Meet John

Broker Associate

Business Philosophy:

With more than 20 years of proven leadership experience, I am excited to return to real estate as a Broker Sales Associate, bringing a renewed commitment to excellence. My career began in 2004 at the Coldwell Banker Clifton office, where I quickly became a top-producing associate within just three years. Motivated to deepen my expertise, I earned my Broker License and was fortunate to step into a leadership role with Coldwell Banker Realty.

My mission remains simple: to exceed every client’s expectation! I am dedicated to delivering a real estate experience that is professional, ethical, and truly memorable - one built on trust, clear communication, and genuine care for the people I represent.

Testimonials:

"I agreed to meet you as a favor to a colleague. I agreed to just a cup of coffee at an off site location. You see I had no intention of leaving my current broker (Re/max). I was there for 15 1/2 years and before that I was at Weichert for 9 1/2 years.

After talking to you for over 2 hours, Wow I still can't believe that. I was sitting there thinking "Oh my God I am actually considering this!" It all sounded too good to be true so I went home and thought about it, met with you one more time to see all of the wonderful resource's Coldwell Banker has to offer not just for me but for my clients. You see at this point in my career it really is all about my clients. a great deal of my business is referral so that was very important to me.

Well I can't believe its been over a year now and this office really is as good as you said it would be. The agents all work together and are very kind to each other. My biggest worry in the move was that I didn't know anything about the inner workings of Coldwell Banker and how to process my business. I have to say you were wonderful in helping me with the change over. I remember calling myself Miss Needy for a while. I will never forget my first week in the office I took a listing and you stayed with me LATE to show me how to get it on the Market.

I am very happy with Coldwell Banker as a company and especially you John as a Manager. Everything you told me was true. If you have any agents on the fence I encourage them to reach out to me."
