View All ListingsWe are thrilled to share our experience working with John as our realtor. Having worked with him for a few years now, we can confidently say that he was instrumental in helping us find and buy our first home. From our very first meeting, John demonstrated an impressive knowledge of the local market and took the time to understand our preferences and needs. He was always patient, answering all our questions and guiding us through the process every step of the way. John was proactive in identifying potential homes and was quick to schedule viewings, making the search process enjoyable and efficient. When it came time to make an offer, he advocated for us and ensured we got the best deal possible, all while keeping us informed and involved. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor to guide us through this exciting journey.
Ive know John for over 20 years. He helped us buy our duplex in 2014 and when it was time to sell it this summer he was right there to help us along each step of the process. Hes knowledgeable, responsive, and professional. I wouldnt even consider a real estate transaction without his input!
John was an excellent choice to represent us in this massive purchase, top notch, John absolutely works for his clients, he would answer every question thoroughly and explain it to us, highly satisfied with his work, day or night he was extremely dependable to count on.
Our experience working with John was great. He understood our needs and helped us locate property that met those needs. He was always very responsive to texts and calls. He walked us through the contract and closing processes. We were very pleased.
I had previously purchased a home with John as my buyer's agent. He was as great this time as he was before. I contacted John to see if he thought a difficult property, that had been vacant for years, was even sellable. He made an appointment right away, went through the house, and assured me it could be sold. With his vast expertise & contacts, he had people looking at the house right away & had an offer extremely quickly. He answered numerous questions & treated my parents home with respect, even though it was in poor condition. I am forever grateful to John. Both for being so great at his job, and for being such a great person that takes care of his clients. If you're looking to buy, or sell a home, John is the 1 to get things done!
John has proven to be very knowledgeable about our situation, letting us know what to expect for different possible inspections, etc. thus saving us time and money while getting my mom and step dads mobile home ready for sale. He was also super patient as we both work full time and it took a couple months to get it ready to be listed, checking in on us from time to time and always getting right back if we called or texted him for answer, he understood that my step dad was made to leave the state as he required full time care, he made it possible for us to get a great price, which was super for my step dad's financial stability, at 87 he was amazed of the outcome of the sale! I would recommend John to anyone that I know, he is not only a Superb Realtor but a genuinely kind person also.
JOHN CIEPIELA IS AN EXCELLENT REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONAL!! I HAVE MULTIPLE PROPERTIES AND HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR YEARS WITH REALTORS BUT NEVER HAS A PROCESS BEEN SO EFFICIENT OR SEAMLESS. WE CLOSED IN RECORD TIME AND THERE WERE NO HITCHES WHATSOEVER SINCE JOHN TOOK CARE OF EVERYTHING SO PROFESSIONALLY!! I WOULD RATE HIM HIGHER THAN FIVE STARS!! HE WAS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT EVERY ASPECT OF THE SALE AND CLOSING AND MADE SURE THAT EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT BOTH FOR MYSELF AND THE SELLER. IT WAS MY FIRST TIME BUYING THIS TYPE OF HOME (MANUFACTURED) SO I WAS VERY THANKFUL THAT JOHN WAS ON BOARD TO FILL IN THE BLANKS AND EDUCATE ME ON THINGS THAT WERE UNKNOWN TO ME! HE DESERVES 10 STARS!!
We were fortunate that paths cross with John, the seller's agent for a home we recently purchased. He was extremely responsive, trustworthy, and fair. Many times through the process, he went well above and beyond to provide valuable referrals and information. We would be glad work with him in a future transaction.
John recently sold our home and throughout this time, he frequently contacted us to update us on the progress. He always made us feel we were in good hands and gave us confidence that the house would sell soon. He had our best interest in mind and stood up for us when necessary. Thank you John for being such a great realtor! I would recommend him to anyone!!
John helped us navigate the process of buying our first home. He held our hands, reassured us, negotiated for us and made it happen. He made himself available to us at all times when we had questions. Because of John, we have a beautiful new home.
I worked with John this spring buying my first home. He was easy to get in touch with, knowledgeable, timely and friendly. I look forward to doing business with home again in the future. I would not hesitate to recommend John to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Berkshires.
John is a awesome realtor, very knowledgeable, professional thru and thru. John will go above and beyond for you to find you that perfect home. He makes buying easy walks you through every step of the way. I would highly reccomend John to all my friends an family looking to buy or sell.
