In addition, he was  always generous with his time, and was always prompt in returning my phone  calls.”

Jon Wardlaw, Assistant  Planning Manager – Clark County   Comprehensive Planning  Department

“I worked  for John as an economic researcher and real estate analyst and many of my  better habits were acquired through John’s mentoring. I know the level of  detail that John puts into his work, as well as the competency of the staff he  employs…all way, way above par. We also continue to work together on  occasional projects and I find that John is one of the best peer reviewers of  my work and if it passes his test than I have no fear of putting it out to the  public. In addition, there is no economist or real estate analyst in the Las Vegas Valley with the breadth of experience  that John has, or his intuitive ability to spot trends or easily determine the  essence of problem. I would certainly recommend John as a consultant or as a  speaker for events.”

John’s opinions are well-founded as they are based upon his  tireless research in every aspect of real estate. His credentials are unmatched  by anyone in the Las Vegas   Valley.
