Commercial Real Estate from a Business Owner's Perspective
Most commercial realtors in Cleveland can show you properties. I bring something different.
I built County Fire Protection Inc. from scratch into a 65+ employee company covering Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. We were named 12 times to Crain's Cleveland Weatherhead 100 fastest-growing companies. I bought buildings, negotiated leases, managed tenants, and dealt with the real challenges business owners face.
In 2018, I sold my company to private equity. Now, as Vice President at Hanna Commercial Real Estate, I help other business owners navigate those same decisions.
I've been the buyer, the seller, the tenant, and the landlord. I analyze every deal the way I would for my own portfolio - because I'm still an active commercial real estate investor. That's the difference.

What My Clients Say
Don't just take my word for it. Here's what business owners and investors say about working with me.
"John went way above and beyond any other commercial REALTORs. He was the first REALTOR that I felt had my business in mind and not his own. He also connected me with a financial consultant who helped me make informative decisions that would have otherwise affected me for the next two decades. No other commercial REALTOR came close to this type of detail and care."
Dan Carbone
CEO of Virteom LLC
"Being a first-time business owner, I really needed help and guidance when getting my commercial lease. John has such a wealth of knowledge and was always around to answer any questions I had. I could not have done this without him and I refer him to all the other franchisees in my area."
AnnMarie Fisher
Owner of The Back Nine Golf
"John was able to fill 2 suites in a rental that were empty for 4 years. We tried 2 other brokers with no success. Could not be happier with John as our broker."
Jim Croyle
West Ave Land Development
"Working with him felt more like a true partnership than a typical transaction. I was thrilled with the outcome - we found the perfect buyer to carry our historic building into its next chapter."
Justin Lepley
CEO of Lepley and Co.
