Growing up in Hartford CT, my first career was repairing and renovating Victorian homes. After 15 years of swinging a hammer on the East and West coasts, I moved to Mendocino County, where I started a landscaping company. For 12 years, I enjoyed working with my hands and being outside in the mountains. Since moving to San Francisco, I've been lucky enough to align with Compass, and I'm thrilled to be working in real estate here in this beautiful city. I've spent months on end hiking on the Appalachian Trail, The Long Trail, the Colorado Trail, and the Pacific Crest Trail. A number of years ago, I fell in love with snow sports, and I go skiing as much as possible. When not helping clients with their real estate needs, I enjoy exploring the city with my girlfriend and our dogs, serving on the board of the Hayes Valley Neighborhood Association, volunteering in the neighborhood, and making the most of my precious time here.
John helped me navigate buying a TIC property in the Outer Richmond. He is attentive to every detail and provides solid advice. It was a pleasure to work with him and I highly recommend him as a SF real estate agent.

John was a terrific partner in our real estate journey. Buying in San Francisco is, of course, challenging and he thoughtfully and strategically helped us navigate finding the ideal home for us. He knows the market, neighborhoods and communities well and was incredibly thorough in evaluating properties. We found a great home in a wonderful location and closed quickly and smoothly!

The time I've spent with John has left me with a lasting impression of his capabilities and character. He has invariably brought his creativity and candor to our meetings, diplomatically engaging with all participants in a clear and direct fashion. His enthusiasm is supported by a genuine commitment to the project at hand. I unreservedly recommend John Farkas for his knowledge, ability, and honesty-- a combination rarely encountered.

John is an absolute legend. He helped us purchase our home in SF and did all the little things (clear and quick communication, keeping the purchase process moving forward, dotting i’s and crossing t’s). Went above and beyond again and again. You are in great hands with John Farkas!
