About
John has been fortunate to have had a wide array of experiences during his 25-year real estate career. Immediately after college he began working for the family real estate company, which at the time was a discount real estate company. They did their listings by volume, so John had the opportunity to list over 700 different pieces of property while selling for that company. In 2001 John assisted in the formation of a new real estate company called Chapman Hall Realtors. Before moving to Saint Simons Island in 2009, he was fundamental in the foundation of franchise sales for Chapman Hall Realtors in Atlanta. John was able to help sell six franchise offices before moving to the Georgia coast, where he opened up his own Chapman Hall Realtors office. However, nothing John has done in real estate has been as rewarding as joining forces with Engel & Völkers and opening up his own shop on St. Simons Island. It is truly an amazing brand with unbeatable tools and resources.

John Hallman was always approachable by phone as this was an out of state sale for me. He made himself available due to time differences and always had time to explain the details to me. He was kind, positive and confident. John was great, I would use him again in a heartbeat! Thank you John Hallman!!

Barbour Island could be a hard place for most brokers to sale your home. I was advised by another owner on the Island that John and Engel & Volkers sold her home after she had it listed with many other brokers in the area for 2 or 3 years! ...he sold it within 3 months !

So at her advice and she being a broker herself, I decided to put it on the market with Engel and Volkers and it was a smooth quick sale...we had a contract within the first week and closed that month!!

Thanks again John and Jason!

Also the pictures that were taken by their photographer were so great that it added to all my memories of that special place! I am forever grateful!

John is a first rate real estate agent. He is honest and straight forward. He took the time to understand our needs and to help us find the right house for us. He is highly responsive and, even three years after helping us buy our house, he has still been helpful to me when I was working on a tax matter. I would highly recommend him.

John Hallman listed and sold a vacant lot and a home for us. Both of these properties were for an Estate, therefore these listings and sales were very difficult due to the legalities and the emotional attachments involved. From the very beginning John was very professional, knowledgeable, supportive, honest, understanding and compassionate. In the process of selling the house we encountered some problems due to the age and structure of the home. This did not affect the work ethics of John, he held steady and continued to work hard with the goal of selling the home. I was very impressed with John keeping me informed on the process of the sale of the properties. I live in a different part of the state and he would call me continuously advising me of the showings and the prospective clients. When it came time to close these properties John was there to assist and advise me. I was pleased with John Hallman and would highly recommend him.

John Hallman is the best and working with him was a wonderful experience! He is extremely knowledgeable and is one of the most responsive people I have met. John helped us find and close on our house and he is still a helpful resource for us now. He handles every question and request with genuine and careful thought. He is a kind, honest - extremely professional and this combination makes working with him a breeze. I recommend him often!

John listed our house during a very difficult time in the housing market. They did an excellent job identifying and reaching qualified buyers for our property. We look forward to working with them again when we are able to return to Saint Simons.
