John specializes in large land sales, recreation lands, timber investment properties, waterfront properties, islands, and commercial properties. He operates as a licensed broker in both Maine and New Hampshire for AFM Real Estate, which is part of American Forest Management.

How long has John been working in real estate and forestry?

John has been a licensed real estate agent since 2001 and a licensed forester since 1988. He became a licensed Broker in January 2017, giving him decades of combined experience in both land management and real estate transactions.

What makes John's background as a forester an advantage when buying or selling land?

Because John holds both a real estate broker license and a forestry license, he brings direct knowledge of timber values, land use, and resource assessment to every transaction. As John puts it, being a licensed forester is a great asset when it comes to land, and that expertise helps him set accurate prices and provide informed guidance that a conventional real estate agent might not be able to offer.

How does John approach working with his clients?

John describes his philosophy as putting clients first, which for him means being accessible, a good listener, and a quick communicator who responds promptly to client needs. He also takes a proactive role by sharing important information that helps clients make sound decisions. A client testimonial reflects this approach, noting that John acts as an advisor and advocate rather than simply chasing quick sales, and that he remained a helpful resource even after the transaction was complete.

What is John's educational background?

John earned a Bachelor of Science in Forestry from the University of Maine. That foundation in forestry, combined with more than two decades of real estate experience, underpins his ability to evaluate land and timber properties in depth.

Testimonials

""I am delighted to provide this reference for John Colannino as a licensed real estate broker. John handled the sale of a woodlot in Maine for me. As I had inherited the property, I did not know much about it, including how to access it properly, but John handled everything in a manner that was efficient and painless for me. He scouted it and set a proper price, as judged by the assortment of bids that he was able to attract, including one full-price offer. Throughout the process, John kept me informed and answered all of my questions quickly and accurately. He could not have been more helpful. I think there are several types of real estate agents. Some try to make the quickest sale with the least effort, while others see their role as an advisor and advocate for their clients. John is in the latter category. He sees the big picture and builds relationships with his clients rather than going for quick sales. He listened to all of my concerns and provided proper pushback or perspective when needed. Even after the sale, John has been a huge resource to me. When I needed help finding a forester to do a small job for me on another property, John connected me with the foresters in the company. There is no doubt he would help me with whatever I might ask of him in the future. I would give John the highest possible rating.""
