About John Pontillo
Your NY ↔ FL Connection for New Construction and Real Estate Expertise
Born and raised in Westchester County, New York, I’ve spent my life immersed in real estate — from the historic charm of New York’s Hudson Valley to the coastal growth of Florida’s Gulf Coast. Since purchasing my first home in 1994, I’ve spent more than 31 years gaining hands-on experience in every corner of the market: buying and selling multiple homes, managing investment properties, and collaborating on new construction projects from the ground up.
That firsthand perspective gives me a deep understanding of what today’s buyers want — and what goes into building homes that last. Whether it’s evaluating construction quality, understanding builder incentives, or guiding clients through the design and build process, I bring the practical insight that only decades of real-world experience can provide.
As a Real Estate Associate licensed in both New York and Florida, I proudly serve with Realty ONE Group MVP, helping clients bridge the gap between their Northern roots and Southern dreams. I also hold the Seniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®) designation, allowing me to provide compassionate, personalized service to clients aged 55 , including those exploring active-adult and new construction communities.
Whether you’re a retiree selling your longtime New York home to build your Florida dream residence, a Gen-X buyer planning your next chapter, or an investor exploring new development opportunities, I’m here to help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and care.
