John Eckley, MBA, CCIM

Consultative, client-focused and analytical, John is an industrial and commercial advisor for Meybohm Commercial, where his aim is to guide clients in accomplishing their greater collective financial goals, through portfolio planning, deal analysis and excellent client service.

John earned his MBA and civil engineering degrees from Clemson University and is in the final stages of pursuing his CCIM (Certified Commercial Investment Member) designation. It’s a combination of experience held by only John and his team member Jonathan Aceves in the Augusta market. John’s extensive experience and training in solving real-world problems are what direct him in developing client strategies for real estate investments. John’s specialties include industrial warehouse and flex-space properties, land & site selection, and general commercial work. He also partners with clients on their 1031 exchanges and sale-leasebacks and serves the medical community for both investment and office needs. His approach is unique, because it combines his process-oriented, engineering brain with his interest in developing strong relationships with clients. He accomplishes this through a deep conviction that any client’s goal or need is his own, and that ultimately they are to be treated to a level of service that he would want himself or a near family member to experience. “At a high level, I am passionate about helping owners and business leaders accomplish their greater goals through strategic decision making and relish the opportunity to serve them as a valued member of their greater financial team, especially as it relates to real estate.” John was named to the Meybohm Presidents Club 2020, and his team received the 2020 Commercial Elite Agents of the Year – Silver for Meybohm Commercial. In his previous roles, John provided consultation and marketing services to small businesses and managed a team of training experts at Augusta University. John and his family have a particular love for downtown Augusta, having built the first new home in the Olde Town neighborhood in several generations. He and his wife Sarah, three sons, Sanders, Luke and Daniel, and daughter Anna Patten, have made their home in Olde Town for the past nine years.

John is also a member and deacon at First Presbyterian Church in downtown Augusta. He serves as treasurer of the Olde Town Neighborhood Association, is a member of the Heritage Academy Junior Board, and serves on the board of directors for Saving Grace in Uganda, a street children’s ministry in East Africa.
