“The experience gained from handling a vast amount of real estate transactions over the years has given me the knowledge and negotiating expertise at an extremely high level.  My clients benefit from this expertise throughout the transaction.  My ability to understand all facets of the process – market data, negotiating the deal, contacts, mortgage process, home inspection, title work – leave my clients feeling extremely satisfied on the day of closing”  – John O’Laughlin

“When I started in the world of Real Estate in 2010  a lot of other agents were getting out of the business when the housing bubble burst.  This allowed me to cut my teeth in Real Estate in a manner slightly different than most other agents – I have learned to be precise and available.  That combined with a focus on numbers and trends has allowed me to navigate the continually evolving market landscape. I also flip houses and this knowledge adds an extra element of expertise that my clients find quite useful.

My goal in real estate is to provide the assistance needed for the buyer and seller to come together. I understand what is important to my clients. Buying or selling a home is a major decision; I want my clients to be satisfied with their purchase during and after the sale. If you are looking to buy or sell a home in the greater Geneva Lake area, my attention to detail is 2nd to none.

My personality allows me to easily connect with clients and to make the buying/selling process as stress-free as possible. My ability to understand people’s needs, listen to their concerns, and commitment to excellence in customer satisfaction allows me to achieve the goals of all clients. Whether you are a first-time buyer, a seasoned investor, or selling your property, I have the resources, equipment, knowledge, and experience to assist you with all your real estate needs. Even after you have settled into your new home, I will continue to lend my knowledge, skills, and services.” – John O’Laughlin
