John
was a great realtor to work with. I spoke to many realtors in my
life and John is easily the most knowledgeable. He understood the
military well and was able to guide me through the process of selling
my home in an extremely tough real-estate market. He was also the
only agent I spoke with whom had an understanding of the army's
Home-owner Assistance Program (HAP). John most impressed me at the
close of my home sale when, despite not getting anymore money in his
commission, he fought for my interest and was able to get me an
additional $500 at the time of closing. I have sold four homes in my
life and John was head and shoulders above the other three realtors.
Not only is he easy to speak with but he has a great handle on the
business and financial side of real estate. Please do not hesitate to
contact me with any question.
Sincerely
Dr. Matthew Kidd, Captain, US Army, Medical Corp

About two years ago my wife and I started the search for our first home. We
were extremely excited and optimistic. We were using another agent with a
different firm and we were not seeing anything close to the house we were hoping
to find. We started to question everything - Where we being unrealistic? Did
the type of house we want not exist in our area? The process of finding a home
was becoming overwhelmingly frustrating. We met John through mutual
acquaintances and stayed in touch. While discussing the current market and our
situation with John, it became quickly evident that John's passion and knowledge
of not only our local market, but the real estate business and the housing
market as a whole was much stronger than our current agent. We decided to make
a change and asked John to help us find a house. Without question, that single
decision was the best decision we made in the entire house hunting experience.
In the previous two years, we had seen dozens of house
s but none got us excited to the point of purchasing. When we started looking
with John, most of the houses he showed us were what we wanted and a few got us
really excited - we had options! Long story short, within weeks of starting to
work with John, we had found our dream home, negotiated and were under contract.
After that, John advised us through the mortgage, inspection and closing process
and without question saved us money and frustrations in every step of the
process. In less than two months working with John we found, purchased and
moved in to our new home. We would like to express our wholehearted
appreciation for John and his commitment to finding our first home. We would
not have found our house without his passion, drive and knowledge. Simply put -
because of John, we have a home. Thank you!
