John recently helped us close on an extremely competitive home in San Francisco. It was our second time working with John to purchase a home.He is thoughtful, patient, funny, and has a deep knowledge of the San Francisco real estate market regardless of what neighborhood you are looking in.John is our go-to referral for friends looking as working with him will truly give you an edge in your real estate hunt.

by Shane

We recently purchased a home in San Francisco and were incredibly lucky to have been recommended to work with John by a colleague. John was patient with us every step of the way, regardless of our silly questions and general lack of knowledge about how the home buying process works. He was able to deftly navigate the competing home priorities of my wife and I without taking sides, and ultimately helped us secure the one home (out of more than 40 we toured) that both of us could agree on.I can't tell you how much I appreciated his laid-back personality - he never tried to push us into a place we weren't in love with, but also had many suggestions for how we could make a space work for us based on his years of experience and the thousands of homes he has seen during that time.And, yes, his experience is a big plus - he knew just about every listing agent we came across at the various open houses we went to, and it's clear from the warm relationship he had with each of them that he is highly respected in the field. We'll be recommending him and Aethos to anyone else looking to buy a house in SF or on the peninsula.

John helped me and my wife find our perfect house in 2012. He patiently waited through our "should we rent/should we buy" phase, and was there for us every step of the way. We liked him so much, and have such a good experience with him, that we still keep in contact socially 4 years later, and we have referred friends and family to him, all of whom rave about him. He is not only a great human being, but he is very very honest even if it isn't in his best interest - case in point: we walked in to many homes with him where he pointed out all the reasons why we didn't want that home and that we should keep looking (even when we thought we liked the house - but he turned out to be right!). I can't recommend John highly enough. Contact him if you're looking to buy or sell, or even just get an idea of the market. He's "zero pressure". Also, he's well known and respected in the bay area real estate industry, which helps you get "the inside scoop".

by Andrew

We have done 3 transactions with John over the years. Most recently, he helped us sell our home AND subsequently purchase our new place. He was thorough and walked us through every step of the way. It always felt like he was on our side and had our best interests at heart. John looked out for us and made sure the process went as smoothly as possible.

by Dave & Lily

I have worked with John on 3 real estate transactions over the past 13 years, 2 purchases and 1 sale. He has always made the process very easy, stress-free, and enjoyable too. He's a great guy and I would always trust him with my San Francisco real estate needs.

by Nicole

John has made our search and buying process a very pleasant experience. He understands the specifics of the market, is very well connected, super responsive and goal oriented. Great job in finding us a good home!
