John-Ross has always believed that real estate is about more than buying and selling houses. It is about contributing to the community he calls home. He is a current board member and Past President of the Quinte Home Builders Association and has served on the board of Habitat for Humanity Prince Edward Hastings since 2022.

In 2016, his #icanrebuild campaign raised more than $30,000 for the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation by camping on a rooftop in downtown Belleville to support local women’s shelters. Each year, he hosts Kids Got Talent, the largest fundraiser for the Children’s Safety Village, which brings people together to support child safety programs. He has also been a long-time supporter of the Enrichment Centre for Mental Health, continuing his family’s tradition of backing organizations that strengthen lives in the Quinte region.

For John-Ross, community involvement and real estate share the same foundation: people first.

Away from real estate, John-Ross enjoys working on renovation projects, exploring great food and wine, Travel, and spending time with his family. His passion for theatre has led him to volunteer and perform in producitons with the Belleville Theatre Guild and MC numerous events locally.

First real job was in a real estate office in Toronto, and then I spent many years in management and customer service. My mom was in real estate and it seemed like a natural fit.

Look at pretty houses all day.

I am a matchmaker. There is nothing that matters more to me than making the perfect match.

Cut through the bull. Helping people truly discover what they need. Long before they have figured it out.

My clients value my experience, knowledge, and honesty. Sometimes I’m even a bit too honest, but that is what matters most.

I’m proud my clients feel their goals have exceeded their expectations.

I would like them to share our journey and let them know that I am here for them 100%.

Family and friends are number one. Volunteering in the community is a part of who I am.

So few are able to work with people they enjoy, let alone fortunate enough to work with their family.

Just Do it!

Sweet, kind, caring, great listener.

Real estate felt like a natural fit for me when looking for a career change.

After 40+ years it seems the only thing people think I do is sell real estate.

I dive in 150% whenever I work with a client. My clients become my family.

I’m most proud of my clients celebrating the experience of buying and selling with me. It makes my career choice worthwhile.

Appreciative. It never ceases to amaze me how thankful people are for the work that I do for them.

I don’t know what they say, but I’m so happy they trust me.

The changes and new challenges that come with that first phone call from a new client.

I’m an advocate for this community. Using my connecting skills to help raise money and awareness for local charities.

My passion for community is the foundation of my life.

“All you need is love!”

Crazy, fun, exciting, and adventurous.
