Hear from Our Clients
“Being a first time business owner, I really needed some 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. I will be using him when I expand and would not go to anyone else."
AnnMarie Fisher, Owner of The Back Nine Golf
“When it was time for our business to pivot and sell our building, John made the process as smooth as possible. He was patient, attentive to my needs, and offered valuable insights every step of the way. 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 & Co.
"Great working with John. Seamless transition and sale of property from beginning to end. Even while I was out of the state the entire time of the process. Highly recommend his services and expertise!"
Dr Maria Papich-Forsyth DDS
“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 of West Ave Land Development
"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 effected me for the next two decades. No other commercial realtor came close this this type of detail and care"
Dan Carbone, CEO of Virteom LLC

Ron Antal, CPA, MST, Managing Director of RCG Tax Partners
"John was a tremendous help to us when looking for a space for our business. After trying to find something on our own, we decided to seek help and we are so happy we did. We ended up with a great place that fit our needs well. Size is right, price is right, landlord is right. Will be recommending him to anyone who asks."
Elle Lucht of Transformative LLC
"John was extremely helpful in the search for commercial space. I was pleased that he listened to the needs of my business and sent office recommendations that were appropriate. I was very impressed with his response time, kindness, interaction with other real estate agents, and his attention to detail. John had no problem inquiring about lease terms and conditions, negotiating, and assisting with all the details. I would recommend anyone looking for commercial real estate to work with John!"
