A Savannah native with deep family ties to the city, John Blanton brings a heartfelt, client-centered approach to real estate. After spending seven years in Chicago, John recently returned home to the Hostess City, where his love for Savannah was first instilled by his grandfather, John Rousakis—Savannah’s first Greek mayor who served the city for over 20 years. John's pride in his Greek heritage and his strong sense of community are the cornerstones of his personal and professional life.
Real estate runs in John’s blood. With a mother and sister in real estate and a father who built custom homes, it was only natural that John would follow in their footsteps. After all, John has been helping his mom show houses since he was a kid! After earning a Finance degree from the University of Mississippi and building a successful career in corporate risk management, John is now combining his financial expertise, analytical mindset, and passion for helping others to guide clients through the home buying and selling process with confidence and clarity.
John believes real estate is more than just transactions—it’s about people, relationships, and finding a true sense of home. Known for his genuine care and thoughtful communication, he always puts his clients’ needs first and works tirelessly to deliver results that feel right for each individual or family.
John lives on Savannah’s Southside with his husband Bobby, a Gulfstream Aerospace employee, and their two beloved dachshunds Gus and Roscoe. In 2025, they are excited to begin growing their family through adoption. When he’s not working John enjoys local dining, entertaining friends, gardening, and soaking in the beauty and charm that Savannah offers.
John is proud to represent the city that shaped him—and he looks forward to sharing the same love, hospitality, and sense of belonging that Savannah has always given him.
