John has been in Manhattan real estate sales, and at Halstead, for over 20 years. His stellar record of performance and results is evidenced by his consistent ranking as a top-tier producer, and a multiple repeat award winner at the firm. Despite his pride in these accolades, John considers the immeasurable loyalty of his clients and the ongoing referrals he receives the most important part of his success. He is committed to providing personal attention to every buyer and seller, complemented by a seasoned knowledge of the industry, neighborhoods, inventory and deal-making process. John is as much an educator as he is an expert. He believes in thoroughly explaining the market conditions as well as pricing strategies, property types and details of the transaction, so that clients clearly understand every aspect of their purchase or sale. His savvy negotiating and eye for design afford him an added advantage, and further distinguish him from his peers when dealing in the New York City Luxury real estate market. John has lived or worked on the Upper West Side of Manhattan for over three decades. His professional real estate expertise is enhanced by his personal experience as an investor, owner and renovator of several properties. Originally from Upstate New York, John moved to NYC at age 17 to pursue a career in theatre. He attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, and spent several years on the stage, television and in commercials. John is accustomed to working hard and finding new ways to approach people and situations, embracing each day with a refreshing and vibrant attitude. Outside of real estate, he is an amateur genealogist who has traced his familys history back to the mid-14th century. He studies French and enjoys traveling. John loves being a father to his boy/girl twins, attending soccer games, school concerts, and dance recitals which are some of his favorite activities. As a former distance runner, he enjoys being outdoors, as well going to the theatre, movies and museums.
