"After looking for a new home in several cities across the Western US, we knew how
important it was to find a realtor with local knowledge and a proven track record of real estate success in their home market. After meeting John Canova, my wife and I knew we found an agent we could trust, and who could help guide us in our search for our first home in Boulder. John listened to our preferences and needs and worked very hard to find properties that fit our tastes and budget. We could not be happier with the
property we chose. John was a pleasure to work with, and the overall ease of the transaction was a relief. We look forward to working with John and Compass again in the future for our next purchase."

"We worked with John as a buy-side representative and he was fantastic. Trustworthy, kind, fun to work with and it always felt like he truly had our best interests at heart. Couldn't recommend him more sincerely." - Daniel Epstein
"It is rare to see or write a buyer's review for the seller's realtor but when it comes to John, this may become more commonplace. As experienced property owner/sellers, my husband and I waded into the Boulder housing market and decided to buy a place - quickly. While some realtors resent unrepresented buyers, John didn't bat an eye. Some realtors took more than a week to return my inquiry tour request calls/emails. He swiftly and professionally met us and did everything needed to secure a "quick" i.e. 2 week close including arranging for an out of town Title company signing while we were travelling. The seller was well represented and we were impressed. If and when I sell, John would be my first choice in Boulder."

"John was very helpful in streamlining the whole selling process for us. We worked with him remotely to sell our condo in Colorado, and he went above and beyond multiple times to meet people and services at our condo when we could not. He was very communicative the entire way through and was prompt with answering all of our questions! He is very knowledgeable with the Boulder, CO area and went so far as to coordinate open houses during the farmer's market across the street (so smart)! I would recommend John Canova with no hesitation."
