Communities
Clayton & the Central Corridor
Clayton is our hub — a thriving, walkable community with top schools, fine dining, and a strong business district. From here, we serve the Central Corridor and surrounding areas where clients value both convenience and character.
Surrounding St. Louis Communities
From Ladue and Frontenac to Town & Country and beyond, we work with families and professionals looking for homes that fit their lifestyle — whether that means historic neighborhoods, quiet suburbs, or modern builds.
Hannibal & Mark Twain Lake
Our roots remain strong in Hannibal, where hometown values guide every handshake. And at Mark Twain Lake, we continue to connect St. Louis families with second homes and recreational properties that have become cherished retreats.
Meet the Palomino Team
Every Palomino agent is hand-picked for their integrity, authenticity, and commitment to leaving things better than they found them.
At Palomino, you’ll always know exactly who you’re working with. Each member of our team has been chosen with care, not just for their skill, but for their character.
John Ravenscraft – Broker & Founder
John began his real estate career in 2003, earned his broker’s license in 2008, and founded Ravenscraft Realty in 2015. Rooted in Hannibal and the Mark Twain Lake region, John built his reputation on respect, authenticity, and integrity. Over time, many St. Louis clients encouraged him to bring that same philosophy to the city, and Palomino Real Estate Group was born.
He believes in slowing the process down, starting with honest “kitchen table conversations,” and leaving every client, property, and community better than he found it.

Do You Belong at Palomino?
Not everyone does. At Palomino, we don’t measure fit by licenses or numbers alone. We choose people who live by our values: respect, authenticity, and integrity. Every agent on our team is carefully selected, because representing Palomino means representing something
bigger than yourself.
If that sounds like you, let’s start with a conversation.
Who We’re Looking For:
- Agents who value integrity over shortcuts
- Professionals who build their business through relationships, not gimmicks
- Colleagues who put service before payday, knowing rewards follow naturally
- People who believe in slowing down, listening first, and starting with real conversations
