What Our Clients Say
As a first time home buyer John was exactly what I needed. He offered great expertise on the Grandview area and really helped guide me through a fast paced and competitive market. John was able to find an off market home for me that was exactly what I wanted. This made it so I didn’t have to focus on other buyers but rather on the important things in the process. John is very responsive and extremely professional and I will definitely be using him in the future!
John was very willing to come meet us at any time when we were on the hunt for a house in a pinch. He found something in our budget that fit nearly every need and also helped us close quick. He is on top of the market and watching for upcoming listings on the radar so we had everything chance possible to find our home!
John is sincere, honest, hard-working and professional every step of the way. He is easy to work with and provides exceptional customer service while maintaining the highest level of integrity. We have worked with him for a few years and highly recommend him.
John was exceptionally responsive, professional, and knowledgeable from day 1. My wife and I purchased a home this past spring and counted ourselves lucky to have John assisting us. Even in a difficult market, we felt confident that we would find a perfect home because we were in such good hands (and we did). We would and will recommend him to anyone.
John made the entire process easy and was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He provided excellent guidance and recommendations for negotiations and offer strategies during a competitive time in the housing market. All necessary documents were created and provided quickly. He was very accessible and prompt with all communication. His use of current technology allowed us to save time, keep things very organized, and simplified the entire process. I would highly recommend John to anyone who is looking for a realtor.
John was and continues to be a great agent. He helped my dad and I buy our first investment property in Columbus and we have been working with him ever since to find more. He continues to work hard and be a great help to my dad and I to find properties around the Columbus area and we wouldn’t rather have anyone else!
