John has been involved in hundreds of transactions totaling close to $400M in sales while collaborating with top professionals in the Southern California real estate industry. He has been consistently named to the Wall Street Journal’s “Real Trends” top 1% to 1.5%, throughout the past decade.
Extensive Local Knowledge
An asset to both local residents and buyers relocating to Los Angeles, John is a wealth of key community information on the various micro-markets that make up the ever-growing LA real estate landscape. His clear understanding of the nuances of each neighborhood has proved invaluable to clients, particularly those new to the LA area.

John has also been retained by local universities to consult and provide analysis and key information of the LA housing market for the recruitment of faculty and staff adding to his depth of knowledge and skills.
Excellent Industry Reputation

His experience and relationships within the industry provides a clear understanding of the right agents to engage and work with in a transaction.
Unique Team Approach
John and his experienced associates take a very personal approach when listing a home and do not hand off showings or prepping the property to inexperienced team members. They work collaboratively with clients in establishing the right price point and marketing strategy to help create a successful experience. Over 70% of Skinner Estates listings sell in multiple offers. As a top producer at Compass, the #1 Real Estate Brokerage in the United States, John has direct access to in-house marketing and design teams as well as the Compass Private Exclusive platform, allowing his team to pre-launch a listing and test the market interest before officially launching publicly. The access to the Private Exclusive platform is also a great value for the buyers he represents.
