John Dejesu at Sotheby’s International Real Estate

John Dejesu began his career at advertising firm Ogilvy & Mather in the account management training program where he learned from David Ogilvy that creativity, brevity, and listening to customers’ needs are the most important qualities when guiding and servicing clients. His passion for New York real estate and his love of New York City are the reasons John chose a profession as a real estate sale

sperson, and he maintains those passions today. John brings a history of high-profile executive experience for companies including The New York Times, American Express, Nielsen, and Conde Nast. He applies the skills he honed as a publisher, in business development and media marketing, to his real estate career. John lives on the Upper East Side of Manhattan with his wife and their daughter and has an extensive knowledge of New York neighborhoods. With a daughter in an independent school, he understands and is responsive to the needs of families who live and work in the city. By applying the same qualities of diligence, dedication, and attention to detail that allowed him to succeed in the world of high-profile media, John has successfully closed sales throughout Manhattan and the boroughs and has earned the satisfaction of his clients who buy and sell New York City real estate.
