When you talk with John, you immediately see his warm, genuine nature and the joy he takes in helping to open new doors for people.

“I’m very thankful for my 24-year career in TV and for the work I get to do each day in real estate,” he emphasizes. “I am truly fortunate.”

Clearly, those who get a chance to know and work with John Bolaris are better off because of the true big-picture impact he creates for those around him.

I love real estate, and I am very proud of the team we have. I am blessed with the group we have. To get to this point, you need to be surrounded by people who are smarter than you.
