John was by far one of the best agents we have come across in our business. We are Real Estate investors and been in the business over 40 years. We have worked with many agents, but we can't say enough about the excellent customer service John has provided us. He was very instrumental in negotiating our purchase price and closed the deal quickly with no hassles. John also made sure all the needed repairs were done completely. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to invest in Carmel, Monterey, or Pacific Grove. Look him up in Carmel.
John was recommended to us by our San Jose REALTOR® for his market knowledge, client service skills, and easy-going personality. When we first met, we instantly felt a connection. John had solicited information regarding our interests and had a few properties to look at. We appreciated his emphasis on listening and discerning the qualities of our preferred home. Within a week, he opened our eyes to a home in Pebble Beach that we would otherwise never have thought possible. It was perfect for us! John did several quality market analyses for properties we were looking at; ultimately supporting our successful offer on the house in Pebble. He is very responsive, managed every detail, kept us closely informed and made the entire experience enjoyable; fun, in fact. I have already recommended John to another client and I recommend him without reservation.
I am pleased to recommend John Romley as a real estate agent. John was very persistent regarding our offer and worked with the seller's agent to structure a deal that was favorable to us, but still satisfied the seller's requirements. We purchased a home that was perfect for our needs. You will find John to be hard working, patient, responsive, and a friendly knowledgeable agent.
As a mortgage banker, I get to work with many real estate agents. One thing is clear about John, his commitment to his customers. We completed a great transaction together where all parties were happy. I have no problem referring any of my borrowers that are looking in the great Monterey Peninsula area.
John is a consummate professional. Throughout our sometimes onerous real estate transaction, John was patient and calm. He unruffled feathers, dealt with all parties respectfully, and provided us with white-glove service from the first meeting trough the seller's rent-back. It was a relief to know that if I couldn't be present for an inspection, John would stead in for me and ask all the questions I had and more.
John Romley is a pleasure to work with. He is timely and a very good communicator. I would recommend him to family, friends, and anyone needing a REALTOR® of excellence. We are very happy. Thanks, John.
John is a superstar REALTOR®: Patient. Calm. Big-picture. Detail-oriented. Price-savvy. Property-knowledgeable. Everything a typical buyer =is not= during the sometimes-harrowing process of purchasing a house. John will not only be our exclusive REALTOR® if we're to buy in the future—he's also become a kind and loyal friend, and we think him as one of the family. Where do I stop singing John Romley's praises? I guess right here.
This has been the best buying experience we have had and there have been many. John was wonderfully patient with us while viewing homes. Moving in from out of town we thought it would be difficult finding the right home in the right area. John's knowledge helped us tremendously in finding the right house in the right area for the right price. He was spot on in advising us during negotiations. His recommendations for financing and title made the process seamless. I highly recommend using John for all your real estate needs.
We highly recommend John Romley as your real estate agent for the Central California Coast. John was 'on the ground, running' the day we met him looking for our retirement home. We were impressed at how well John listened and was able to find us our charming Carmel cottage. John was creative in finding our home, by sending letters to potential sellers—which led to our offer being accepted before the home was officially listed. We believe this saved us time and money by avoiding getting into a bid war. John is very skillful in negotiating for his clients. We highly recommend this hardworking, business-savvy real estate professional.
Our agent John Romley has been delightful to list and sell our house. He is very knowledgeable, professional, polite, courteous, and responsive. He made our sale very easy and comfortable. Great agent. He goes the extra mile for you and gets the job done well. Thanks, John.
John is honest, trustworthy, and so easy to work with. He was extremely knowledgeable of the area as well as construction. John was available day and night for all of our questions, no matter how insignificant. I highly recommend John as an agent.
We first contacted John following a recommendation from an aquaintance, he took us around to see several properties in one day. Once we found one we wanted, he made the buying process very smooth. He was also a great help after the sale by putting us in touch with local resources. I highly recommend John!
We were first-time home buyers and were so appreciative of John's ability to walk us through the process from start to finish. He had infinite patience with our questions and readily answered emails and texts. His availability, knowledge of the local market, and obvious commitment to finding our family a good house were really impressive. John went above and beyond in his REALTOR® role. We are so grateful for his service and grateful to now be living in a home that met our needs and budget. We will absolutely recommend John to friends looking to buy in the area.
I have bought and sold 7 homes in 3 different states. Working with John was, without a doubt, the most pleasant and easiest transaction I've experienced. His attention to detail and concern for his client was above and beyond my highest expectations. He made buying a home a pleasure. Professional. Personal. Thorough. Absolute perfection.
