Description

My goal is provide the highest level of service before, during and after the real estate transaction. My reward is the referrals my clients send me after they buy or sell a home.

Professional Background

Realtor, ABR, C-CREC, e-PRO, QSC 

My Real Estate business is very much a part of my personal and professional life.  I really enjoy building my business relationships through my personal activities as a youth coach, active neighborhood association member, charity volunteer or local social events. 

One major thing that sets me apart is my QSC designation.  This designation has been a very important part of my business model. I strongly believe in providing the highest level of service to not only my clients but to other agents, our office support staff, board members and management team. I have incorporated my QSC designation into my marketing presentations, buyer orientation booklets, personal website and mailings campaigns.  I tell all my clients how important their accountability measurement is for strengthening my confidence level. I even work with a loan officer who is a QSC Mortgage Professional and it provides my buyers who use her the assurance they will be given the highest level of service throughout the entire transaction process.  In helping to set the new service standard for the industry I earned the Platinum status by achieving 100% client satisfaction based on my past client service satisfaction evaluations. For more information about my Customer Satisfaction Rating, go to my QSC site rating page - http://www.qualityservice.org/search.aspx?Qid=1010211

My sincere personal service, consitent marketing technques, positive teamwork attitude, goal driven business plan, ability to learn from my mistakes and a customer focused philosophy continues to drive my success.  

Areas of Expertise

I work in several areas of the real estate market.  My specialization is working with first time buyers, For Sale By Owners (FSBO), growing families and all price ranges of existing homes, townhouses, condos and new construction.  I present my sellers with a written marketing plan that consist of a 30-day marketing plan guarentee.  My buyers recieve a written buyers orientation booklet with tips and information sheets to educate them throughtout the entire buying process.

I am very active with our local board and participate on the board of directors, committee leadership, task force and teach several of the technology courses to agents. 

I have earned several designations which provide me with excellent skills for representation, negotiations, marketing strategies, leadership and management skills and overall better knowledge of the real estate industry.

Testimonials

Here are a few of my past clients testimonials: 

"Being in the military and new to the area I relied heavily on John's expertise and was never disappointed.  He is by far the most the professional real estate agent I've dealt with and I will be using him again when it is time to move."
Captain Charles Luke, OD Asst. S2/S3 1st BDE 100th DIV


"I was introduced to John Groft approximately two years ago.  I made a call to ReMax requesting information with assistance to sell my home.  He called me back immediately asking to met and discuss alternative ways to sell my home and meet my financial needs.  John made me feel at ease from the start and provided his cell phone number to call at any time to answer questions or address concerns.  And that I did.  He always sounded happy to hear from me, realizing selling with a realtor was a new and stressful situation for me.  He helped me cut grass, weed eat, and clean up around the place to make it look the best.  He went above and beyond to help me in any way he knew how. HE SOLD MY HOUSE!!!!  He was also very helpful in assisting with the new home I purchased. I value him not only as a realtor but a friend."
Lorraine Shakleford

"I had a sincerely wonderful experience working with John Groft as my realtor.  He was friendly, helpful, professional, responsive, and very accommodating.  I was an out-of-town buyer whose search for a new home began on Thanksgiving weekend.  John generously gave up his holiday weekend to help me find a lot and select a builder for my new home.  The entire building and purchasing process was done long distance, and I could not have accomplished the overwhelming task without his continual assistance.  I feel John was a rare find as a realtor, because he truly placed customer service above commission.  I would recommend John highly to all my family and friends."
Christal Coleman


"We had been looking for a home for over a year when we were put in contact with John. John was always very helpful, never pushy, and worked with us even though we found decision-making difficult! John was always available and willing to show us any home we were interested in. After we finally found our home, John was extremely helpful in preparing our old home for sale. His suggestions and recommendations helped us to get 5 buyers bidding for our home after just one day on the market. I would highly recommend John to anyone searching for an agent who can do the job."
Renee and Charlie Everett


"John was an excellent agent and was able to sell our house in less than two weeks.  His dedication to detail insured that our corporate relocation move went through with no issues.  John kept in touch with us through the entire process and insured that all the required steps were made.  John is very savy with all of the latest tools and was able to list our house in all the "right" locations very quickly. He is honest and reliable and would definitely be our agent if we were lucky enough to return to the Lexington area."
Barry and Susan Ottmann


"John Groft has helped my family with the sale of two homes and the purchase of two homes.  Trust me when I say this is no easy task.  John was always available to a very busy family with extremely demanding schedules.  My daughter calls him Uncle John and we will always value him as a realtor and great friend. I am already a repeat customer for John and even though I say I am never moving again, he will be the one I call if ever the need should arise."
