About John

John Friend - Real Estate Broker

Friends Real Estate Services is an established Murphys/Sonora based Real State Company with 3 Offices. We are a fully Licensed independent Brokerage serving the Gold Country in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and portions of the eastern San Joaquin Valley. Broker and Founder John Friend brings 32 years of Real Estate experience to the table.

During his many years appraising properties in the foothills and the valley, he appraised well over 10,000 homes in five Counties. He knows all of Tuolumne, Calaveras and Amador Counties extensively, as well as San Joaquin and Stanislaus Counties. This knowledge of the market in multiple Counties allows John to suggest other foothill areas that are similar to where the clients started their searches hat have better pricing and/or inventory, and allows him to suggest areas that fit his clients best needs and interests.

"As a Broker who has been in the Industry for 32 years, I am very familiar with the local markets in the Counties we serve, and their many quirks. I love helping people find the property that suits them best, and there is nothing more rewarding to me than a satisfied customer." John was the President of the Calaveras County Board of Realtors in 2020 and 2021, and on the Board of Directors of the Tuolumne County Board of Realtors in 2024 and 2025.
