In Memory of John Swisher III

John Swisher III

1943 – 2023

It is with great sadness that Swisher Commercial announces the passing of John Swisher III, co-founder of Swisher Realty Co with his father, John Swisher Junior, in 1968. While John III retired from Swisher Commercial in 2007, his 40-year legacy in the commercial real estate industry endures as he was a model to us all as a leader, real estate broker, business owner and friend. John created an atmosphere of professionalism and family that continues today and is reflected in the very culture, mission, and practice of Swisher Commercial.

Visitation will be Thursday, December 14, from 3-8 pm at Nie Funeral Home, 3767 Liberty Road, Ann Arbor MI, 48103.

Remembering John Swisher III

"I learned from my father that your reputation and relationships mean everything. If we prioritized honesty and diligence in working for our clients’ success, word would spread that we were not only specialists in commercial property but a business partner who could be trusted to do the job right and always in an honorable way. We understood early on, that to be recognized experts in the local and national commercial real estate arena, we needed to grow the company by adding the most qualified brokerage, investment and management specialists. We did that and those individuals are at the heart of the success that Swisher Commercial has attained. That was the philosophy then and remains true for Swisher Commercial today." -John Swisher III

As Swisher Commercial celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2018, we knew it was important that John contribute to our celebration and he did so in the form of a letter to share with the community. His words have, do and will continue to ring true as Swisher Commercial continues to succeed in practice appreciating that John set a high standard for excellence in the commercial real estate industry and in life. We honor him by once again sharing his words.
