John was great to work with. I was moving from out of state and my time with him was limited. He really paid close attention to what I was looking for. We worked together online reviewing listings while I was out of town. John was very well prepared and prompt when I traveled to Paso to look at properties.

I ultimately purchased my favorite of all the listings I reviewed. I highly recommend John.
