Floorplan
John Moran was raised in Geelong and continues to maintain his relationship with St Joseph’s College where he was a student and his connections with St Joseph's Football Club.
John was first attracted to real estate while on an overseas working holiday. He enjoyed the industry which allowed him to meet a vast variety of people and build client relationships, while utilising his friendly and likeable personality.
John's strong personal and negotiation skills together with his ability to assist both vendors and buyers in obtaining their required results, means choosing John as your agent will ensure an enjoyable and stress-free experience.
After five years in real estate, John joined the Whitford team as he was attracted to the boutique agency which prides itself on exceptional customer service. He has a wealth of local knowledge and is a committed member of the Geelong community.
John provides his clients with youthful exuberance coupled with proven real estate results and experience in the Geelong area.
