A little bit about me...
Meet John Phander, your trusted local real estate agent in Toms River & Bayville, NJ. Teacher, coach, and community volunteer helping families find home.
For John Phander, real estate isn't just about property it's about the people, families, and neighborhoods that make Ocean County such an incredible place to live.
As a dedicated 3rd-grade teacher in South Toms River, John has spent years guiding, educating, and supporting local families. That same passion for service, clear communication, and patience translates directly into his real estate career. He doesn't just sell homes; he educates his clients so they can make confident, smart financial decisions.
John lives right here in Toms River and operates out of our Bayville, NJ office. He forms a local real estate powerhouse alongside his wife, a highly respected Broker-Salesperson with over 8 years of full-time market expertise. When you work with John, you don't just get a dedicated agent; you get the backing, strategy, and negotiation power of an elite local team.
Whether I am in the classroom, on the field, or at the closing table, my goal is always the same: to lift up the people in my community.
Community & Lifestyle Text: When John isn't helping clients or in the classroom, you can almost always find him giving back to the community he loves. He is a proud volunteer coach for the local girls' softball league and dedicates his time to the Toms River Field of Dreams, a specialized complex helping local children with disabilities.
A true Jersey Shore native, John loves spending quality time with his family, heading to the beach, casting a line while fishing, or diving into a galaxy far, far away as an avid Star Wars fan.
