Consulted me on buying or selling a home

“John Watkins is an excellent realtor in the Leland, MI area. As out of towners, John's local expertise, market knowledge and deep area relationships (realtors, banks/lenders, title agencies, lawyers, township personnel and associations) were invaluable to us as we explored vacation properties in the area. John was always professional and put our interests first. We highly recommend John and would gladly serve as a reference to potential clients.”

Consulted me on buying or selling a home

“John is the best realtor we’ve worked with in all our years buying and selling. He’s very knowledgeable about the Leelanau peninsula and was incredibly responsive through the whole process. The house we worked on together didn’t work out but having worked with John twice now, I’m confident he’ll help us find the right home in the right spot for a fair price.”

Listed and sold a home

“John is an exceptional agent. He guided my wife and I through the entire purchasing and sales process. Our situation wasn’t unique, we made an offer on a home and it was contingent on the sale of our current home. After our offer to purchase was accepted, John was prompt at getting our home listed. Within five days we had an offer that we ultimately accepted. From there we had a few bumps in the road, but John was there to answer any and all questions.”

Helped me buy home

“My husband and I have worked with many realtors over the years and John is by far the best! He is incredibly organized and made every step of the process smooth. Our scenario was not straight forward and lots of details had to be worked out and even in a complicated situation, John still made the transaction easy. We would recommend John to any and everyone who wants to work with someone who is honest, prompt, organized, personable, professional and simply a great person.”

Helped me buy home

“I found John to be honest, extremely knowledgeable, and genuinely interested in my needs during a complicated and time consuming transaction. John was the listing agent and I was the buyer, but I at no time felt that he wasn't acting in my best interest. Also, after the transaction closed, John went out of his way to be helpful. My purchase was a seasonal property that needed extensive repair and remodeling, and we do not live in the area. John connected us with a reliable builder that he knew, and the project is scheduled this Spring. We also put in a new drive-way soon after the closing. John was kind enough to take many pictures during this process so that we could monitor the project from start to finish from our home 650 miles away. He was even thoughtful enough to send some beautiful sunsets over lake Michigan from our deck which we are looking forward to enjoying in the near future. I would unconditionally recommend John Watkins for your real estate needs.”
