John Plank
Broker in Charge
VIEW FULL BIO
As the Broker In Charge for The Divine Group’s Real Estate Division, John’s leadership and experienced background supports a consistent, well rounded, and professional approach to all situations within the ever-changing development industry. John has over a decade of hands on experience, and is a third-generation real estate professional.
John spent 6 years from 2004 to 2010 serving active duty in the United States Airforce as a Staff Sergeant with the 96th Security Forces Squadron. In this time, he completed three deployments (totaling 18 months overseas) in direct support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. During his time in the Military, John also completed his Associates Degree in the Applied Science of Criminal Justice.
In his post-military career, John got back into the family business, and started to invest in, and redevelop real estate independently. He also shifted his focus to civilian public service and became a full time Firefighter/EMT for the City. While simultaneously working towards his undergraduate degree, John was also part of the State’s Emergency Response Team where he was a Rescue/Recovery Diver and Swift Water Rescue Technician. He was heavily involved with hurricane/flood deployments for post disaster rescue efforts alongside FEMA. After graduating with a Bachelors of Science in Business Administration and Finance, John felt it was time to leave public service behind, and continue the tradition in real estate full time. John became licensed and was recruited by a national commercial firm, where, after five years of proven sales and leadership, he was promoted to Senior Advisor. His natural gravitation towards development inevitably crossed paths with The Divine Group, where he was brought on board the team to head up their Real Estate Division.
