From an early age I fell in love with residential architecture. I would drive around with my parents and point out homes that I thought were amazing. Show me a three-dormer cape with an angled garage, or a shingle-style home oozing with character, and I will stop the car.
I was raised in Lynnfield, Massachusetts. I attended Wentworth Institute of Technology and received degrees in Architecture and Construction Management. That training is with me on every walkthrough. I read the bones of a home, not just the finishes. I can tell a buyer what the load-bearing wall means, what a slab-on-grade will cost to update, and which floor plan can actually be opened up without a headache.
For sellers I bring the same eye. What to fix, what to leave, and how to talk about the house so buyers see what makes it special. Not a generic listing description. The specific detail that will make someone tour it.
I work alongside the Lisa Sevajian Group at eXp Realty. Every home you see here, every alert, every saved search comes directly to me. No call center. No lead pool. No middleman.
I trained in Architecture and Construction Management before I ever sold a house. That training is with me on every walkthrough. I read the bones of a home, not just the finishes. When it’s time to sell yours, I’ll tell you which fixes will earn back real money and which ones the buyer will pay for anyway.
For the marketing, I bring the LSG machine. Pre-launch story, professional photography, magazine-caliber copy, and a live audience of qualified buyers ready to walk on day one. I don’t list your home and hope. I list it and market it.
I’ll write the listing description around the specific detail that makes buyers tour your house instead of scrolling past it. Not the generic three-bed, two-bath fact sheet. The reason your home is different, in language that lands.
When we walk a home together, I’m reading the bones. Load-bearing walls, slab-on-grade cost, which floor plan you can actually open up without a headache, and what the ‘charming original details’ will cost to keep or replace. You get the truth about the house before you ever write the offer.
I know these neighborhoods the way a mayor knows his town. The schools, the local businesses, the families that make each pocket feel like home. If you’re new to the area, I’ll help you find the street that fits your life, not just your budget.
When you’re ready to write, we go in with the LSG offer strategy. Pre-offer memo, lender on the call, a written game plan for the counter. Then I walk the inspection with you and translate every item so you know exactly what you’re getting into.
“John is like the mayor of his community. He’s deeply connected to the people, neighborhoods, schools and local businesses. He knows everyone, and everyone knows him. He’s your BFF who just happens to be an awesome Realtor.”
