John Valenziano

John was awarded #1 REALTOR five years in a row (2019-2023) by the South Haven Tribune

"In my 20+ years as a REALTOR, I am most proud of the TRUST I've earned from my clients."  As an Associate Broker, John focuses his services and expertise along the Lake Michigan shoreline - throughout the South Haven, St. Joseph, and Stevensville areas, and points in-between.  A longtime resident of SW Michigan, and originally from Chicago, John provides his clients with straightforward advice, a persistent work ethic, and his keen knowledge of the real estate market.  He enjoys working with his clients, sharing his marketing and negotiating skills, but also utilizes his ability to decipher the various nuances of the real estate market.  This can make a big difference when buying or selling your largest asset.  "I don't think of myself as a salesman.   Instead, I'm my clients trusted advisor or fiduciary - sharing with them, critical information, so they can make wise and informed real estate decisions." 

"With conveniently located offices along the Lake Michigan Shoreline in South Haven, St. Joseph/Stevensvlle, and our newest office in Saugatuck, I love providing real estate advice and assistance to my Buyer and Seller clients in the greater Southwest Michigan area.  It is my passion!  Whether selling your home, or buying a home, I will make you a promise - I pledge my commitment to be your strongest advocate!"

"Since 2001, I’ve been assisting hundreds of satisfied clients purchase and sell real estate.  In 2014, I completed course work and passed the state exam to earn my Michigan Broker’s License.  For more than 2 decades I have earned numerous awards for high sales production.  Those honors are great, however, I continue to be very pleased with the reputation I've developed of serving the needs of my clients with honesty, reliability, and straightforward advice...all while providing unparalleled service.  My goal has always been, and will continue to be, to exceed my client’s expectations on a daily basis.  Don't take my word for it though.  Please check out the comments and reviews below from some of my past clients." 

During John's 2 decades (plus) of real estate experience, he has volunteered and held an elected position for several appointments within the Southwest Michigan Association of Realtors. Included in those positions were the Chairman for the Professional Standards Committee, and former District Board Member of the SW Michigan Association of Realtors.  In addition to achieving his Michigan Broker's License, John currently holds the following real estate designations and qualifications:  

  • CRS -  Certified Residential Specialist
  • GRI - Graduate Realtor Institute
  • RSPS - Resort and Second Home Property Specialist 
  • ABR - Accredited Buyer Representative
  • SRS - Seller Representative Specialist 
  • Associate Broker

Education:  Bachelor of Science / Major: Speech Communication Radio and Television, Southwest Minnesota State University (1983-1987).  4-year starting linebacker on football team, team captain, MVP, and All-Academic-Northern Intercollegiate Conference senior year.

Previous Occupation: TV Host and Weatherman, WCIA TV – Champaign, IL 1988-2001

"My 2 wonderful children - Francesca and Jack, are the joy of my life, keeping me active and on my toes.  I was born and raised on Chicago's north side, and attended Gordon Tech High School (Proud member of Chicago Prep Bowl Champions,1982)."  While John roots for Chicago sports teams, he'll tell you he is more of a college sports fan.  From his time living in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, John has followed the Orange and Blue - Fighting Illini, of the University of Illinois.  "When I have a little free time, I enjoy golfing, fishing, and hunting."

WHY CLIENTS ENJOY WORKING WITH ME?

  • Careful & Persistent Work Ethic
  • Excellent Communication Skills
  • Straightforward / Honest Advice
  • Expert Negotiation Strategies & Execution
  • Protection of Client's Interests
  • No Pressure  
  • Personable & Friendly 
  • Extra Effort to Ensure Satisfaction

I am honored to have earned my client's Trust and Confidence through the years.  Don't roll the dice with just another real estate agent handling your biggest asset. 

MY PHILOSOPHY IN LIFE...AND BUSINESS:  

Life:  Have passion for what should matter most: faith, family, and friendships.  Treat others the way you want to be treated... and MAKE the time to smell the roses, while enjoying life and those who are most important to you.

Business:   Being a REALTOR means much more than just selling homes.  It's more about building relationships, and always remembering to treat people with respect and dignity.  I was fortunate to learn early in my real estate career - PEOPLE before PROFITS!  Translation:  Do the RIGHT thing for your clients, and the profits will take care of themselves.  In addition, there is NO substitute for having a tenacious work ethic - NEVER QUIT!  

FAVORITE QUOTE:  "Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon will inevitably come to pass."   - Paul J. Meyer
