Looking to sell your property, buy a new home, or just need some expert real estate advice?

About
I am a highly experienced real estate broker focused on assisting out-of-area buyers in investing in the South Florida waterfront and luxury real estate market.

I believe my combination of experience in real estate, mortgage lending, and financial services, coupled with my background in economics, sets me apart from most agents. If you need an agent who can guide you through the entire purchase process—from selecting the right home and preparing a sound, reasonable offer based on financial and market considerations, to providing thorough information about financing options and identifying the best places to obtain loans—then I look forward to hearing from you.

As a native of Fort Lauderdale, I grew up on our waterways and beaches, offering a local perspective to my clients interested in purchasing waterfront property.

We happened upon John inquiring about a property he was the listing agent for. Our agent at the time at made some mistakes my wife & i were not pleased with. John was forthcoming in regards to past contacts/customers for referrals. From that point on John was EXACTLY what we needed since we were new to the state and area. To simply sane John is now Uncle John to us. He truly makes you feel like your are someone in his family and will take care of you in all areas. John doesn't just talk the talk he walks it. He truly is the epitome of what a realtor should be for you. I guarantee you will not be disappointed in your relationship with John and his team.

I was referred to John by a close friend of mine who struggled during her home buying process until she met John. At the time (2010) when I was looking to purchase my first home, I too had similar struggles with finding the right Realtor. I'm in the mortgage business, so needed to make sure I found some one patient enough to deal with me, who was knowledgeable and most of all that had a sense of urgency. That Realtor was John. He is great at listening to your needs and wants and matching it with your budget.

In 2013 when faced with a decision to relocate and the need to rent my house, I again knocked on John's door and he answered. Within 2 days of having the property listed for rent, I had a tenant. Each process worry and trouble free.

In 2014, my tenants decided not to renew so I again called upon John for his expertise. Within minutes he had comparables for me to review for a rent vs. sale decision. He listed for both and successfully was able to find a buyer for my home within a month of listing. John knows the market, has great sense of urgency and I will continue to use him for any future real estate needs that may come up in the area.

Thanks John for all your hard work!!

John helped us in a tough market when Investors were buying up everything. He was our 3rd agent.We were ready to give up and rent. John marketed on our behalf that we were a family looking for a great personal residence and not investors. We landed our home because of his innovation and network. Forever grateful.
