Our instructors

John FitzGerald stands out in the real estate industry as a true leader that brings value to agents in the North Carolina market that few can match. Having lived in the Piedmont region since 1969, his knowledge of the local market is vast, but it’s his love of molding Realtors into top producers that set him apart from the crowd.

As a practicing BIC, John honed unique skills for identifying strengths and talents within his agents that allowed many to achieve a level of success they never imagined possible. His varied experience in the food service industry, new construction, general brokerage, sales management, and leadership roles in real estate lent to his ability to relate with all personality types at a high level and advise agents in diverse matters they may encounter while growing their businesses.

His background in management and leadership, coupled with inspiration from his grandmother, a lifelong Gaston County educator, led John into his current role as a North Carolina Real Estate Commission Licensed Instructor. His passion to help others is evident in his interactions with all agents, whether newly licensed or industry veterans, in the classroom and beyond. Learning the Superior way is John’s commitment.

Certified in SUCCESS® Coaching™, Napoleon Hill, Brian Buffini, and Ninja Coaching curricula, his approach to agent education is all-encompassing. Becoming an Instructor with Superior School of Real Estate was born of John’s desire to give back to the industry and its hard-working agents, allowing him the opportunity to share wisdom gained from over 20 years of experience in real estate with his students and impact their success in business and life.

When he is not teaching, mentoring, and coaching, John enjoys reading, cooking, playing golf, and spending time with his wife and their four-legged family.
