Meet John

John is a Sussex County native, current Vernon Township resident, and a seasoned real estate professional - a family man, a businessman, entrepreneur, and truly takes pride in being a part of northern New Jersey.

A leading top producer consistently earning the NJAR® Circle of Excellence Sales Award since his first rookie year, John furthered his education after 5 years into real estate to receive a Real Estate Brokers license. Shortly thereafter, John became the proud business owner of Clearview Realty right here in Sussex County, New Jersey. A dominant force in the real estate market and a firm believer to ‘always do the right thing and great things will happen’ - John is proud to note Clearview Realty has recently increased $60,000,000 in additional sales growth, is home to 9 recent Circle of Excellence Sales Award winners, the New Jersey 2021 Realtor of the Year, and some of the very finest sales associates in all of New Jersey.

Real Estate is constantly evolving and with that, John has remained in the forefront of the industry by committing to innovative marketing strategies and cutting-edge technology. His specialties include listing lake and country homes, fine estates, farm properties, and being truly dedicated to his customers and their needs. From the first meeting to closing he provides personalized service, open availability, and topnotch negotiating skills–always with his customers best interests at heart. John recognizes the valued trust his clients place in him and strives daily to exceed their expectations.

John takes pride in extending his knowledge while mentoring licensed Sales Associates and offering others the ability to embrace real estate as a full-time career. For him, the satisfaction that comes with helping a new agent get a strong start in their career is extremely rewarding. From an open house to negotiating a sale, John lends himself as a role model while demonstrating how to handle themselves in a wide range of home sale situations. He helps identify individual strengths and work with each mentee to overcome any weaknesses to shape an effective and purposeful work ethic. Just as important, John teaches constructive outlets on how to handle disappointment and grow through failure to keep priorities straight. John offers mentorship and time management skills to agents in, and outside of Clearview Realty, knowing a strong bond with a like-minded agent who they can trust to be honest and supportive can make all the difference between success and failure.

John and his wife Ana recently became the proudest parents ever to their first child, a precious baby boy. When not working, they love to explore the outdoors with their playful dogs, Teddy & Leo. John also enjoys other hobbies including camping, hiking, and losing rounds in golf. But the most important by far - quality time with family and friends. 

Success doesn’t come easy. The dedication to work hard, listen, and follow through while providing excellent service to buyers and sellers is what it takes to earn the trust, referrals, and repeat business. And with each encounter John makes every effort to make that happen. If you're looking for a change of real estate scenery, or if you want to find out more of what makes Sussex County so unique, give John Schlaffer a call.
