SELECTED EXPERIENCE
REAL ESTATE
Practice
Residential to historic estates exceeding $2 million. Rhode Island's coastal markets and southeastern Massachusetts.
Focused on seller representation. Every transaction gets the same preparation, whether it's a first home or a historic estate. On occasion, I take on select buyer clients where the fit is right and the opportunity warrants the same level of research and preparation. Existing clients who need to buy, whether it is your next home or an addition to the portfolio, call me first. I already know what you want and how you think. That is the advantage.

TESTIMONIALS
What People Are Saying
“John’s preparation before listing was unlike anything we’d seen. He knew the market, the comps, and exactly how to position our home.”
SELLER, TIVERTON
PHILOSOPHY
Approach
John Long Real Estate. Seller representation across southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Local knowledge built over generations, not acquired overnight.
In New England, you choose the person first. The trust, the connection, the sense that someone understands what your home means to you. That part matters. What separates a good experience from a great one is what comes after: the preparation, the process, and the discipline to get the details right.
Research before the sign goes up
I do the homework before the sign goes up. Pricing analysis, comparable sales, local buyer demand. The preparation happens before the photos.
Systems, not hustle
Every seller gets the same process. Staging assessment, professional photography, targeted marketing, weekly reporting. Nothing gets skipped.
Pricing discipline
The right price on day one generates more money than a high price with reductions. The data decides.
Straight answers, not scripts
You will know what is happening, why, and what comes next. I do not script conversations. I answer questions.
PREPARATION OVER PROMISES.
THE RIGHT PRICE ON DAY ONE.
$2.5M+ SOLD.

VALUES
Where It Comes From
Three generations of business across southeastern Massachusetts and Newport County. A grandfather who served 24 years in the Massachusetts State House while running an insurance agency across the state line. A father who put himself through law school and practiced for over forty years. The family has worked this geography longer than most brokerages have existed.
John is the first in the family to live in Rhode Island, but the state line is a technicality. He grew up in Westport, Massachusetts, one town over from Tiverton. Same roads, same coast, same people. Friends from high school live on these streets. His parents' friends lived down the road. Leadership SouthCoast, Class of 2009, brought the rest of the region into the same circle. The relationships here aren't networking. They're the ones that started before the career did.
