His unique background includes a B.S. from Catholic University and a M.A. from their School of Architecture, plus ten years of experience designing luxury homes. His evaluations of properties for homebuyers includes expertise in design, construction and renovation costs as well as his ability to supply all the relevant comparable sales, so they can make smart decisions. John's knowledge of area real estate, plus his keen eye for design makes him the perfect listing agent, both in preparation and staging to give the properties optimum appeal and concise pricing for an optimum sale situation. At the age of 25, John started an architecture firm with a colleague, and for ten years they have been designing high-end residential and commercial spaces throughout DC, Maryland and Virginia. Their firm has received acclaim in such publications as Home & Design and Dwell. By 2011, John discovered that he had unique capabilities for real estate sales. Not only that, but the satisfaction of knowing how well he could find the right properties for buyers, and maximize value for sellers convinced John to go into residential real estate sales full-time. His appreciation for good design gives him the competitive edge in the world of luxury real estate, and the gratitude of his clientele gives him tremendous positive emotional feedback. " I truly fall in love with the properties I prepare for market and list, and that's how I am able to get optimum prices for my clients."
