Hi, my name is John Oleck. Born and raised in New Jersey, and now living in Michigan since 1968. I am proud to have over 35 years of experience serving the buyers and sellers in West Michigan. Personally I have handled well over $100,000,000 worth of Real Estate transactions. My affiliation with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Michigan Real Estate - a succesful, local, family-owned business for over 68 years - provides knowledge, the support of team work, and state of the art technology necessary to give you the personal, professional service that you deserve.
In addition to being a part of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Michigan Real Estate, I am also a member of the Greater Regional Alliance of Realtors (GRAR), Michigan Association of Realtors (MAR), National Association of Realtors (NAR), and Professional Standards Committee of the Greater Regional Alliance of Realtors.
I've worked hard to achieve 7 prestigious Real Estate Designations:GRI (Graduate Realtors Institute), CRS (Certified Residential Specialist), CSP (Certified New Homes Sales Professional), ABR (Accredited Buyer Representative), SFR (Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource), e-Pro, and am a certified International Real Estate Practitioner (IREP). I have also earned the At Home with Diversity award.
In my personal life, I am a loving husband, father, and grandfather. Married to my beautiful wife Sylvia, for 40 years, we have 6 delightful children, and 8 wonderful grandchildren. I am a proud Aquinas College graduate, having Co-Captained our Cross Country team during the Coach John Flaminio years. I am a lector and member of St Anthony's of Padua Catholic Church. You could say I am a Disciple of Christ, cleverly disguised as a Real Estate Broker! In the community, I am active in the Grand Rapids Right To Life, as well as a founding member of Kepha , a local Catholic Men's Ministry. Notre Dame football is one of my favorite things, and I am always open to have religious and political discussions!
My pledge:I promise to put your interests, needs, and concerns first. And I promise to always give you the personal, professional, and prayerful service you deserve.
If you're looking for a professional you can trust with experience, knowledge and a proven track record of selling real estate, I am the Broker you want working for you.
