Meet John
A shared passion.
A practical advantage.
John’s first flight in a 1960 Cessna 172A at Air Park Dallas sparked a lasting connection to aviation. He later bought a share in that same airplane, learned to fly, and founded Airplanes & Coffee in 2020.
His housing career began in 2011, spanning leasing, sales and regional leadership. Today, he brings that experience to buyers and sellers who need someone who understands both the home and the hangar.

Before you begin
A few useful answers.
Do you only work with aviation properties?
No. John helps clients buy and sell homes, acreage, luxury, new construction and investment properties throughout North Texas. His signature specialty is aviation real estate across Texas.
What makes aviation real estate different?
Runway access, hangar dimensions, taxiways, community rules, airport ownership, insurance and the way pilots search can all affect a transaction. John understands those details as both a private pilot and an experienced aviation-property agent.
Can you help with aviation property anywhere in Texas?
Yes. John is based in North Texas and serves aviation-property clients across Texas, coordinating local resources when needed.
Can you help if I am moving outside Texas?
Yes. John can connect you with a qualified local professional through his nationwide real estate network and remain a resource during the transition.
How can your nationwide network help sell my North Texas property?
John can share appropriate listings through relationships with real estate professionals, pilots and aviation leaders nationwide—an added layer of targeted exposure to people connected with buyers moving to Texas.
How do you market a one-of-a-kind property?
John combines accurate positioning, professional presentation, targeted digital marketing and direct access to relevant communities. The plan is built around the property and its likely buyer—not copied from a generic listing template.
