Testimonials

John is easily one of the best people to work with. He genuinely cares about his clients; he will never let you settle for what you do not deserve and wants you to be happy. If you are a first-time home buyer, like me, you need his guidance and expertise with this process. I know that I can reach out to John with anything I need and that he would be there to help. I am so grateful to have had such a great home buying experience.

We looked extensively before choosing John to be our real estate agent. His strengths are that he will give you his honest opinion, even if you dont take his advice. He will check into everything to identify any potential flaw in your home. This carefulness helped identify a problem during closing that we could resolve before signing. He is a good negotiator, who gave solid advice on the value of a property. This saved us on overpaying for something as a first time home buyer. I personally wanted someone with extensive knowledge of Canton / Fells Point (our target market), and his team are based there. Recommend using John to help you find your next home.

John is a fantastic realtor. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about the local market and different types of properties, he genuinely cares about his clients and always provides his unbiased opinions. I was originally thinking about buying condos but gradually gravitated toward single family townhomes. John was there with me throughout this long decision-making process and was willing to show me many different properties. He never rushed me into making any decisions, but he will let me know all of the pros and cons so that I can make informed choices. The COVID pandemic initially made me worry about going for house tours, but John was always taking extra precautions to make sure every surface was wiped clean, which makes me feel much safer touring properties with him. His patience and professionalism are extremely helpful for first-time home buyers like me. One of the early houses which we put an offer in had several problems with the roof and mold, and the seller's agent was not very on top of these issues. John and I had very long discussions and finally we decided to withdraw our offer because of these risks, and I very much appreciate his expert opinions and his patience in guiding me through this frustrating experience. Finally, we found a perfect home, and it was John's personal connection with the seller which secured us a deal. I am extremely happy with my purchase and highly recommend John to anyone who is interested in buying properties in Baltimore without any reservations.

John was the best part of our home search. We were first time homebuyers in a relatively new city and John walked us through the entire process with complete transparency and honesty. His knowledge of the different areas - heck different blocks, was amazing! He really took the time with us and helped us feel comfortable each step of the way. He has ties throughout the real estate community and knew our lender which made the communication between everyone so simple! Highly recommend him. You’ll get honesty and genuine helpful guidance.

Worked with John Maranto to buy our first house. It was an excellent experience and I doubt there is anyone better than him. He is very knowledgeable, well connected, and has been selling homes in the Baltimore area for decades. He is unpretentious, straightforward, and smooth to work with. He makes sure you understand every aspect of the process. He is comfortable with himself and his abilities and will only reduce your anxiety rather than add to it. He never made any mistakes, even small ones, throughout our home buying process. He is an efficient and direct communicator and tells you the truth, there's no need to read between the lines. He seems extremely genuine and "goes the extra mile" in terms of assistance and availability for anything related to homes, even after the purchase. He isn't "going the extra mile" to try to get a good review from you or validation or something, it seems to just be his personality. We'd go with him again no question.