Our experience with John started about two years ago we looked at so many houses together. He really listens to his clients and rises to the need of whatever you are looking for. He was not just someone looking to push us into a house. He is so knowledgeable and very friendly he made the process so easy when we were ready to buy! He told us about houses that were coming on the market before they were even listed as well. He has a very large network of clients as well as any kind of service you may need. Everyone he recommended was very good at what they did. You will not go wrong with John he is very respected and trusted in the world of real estate with good reason. All around would absolutely recommend him for any real estate need you have ...He will get the job done and in the right way!!!
John is a professional thru and thru and you won't find a better person. He came to me with an offer on my home that wasn't even for sale and I couldn't refuse! We started the process of finding another house to purchase. His knowledge of the area, real estate, and the inspection process is endless. John maintains constant communication during the whole process. You'll find him to be the best in the business...if you're buying or selling John is the realtor to have!!
John was the only realtor I had in mind to sell my moms house. He is very knowledgeable, caring, compassionate about finding the right fit, selling or buying. John put moms house on the market and in 4 days we had an offer! I cant say how pleased I am with how quickly this process moved for me. There is only one name you need to know when it comes to this, John Ciepiela. Thank you John!!!
John did a great job. Everything went smoothly because of his knowledge and expertise. His communications and response time was excellent. I highly recommend him.
Great honest agent. He was very helpful during the entire process with both his knowledge and expertise and responsiveness was also great. I would highly recommend John for any of your real estate needs.
We would recommend selecting John as your realtor without hesitation. Our property is wonderful but more difficult to sell because it is in a rural and remote hilltop setting. We had used a well known, prestige realty brand last year and virtually no demand was raised. Their sales process was very reactive. We changed to John when we put it back on the market this year and his energy, diligence and strong efforts made all the difference. His team was extremely proactive across social media platforms with continuous reverse inquiry efforts. He immediately set up a series of Open Houses for realtors and interested buyers and got good throughput which generated much higher level of demand. He remained continuously active on social media. All these efforts paid off almost immediately. Where demand was non existent in 2018, suddenly there was multiple interest (and I don't think the market has improved). Within weeks, the property, which had languished for the entire prior year, was well positioned for sale. Three months later we closed with a full price offer. John's diligent and tireless effort made all the difference.
John went above and beyond to help us sell and find our new home and to help with the closings of selling and buying homes within a few hours of one another. For the most part, the whole e was taken care of. From the day we listed our home for sale to the day we closed. Scheduling this would have been a nightmare, but John handled it all.
Our family recently purchased a home with John working diligently as our buyer's agent. His honest approach was paramount in the process. John advocated for us while maintaining stellar professionalism! Throughout the experience we felt very comfortable with the work he had done for us. We would absolutely reach out to him for future transactions. He was also quite knowledgeable with local contractors. We purchased a home in need of renovation. John saved us quite a bit of money.
John was great. From the beginning to the end he stayed in communication with us about everything. He represented us as a buyer and he fought for us. He was fully understanding of all our concerns and worked diligently to address them and be sure they were taken care. Definitely made the experience a much smoother one.
John said hed sell our home in a reasonable time frame and he did! Hes trustworthy and sincere. He takes care of every detail in the sale of your home. One of the best realtors in Berkshire County and a pleasure to work with.
John was extremely knowledgeable in selling my parents home. He was able to sell the house for a good deal more than other realtors quotes. He was also able to guide us and advise us on the process from the very beginning to the very end. I have already personally recommended John to 3 other people and would recommend him to many more. Selling homes is definitely John's expertise!
John sold a home me I had inherited in Berkshire County. I live in South Carolina. While making only one visit to the area to hire John, he was able to handle all the necessary details, contractors, negotiations and the closing without me being present. He also was able to get over $20,000 more than the next closest relator had suggested. Reputable, Responsive and a Trustworthy!

John gave us excellent guidance when we were preparing our parents' house for sale. He made recommendations regarding repairs and upgrades, provided referrals for the work that needed to be done, and even made several of the arrangements himself. He was very knowledgeable about the market and very clear when explaining all of the ins and outs of the sale. He met with us several times at our convenience and was always available by phone whenever we had a question or concern. He listed our parents' house at a very fair and reasonable price, we received an offer the first day it was listed, and accepted an offer only 10 days later. John made a painful process much less difficult and we are very grateful for his assistance. I highly recommend him as a real estate professional.
I decided to look out toward the Berkshires for an affordable home, coming from Worcester County. Had an appointment to look at a double wide mobile home and met John. I was interested in purchasing, and John became a dual agent working for the buyer and seller. John was very professional with all my needs for the home. John took us on a tour of the city several times to get to know the area. I felt like we were cared for by a family member.Thank you for all your help, and showing us good places to eat as well.I would highly recommend John for all your Real Estate needs!!!
