A Washington native, John grew up around his family’s commercial real estate investments, gaining exposure to property management as a young teenager in downtown Seattle.  Prior to entering the commercial real estate industry, John spent eleven years as a business and project manager supporting a family office in the Middle East with their affairs in the US, as well as project management of large yacht construction projects in Chinese and Taiwan shipyards.  He later worked at a regional real estate firm managing office, retail, industrial, marinas, and multifamily properties for a variety of clients, some with single assets and others with large portfolios.  His expertise includes construction management, contract negotiations, budgeting, insurance procurement, leasing, commercial property accounting, client/tenant relations, building maintenance management, and pro-forma development.  John has also provided expert witness services in commercial real estate lawsuits.  John has a BA degree in business management from Washington State University, is the holder of a Washington State Real Estate Managing Broker License and is a graduate of the University of Washington Certificate Program in Commercial Real Estate.

With over twenty years’ experience in commercial real estate, John has both a big picture mentality useful in asset and portfolio management and the attention to detail required to be a successful property manager. He is sought out by clients with real estate portfolios in need of someone that can get properties back on track and pointed in the right direction, as well as individuals looking to invest in commercial real estate.  John states “Attention to detail is critical in a property’s success. As the real estate industry becomes more complex and demands on property managers continue to grow, many owners find having a second set of eyes on their properties is extremely helpful to ensure that the property is performing optimally to maximize its value.”
