WE MAKE REAL ESTATE EASIER

Originally from upstate New York, John moved to the Lowcountry in 1985 to attend the College of Charleston. After graduating with a business degree in 1988, he worked in various sales positions before starting his own printing and marketing company – Direct Marketers of Charleston. What started as a home-based side business for John and his wife Diane, grew into a full-scale print and mail shop with a storefront and 12 employees.After more than 20 years in the printing/direct mail industry, they sold their company to a local printer and John’s transition into real estate began. Helping other businesses with their advertising needs was something John always enjoyed. “The thing I loved about owning Direct Marketers of Charleston was helping small businesses with their advertising needs. It was great to meet with a business owner, listen to their challenges and then come up with a plan to achieve their goals. Working with customers in real estate is quite similar.”Real estate was in John’s blood at an early age. His parents owned several properties and he was responsible at a young age for helping with the upkeep. Now recognizing that buying and selling a property can be a stressful process, John works diligently to arm his buyers and sellers with knowledge and market insight. “Being prepared when confronted with a big decision is invaluable to make the right choice and feel good about it.”With a client’s best interest at heart, John not only represents his buyers and sellers to the best of his ability, but guides them every step of the way.College of Charleston ‘88Charleston Area Resident Since 1985Spent over 20 Years as a local Small Business OwnerMember of Charleston Trident Association of RealtorsMember of National Association of Realtors
