PERSONAL
In 1989 at the age of 16, John and 3 childhood friends formed a "boy band" that signed with East/West Atlantic Records. They went on to tour the Caribbean Islands, parts of Europe and small venues throughout the United States. After the sudden death of his close friend and boy band member, John decided to put a halt on his music career. Although TV was not his next choice, it fell in his lap.

John was cast in Boston for NBC's Treasure Hunters along with 2 childhood friends and twins; Martin and Matthew Mullen. NBC dubbed the trio "Southie Boys" to show off their strong roots and South Boston ties. The Southie Boys battled for almost 2 months across the globe and finished in second place just shy of 1st place and the 3 Million dollar grand prize. Some videos can be seen here.

Testimonials:

"We put our South Boston condo on the market in the summer of 2012 for $475k with another realtor and we received little interest and no offers. Eventually we took it off the market for the winter. In February we researched realtors carefully and interviewed and received proposals from three different companies. John at Cap Residential stood out for us primarily due to his ability to identify and speak so enthusiastically about all of the positive aspects of our condo. Before we even received his recommendation for pricing, we felt most comfortable with him representing our property. We then received all three pricing recommendations, two of which were ranges from $460 to $475k, but John recommended a range between $529k and $549k – fully 15% higher. We were very apprehensive, but John explained in great detail why this was a realistic range and showed us that he had his finger on the pulse of the local market. We put the condo on for $529k, John brought in 70+ people to the first and only open house and we had an offer within 48 hours and the probability of several more to come. We were very happy with the first offer even though I suspect John could have got us more offers and a higher price had we given him the chance, but we decided not to wait and have just recently closed with the buyer at $509k. Not only did we receive a much higher selling price by choosing John but the whole process was smooth and handled professionally throughout. I would recommend John and Cap Residential to anyone selling in the South Boston area without any hesitation."

"I was stuck in an awful situation. Someone told me they heard about Capital Residential Group, located in South Boston. I called and spoke to John Collins. He reassured me that I was in good hands, without sounding over the top, or basically, a schmoozer. He was down to earth and sounded like a real team player. I received a free initial consultation and knew that things were going to become that much brighter.

John and his team helped me to realize the value of investing and how to take the right steps in order to make such a big decision. I had almost given up and really did not know where else to turn. I was clearly placed in the right hands and would recommend John, Paula and the rest of the team to anyone. :)

"John Collins and all of Capital Residential Group have been top notch to work with! Being new to the South Boston area, John and his team welcomed us and made us feel like we were their main priority. Everyone on the team is personable and friendly, making it easy to ask the questions you need to ask and get the answers you need!

They are very open, approachable and willing to go the extra mile for you.

I recommend Capital Residential Group to anyone out there looking for the best, most truthful answers to market/tech trends at the best value, whether you are looking to sell or buy!

"I found Michelle Talbot and John Collins on a whim walking home from the dentist, thinking it was about time I got moving on buying a place. I got very lucky. They were both fantastic to deal with. Michelle got me moving on the search, which was exactly what I wanted. She is very professional, efficient and was was there when I needed her for anything at all. She has become a friend in the process, and I'd definitely go back to her if I decide to rent my new place. John was fantastic at helping me get all my documents organized for a mortgage application, remained completely charming even when I changed my mind about the lock-in details after I'd signed off on them, and in the end definitely went beyond the call of duty in helping me overcome a few glitches in the mortgage process. All in all, a very good experience. I'd recommend Capital Residential Group to anyone.
