John was amazing from the start of the listing process to post closing. I don’t live in Kentucky, but the house that I needed to sell was in Frankfort. From the minute we engaged John he went over and above to get the house ready to list. He connected us to, and coordinated, the various contractors needed to get the house ready to go on the market…AMAZING!

John was quick to respond when I had questions and never made me feel like a burden.

John is supported by an incredible team and together they hit it out of the park for me! So grateful. 🙏

Throughout the experience, John was positive, informative, and motivating. I'd recommend him to anyone.

Amazing Agent . John Groft was the agent on the recent sale of our house in the Pinnacle in Lexington, KY. He walked us through each step of the process and made selling our home a breeze. Our house sold quickly thanks to John's hard work.

Through every step, he was very communicative and upfront about any issues we could run into. We really enjoyed working with him and highly recommend his services!

Being a First time Homebuyer is an an exciting but overwhelming process, and I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor to guide me through it. From the very beginning, John took the time to truly get to know me and understand what I was looking for—even before we started touring houses. Throughout the entire process, they were incredibly knowledgeable and transparent, walking me through every step and ensuring I knew exactly what to expect.

Their expertise, patience, and commitment made this experience so much smoother than i could have hoped for, and I can’t recommend them highly enough!

John is a very knowledgable and seasoned professional that understands "the reallies/reallies" of how real estate transactions take place. He is extremely patience and takes pride in finding "the right one" for his clients. Hardworking, very communicative, and trustworthy. I have been involved in many real estate transactions and non are ever perfect, so it's vital to have someone like John on your side and leading you through the process. I would recommend John highly for both, first time homebuyers, and people buying or selling their second or more homes.

John is very patient and helped us look for recreational land. I am sure he was wondering if we were serious or not but he never showed his doubt and was always willing to help and drive to out of town properties to walk them a dream with us. He never expressed any frustration and remained kind and professional. John is very knowledgeable and has a great team to help him. His expertise protected us from our lack of knowledge about what to look and ask for regarding raw land and future use. He also arranged for our closing at his office for ease of travel for all.

Thanks John

As first time home buyers, we are so grateful for John Groft! We decided to buy our home during a crazy buyers market, but John helped us every step of the way and made it as stress free as possible. He told us from the beginning that he would give us advice as if we were his own children, and he did just that. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area, provided encouragement when we needed it most, and was always available for our questions or a chat. John helped us find a home that ticked all of our boxes, and we would highly recommend him to anyone who is searching for their perfect home!

This is an honest real review. I’m going to keep it simple and short. John made buying our second home really easy. His market knowledge in the area we wanted to live in (40515/Veterans Park) was miles above the rest. And that’s what we wanted. Someone who knew the ins and outs of this specific area. I really don’t think we could have picked a better agent than John. He was super chill, available anytime we needed him. He made buying our second home almost effortless, like really easy . Id also like to mention that he just gave off this “good vibe” all the time. I know that sounds different but if this is an honest review then I feel you should know because your probably reading this trying to decide on what agent to go with. If we ever buy a home again, hands down we will only use John Croft. “Thanks John for helping us every step of the way with the purchase of our forever home, it was truly a pleasure.” The Blake’s.

He made the home buying process so smooth, something that really was appreciated in the stressful and important experience of buying a home.
My son has bought two homes and sold one with John. He was a first time home buyer with the first home he bought with John’s help , and he made sure my son learned everything he needed and to make the most informed decision possible. I wouldn’t go to anyone else for help buying or selling a home!

John has been our realtor for both of our houses. This past year we built a new house and sold our old one and needed to get both done in a very tight timeline so we didn’t have to rent or make arrangements to stay somewhere else until the house was finished. We also had a complication of a water main break weeks before listing which wasn’t going to be resolved before we had to get the house on the market. It was a very stressful time, and potentially could have ended up costing valuable time and considerable money if the process didn’t go smoothly. John was able to negotiate us a deal to sell our house for a considerable profit, and was able to get it so we closed on the sale of our house on the same day we signed on our new house. He was always available to keep us in the loop during this process, I can’t say I wasn’t very nervous but he came through with flying colors. He did it for us and can do it for you.

We have purchased two homes through John Groft and listed one. He is probably one of the most organized and kindest people I have met - and as a Realtor, he makes sure you have all of your ducks in a row throughout the entire process so that everything goes smoothly. Our home sold within hours of being listed thanks to his amazing skills and network. He listens, genuinely cares, is understanding and incredibly knowledgeable about Lexington and the Real Estate market. In addition, when you have questions he is very responsive. We love our new home and are so thankful we were able to work with him! I highly recommend him as both a listing or buying agent!
