    After pursuing his desire to sell real estate and completing the required education, John traded in his badge for a real estate license. He took employment with the Elder Agency in Marquette as a real estate salesperson in May 2007. He went on to obtain his Insurance License in February 2008 which allowed him to provide commercial and residential insurance services to his clients, in conjunction with provided real estate services.

In 2011 John advanced his career and knowledge by completing additional education to obtain his Michigan Associate Brokers License. This advancement has allowed John to expand his services into property management.

    John later branched out from the Elder Agency in 2014, and founded PROEX Realty, where he focuses on building a sustainable real estate brand, managing & developing a streamlined property management company, and leading a technology driven real estate team.

    “When I am not pursuing real estate ventures, I spend as much time enjoying the great outdoors as possible. I spend a lot of time with my family on our boat exploring Lake Superior on the beautiful shores of the UP. I am also a private pilot and have a passion for aviation which allows me to have better access to my referral network, clients and properties. I am an avid hunter of just about anything and fisher of anything in open water to frozen water.”

    “In business and as a Realtor, I like to ride on the tip of the technology wave, constantly researching and utilizing new technologies to provide the best experience for My clients. I pride myself on serving those clients in ways that best meet their needs, never pressuring them, but always offering sound, straight forward advice that helps them the most in any situation.”
