John Travis
John has called the New River Valley home for the past 26 years.
John received his Realtor® license in 2014, and has been closely tied to the housing industry for nearly 16 years. Together, with his wife Donna, they started J and D Builders of the NRV in 2000 and have since built three different residential developments in the New River Valley.
Working as a Class A Contractor and builder gives John a unique perspective to the housing business that has direct application to real estate. Clients consistently praise John’s attention to detail, his tireless work ethic, and above all the integrity he brings to every project as he continues to use those traits as a Realtor®. Whether you are building a home, finding you a home or selling your home, John’s motto remains, “The first thing I build is trust”.
John and Donna have called the New River Valley their home for the past 26 years and have loved the opportunity to make themselves part of the community. They moved here with their family from North Carolina and have no plans to leave! They raised their two children, Andrew and Lauren, in their great family friendly neighborhood in Pulaski. The Travis’ are also very active in their church and appreciate their ability to go on service trips to underprivileged countries.
They both understand the importance of finding the perfect home for their buyers and ensuring the best price for their sellers. Not one to spend time idly, they love the constant changes and challenges that come with any sale. They are always ‘on the clock’ for their clients, working nights and weekends to accommodate their busy lives. Whether you are building a home, finding you a home or selling your home, The Travis Team motto remains, “The first thing we build is trust”.
