John first realised he was interested in being a real estate agent at the age of 9. His mum was selling the family home at this time and he paid particular attention to the agent and the way he went about his business. He remembers how grateful he was to that agent when he achieved the sale, enabling them to move into their new house which had a swimming pool and a big tree to climb in the front yard! After a brief stint in teaching, John realised that real estate was where his true passion lay. John's dream of becoming a real estate agent began in late 1999 and he has thrived ever since. His first full year in 2000 saw John be nominated for Rookie of the Year, and in 2001 he won the Best Market Share Award. In 2002 John was awarded the No. 1 Salesperson SA award for Jan-June, won the Best Market Share Award again, and was ranked in the top 2% of salespeople within the national franchise group he was then working for. Also during 2002, John took on further study to attain his full real estate licence. In 2005 John joined an renowned real estate group and again rose to the very top level. He won many No. 1 Salesperson awards for various months and quarters, attained National Top 10 status out of approximately 1000 agents in Australia, and achieved the level of Platinum Club for excellence in sales, and also achieved Hall of Fame status. It was also during his 7 years here that John learnt, developed, and mastered his creative marketing and management skills. In 2007 John undertook and successfully completed the 'Conduct Property Sale by Auction' and also 'Real Estate Auction School', a Nationally Accredited Course in association with the HIA conducted at the Society of Auctioneers and Appraisers (SA). Since that time John has conducted many successful auctions both for his own clients and also other real estate agents. Then in 2013, John continued his real estate vision with the opening of his very own agency before aligning with Raine&Horne in 2019, combining a focus on insightful partnerships, the ability for dynamic, high impact, very effective and creative marketing, and an unparalleled passion and enthusiasm for property and people. John is a member of both the Real Institute of SA (MREI) and also the Society of Auctioneers and Appraisers (SA) Incorporated (MSAA). He also has his Certificate in Residential Property Management.
