Realtors will celebrate thirty years on the Town Square of Collierville with an open house from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m.nbsp; Everyone is invited.nbsp; John has participated in Collierville growing from about 6,000 in population to over 45,000 today.nbsp; Founded in 1979 the company has grown from a one-man office into a 50+ agent company with full time relocation and commercial departments.nbsp; Today, it consistently ranks in the top ten real estate companies in the Memphis area.div>div style=MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt>John Green was raised in a small town, Brooker, Florida, located 18 miles north of Gainesville.nbsp; His family has eight generations in Florida.nbsp; This Florida Gator received a degree in Chemical Engineering form the University of Florida in 1963.nbsp; He transferred from Perry, Florida to Memphis in 1966 with Buckeye Cellulose.nbsp; He met his future wife, Marilyn Barnes, on a blind date in 1966 and they married a year later, settling in Midtown Memphis.nbsp; After obtaining a real estate license, he began selling real estate full time in 1968.nbsp; In 1970 John returned to Buckeye Cellulose and in 1972 was transferred to Alberta, Canada.div>div style=MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt>In 1977 John returned to the Memphis area with his family, determined to establish himself in real estate. Why did John locate in Collierville when he knew absolutely no one in Collierville prior to 1978?nbsp; In October 1978 he purchased a Chevrolet from Fookrsquo;s Chevrolet.nbsp; The small town atmosphere in the dealership reminded him of his rural home in North Florida.nbsp; The more he looked at Collierville the more he fell in love with the town.nbsp; John visualized Poplar Avenue as the rainbow of Shelby County with Collierville being the ldquo;pot of goldrdquo; at the end of the rainbow.div>div style=MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt>John believes his greatest contribution to the Town of Collierville has been founder of the Teacher Appreciation Luncheon in 1988 and Collierville Education Foundation in 1996.nbsp; He said small grants given each year to the teachers have contributed to Collierville having the best schools in Shelby County.nbsp; We need the best schools in order to attract high quality employers like Federal Express.nbsp; His mother and wife retired after long careers of elementary school teaching.nbsp; He likes to say he was raised by a teacher and now he is managed by one.nbsp; John loves Early American and Southern History and his hobby is collecting books.nbsp; His goal is to make his books available to the public at some future date.nbsp; John and Marilyn both love family genealogy.div>div style=MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt>John said the most unexpected and personal benefit of having his own business has been the decisions their two sons, Allen and Michael, made to join the company.nbsp; John never considered it a possibility until the day Allen called up in 1995 and offered to join.nbsp; Michael joined the company in 1998.nbsp; John believes one of Godrsquo;s greatest rewards is grandchildren and he enjoys his three several times each week.div>div style=MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt>Why does John believe his company has been successful?nbsp; When John worked in industry with a company owned by Procter and Gamble he learned to hire the best people and keep them.nbsp; His office manager, Jane Craig, joined in 1980.nbsp; The relocation director, Betty Clayton, joined in 1985, Sandra Howard, receptionist and manager of advertising and purchasing, joined in 1989.nbsp; Kirby Oldham, sales manager, joined in 1995. Some agents have been with the company over 20 years.nbsp; He is unaware of any real estate company in the Memphis area that has a staff of longer tenure.nbsp; He believes his sons will keep the company going at least another 40 years.div>div style=MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt>John is busy in the community.nbsp; He has held multiple chairmanships and board memberships in many organizations affiliated with his profession and community. John is a Rotary Paul Harris Fellow and past president of the Collierville Rotary Club.nbsp; He is a member and active deacon with Germantown Baptist Church and board member with the Biblical Resource Center and Museum located on the Historic Town Square of Collierville.nbsp; John has earned numerous professional designations in real estate.nbsp; He has received the Collierville Person of the Year Award, Collierville Education C. H. Harrell Education award, Lifetime Tennessee State PTA Membership and Shelby County Education Association Bill Colvard Friend of Education Award.div>div style=MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt>br >div>div style=MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt -63pt; TEXT-INDENT: 9pt>div> Mon, 16 Mar 2009 01:37:00 CST http://www.johngreen.com/Pressrelease/PressRelease.asp?rssId=11 http://www.johngreen.com/Pressrelease/PressRelease.asp?rssId=10 p>a href=http:www.colliervillerealestateblog.com>Click here to read the latest post on ColliervilleRealEstateBlog.coma>p> Fri, 30 Jan 2009 01:37:00 CST http://www.johngreen.com/Pressrelease/PressRelease.asp?rssId=10 http://www.johngreen.com/Pressrelease/PressRelease.asp?rssId=9 p>strong>The National Association of Realtorsstrong>font face=Times New Roman size=3>strong>reg;strong> a href=http:www.realtor.orgpress_roomnews_releases200901ehs_shows_strong_gain?LID=RONav0021>font color=#0000ff>is reporting an increase in existing sales.font>a>nbsp;This is an encouraging sign for things to come.

Its time to buy Collierville Real Estate Now!a> h3>div class=post-header-line-1>div>div class=post-body entry-content>Are you thinking of buying a home or investment property but find yourself paralyzed with fear ? Do one thing.....QUIT LISTENING TO THE MEDIA NOW!br >br >Where are all the major media in this country located? It is of course New York. How many single family homes are there in Manhattan? Im pretty sure the answer is zero! Which is the same number of analysts that understands the Real Estate market. It is amazing to me that the housing market which drives our economy is so misunderstood by the media. At their best the media is behind the curve 3 months but more like 6-12 months behind. The numbers they quote on the nightly news are from the second quarter. The third quarter numbers have not made it to press yet. Add to this dilemma that real estate markets are very regional and the press has no idea what is going on.br >br >Well what is going on is we are in the tail end of a Buyers market. We can look back at history and see how we rebounded from past buyers markets.br >br >July 1980-March1983 Buyers Market(The Deregulation of the mortgage industry got us out of this one. We went from having to put 20% down to being able to get 95% loans)br >br >March 1983- Summer 1991 Sellers Marketbr >br >Summer 1991-1993 Buyers Marketbr >br >1993-2006 Sellers Market (In Collierville we experienced a Buyers market in 2000-2001)br >br >2006-???? Buyers Market( In Collierville we should rebound 1-2 quarter 2009, nationally it may be 3-4 quarter 2009)br >br >The interesting thing is we always bounce back and the buyers markets usually last 2-3 years.br >br >Especially if you are a first time home buyer, dont have a house to sell or are wanting to move up in the local Collierville market you need to buy now!!!! This is the kind of market that 2-3 years from now you will be saying quot; I should have bought then!quot;. The Real Estate market is like all other markets it has ups and downs. span style=COLOR: #000099>a href=http:www.nytimes.com20081017opinion17buffett.html>font color=#000080>Warren Buffett said in a recent editorial in the New York Times quot;A simple rule dictates my buying: Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful.quot;font>a>span>span style=COLOR: #000099>br >span>br >The housing market drives our economy and the federal government knows this. everything that can be done will be done to help the struggling housing market which will ensure the next Sellers market.
