John Dugan

A native New Yorker, John Dugan is the co-leader of The Skyline Advisory Team alongside Mick DiStasio, where he brings a rare blend of discipline, precision, and creativity to New York City real estate. Since launching his career in 2015, John and his team have guided clients through more than $400 million in sales and millions more in rental transactions, earning recognition as one of the city’s most trusted and accomplished brokers.

John’s path to real estate is anything but ordinary. Before becoming a top producer, he served as an Infantry Combat Team Leader in the United States Marine Corps, leading missions overseas with unwavering loyalty, grit, and determination. After his military service, John transitioned into Manhattan’s fine-dining scene, where he rose to Chef de Cuisine in Michelin-starred restaurants. Both experiences—leading Marines in high-stakes environments and orchestrating precision in world-class kitchens—sharpened the skills that now define his work in real estate: relentless work ethic, calm under pressure, and an ability to deliver exceptional results under any circumstances.
