Joh truly is an excellent agent: knowledgeable, responsive, and great to work with. in our case, we were in a time-crunch and John came thru for us and facilitated the process with great efficiency. there is no question in my mind I'll be using his professional expertise the next time I purchase a home in the Kalamazoo area.
Very tough time to find a house in this market, he was able to find us our dream home before it got on the market. Given how much houses are selling for right now we were are to get within our budget. He also sold our house, and was straight forward about what we needed to do to make sure it sold for what we wanted. He made everthing for simple for and is very comfortable person to talk to about anything. We told him what we wanted in a home for our family and he made it happen. Couldnt have asked for a better relator.

My newest trusted dear friend! John offered great expertise, professionalism, and a relaxed. but purposeful experience. I couldnt be more thankful for the process he was able to provide. Highly, highly recommend!
John is a great realtor, very informative and transparent, checking in when possible to see how things are. Answered questions we probably asked him a dozen times about the process. Has a very positive attitude and you can tell he has a personal investment in helping you get what you want. I highly recommend him as the Agent to be used to find and purchase a new home or sell your home.
John was excellent... responsive, knowledgeable and great to work with. While we do believe we found our "forever home" in the event something changes we will of course contact John again to facilitate the process. John was understanding when we were anxious to get into the house and accommodating with showing us new places.
You're in great hands with John! Our closing had many ups and downs because of items found during the inspection but John navigated them so well and kept us informed and educated throughout the process. He worked extremely hard to get the deal done and even worked during a holiday while he was on vacation! His dedication to his job is impressive and we were so happy to meet and work with John!
I was a first time home buyer who just happened to be matched with John when I inquired about a home on Zillow. Couldn't have been luckier to get paired with John. He is extremely knowledgeable about the entire home buying process and willing to answer any question honestly, no matter how trivial of a question it may be. A huge plus is John's background in home repairs and renovations. With this background, he is very quick to spot small details in a house (positive or negative) that others would walk right past. I appreciated his honesty when pointing out issues in homes we looked at. He isn't a realtor that is just out to get you into any house so he can cash his check. John wouldn't hesitate to tell you when a house is not worth asking price or to tell you to just walk away from a house. He's very patient and more than willing to look at numerous homes until you find the perfect fit. I also appreciated how available he was. Willing to look at houses at any time of day, even on weekends. I'll definitely be recommending John to any friends and family looking to purchase a home in the area and I'll be giving him a call if I ever decide to sell my house in the future!
Working with John was a fantastic experience. He was quick to respond to all of our questions, provided great insights to the various communities we explored, and was straightforward in his recommendations and negotiations. As first time homebuyers, John walked us through the process beforehand, which allowed us to feel prepared for the day we found our perfect home. John also provides very helpful referrals to other professionals which made our experience as first time buyers smooth and easy. We could not be happier with our buying experience! We highly recommend John!

John was very knowledgeable, personable, and professional. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone. I met him at an open house, loved what he had to say. I was in the process of looking for a home when he offered his services if I needed help.It was wonderful to find a person like John that was more than willing to help with everything and anything.
John was great to work with! He was extremely responsive and proactive. Walked us through the bidding and purchase process and his experience and expertise was invaluable. He always had our best interest in mind. I can't recommend him enough!
Ive bought two house with John. He is a hard working realtor and deserves each penny he makes. Hes sharp on time and honest in opinion. He once showed me a house and upon checking it he advised me not to buy the house because it had a bad foundation. On another occasion I liked a house and bought it with him but he wouldnt let the purchase go through before insisting on making another visit to the house and take a second look at the basement. Once he checked the basement was ok he went on and proceeded with the buying process. I highly recommend working with John. Its rare to see an honest person now a days.
This was my first time with buying a home, and all things tied to such. John was an absolute pleasure to work with. I was very nervous on every step, and John put my mind at ease with everything. Every question i had, no matter how small or insignificant it seemed to me, John made it a priority to clearly answer all questions, and validate all of my concerns. He was very knowledgeable about everything i asked and was an amazing help with picking the home for me. 100% would work with him again, and hopefully i get the chance to again in the future. Thanks John, you rock!
I was a first time home buyer and he was very patient and willing to explain things I didn't understand. Was able to work with my schedule even on the weekends.

John was outstanding in helping us purchase our first home. Constantly available for my 100s of questions. He came highly recommended from 3 separate people and did not disappoint. He made sure all of my questions were answered. We were on a tight deadline to find a home and John took us looking the very next day after I contacted him! Would definitely recommend!
As a first time homebuyer, and the first person in my immediate family to buy a house, I didn't know anything about the process when I started looking. John was great about explaining the process and getting me in touch with the people I needed to to get ready to buy a house. He showed me about 6-7 houses until I found the one I wanted, then we went to make an offer and there was a mix up at the mortgage company that led to us not getting the house. After that we looked at another 4-5 houses and when we got ready to make another offer I was laid off from my job for 9 weeks. John called me once a week all 9 weeks to stay in touch and when I got back to work we went right back out looking at another 7-8 houses. He gave me great advice about locations of houses and the availability of rental income in different areas, and has a great knowledge of Kalamazoo. All this led to finally having an offer accepted after over 8 months from when we first started looking. John was always available at any time, always great at staying in touch, and had very helpful insight on the houses, especially with ones that needed repairs. The house I bought was $55,000 but with How much work John put into getting me in my house over such a long period of time and with so many bumps in the road, you would have thought I was a client buying million dollar homes. I've already given his business card to 2 coworkers and would refer anybody I know to him.
John was beyond amazing when helping my husband and I buy our first home. He listened, was patient, gave honest advice, and helped us through the whole process. If we had questions, he would call and or text us back immediately. Even after 5 pm and on the weekends! We would proudly recommend John to anyone looking to buy a home in this area.
