"We met John at an open house near our home. The house already had an offer and was above our budget. He was kind and helpful to get us into a similar style home with the great room feel that was within our budget. He attended to all our needs even viewing homes that were pretty far off the beaten path. We ended up with a new home on property that fit our needs and wants. I will recommend John to family and friends!" -Nicole Faull

"Is there an option for 10 stars? John totally deserves it! My family and I couldn't be happier to have John on our side helping us through the very important home buying process in a crazy Seattle area real estate market. John was always up to speed with the latest trends in the market, he really understood our criteria and what kind of home we were looking for and why, not just the requirements but the reasons for them also and he would specifically call those out anytime we'd go see a potential house. He would scout not only our area of interest but the surrounding areas and point out the pros and cons to help us make a well informed decision. Ultimately we ended up buying in an area which John recommended and we took his advice and purchased a home that perfectly fits our needs and the neighborhood and city was perfect along with the school with a growing family. John is a true rock star to have in your corner. And we can't recommend him highly enough. It took us a while to find the perfect home and John was very professional and friendly throughout, he became part of our family! His industry knowledge and expertise was immense also in the negotiation stage of offer submission and we always felt like we had the upper hand with John by our side. As our needs change or grow, I'm willing to commit to John Olcese as our go to agent for lifetime!" -Bilal Mirza

"My husband and I worked with John back in spring 2021 in search of a house on the Eastside (of Seattle). Although house hunting in 2021 was a nightmare due to the general housing market environment, but we were glad to have John with us for the ride. He remained calm and acted as our voice of reason throughout the entire process every time we get frustrated and wanting to give up. He also never once rushed us into making a decision or ask us to make an offer over our comfort level even though we all know that's what it would take to get that house. He patiently worked with us and came with us to see multiple listings every weekend for 4 months straight, from Bothell all the way to Renton until we finally found our house. He is also very knowledgable of all the cities on the Eastside, and even different areas within a city since he grew up in the area. I would highly recommend John to anyone who is looking for a house in the Seattle metropolitan area." -Sherry Yeun


About John
John has been in the RE industry for over 15 years both as a Real Estate agent and previously in mortgage finance as a loan officer. He has lived up and down the Eastside for the last 40 years and has helped his clients buy and sell homes from Bellingham to Maple Valley and everywhere in between.
 
On joining Compass Real Estate, John shared, "The decision was easy. Once I got my hands on the platform, saw for myself all the tools, resources and personal support available, there was nothing else out there even close. Compass also allows me the freedom and flexibility to form my own relationships within the industry with like minded professionals who are focussed on stellar customer experience. My team of service providers; lenders, title and escrow, contractors etc, have all been carefully vetted by me to ensure a quality experience for you from start to finish. Who you work with matters yes, and who they work with can matter even more.

When buying a home, you may know exactly what you're looking for, or you may need to see everything out there, everyone is different on their approach and I fully customize the search experience to meet your needs.  You'll see first hand the passion I have for what I do and how much it means to me to hand you a set of keys to your new home, because I can tell it means everything to you.

Selling your home is never easy - you're walking away from a lot of memories and it can seemingly be a daunting task depending on what needs to be done prior to hitting the market.  This is something you'll do 3 or 4 times in your life but, I do this for a living and have streamlined the process to make the transition out of your  house easier than you thought possible.  It's simply a coordination of services, attention to detail, adhering to a calendar of events then stellar representation when we are active on the market with you knowing I have your best interests in mind."

John is happily married with 5 kids, enjoys spending time with friends and family and is also an avid Eagles fan, "It's like a genetic mutation passed down from generations in my family, nothing I can do about it so I embrace it, Go Birds".
