John went way above and beyond supporting me through selling my home and buying my new home. He was very knowledgeable about the market and answered all of my questions as we went through many, many homes. He doesn’t live close by, but was always willing to drive and meet me even if the house was out in the woods.  John does A LOT of behind the scenes work that we will never know, but with all of that said, i was able to see my home to a couple out of state and find my new home! I would highly recommend John to any of my friends and family!
