point.
Over the course of almost a year we worked with John to find a home in the very competitive LA area. From the very beginning and more importantly through to the end he was very quick to respond to any of our questions and always helpfully sending us new postings and offering advice on the best tactic to take that fit our family. He was never pushy and always had a smile. A house, with a yard and a garage in our price range is not an easy find. He did it even in the crazy market.

I especially appreciate his attitude even when we decided to stop looking due to the high prices and the months and months of searching. Our price range was really the hardest thing to work with as we had a hard upper limit that really was not realistic, but patience paid off and we are so thankful to have had John working on our side.

Thank you!
John was great. We are in the house we fell in love with! He was always available when we called and helped us navigate all of the paperwork that goes with buying a home. He turned down the wrong street, saw a realtor removing an Open House sign, and pulled over. It was not on our list of houses to see. And now we've been here for over and year and it's been life changing
John helped us find a great deal on a home in 2009 and that started out relationship with him. Throughout the years we've kept in touch and when we moved, we used him again to help us rent the house in a long-term contract. After we relocated to northern California, John again helped us find a new house, drove up from LA, walked through the property with us and helped us negotiate the deal. I would highly recommend John. He always goes above and beyond what is expected of him and we'll always have him as our first call for all our real estate needs
John went all out to help me and my family find the perfect home - my first, too. He knew the neighborhoods, he knew what the prices should be, and he was always on top of sending us new options even when it took us a while to find the right place. Then he helped connect us to inspectors and even finance options we hadn't thought of. You are in good hands with John.
John was instrumental in helping us find the right house for us when we moved to California. His knowledge of the area was remarkable, and he was able to advise us in all aspects of the purchase. He advised us not just in the basics of what we should look for but also in some of the intangibles we should consider. Even more important to me, he was a pleasure to spend time with as we viewed houses and took the time to get to know me and my husband, so he was more able to find homes that suited our needs. I highly recommend him
John is an amazing realtor! I worked with a few people before I met John and I was sooo happy when I met him. He helped me buy my first condo and was very helpful! He's extremely knowledgeable, resourceful and helpful and you will not regret using him as a realtor! :) He's super responsive and reliable and has even helped me after the condo was finalized. You can't go wrong :)
