John Sica, a commercial realtor since 1999, became a Vice President after joining Newmark Associates’ Sales Associate team in 2024, bringing a well-rounded professional background that includes academia, science, and industry experience prior to real estate.

John has built strong, lasting relationships with clients across a range of industries, with particular expertise in the hospitality sector — hotels, motels, resorts and restaurants/taverns — alongside convenience stores, multi-family sales, retail stores and warehouses. His hospitality work includes confidential and off-market investment sales, Broker Opinions of Value, and marketing strategies tailored to hospitality and food-service properties. Clients appreciate and rely upon his capacity to respond quickly in researching properties, provide timely updates and fulfilling his professional motto to “go the extra mile to successfully attain client goals and expectations.”

Born and raised in Somerset County in South Bound Brook, John is serving all counties and markets in NJ, particularly farming buyer/seller agency and landlord/tenant representation in Somerset and Middlesex Counties, while developing a heavy presence in Ocean and Monmouth Counties where he resides — a market where his hospitality expertise has become especially well established.

John holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Rutgers University, another degree in Computer Technology from Chubb Institute, and attended Elijah’s Promise Culinary School, giving him a working understanding of restaurant operations that complement his hospitality practice. He enjoys traditional archery, camping, hiking and he supports charities such as the ASPCA and Covenant House.
