L J John II
Larry “L J” John II approaches real estate with a coach’s discipline, an entrepreneur’s curiosity, and a simple conviction: people deserve honest advice, thoughtful strategy, and someone willing to do the work.
Serving the greater Austin area, L J helps homeowners navigate selling and leasing with a clear understanding of their options. He looks beyond the listing price to examine the competition, presentation, timing, and financial considerations that shape a client’s next move. His approach starts with listening, builds on evidence, and leads to a practical plan.
That philosophy inspired THE L J PROPERTY INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM™, his structured approach to turning property information into informed decisions. From comparative market analysis and pricing strategy to visual marketing and offer evaluation, the system reflects how L J thinks: establish the facts, explain what they mean, and identify the next action.
His marketing combines careful preparation with modern tools, including professional photography, guided video, virtual tours, floor plans, and dedicated property websites. Every element has a purpose: help prospective buyers or tenants understand the home and give it a compelling position in the market.
But L J believes strong representation also requires the courage to have difficult conversations. He is direct about pricing, candid about competition, and willing to challenge a strategy when the evidence calls for it. His clients can expect encouragement alongside accountability, with recommendations grounded in their goals.
Before real estate, L J coached others as a Camp Gladiator trainer. That experience continues to influence his work. He understands that progress takes consistency, that trust grows through follow-through, and that a good coach knows when to motivate and when to tell someone what they need to hear.
Outside of work, L J is a father who values time with his daughter, Layla, and his adult son. He enjoys life with his girlfriend, Kelsey, staying active, spending time with friends, and making a home that feels welcoming for the people he loves, including his labradoodle, Teddy.
Across business and personal life, a consistent thread runs through his choices: he pays attention, asks questions, and keeps looking for ways to improve. For L J, success means building a business he can stand behind while staying present for the people who give that work meaning.
Client Reviews
What clients say about L
“LJ was great with the sell of my home. I was very impressed with his analysis of the market and price of my home when we listed it. I was great at follow up and very pro-active withy communication of individuals that tour the house. I would highly recommend LJ as your next realtor.”
“Working with LJ was the best! I had no idea where to start with getting out home rented out, but luckily for us, LJ found our Zillow listing and reached out.LJ was quick to schedule a time for getting photos taken, great with communication and following up when we got lost with the chaos of moving, and was so transparent about the process. LJ has been the most efficient and effective realtor we have ever worked with. We will continue to work with LJ as needed to rent our home and would love to have LJ as our realtor when we are ready to purchase in the area.”
“LJ did a fantastic job helping us rent out our property. He arranged for professional photos, lined up several showings, and we quickly received two rental applications, along with interest from another prospective tenant. We even had to cancel the next showing because we had already accepted one of the first applications.One thing we especially appreciated was his communication. When we first met, we told him we'd probably be ready to rent the property in about six months. He respected that timeline and didn't pester us with constant follow-ups. Instead, he reached out right around the time we had said we'd be ready, and the timing was perfect.The entire process was smooth and stress-free, and it was a great experience working with LJ. We highly recommend him!”
“Larry turned selling my home at 4201 Arques Ave into a precise, well-run project. His pricing strategy, attention to detail, and calm, direct guidance helped me hit my goals without drama. I had 5 offers on first few days and house was sold by the end of first week. I had two real estate agents before Larry who wasted a lot of my money, energy and caused me significant stress. Go Larry!”
“LJ was great to work with. Made the whole process of renting out my house very seamless and easy. From getting professional photos taken, to listing the property on it's own dedicated webpage, to scheduling showings and running background checks, the entire process was smooth and efficient.”
“10 out of 10 — I cannot recommend Larry enough!Larry was absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish. Communication was top-notch throughout the entire process — we always knew what was happening, what the next steps were, and where we stood. He was responsive, proactive, and truly made us feel like selling our home was just as important to him as it was to us.What impressed us most was how hard Larry went to bat for us. He fought to get us the highest possible value for our home and made sure our best interests were represented every step of the way. You could tell he wasn’t just trying to get the house sold — he wanted to make sure we got the best possible outcome.Larry was actually our second realtor, and my only regret is that he wasn’t our first and only. Our experience with our previous realtor was the complete opposite — very little communication and minimal effort when it came to promoting our property. Once Larry took over, the difference was night and day. He brought the communication, effort, strategy, and hustle that we had been missing.Selling a home can be stressful, but having Larry in our corner made the entire process so much easier. If you’re looking for a realtor who will communicate with you, work hard for you, fight for your best interests, and actually earn your business, Larry is your guy.10/10 — would recommend him without hesitation, and will be our only call when we decide to buy again!!!”
“LJ did a Great job on our house. He was very quick with any questions and aggressive with his work ethic. Totally recommend him for buying or renting a home!”
“LJ did an amazing job helping us list our home. He was very professional, responsive, and accommodating, especially because he managed to keep up with us while being stationed overseas with a 14-hour time difference. We were worried about not finding a buyer or tenant quickly, but he found a great, qualified tenant for our rental home within a month. We were extremely happy with his service and would use him again to sell or rent in a heartbeat. Highly recommend LJ! You won't be disappointed.”
“He was able to sell my home when no one else could! L J was absolutely amazing from start to finish. After having no luck selling my home with previous attempts, he came in with a completely different strategy that made all the difference. His marketing, communication, professionalism, and knowledge of the market were outstanding. He kept me informed every step of the way, answered all of my questions, and worked tirelessly to get my home sold.What really stood out was his dedication and determination—he never gave up and was always looking for new ways to attract buyers and get results. Thanks to his hard work and expertise, he was able to sell my home when no one else could. I couldn't be happier with the experience and would highly recommend L J to anyone looking for a Realtor who truly goes above and beyond.”
“We’ve worked with LJ on two properties and he is great with communication, answering questions, reaching out, and positively persistent following up with any prospective tenants. We recommend him for anyone who wants an agent that is resilient and puts in the effort.”
