John is a great realtor and videographer. He is an expert at relocating people from out of state. Only wish I was buying more houses, so I could get his expertise more often!

Looking to buy or sell? John Hitch is your guy. It's rare to work with a professional who puts as much energy and care into every piece of their work as John does.
Out-of-state buyer? Working with him is a no-brainer! As someone who toured 17 homes before taking the plunge, I can only imagine the added stress that would have come if I tried to do it all in a "quick weekend visit". With John's in-depth custom video tours, you feel like you're walking through the property, and can revisit it over and over (no single FaceTime calls with him!)
And if all of this has yet to convince you, reach out for a consultation conversation. He is sure to win you over with his wealth of knowledge in real estate, his sense of humor during stressful seasons, and his heart of gold.

- Talk through school zones, community amenities, and the overall feel of different neighborhoods
- Walk through my video tour process so you can view homes and communities remotely before traveling
