John Ince has been a Realtor in Charlottesville, Virginia since 1983 after a ten year career training and showing Arabian horses throughout the United States, John came to Charlottesville as Manager/Trainer for Akid Arabian Stud, a premier Egyptian Arabian horse farm in western Albemarle County in 1982. It wasn't long before he knew this would be his home for life. A wise decision was made as he moved his equine interests to hobby status and embarked on a life-long career in farm and estate brokerage in and around Charlottesville. After 15 years with Charlottesville's oldest and largest real estate company, John established Charlottesville Country Properties Ltd. in 1998 to provide clients with the high level of service and expertise only found in a small personalized company.

In 2018 Charlottesville Country Properties, Ltd. joined Wiley Real Estate, one of the area’s most respected farm and estate firms with offices in Charlottesville and Orange. Wiley Real Estate is where handshakes, and phone calls meet minute by minute market updates and intuitive search engines providing boots on the ground service to sophisticated clientele.

John is active in the Charlottesville Area Association of Realtors, serving six years on the board of directors and as the 2014 President and as a member of the Professional Standards Committee. John also serves as the 2018 Chair of the Free Enterprise Forum and as a volunteer of Stream Watch, a local non-profit responsible for monitoring the water quality in the Rivanna River watershed. John and his partner Gabriela live on a small horse farm in Somerset with horses, dogs, chickens and cats. John’s hobbies are mostly outdoor activities including fly fishing, hiking, riding and scuba diving.
