It was here he fine-tuned an innate sales ability before transitioning into the company’s regional sales office in Chicago, Ill. as an outside mainframe sales rep. Tiring of the cold winters in the Midwest, and after doing some real estate business on the East Coast of Florida, John made the decision to relocate to Boca Grande in 2004 to pursue a career in real estate fulltime. Upon arrival, he hit the ground running and immediately obtained his license followed by a broker associate license in 2006. In 2013, John became a partner in Hendricks, Harms & Associates with Brett Hendricks, where John flourished in the industry, selling just shy of $220 million in sales volume and helping people discover their slice of paradise along the way. The brokerage’s vision of providing best-in-class customer service led them to join forces with Michael Saunders & Company in 2019 to continue strengthening the core business with innovative marketing strategies and administrative support.John and his wife, Patricia, live in Placida with their newly born son, Remington.

I recently bought a beautiful condo in the Cape Haze area. And thanks to John Harms the entire process went very smoothly. He was very knowledgeable and familiar with what was available in the area. He showed several condos and was very patient in answering my many questions. During the contract phase he was very attentive to detail and was an advocate for me. I felt very assured that what I was doing was the absolute right thing. And that is a feeling that no amount of money can buy.
We have been doing business with Michael Saunders & Company for six years, now, with five purchases and one sale, and have found your services to be excellent. Let me particularly commend John Harms, who has invariably been competent, pleasant, and helpful. John has always been available when we needed assistance and worked diligently to aid us through some complex transactions. I will be more than glad to recommend both John and your agency to any friends who are in need of real estate services.
We had used Michael Saunders to buy our Placida home 14 years ago and decided to use Michael Saunders again to sell it. After researching Agents online we decided to contact John Harms because of his experience and excellent sales performance in the Placida, Boca Grande market.John has a wonderful personality and did an excellent job marketing our home. We had hoped to receive a higher selling price but because we already contracted for a new home in Brooksville, the timing was a higher priority. The photographer John used was excellent and the pictures in the MLS were outstanding. Fortunately, our house closed just before the COVID-19 Virus pandemic peaked.John was very congenial and a pleasure to work with. We thank John for helping to make the process proceed smoothly and stress-free and Micheal Saunders for managing the transaction.
