Specializing in luxury properties and resort communities throughout California and Arizona, John has built his career on providing clients with a seamless, informed, and rewarding real estate experience.
Having grown up around the business—helping his mother, a successful Bay Area broker, host open houses—John discovered early on the importance of relationships, trust, and deep market knowledge. His background in pre-construction and new home sales has equipped him with invaluable insight into design, development, and investment potential, giving his clients a distinct edge whether buying, selling, or building their dream property.
Currently licensed in California, Arizona, Hawaii, and Florida, John has represented clients in some of the most desirable markets in the world, from Malibu and Lake Tahoe to Oahu, Maui, Naples, Scottsdale, Cabo San Lucas and The Bahamas.

Clients appreciate his professionalism, responsiveness, and ability to anticipate needs before they arise. He prides himself on being more than just an agent—he’s a trusted advisor and partner throughout every step of the process.
An avid triathlete and proud parent of two, John enjoys surfing and snowboarding with his daughter and son when they make time to hang with their "hip" dad (John's words, not theirs). Alexis studies communications at University of California San Diego, Dominic is a business major at University of Arizona. They intend to finish school and buy their dad an island.
With unmatched experience, a passion for service, and a lifelong connection to real estate, John is the agent clients trust to turn their lifestyle goals into reality.