John was tremendous. We had a contract within two weeks and he was thorough and professional from start to finish. Great at keeping us in the loop and smoothing any and all bumps in the road. Could not have asked for more.
John was great to work with! I would definitely recommend him to someone buying a house! John was Very nice and easy to work with, always answered calls/text in a timely manner!
Thanks to Johns help we now live in our first home. He was the best realtor we couldve asked for and we will recommend him to all of our family and friends. He responds quickly, is very knowledgeable, and talks you through everything to expect. When we need a realtor again we will most definitely use John. Thanks John!
Because of John's hard work and consistent efforts, we were able to celebrate Thanksgiving in our new home. John was positive and motivated, and we never thought twice about asking him a question. We knew his response would be prompt and honest. We would highly recommend John. He took a sometimes stressful process and always worked to make it accessible and manageable. Five stars all around!-Annie and Matt
John came highly recommended by a friend of ours (a retired former realtor) after the house had been on the market for two years. We'd had very little constructive feedback from potential buyers and were at a loss as to how to proceed. We met with John and were impressed by his knowledge of how to use social media to find potential buyers. When we had one insulting lowball offer, John agreed that we would not counter with anything but the full price. When a different buyer made an offer that was close to what we wanted, we had confidence that John was advising us on a counter offer that would not scare the buyer away and that was within what we hoped to get. And throughout the inspection and appraisal process, he dealt with contractors (for fixing small things the inspector found), the individual who put in the smoke/CO2 alarms that were up to code, the fire inspector, and the appraiser. Most of what we did after we accepted the offer was to make sure the house was cleaned out and the lawn was mowed. All in all, a very pleasant experience.
Great guy always available. Always checked in and kept me up to date with the process. Excellent knowledge and just a overall pleasure to both be around and do business with.
After calling and emailing many agents in that area and getting little to no response, I contacted John. I was frustrated that no one would sell me the house I wanted. They all upsold me and told me why I shouldn't buy that house! John was different. He sent me every house in the area with daily updates and didnt mind chatting with me about the different areas and what they offered. The house we wanted had sold a few days before and it was an amazing deal. John said he loved a challenge. When I saw another house I loved, I called the agent listed, to be kind. No response. So I called John and signed an excusive selling agreement.. He hired a house flipper to inspect the property for a low fee as we couldnt be there. We bought the house with John's expertise and never saw it until we were closing on it. John is THAT GOOD! We bought a house we never saw in person because John gave us such great photos and reports all we needed to do was sign some papers. The house was beautiful and he even knew a car service to get us back to the airport. At this moment he is coordinating repairmen and contracters for us. When you hire John, you get his team of everyone in town who does everything. And he didn't upsell us, he negotiated the house down once we found it!
John recently helped me close on my first house in July 2012. I met John when I went to one of his open houses and chose to use him as my agent because of his friendliness and expertise. John and I looked at houses for quite a while and he was very patient with me. He set up all my appointments and gave good advice on the houses I looked at. I would highly recommend using John as a buyer's agent.

John helped my husband and I buy our first home in 2009, soon after the birth of our first child. He tirelessly went on house-hunting expeditions with us, offered excellent advice about how to learn what we wanted in a home, and was truly in our corner when it was time to negotiate a deal on our dream home. John expertly coached us through obtaining the necessary inspections and repair estimates, even when the seller made it difficult. I have recommended John to friends looking to buy a home, and will continue to do so. When it's time to sell this house and move on, we will definitely be working with John!
I would recommend John for selling your home. Our house was on the market for less than a year and John was very aggressive at getting people over to look at the house. He is very informative and knowledgeable. You will not regret hiering John to sell your house.
John sold our home in Windsor, Ma quickly and efficiently. We were then concerned about finding a home to suit our needs. He reassured us, not to worry, that he would find the perfect home for us and that he did.I would highly recommend John to anyone either looking to purchase or selling.a home. He takes care of everythng. NO WORRIES, NO STRESS. Client satisfaction and happiness is his main concern. He goes that extra mile as we found out. .
John is a true PRO. He knows all the ins and outs of the trade, is very helpful, has a good sense of humor and is friendlyHe has my house listed in the winter of 2011. My wife and I go to Florida from Jan. to May.Without being asked he has gone to the house every week to make sure everything is OK ! I call that being CUSTOMER focused !!!
John approached me when my house started the foreclosure process. I had no idea what I was going to do. He not only helped me sell my home in a time frame that satisfied the bank, but he also made me a profit on the home, avoiding the foreclosure.
