“John is one of the most thorough and detailed orientated people I’ve ever known,” stated Hilary McAtee, Awards Committee Member, colleague and wife to John. “His personal motto, ‘Always act in the client's best interest,’ isn’t just a saying, it’s his lifestyle. Whether it’s a ten million dollar transaction or a $2,000 a month rental, John brings the same dedication, care, border line obsessive, perfectionism to every deal. John also enjoys mentoring others, both at New England Land and beyond. His goal is not just his own success, but the success of everyone he works with. His service to the Greenwich Association of REALTORS® has been extraordinary, clearly John’s colleagues hold him in the highest regard, and by highest regard, we are all in awe of his energy and expertise.” 


Beyond his professional achievements, John has demonstrated a deep commitment to his community through his volunteer efforts. He has prepared lunches for children at the Carver Center, coached local youth ice hockey, and led initiatives to provide meals for police officers, firefighters, and hospital emergency room workers during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. John has also generously supported numerous local clubs and organizations. A talented athlete, he enjoys a wide range of activities, including skating, playing goalie in ice hockey, hiking, skiing, golf, and racquet sports. Notably, he is a national squash champion and has earned several competitive tennis titles, showcasing his exceptional athleticism and dedication both on and off the court.


The award and induction was announced to members at the GAR Annual Meeting on Friday, January 17th, which was hosted at the Greenwich Country Club.


“It’s a true honor,” stated John. “When you look out over this wonderful group of people who collectively give so much to one another and to say I’m honored is an understatement, and it's really only because of the quality of people that are in here that motivate all of us to pave in a certain way. We’ve got something very special, it’s an amazing organization.” 


John was previously honored as the 2021 Realtor of the Year, further underscoring his outstanding contributions to the field.

GREENWICH, CT, October 30, 2025 - The Greenwich Association of Realtors Community Foundation (GARCF), the charitable arm of the Greenwich Association of REALTORS® (GAR), announces the recipients for its first annual grant process. The GAR Community Foundation is thrilled to award one grand prize $25,000 grant to Meals-on-Wheels of Greenwich to support and expand their core meal delivery program. With the help of this grant, Meals on Wheels of Greenwich aims to reach more food-insecure residents- including elderly adults living alone and children from low-income families by: preparing an additional 1,500 meals annually, increasing weekend meal delivery to preschoolers in local early childhood programs (where many children face food insecurity outside of school hours), upgrading delivery supplies and equipment, and supporting the coordination of their 70+ volunteers. "Meals on Wheels Inc of Greenwich is grateful to have been selected to receive the grant from the Greenwich Association of Realtors Community Foundation,” said Lori Jackson, President of Meals-on-Wheels of Greenwich. “It will support the work we do providing nutritionally balanced meals to those who need support to remain in their homes. These funds will provide a meaningful impact for our current and future clients.” With over six decades of trusted service, Meals-on-Wheels of Greenwich is deeply embedded in the local community, delivering nutritious meals to homebound elderly, disabled adults, and preschool children in need across Greenwich, CT. Clients of Meals-on-Wheels are unable to shop or cook for themselves due to age, disability, illness, or financial hardship. The organization is supported by a team of volunteers who provide meals with care and compassion, while also performing daily wellness checks that often serve as lifelines for those on the receiving end. In addition to the grand prize, five $5,000 unrestricted general operating grants will be awarded to other finalists including: Coffee for Good, Family Centers, Kids in Crisis, River House, and Transportation Association of Greenwich. The 2025 GARCF grantees were selected by a vote of the Greenwich Association of Realtors Community Foundation Directors. The vote followed a thorough review which narrowed down an initial pool of 30 local nonprofit applicants to six finalists based on criteria including the organizations’ demonstrated impact and the population served. While this is the first year the Greenwich Association of Realtors Community Foundation has hosted a formal grant process for local nonprofits to participate in, the Greenwich Association of Realtors and the Greenwich Multiple Listing Service (a wholly owned subsidiary of GAR), have supported local community organizations through charitable giving and philanthropic efforts for over a century, providing well over $500,000 in support for the past five years alone. The GAR Community Foundation was established in preparation for GAR’s centennial celebration in 2024 with the goal of growing these efforts and impact well into the future. The GAR Community Foundation aims to provide funding to projects and initiatives that address critical needs such as housing, resident and elderly services, safety initiatives, conservation and beautification efforts, education and youth development, and more, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for all residents of the Greenwich Community.
