I always thought that there was no big deal to buying or selling a house. WRONG! I had no idea where I was even supposed to start. I can’t thank him enough for putting up with my countless phone calls and multiple meltdowns!

Through this very stressful time, John’s level of professionalism, patience and sense of humor made this part of our relocation a pleasure.

As far as we are concerned there is no other Realtor.

“This is the second time I have used John for a real estate transaction. He made both transactions very smooth. His knowledge and expertise helped make it a very stress free experience. John avoided a potentially disastrous situation the day of my second closing due to an error on the listing broker’s part. At the walk through, John was informed that there was a previous contract on the home that I was purchasing that had never been released and the previous buyer was threatening a lawsuit! After John instructed the listing broker how to resolve the error, the broker asked John’s advice on how to resolve a problem with another Client. He also worked very hard to get me a substantial credit at closing for a defective furnace on a bank owned as-is property.

John was wonderful; unfortunately the economic downturn caused us to have a longer relationship than normal. From the time we listed the property, to closing, 688 days elapsed. Thank God John is as good as he is! His ability to hang in there in spite of the many challenges we ran into is a credit to Coldwell Banker.

John Proto went out of his way to sell my house. He is friendly but business like with a smile. He did a lot of the things my lawyer should have done! I know without him the house would not have sold so quickly. He keeps in touch with the other agent, always got back to me the same day I called him for anything, bug or small. Also got answers for me on anything I asked him. It was a pleasure working with him; he is a joy to work with. He is a keeper!!

“I have used John as my realtor to both buy and then sell a home. When I bought the home, John worked with me extensively to find a home that fit my needs within my price range, which was no easy task. He was personable, caring, and punctual. I moved in with $30,000 in equity. When I sold, he advised me about what I had to do to sell fast and he helped me do it by not only listing and showing my home, but scheduling contractors for needed repairs. I got a sale fast in a slow market for an excellent price. I have used several realtors to buy and sell homes over the years and I rate the experience I had with John as the best by far.”
