Home is where life-long memories are made and long-term financial goals are realized. The place you live should be more than a house. I believe that the Seattle area is one of the most wonderful places in the world to call home and that the community you live in is as important as the physical roof over your head. I understand that buying or selling a home is a big emotional and financial decision. I know the joy of getting the home you want, but also the disappointment of losing the one you had already moved into in your head. I’m passionate about sharing my love of the Seattle area, getting to know my clients, and making sure we get the best price and terms possible. I’m personally familiar with the many phases of home buying and selling, having been on both sides multiple times—from owning a home as single person, to getting married and buying “our” home, multiple remodels, having kids, navigating schools, and ultimately building a custom home in our “forever” neighborhood. I enjoy applying my experience from over 270 home sales to working with all types of home buyers and sellers across all price points and in all types of markets.

“John is a superb real estate agent! He is knowledgeable about the Seattle area and very personable. Buying a home (especially during a pandemic) can be nerve-wracking. However, John put me completely at ease throughout the entire process. He answered all my questions, sent properties that were within my price range and in the areas that I wanted to be in, and even put me in touch with professionals, including a locksmith and painter, who could help me transition into my new home. I would highly recommend John to anyone looking to purchase a property in the Seattle area. I guarantee you that he will do everything he can to get you the home you want.”
