John’s goal is to do things a bit differently while carrying the same principles. He strives to treat all with honesty, integrity, humility, compassion, and a warm smile. When not in the field, he enjoys spending time outdoors and being active in many different ways. A few of his interests include golf, pickleball, kayaking, fishing, and playing in a local soccer league. Once winter rolls around, you may see him cruising down a trail at one of the Berkshires’ many wonderful ski resorts. If you are looking for a diligent advisor who embodies your values, look no further than John Burns.

Heather and David Gittleman

The sale of my home in Sheffield was handled by Mr John Burns. I was very satisfied with the service. Mr. Burns was very kind and patient dealing with an old lady like me. He went out of his way to be helpful with many little things. He was always very prompt in answering phone calls and getting information back to me. I can't say enough about his good service, especially in these times of much poor service from many businesses. I hope you will put a copy of this letter in his file.
