About  ·  The JGM Story

An actor, a director, a realtor.

Twenty-five years in media arts before the first sign went in the ground. The craft never changed — only the canvas. Now every home is a short film, and every client gets the director’s treatment.

Meet John

Innovative. Creative. Dedicated.

I didn’t come to real estate by the usual road. Most of my career was spent on sets — in New York and Los Angeles, on soundstages and location shoots, behind the lens and occasionally in front of it. I learned early that every story needs a frame, a tempo, and a reason to care.

Real estate, when done right, is exactly the same craft. Buyers don’t just want a floor plan — they want to feel a Sunday morning in the kitchen, a summer evening on the back porch, a life they haven’t yet lived. My job is to help them see it.

The Full Story

Tulsa. Nashville. New York.
Malibu. Home.

Born in Tulsa. Raised in Okemah — a small town with a big Oklahoma heart. I graduated Oklahoma Baptist University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, then headed to Nashville to study Music Business at Belmont. That was when I discovered I loved the machinery behind the performance as much as the performance itself.

New York came next. I studied on-camera acting, joined the Screen Actors Guild, and started booking work. I still remember the first time I saw my name in the credits — Robert Redford’s Quiz Show. A small part, but a very large sense that I’d chosen the right life. National commercials followed. Stage work in the original workshop of Footloose — The Musical. Scenes alongside actors like James Franco at Jeff Goldblum’s Playhouse West in Los Angeles.

"Every property has a lead character. You have to find it before the camera does."

Then life, as it does, changed direction. My wife and I spent a chapter in Malibu with our daughter, and we welcomed our son into the family through adoption. The California chapter was beautiful. But we’re Oklahomans at heart, and Tulsa kept calling us home. So we came home.

The Bridge

When I transitioned into real estate full time, I didn’t leave the camera behind — I brought it with me. Twenty-five years of production experience doesn’t disappear just because the subject matter changed. If anything, real estate gave those skills a new and better home.

I joined Chinowth & Cohen Realtors — Oklahoma’s largest independent brokerage, with 700+ agents and 15 offices statewide — because their commitment to storytelling matched my own. From the Bixby office, I now produce custom marketing videos for each of my listings. Not slideshows. Not drone-flyovers set to stock music. Proper, hosted, mini-HGTV episodes that tell a property’s unique story.

What I Believe

I believe in honest, communicative representation. I believe a home is never just a transaction — it’s a chapter. I believe the agent who listens twice and speaks once is always the better agent. I believe Oklahoma has some of the most extraordinary homes in the country, and they deserve marketing that matches.

Whether you’re buying your first home, selling a property that deserves more attention than it’s getting, looking for land, or exploring the luxury segment — I’d be honored to have the conversation.
