Selling?

I am John McKinnes. I am originally from south Florida, lived in the Raleigh area for the last 11 years. I am super lucky to have a wife, 3 boys, and a black Lab. I truly love working in Real Estate, as I’d love nothing more than to get you into your dream home. The thought of selling your home can sometimes be daunting, but it doesn’t have to be! With my expertise, together, we can make this as seamless as possible. I will help you through every step of the process, and continue to be there for you, even after you sign the dotted line. We’ll have some homework before getting your house listed. We will meet, walk through your property together, and discuss any repairs or improvements you can make that will increase the marketability of your home. My goal is to get you the best price, in the shortest amount of time. Buying? Let's tour some houses together! My competitiveness will ensure that we find the right home for you. We will chat about all your wants and must-haves, and I will send you all current listings that meet that. We will make arrangements to see the houses you are interested in. When you find “the one”, I will help you get your offer to purchase to the seller, and help you through the entire process, such as inspections and surveys, and connect you with the best in the area for any other needs, such as home owners insurance. I will look out for you as if you were my family, always putting your best interest first. I am a fiduciary to all my clients and treat all parties in transactions with the upmost respect. I would be honored to help you with your next real estate transaction, so give me a call or text!

Alright, I think it’s time you get to know the guy behind the posts.

I’m John — a Realtor, husband, dad of three human kids, and two furry ones. Clearly, I enjoy a life of negotiating.

I’m your , and I genuinely love what I do. I was born and raised in South Florida, spent 11 years in North Carolina, and in 2022 brought my family back to Florida and settled here in Southwest Florida.

Between real estate, kids, sports, dogs, and whatever chaos the day brings, there’s rarely a dull moment around our house.

And that’s probably a big part of why I love real estate. A home is about a lot more than four walls. It’s where your kids grow up, where you make memories, and where life happens.

Buying or selling? I want to be the person you can call when you don’t know what to do next.

A lot of my clients are buying new construction. My relationships with builder reps and familiarity with the communities help me navigate the process, understand what’s available, and look for opportunities that could save you money or get you more for your budget.

And when things get complicated, I stay involved. I make the calls, find the answers, return the texts, and make sure you’re never left wondering what’s happening or trying to track me down.

Whether you’re looking in Babcock, Fort Myers, Punta Gorda, Cape Coral, or anywhere across Southwest Florida, I’m here to help.

Because when you work with me, I want you to feel like you have someone in your corner — not just someone who helped you buy or sell a house.

That’s how I treat my clients. The same way I’d want someone to treat my own family.

The Panthers are BACK. 🐆🏒

Nothing says Florida dad life quite like loading up the family and heading down to Sunrise for some Panthers hockey.

And from Babcock Ranch, it’s just a quick 2-hour drive… close enough for a game day adventure without making it a whole weekend trip.

Hockey, family, Florida… pretty good combination.

Who is your favorite NHL team?

Not everyone is looking for a house in a neighborhood.

Maybe you’re dreaming about a little more land, more privacy, room for the kids to run, space for the dogs, or just a quieter way of life.

There are plenty of options around Southwest Florida for those looking to trade a little neighborhood density for a little more breathing room.

If that sounds more like your dream home, let’s talk.

Took my son for his yearly check-up and we didn’t even have to leave Babcock Ranch.

One of those little conveniences you don’t fully appreciate until you have it.

🌅 Sometimes you don’t need to go anywhere…

You just need to slow down.

A quiet morning by the lake. 🌅
A sunset reflecting across the water. 🌴
A walk on the trails. 🚲
And that feeling that somehow, you’re still in Southwest Florida… but away from all the noise.

That’s Babcock Ranch. ❤️

🌿 More than 50% of Babcock Ranch is dedicated to green space, parks, lakes and nature paths.

☀️ It’s America’s first solar-powered town, with solar fields spanning 870 acres and enough capacity to generate nearly 150 MW of clean energy.

🚲 The community is planned for 100+ miles of trails, connecting neighborhoods, parks and some seriously beautiful views.

🐊 And because this is Florida, you might spot everything from great blue herons and turtles to an alligator enjoying the same view you are. 😂

The best part?

You can watch the sunrise…
watch the sunset…
and realize you never had to leave home. 🌅❤️

This is Babcock Ranch.
A little bit of nature. A little bit of community. And a whole lot of Southwest Florida living. [email protected] (239) 202-0581 📲
