While completing his Bachelor's Degree in Management at Pepperdine University, John owned a successful aviation business. He integrated his knowledge of marketing, technology, customer service and vendor values to revolutionize his business. By treating everyone as a trusted friend, he built up an outstanding reputation as both an honorable guy and a candid, reliable business partner. This dedication to personal service extends firmly to his real estate career. The same traits that allowed him to thrive in a highly regulated industry through two recessions also makes him a valuable asset when selling or buying a home. John's negotiating skills from years of dealing with lawyers and the federal government give him a competitive edge, and his proactive, personable nature allow him to create incredible real-estate opportunities for his valued clients. Above everything, John understands that purchasing or selling a home is one of the most life-changing decisions one can make, and he always strives to make the process as stress-free as possible. His client relationships are built on the same principles as his personal ones - complete respect, mutual trust and open communication. His experience gleaned from working at The Agency in Beverly Hills has been priceless. Being surrounded by the raw driven talent and exceptional professionalism of the agents and brokers of The Agency has resulted in the opening of Element Realty, Inc. John's dream of owning and managing his own real estate brokerage has become a reality. Joining the Next Home franchise in 2017 brought a solid marketing and technology platform for his agents and brokerage. Now four years in with Next Home, John has opened offices in Malibu and Simi Valley. With acquiring his Nevada broker's license, John's next expansion is in the Las Vegas area to better serve his clients. John believes real estate, whether local or not, should be serviced with the same high quality his brokerage affords. Selling homes up and down California has become his passion. John is the broker/owner of NextHome Element Realty, a member of the National Association of REALTORS, the California Association of REALTORS, the Santa Barbara Association of REALTORS, the Malibu Association of REALTORS, Southland Regional Association of REALTORS, and the Greater Las Vegas Association of REALTORS. He is very proud to be working side by side with the fellow agents and brokers at NextHome Element Realty. John has three amazing girls, enjoys flying, cycling, and fine wine.
