About John Skinner

A native of Los Angeles with a lifetime of local knowledge, I have enjoyed a successful twenty plus residential real estate career consistently ranking in the Wall Street Journal's Real Trends rankings of the top 1.5% of the realtors in the nation. With over 95% of my business coming from direct referrals, I am a trusted confidential resource that cares deeply about my clients and satisfying their real estate needs. My team and I have a vigorous commitment to client satisfaction and understand the extreme importance of taking care of all the details in a real estate transaction. Making sure our clients feel comfortable relaying all of their needs to us so we can successfully negotiate on their behalf is one of our main priorities.

When away from work, you will find me spending time with my wife and our two sons. I love being involved in sports and volunteer as a coach in various youth sports leagues and have been a successful high school basketball coach/mentor winning multiple CIF championships as both a head coach and assistant.
