Even before I got in the business I was involved in a transaction with another Edina Agent that needed some help from John. Needless to say he handled it professionally and with dignity, and I knew at that time that this was the guy I wanted to work and start my real estate career with. John's success with the agents in his office is three-fold: One, his personal attention when asked for is always there, even if he sometimes doesn't have all the answers he gets you to someone who can help. Two, his "Hands off" commitment to dealing with agents that have left corporate micromanagement to become truly independent sales agents is held up in his office. Three, his commitment to education and inspiration as ways of building a successful career also spill into making a successful life...and that's the beauty of being in this business!!!! - Mark Kouatli |
I have known John for 13 years but only have I really got to know him the last year and a half since changing brokers. John is a giving, honest and dedicated Manager whom is a fabulous motivator and communicator. He is trusted and respected in the Real-Estate industry. His management style gives a true meaning to the Manager by your side.
Sincerely,
