From My Satisfied Clients

We have relied on John since 2003“ to handle all our residential real estate needs, which includes 11 deals buying and selling our residences and investment prop- erties. John is truly the best in the South Bay. When we have referred him to friends, the feed- back is 100% positive. He gained our trust back in 2003 helping us out of a difficult situation that did not earn him any commis- sion. Since then, he has proven time and again that he’s a rarity among brokers...personable, hon - est, well-connected and intelligent, and genuinely a wonderful person to work with who knows when to be aggressive to get the deal done right for his client. -Andrew & Melissa JOHN SKULICK 310.350.4240 [email protected]
