Real Estate. Rooted in Trust.
Raised on hometown values — respect, authenticity, and integrity.
At Palomino, we treat every client like a neighbor and every property like it’s our own.
ABOUT PALOMINO
Rooted in Values, Grown by Demand
John Ravenscraft built his reputation in Hannibal and the Mark Twain Lake region by doing business the right way — respectfully, authentically, and always with integrity. The Mark Twain Lake recreational area attracted many clients from St. Louis looking for a retreat, and through those transactions John built lasting relationships across the region.
Palomino Real Estate Group was born out of those relationships. It’s an extension of John’s philosophy: treat every client like a neighbor, every transaction with honesty, and every property with care. The result is simple — real estate done right, in both Hannibal and St. Louis.
Leaving Things Better Than We Found Them
For us, real estate is about more than buying and selling houses. It’s about respect, trust, and
stewardship. Whether it’s a property, a client, or a community, our goal is always the same:
leave it stronger than when we arrived.
Our Core Values:
- Respect – Every client, every home, every community deserves it.
- Authenticity – We don’t pretend to be something we’re not.
- Integrity – Doing the right thing, even when nobody’s watching.
- Trustworthiness – Clients know we’ll follow through on our word.
- Stewardship – Leave every property, relationship, and community better than we found it.

Our Approach: Kitchen Table Conversations
Slow It Down. Do It Right.
Before we talk contracts, listings, or showings, we start where it matters most — with a conversation.
At Palomino, we call them Kitchen Table Conversations. Just like neighbors sitting down over
coffee, we take time to ask the right questions:
- Where do you want to go?
- What’s your goal here?
- What’s motivating your move?
- What’s your budget and comfort zone?
From there, we build a thoughtful plan. Maybe that means connecting you with a trusted
lender, insurance agent, title company, or attorney. Maybe it means slowing down to prepare
your property the right way before rushing to market.
We don’t do quick listings or hasty showings. That’s not our style. We’d rather get to know you,
understand your needs, and walk the journey with you from start to finish.
Because at the end of the day, real estate isn’t just about houses. It’s about people, conversations, and trust — the kind you build around a kitchen table.
WHY PALOMINO
In today’s world, it’s hard to know who to trust. Online, people hide behind polished profiles and marketing buzzwords, but you never really know who’s on the other side. That’s not us.
Palomino Real Estate Group was built on something real — hometown values. Respect, authenticity, and integrity aren’t just words to us; they’re how we were raised, and how we do business.
We believe real estate should feel like a handshake, not a sales pitch. We believe in being the kind of Realtor who listens, who cares, and who treats clients like neighbors. Because at the end of the day, people don’t just want a transaction — they want someone grounded in trust, who truly gets it.
Testimonials
I had a property that was overgrown and a complete mess. I knew it needed to be cleaned up
to sell, but I was dead broke and couldn’t afford to hire anyone. John stepped in and personally
cleaned it up himself. He positioned it so it had a real chance to sell for a better price. That’s
what he does — he goes above and beyond when you need it most.
Happy Seller
Rose did an outstanding job assisting with selling our property. We sent inquiries to three realtors, she was the first to respond. She provided an estimated range for the value, then personally inspected it within a couple of days. She took photos and immediately listed it. We received offers the very first day it was published on the MLS. Within days the property was sold! Rose is easily reachable and very responsive to communication. She attentively worked with us through the entire process and was present at closure. We couldn't be more pleased. We highly recommend her when you are buying or selling real estate.
