At Berean Group Ventures, real estate isn’t just business — it’s a mission. We believe smart investing creates freedom for our partners and positive change in communities. Our approach blends deep market analysis, hands-on asset management, and a commitment to doing the right thing.
Founded by John Clayton, a lifelong real estate enthusiast and seasoned investor, Berean Group Ventures brings together a team with decades of combined experience and the best training in the industry. Rooted in values drawn from scripture, we operate with transparency, integrity, and unwavering focus on long-term stewardship. We’re not here for quick wins — we’re here to build lasting legacies.
John Clayton serves as the founder, managing partner, and investor relations director of Berean Group Ventures. With years of hands-on experience, John has led numerous acquisitions and guided every stage from market analysis to value-add strategies and investor communications. His leadership is shaped by the best training in the business and guided by the principles of integrity, stewardship, and service.
John turned his passion for real estate into a mission: to help high-earning investors build lasting wealth through secure, high-performing multifamily assets. Looking ahead, John’s vision is clear — to grow Berean Group Ventures to own over 1,000 apartment buildings within the next ten years, helping more investors achieve true financial freedom while transforming communities for the better.
When he’s not analyzing deals or meeting with investors, John enjoys spending time with his family in Sarasota, staying active, and serving in his community.
