John Spencer

People often refer to this guy as John “The Mayor” Spencer because he will talk to absolutely anyone and he is genuinely interested in each person he meets. But do not think for a second that he is too busy to help; helping is his passion. John is the kind of guy that you can call to catch and release a snake from your screen porch, to talk about grilling, boats, and skiing, and meet in his workshop to build cool stuff like birdhouses (and other secret projects to aid in future snake captures). Little known fact: it was John’s idea to get involved in real estate investing over 20 years ago. He and Jennifer got their real estate licenses together, bought old houses, and fixed them up to make nice homes for families who then rented them. It was like a home improvement show without all the cameras and fame! Seriously, he would have been the darling of the small screen, they just know it.

John is originally from upstate New York; born in Buffalo, grew up in Syracuse, and went to college at SUNY Geneseo where he was a competitive swimmer. He moved to (then from) Boston to North Carolina in the early nineties. John traded his snow skis for water skis, began his career as a commercial real estate broker, and then worked as the Real Estate Director for the NC Railroad. He has slowly lost most of his distinctive upstate NY accent because when you marry a true southern girl like Jennifer, it tends to happen. He is a very proud father of four, and according to his family, his “corny dad jokes” are both annoying and not at all entertaining.

John is the master of growing his business, nurturing strategic alliances, and taking great care of his clients and tenants. It is what makes the TEAM at Spencer Properties the best of the best.
