FAQ
1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
The first and most important step when buying a home is finding a strong, experienced agent who will truly guide you through the process—not just open doors. Work with someone who has years of local expertise, patience, and a teacher’s mindset to help you understand every detail along the way. With over 20 years of teaching and real estate experience, I make sure my buyers feel confident, informed, and never rushed. Once you have the right agent by your side, everything else—like financing, searching, and negotiating—becomes much easier and far less stressful.
2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
My best advice for sellers is to start with the right partner—an experienced agent who understands how to prepare, position, and market your home for top dollar. With hundreds of successful sales and years of hands-on experience, I help my clients stand out through our exclusive Certified Pre-Owned Home Program, which includes pre-inspection, staging, professional photography, and more to attract serious buyers and higher offers. I also lead our Protecting Heroes Program, which gives back to our community’s first responders, teachers, healthcare workers, and military members. When we combine smart strategy with genuine service, selling your home becomes a confident, rewarding experience.
3. What types of clients have you worked with?
Over the years, I’ve been honored to work with a wide range of clients—first-time buyers, growing families, investors, and luxury homeowners. As a former police officer, firefighter, and teacher, I have a special place in my heart for our community’s heroes and proudly serve them through our exclusive Protecting Heroes Program. I’ve also helped countless sellers maximize value through our Certified Pre-Owned Home Program, and I enjoy guiding clients at every stage—from their first home to their forever home. My approach is patient, educational, and always centered around my clients’ goals.
4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
One recent transaction that stands out involved a local firefighter and his family purchasing their first home. Through our Protecting Heroes Program, we were able to give back a meaningful reward at closing while helping them compete in a tough market. We used my Certified Pre-Owned Home Program approach on the sale of their previous property to attract multiple offers within days. What made it special wasn’t just the smooth process—it was seeing a Hero’s family achieve their dream with less stress and more savings. Moments like that remind me why I love what I do.
5. How did you get started in Real Estate?
My path to real estate began after years of serving my community as a police officer, firefighter, and teacher. Those experiences taught me the value of trust, communication, and helping others—skills that naturally carried over into real estate. I wanted to continue making a difference in people’s lives, just in a new way—by helping them achieve homeownership and financial stability. Over time, that passion grew into leading RE/MAX Service First, where I now guide clients, agents, and our community with the same dedication and integrity that started it all.
6. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?
Yes — I earned my Master’s in Management from Cardinal Stritch University and my Bachelor’s in Marketing from UW-Whitewater, which gives my clients a strong advantage in negotiation, strategy, and communication. Beyond formal education, I’m a former law enforcement investigator, property manager, and college professor, and I bring that same level of professionalism and teaching mindset to every transaction. I’ve also developed exclusive programs like the Certified Pre-Owned Home Program and Protecting Heroes Program to give my clients unmatched value and confidence throughout the buying or selling process.

John Gscheidmeier was pivotal in advising me throughout the process of getting my house ready to sell I knew I would have work to do on my end as far as decluttering He helped with pinpointing things that were necessary to do and things that were nice to do as far as prepping the house In the end all my work was worth it I highly recommend John Monica and Remax Service First when wanting to sell your home

John and his team are exceptional Their deep knowledge of the market both big picture trends and local nuances combined with cutting edge analytics helped us target the best possible sale price for our home Leveraging the latest software and data they ensured our listing reached every possible buyer When progress stalled John kept us on track pivoting swiftly and strategically Most impressively he stood out as a seasoned professional navigating a field of eager but inexperienced buyers agents with unmatched expertise and poise We couldnt have asked for better representation
