John Bathurst

★★★★★
"We were so fortunate to connect with John early in our house search in the South Bay when we were readying our Oakland home for sale. With his life long experience in the area, he offered his knowledge to us regarding current market trends and helped guide us to our new neighborhood in Palos Verdes Estates. We looked at over twenty homes on the market before finding a fixer with a gorgeous panoramic view of the ocean and walkability to Lunada Bay. Despite being listed by a discount broker who offered a mere fraction of the normal buyer’s brokerage compensation, John understood our love of the home’s location and layout and negotiated tirelessly on our behalf to secure a winning offer. Under unusual circumstances, John took considerable extra effort to guide us through our options in buying our new family home. He secured the finest inspections on the property in a timely manner. Because the property needs work, John arranged for numerous specialty inspections in addition to the standard ones on the buyer’s side. All his selections were based on his vast experience as a five star broker with incredible networking in the real estate community in the South Bay. John was continually available to us during the stressful and complicated contract process. We always felt that he was in our corner and guided us without pressure while representing us well. We regard him as one of our first true friends in the South Bay Area, and we know we can count on him for valuable trade references as we improve our dream home for our family." - Bill & Laura - Palos Verdes Estates

"We had the pleasure of working with John Bathurst in both buying and selling our Redondo Beach house and had an amazing experience. John truly cared about meeting every one of our needs. Due to his unique blend of creativity and quantitative intelligence, he helped us to actually enjoy the experience of both shopping for and selling our house. He also has a very patient and gentle approach to business, yet is aggressive in the most positive way when he needs to be." - John & Linda - Redondo Beach

"John is incredible. He is exactly the person you want on your side when buying and selling a home. John is super knowledgable about the market and neighborhoods we were interested in, an excellent communicator, honest, hard-working, quick, and focused. I was super impressed with him the first day he showed us a property. After listening to our interests he told us about another home that fit perfectly with what we wanted. He then rearranged his entire afternoon to fit us in to see the house that very day, working around our schedule. We were so lucky, too, because the home sold in just two days- to us! He is an incredible advocate who will do whatever it takes to make his clients happy and really "go to bat" for you. We are so pleased with our experience and will surely use him again and recommend him to anyone looking for an agent!." - Bucky & Jen

"I have known John for a number of years on a casual basis through our boys sports. I ran into him in November at an open house at a time that we were selling our house and I was interested to purchase a new home. John immediately showed properties to me I made an offer within two weeks after first communicating with John. What impressed me the most about John was 100% dedication to customer service. He immediately replied to my calls and texts, and provide great insight for short-term and long-term financing options. He has been a great friend through the entire process, and listened to many of my challenges during my divorce process. He is very real estate savvy. I strongly recommend to work with other clients." - Tim

"As a 1st time home buyer in an expensive area, it's tough not to just pick the right house but the right broker. The SouthBay has dozens of them but I found the best one by far (referred by a happy client)....John Bathurst is a 5 star top notch broker from soup to nuts. John is not just a broker, but a local educator/mentor/expert who advises you through the entire process.....location, what you get for the money (short time and long term), tours, recommending the right vendor partners (movers, loan agents, banks, etc), how to pick the perfect place to fit your needs, how to get the highest/lowest price, how to close the deal, etc. He holds your hand through the entire process from start to finish, so nothing gets dropped. Personality traits - likeable, thorough, responsible, detail oriented, patient, honest, integrity, doesnt feather/fold, and when the time is right will be lighting focus and persistent to close a deal. Dont just hire your friend or who you know, hire a reputable business person who has all the above personality/work qualities which will make the process easier/better and make it happen. I HIGHLY recommend John Bathurst to be your next broker. I would not be in my new house without him (previous brokers just wanted the deal and walk away). LOVE my new house!" - Jason

"I recently worked with John on an opinion of value for my current residence and purchasing another income property. Have known John for over 20 years and he has always been professional, timely, well versed in market conditions and trends, and always put his client's needs first. I would recommend him to anyone from first time buyers to seasoned real estate investors." - Steven

★★★★★
"We spoke to John on a couple of occasions to learn more about the Manhattan Beach market. He was very knowledgeable and most importantly, a good listener. We did not end up purchasing with John, but under different circumstances we would have been excited to move ahead with John for our home shopping needs in Manhattan Beach. John is professional and has a just the right balance of proactivity and follow up." - Kent

"I couldn't say enough nice things about John. He has handled 4 transactions for me in the last 6 months and each time he presented himself as the consummate professional that is eager to go above and beyond to make sure all parties to the transactions were constantly updated and expectations are being and were met. He has incredible people skills and a very high level of corporate experience and acumen that allow him to navigate even the most complex Real Estate transactions with grace and humility. I highly recommend John for your next Real Estate transaction." - Christian

★★★★★
"John is a true professional and an expert in Manhattan Beach Real Estate. In a very competitive market, John was able to secure the home I had to have. There were several people competing for the same property and I wasn't sure I would win out. John was able to use his influence, expertise and professionalism to not only get my offer excepted but also helped with all the details until move in date. I would recommend John for any Real Estate needs." - Debbie

"John and I have been friends for over 10 years and truly believe he is a prominent figure in the Manhattan Beach area. He is very familiar with all sections of Manhattan Beach and an excellent communicator . I know from his past experiences, it helps him negotiate a fair and solid deal for both sides. He is a responsible parent who takes great pride in his children and often helps with their sports, school functions , whenever needed he will be there." - T Kelly

★★★★★
"I have known John personally for over 10 years and have found him to be an honest and hard working individual. He is involved with the community of Manhattan Beach and intimately aware of the real estate market. His former executive level positions with major apparel companies gives him excellent strengths in how to get things done in a vastly unprofessional and unresponsive industry. The next time I purchase a home I will use John." - Hugh

"John comes to the real estate industry with years of proven business experience. With so many real estate people in the South Bay completely lacking in business acumen, John is a breath of fresh air.

He has all the skills needed to assist his clients through the most technical of real estate transactions." - J Ward
