John Maltese

Realtor Platinum Living Realty #JM303
Established in 1987.
I am a full time agent who believes that understanding, communication, knowledge & service are the key building blocks in working for my clients.
Born & raised in the Chicago area, I've been a Realtor since 1987 & worked as a Firefighter from 1985 to 1997. After retiring from the fire department on duty disability, I moved to Scottsdale, AZ & continued to practice real estate full time. I am a firm believer that the best way to serve my clients is to personally handle their real estate needs 100% of the time, although I do have a team that supports me when needed. I do promise that when working for you, whether you are buying or selling your home, you will have all the information and knowledge you need to make a sound decision you will be comfortable with.

John and Darla were professional, informed and patient during our search for a new home in a new area after more than 30 years in the same home. My wife, Kim, and I are more than satisfied with the care and concern exhibited by both of them. We would highly recommend them to anyone seeking the assistance of a professional in the real estate business!

We used John to sell our home and then buy our new one. John is a true professional! His knowledge and expertise helped us every step of the way. We were so happy with his service that we are currently using him again! I highly recommend him :)

The first word that comes to mind when John Maltese’s name is mentioned is “honest.” The second word is “nice.” John Maltese exudes characteristics that make people feel safe and secure that he is exactly who he appears to be. Perhaps that is why at least 80 percent of his real estate business at Re/Max Platinum Living in Scottsdale is built on referrals.

A great Realtor! We met John when our kids were in youth leagues and loved him as a coach and person. We immediately contacted him to help us sell a house and later to buy. He is a man of integrity and honesty. He is not afraid to tell home owners the truth and looks to create realistic expectations. He is hardworking and very enjoyable to be around. He always had my family's best interest in mind and was so enjoyable to work with.

John is outstanding in all regards including understanding the client needs and his follow up responses are 'off the chart' good. He gave my wife and I the comfort to purchase a home on a short timeframe as a part of a major relocation. I highly recommend.

Loved working "with" John. He respected my opinions and questions. I always felt he was honest with me and he never made me feel like I was inconveniencing him. He was always willing to work around my crazy schedule. John seemed to have my best interest in mind and I LOVE my new home.

“Over a year ago my husband Brad and I thought it was time to start looking for our second home in Scottsdale. We were to become the proverbial ‘snow birds’ to avoid the frosts of Minnesota. Long story short, I found John’s web site and began conversations with him regarding the type of house we were looking for. Eventually, we came out to Scottsdale and put an offer on a home that we found through an email that John had sent us regarding homes that met our criteria. We didn’t get the house, but stayed in contact with John throughout the year.
John’s patience with us finally paid off. 1 year later we put an offer in on another house we were interested in buying. John negotiated with the sellers for us and we bought the house. Since we couldn’t be in Arizona for the closing, John supervised all the repairs and advised us about the home warranty. His suggestions about caring for a home in Arizona have been invaluable information to us as well. Throughout the entire transaction, John was never pushy and always patient with the myriad of questions we presented him. Because we were from out-of-state, it was important that we had an agent we could trust. John is as honest as they come. He really earns his living with excellent service and attention to detail,”

Sometimes it's all about luck, and we were fortunate to get John’s name from a friend at a company function. They had just purchased a home in the Phoenix area and were very happy with John as their realtor. John was very prompt with providing home listings that matched our criteria; he was flexible with our schedule and attentive during our walk troughs the many homes on our list

John has managed our property. Our primary home is in Chicago. John has made it possible for us to own our second home. He provides professional care in overseeing our property, any repairs or updates we need are taken care of immediately. John also keeps us in the loop about property values, sales and the potential to move. By educating us about the market, the neighborhoods and listening to our needs, he has made us feel that our choice of home is the right choice for us. When our needs change John will be right there to get us into our next perfect home.

Explains why John remains a successful REALTOR in good market conditions and bad. “John was recently my REALTOR for my home sale in Scottsdale. He is a man who defines integrity as he meets his commitments with truth and honesty. He worked hard to market and sell my house and communicated often and effectively every step of the way. I would highly recommend him to my friends and associates because he delivers a high level of customer service. This attribute is very important to me when I look for someone to assist me in a financial transaction.
