For nearly two decades I have been working to master the tools for the rapidly exploding field of communications technology, including the Internet -- and I am ready to put these skills to work for you. Rather than view technology as a threat, I embrace it as a means for upgrading the marketing of your home. But it is important to keep the technology under control. In my view, the most effective approach to technology is to couple it with a high degree of personal marketing. I call it -- high tech, high touch!

At the end of the day, the most valuable asset any realtor has to offer is credibility. I have invested a lifetime earning the trust and respect of my colleagues, friends, and family. I am now asking you to give me a chance to earn your trust and respect as well.

If you grant me the privilege of helping you sell your present home, my Top Priority from Day One will be

to sell your home in the shortest time,
for as much money and on the most favorable terms,
and do it with as little stress and inconvenience to you as possible.

One thing we know for sure, the only way anyone is going to buy your home is if they know it is for sale. I pledge to aggressively market your home to the largest possible number of prospective buyers.

If you allow me the opportunity to help you find the perfect home for you, I will search through thousands of MLS listings to select those that fit the conditions you set -- but I won't stop there!

My Pledge to you --

I will never waste your time showing you properties that I have not previewed.

I will screen out those properties that may sound good on paper but simply don't fit your requirements.

I NEVER want to hear a prospective home buyer say, "Why would you think I would be interested in this home?

Whether we are marketing your present home or searching for your future home -- the first thing I always do is LISTEN! I will ask lots of questions to help me define as precisely as possible your wants and needs.

Armed with a clear profile of your objectives, I will be ready to go to work providing you with the finest professional real estate service available anywhere.

If by chance this is your first venture into home ownership, let me help you make it a positive and rewarding experience. Nothing is more gratifying to me than to see a family settled into a home that fits their needs AND their budget.

John E. Cleek, Ph.D., Realtor®
Crown Realty

Because of my broad background of experience, I am able to work effectively with clients whose backgrounds and interests are diverse. I am equally comfortable working with the first time home buyer who needs special financing and with the upscale home buyer who will pay cash for a million dollar home. When I represent a seller, I make sure that their home is presented in its most favorable light and marketed to the target audience most likely to be interested. 

I have given special attention to the challenges that many home owners are facing with mortgages that exceed the market value of their home. I offer free consultation to homeowners facing the loss of their home. My approach is to assist them in exploring all available options to foreclosure, e.g., loan modification, either negotiated with the lender or through utilizing the various federal mortgage relief programs now available. I assist them in determining the course of action that will be best for them in the short run and in the long run. If a short sale is the option that fits their circumstances best, I will guide them through the process including negotiation with their lender on their behalf. 

I will match my people skills with anyone but I use all forms of technology to leverage my time and hands on skills. I consider myself a high-tech, high-touch realtor.

Finally, I enjoy assisting buyers and sellers who are interested in undeveloped land whether as an investment or as a site for that special home in the country.

"John was a pleasure to work with and I would give him my highest recommendation. He is an extremely knowledgeable person and he provided great recommendations and assistance in our real estate decision. John stayed in constant communication with us during the whole process of finding a home and it couldn’t have been a smoother experience. I have purchased and sold 4 homes to date and John was the best Realtor I have ever worked with."  Dustin G