John was, hands down, the best agent we have ever had in our buying/renting experience! He would always go above and beyond our needs. He is very personable, prompt, informative, easily accessible, professional, communicatively strong and fun! He truly loves his job and cares about you and your needs! We started off wanting to buy, but due to inventory, we had to rent. John DID NOT hesitate at changing gears and had contacts that we did not know about to help us with this situation. I would highly recommend John Romley! When we are ready to buy, we will MOST DEFINITELY be looking up John, without hesitation and I think you should too!
John's patience and great follow-up helped build a very positive relationship right from the first open house we attended. John helped us get to know the market over several months, and kept in touch regularly throughout the year as we narrowed our focus. When the right opportunity arose, John was very quick to help us get organized and move forward successfully. From initial discussion, to closing John helped navigate through the transaction with ease and even provided needed references for local trades and utilities. We will certainly rely on John again when the need arises.
I listed my Monterey home for sale with John and received highly professional, responsive real estate services. John was very flexible throughout the process, and ensured that my needs and interests were well represented in all aspects of the transaction. John's energy, work ethic, resourcefulness, and focus on details were key to the successful sale of my home. I would highly recommend John to anyone buying or selling a home on the Monterey Peninsula.
John helped us purchase a wonderful home in Carmel. John is professional in every respect. He responds quickly to phone calls, emails, and text messages. He is honest and kind. He listens. He follows thru. When appropriate, he can be an assertive negotiator. I recommend John without reservation.
No one need ask if John Romley loves his job...it's obvious that he does. From the very outset, John guided us around the many varied opportunities the Monterey Peninsula and Carmel have to offer. Viewing seven properties in a day, John gave us the benefit of his detailed knowledge of the area. Once we found the home we wanted, John negotiated with the sellers' agent to make it happen. We had a particularly tricky timeline of contingencies and gating items to complete the sale of our home in Silicon Valley to make the move. John navigated the difficult course all the while keeping us reassured and apprised of the progress. With his guidance, everything went according to plan. Post sale, John has continued to be an enthusiastic resource, going above and beyond to help us find the local suppliers needed to complete our transition and to make us comfortable in our new home. All real estate agents sell houses, John Romley sells homes. He is now like part of our family.
John is the man. We were looking for a pretty specific type of property and John was key in not only finding it but also taking care of the details to make the deal happen. I cannot recommend him enough.
John is the ultimate expert in real estate in Monterey Bay Area. We were continually impressed with his ability to listen to our needs, meet our demands and know the smallest details about real estate in the area. John's dedication to his clients is out of this world. There is nothing he wouldn't or couldn't do for us that we wanted and needed. We were blown away and didn't expect his level of service. We always felt like a VIP with John and when our transaction was over we missed him! If you are looking for an agent to buy or sell, you'd be lucky to work with John. He's truly the best.
Not only did John earn five stars in all aspects of our business dealings, but I would've given him 10 if possible. John went well over and above any job description as a REALTOR®. His knowledge of the market and area is extensive and his counsel in our selection of properties, as well as his research in both negotiations and issues affecting the properties, was monumental in our successful purchase of our dream home. John never pressured and was thorough in understanding our wants and needs. As we did not live in the area prior to our home purchase, John was there to meet all the inspectors, oversee the coordination of our closing and moving in, and, even after the sale, he continued to follow up to make sure there were no lingering issues. I strongly recommend John to anyone looking for a REALTOR® with expertise who will advocate for his clients and take the worry and frustration out of what can be a daunting process.
We couldn't have found a better real estate agent than John Romley. His knowledge and expertise in all aspects of the transaction were very impressive. As first time home buyers, we didn't have a clue as to how in depth the home buying process was. He was extremely patient and informative throughout the whole process. He was always available to take our phone calls and would call us on a regular basis to check in and let us know where we stood. We were very anxious to close quickly, and John (and the team he put together for us) was able to close what was originally a 40 day escrow in 27 days. He had all the inspections, appraisal, and odds and ends done in a timely manner. His attention to detail is perfect, and his demeanor was very calming for a couple of new home buyers. It's tough to believe John hasn't been in the business for 30 years. His knowledge certainly gives that impression. John will be our real estate agent for life.
John went above and beyond on multiple occasions. He was always incredibly responsive, seemingly available at a moment's notice, while at the same time always letting us go at our own pace. As first-time home buyers, we found his insight and clear communication invaluable. And, when the time came to negotiate a purchase, it was reassuring to have him looking out for our interests. Endorsed without hesitation.
