Meet John

Realtor

Hello, I’m John

I am so happy to be working with “The Local Element” brokerage.  The opportunity to get closer to my community by facilitating real estate transactions is truly what drew me to this career. I have worked all throughout West Michigan and am grateful to call Grand Rapids my home, and this wonderful region my workplace. I was born in Michigan and there are many things that keep me here. We are blessed with diversity in many forms— ethnic, economic, religious, cultural, intellectual— that keeps our community strong with a variety of perspectives. I love the architecture of Grand Rapids and the way our neighborhoods are structured. I am a graduate of Michigan State University and am proud to have attended.

It has been an honor working with people from all walks of life in their journey to do anything from buying their first home, navigating large renovations, investing in income-generating properties, or selling family estate properties. I have enjoyed a variety of opportunities to support people in their real estate pursuits— from walking investors through multi-million dollar acquisitions to helping a new homebuyer apply for down payment assistance to buy their first home.

I look forward to connecting with more of the wonderful people looking to call West Michigan their home! I speak English and Spanish and have an excellent network of translators for Swahili, Kinyarwanda, and French.

When I’m not working, you can find me in some of our favorite parks in the area, eating in any one of our amazing restaurants, or finding a way to volunteer with efforts to support youth in the community. My wife, Anisa, and my daughter, Niara, are the biggest joys of my life. Please reach out at (734) 417-4550 if I can help you in any way!
