what they're saying

client reviews

“John’s accessibility and willingness to go beyond the call of duty made us feel very fortunate to have him as our realtor.”

“John was accommodating, knowledgeable, thoughtful, creative, and most importantly, a zealous advocate on my behalf.”

“Throughout the entire sale process John remained professional and polite. He understood my client’s particular concerns and needs. Escrow closed on time, John’s client was able to move in on the day he wanted to, and my client had the property sold without any undue pressure or complications.”

“I appreciated John’s ability to manage the various parties in the process, including myself, the seller's agent, the escrow company, and all the different inspectors we used during the contingency period.”

“John and Alexis’s support was present through every step of an extensive and successful renovation – and then – an extremely short marketing, showing, negotiating, and closing of the sale, for our full-asking price, to an excellent and well-qualified buyer.”

“Thanks to John and Alexis’ wide array of expertise and experience, we were able to make excellent choices in all phases of this process – from renovation and design, to pricing, marketing, working with the building’s HOA, and selling.”

“John’s professionalism, honesty and ability to help us navigate a particularly challenging escrow process made what could have been a difficult transaction much smoother. We appreciated his candid and friendly approach and felt like at the end of the day he was 100% in our corner and had our best interests at heart over anything else.”
