Belling-Selling Author, Broker & Owner – The JRS Realty Group
John Salkowski is a highly successful real estate broker based in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. For more than a decade, John has headed The JRS Realty Group Real Estate Advisors as its founder, president and broker.
In addition to having distinguished himself among the top 1% of Realtors in the nation and Philadelphia Magazine for client satisfaction and customer service, John is a best-selling author of the book – Leadership in the Line of Duty.
John’s road to real estate followed a somewhat indirect path. After 15 years as a police officer, John wanted to find a profession where he could have more control over his day-to-day activities.
As he tells it:
“The reason I made the switch to real estate was due to my entrepreneurial spirit and strong desire to build my schedule as well as impact as many people as possible. I have been on my own and working since I was 13 – cutting lawns, snow shoveling – when my friends were out sledding and having snowball fights. Being an entrepreneur is in my DNA. I have always loved real estate. Ever since I can remember it was a dream of mine to have my own home. Real estate was a natural fit to go after my dream.”
Using innovative marketing and state-of-the-art technology, John creates lead-generating websites for sellers who are looking to put their homes on the market. Working on the guarantee – Your Home Sold in 45 Days or We’ll Sell It for Free – John and his team uses every available resource to create a database of more than 2,000 buyers actively searching for homes in the Greater Philadelphia area.
Staying up-to-date and on the cutting edge of the constantly ever-changing real estate market, John regularly attends conferences and seminars nationwide to refine his unique buyer and seller programs.
His success and growth has not gone unnoticed, as he is regularly invited to speak and share his expertise to other real estate professionals and leadership experts across the country. In September of 2017 John published his third book entitled, Sold! Listing to Closing: The Ultimate Home Sellers Guide. His book has been recognized by the Pennsylvania Association of Realtors by being featured in their monthly blog. The success from his book has created in-demand home buying and home selling seminars that he holds at his office as well as local Libraries.
In John’s free time, he enjoys cross fitting, reading, blogging, traveling and spending time with his daughter, Alexa.

Growing up in a multilingual home in NYC to Chinese and Vietnamese first generation immigrants, I watched my parents work hard to attain the ultimate American dream, owning a home where they would raise their children and have it filled with hopes and and dreams for a better tomorrow.
Watching my parent’s pride the day they closed on their home is forever etched in my memory. Witnessing all their hard work and sacrifice molded and made me the human being I am today. Their tough love and guidance shaped my core and foundation. A foundation built on honesty, respect, integrity, setting high goals and even higher standards, laugh, be kind, and live a full life.
After relocating to Pennsylvania and leaving a successful career in the advertising industry, I found another successful career in Aviation Operations & Management. However, over time I wanted to explore a profession that would bring me back to my foundation. A foundation built on all the core values that were instilled in me by my parents and have never steered me wrong. Working in the aviation industry not only exposed me to a very demanding affluent group of individuals, it also further educated me on paying closer attention to what my clients really wanted and expected but most importantly, what they didn’t want. Their high expectations and demands only drove and encouraged me to further raise my own standards so no matter what their expectations were, they were never disappointed. Discovering the real estate profession is the perfect path that combines my core values and my extensive experience in customer satisfaction. I am inspired on a daily basis to better my own life and of those I come across. My biggest inspiration and motivation is helping as many people find their perfect home and seeing the pride and joy that comes with home ownership, just as I saw with my own parents.
In my spare time I enjoy crossfit, cooking, gardening and simply sitting on my deck with my husband and living our own American dream.

Raving Fan Reviews
John did a fantastic job. I had previously tried to sell the house through another realtor for several months who didn't seem to understand the area as well as the uniqueness of the house. That was not the case with John. He understood how to price and market the house accordingly. I had constant foot traffic while the house was on the market. John sold our home in records time. I would highly, highly recommend him to anyone trying to sell a home in Delaware county! Thanks John!!
by Elizabeth CraftonWe originally listed the house with another agent & she wanted to keep lowering the price but the house never sold. It was listed for several months with this agent from a large franchise. We interviewed & hired John and Dan on the spot. They immediately went to work helping us prepare the home before it hit the market. They helped with painting the basement floor and marketing our house to get it sold fast. John and Wesley exceeded our expectations by selling the house within a week! They handled all of the negotiations through the inspection process and things went smoothly to closing. I felt confident they could deliver on their promises and in their level of expertise. They gave us peace of mind throughout the sale and were always very responsive. I would recommend them without hesitation. Now we can move on with our lives thanks to them.
by Sharon Derby5 Stars all the way! John and Dan went above and beyond. We trusted their advice in preparing the home for sale and they even spent a Saturday morning helping us work on our house. John and Wesley sold our home in 1 week for 99% of asking price after sitting on the market with another realtor for 6 months. How's that for results. We highly recommend these two professionals!
by Tom DerbyJohn took over my listing after a big name realtor company closed their doors in my area just weeks into the process. I called John the same day my previous realtor went AWOL. John was at my home early the next day. We sat down and John assured me he could take care of everything from listing to closing and everything in between. From the moment I met John I knew he was of man of excellence and honor. Traits not usually found in a realtor. His professionalism and knowledge of real estate far exceeded any of his competitors. I left my home in Johns hands and moved out of state. John kept me updated weekly on showings, local price averages in my area and suggestions on how to improve our listing. Before I knew it John had my home sold at a great price. I returned for the closing just so I could thank John in person. John is a person to be trusted with your home. He treats your home as if he was selling his own home. Your Friend Always!
