John King served five years in the United States Navy as a Machinist Mate. The discipline, accountability, and mission-first mindset he built during his service became the foundation for everything he does in real estate.
After transitioning out of the Navy, John entered real estate and never looked back. He earned Keller Williams Rookie of the Year in 2014 and has been the #1 listing and sales agent at his Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices RW Towne Realty office for 11 consecutive years (2015–2025).
With 441 closings across Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, and the full Hampton Roads region, John has the experience, the market knowledge, and the negotiation skill that comes from doing this at a high level every single day.
John came to Hampton Roads on Navy orders, chose to stay, and has spent his entire real estate career studying this market from the inside out. From the waterfront neighborhoods of East Beach and Shore Drive to the family communities of Great Neck and the emerging corridors of Chesapeake and Norfolk, he knows what drives value in each micro-market and how to use that knowledge to his clients' advantage.
When you hire John King, you're not getting a generalist. You're getting an agent who knows exactly how to price, prepare, and position your specific home in your specific neighborhood to attract the right buyers at the right price.
Hampton Roads is home to Naval Station Norfolk — the largest naval station in the world — along with NAS Oceana, JEB Little Creek, Joint Base Langley-Eustis, and multiple other installations. John understands the timelines, the stress, and the specific needs that come with a military relocation.
He has helped military families land in the right home, in the right community, on time and without the chaos. If you're PCS-ing to Hampton Roads, John is the agent who has been there and knows how to make the process smooth.
A two-person operation built on trust. When you work with KingRealtor757, you work directly with John and Chrissy — not a rotating team of junior agents.

John on the training behind the results — negotiation, marketing, and a decade of coaching. Each video has a written transcript below it.
People ask me all the time, John, why should I work with you to buy or sell a home? And while results certainly matter, what sets me apart is education that gives my clients a cutting-edge advantage. Most REALTORS® stop learning once they get their license, and there's virtually no training on how to do this job afterwards. That's why I've spent over 10 years being personally coached by one of the largest real estate training companies in the world, which included four one-on-one sessions every month focused on marketing, mastery, negotiation, and how to run a good business. What that means for you: when we're negotiating, I'm using strategies built to protect your money, not guesswork. I've trained through the Wilson Learning Institute to understand all the personality styles, so whether I'm working with a nervous first-time buyer or a tough competitor, I know how to connect, influence, and close that deal. I've studied former FBI negotiator Chris Voss, author of Never Split the Difference, to master tactical communication, so when multiple offers come in or we're fighting for the best price, I know how to keep the leverage in your favor. I've trained one-on-one in persuasion, psychology, and neuro-linguistic programming, giving me the tools to position your home or your offer for the best possible outcome. And because digital marketing is everything today, I'm earning the equivalent of a master's in online marketing and social media strategy, which means your home doesn't just hit the MLS or a website; it gets seen everywhere buyers are looking. Even outside of real estate I'm focused on discipline, training with a top powerlifting coach two to three times per week, because the way you do one thing is the way you do everything. So when you work with me, you're not just hiring a REALTOR®. You're hiring over a decade of education, negotiation mastery, and marketing strategy, all focused on one goal: helping you win in real estate. I'm John King with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices RW Towne Realty.
