"This is the 3rd projects that I hired John. I hired him for his assistance in purchase of real estates in MO and IL. I wish he has licenses in 50 other states so I can hire him for all my real estate matters. He prevented me from making big mistakes in all the projects. Again I'm very happy with his excellent services!"
