John Lajara

Real Brokerage

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

About
Born and raised in the Bronx, New York, and fluent in both English and Spanish, John Lajara began his real estate career over 17 years ago, helping buyers, sellers, and investors throughout New York City and Westchester County. After relocating to Fort Lee, New Jersey, in search of a suburban lifestyle while remaining close to New York City, John noticed many of his clients were making the same move. He later became licensed in New Jersey to better serve clients on both sides of the Hudson River. Since then, John has helped over 1,000 clients achieve their real estate goals.

John has been recognized among the top-performing agents in his marketplace, including being ranked among RealTrends’ Top 1% of New York and New Jersey agents and the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NAHREP) Top 250 Latino Agents in the United States.

Throughout his career, John has learned that real estate is about much more than marketing a property or finding the right home. His experience helps clients negotiate the best terms, minimize risk, and properly handle the setbacks that can arise during a transaction. This commitment to going above and beyond for every client has resulted in over 90% of his business coming from referrals, word-of-mouth, and repeat clients. John’s goal is to become his clients’ trusted real estate resource for life and earn their friends’ and family’s business.
