The founder of Clemente Real Estate Services, John Clemente, grew up in Long Island, N.Y.  After serving overseas in Germany in the US Army, he became a journeyman cabinetmaker in Largo, FL. In 1981, he moved to Colorado Springs with his family, purchased a home and continued his work as a cabinetmaker.

In 1985, John was ready for a new challenge and after attending a real estate investment seminar, he became fascinated with the income potential of real estate. Shortly after, John enrolled in real estate school with the objective of learning as much as possible about investing. He then became a sales agent with a local real estate company. Shortly after entering the business, John was offered an opportunity to become a Realtor and property manager when the company opened a new office in the Broadmoor area. After 6 years, he had become a top agent and property manager within the company. 

Ready for another challenge, in 1991, John learned that RE/MAX, a national real estate company based out of Denver, didn’t have a property management department in Colorado Springs. He joined RE/MAX and developed a property management department. Thirteen years later, after managing hundreds of rental properties, and selling millions of dollars worth of real estate, John decided to it was time to open his own company.

John purchased an office building on the corner of North Academy and North Union Blvd, and opened Clemente Real Estate Services in April of 2004. 

Along the way, John actively invested in single family homes throughout Colorado Springs and in several resort areas out of state. His unique perspective of the real estate business, along with his personal expertise in sales, property management and his original passion, real estate investing, also lead to two of his three children joining him in the business. John has assisted numerous investors in IRS 1031 exchanges and was a founding member of NARPM (National Association of Residential Property Managers) in Colorado Springs at it’s inception in 1992.

In July of 2023, after 38 years in Real Estate, John decided that it was finally time to retire from property management, and passed ownership of Clemente Real Estate Services to his eldest child, his daughter, Melissa Jeffrey. She now proudly carries on her family’s business legacy, building on the skills her father taught her and bringing new perspective to the business.  John now dabbles in occasional sales, spends time with his grandchildren, travels, and keeps a very full calendar.
