Meet John Gilman: A Trusted Local with Decades of Experience

I’ve called Champaign home since 1988, and I wouldn’t trade it for anywhere else. Over the years, I’ve not only built a career here—I’ve built a life, a family, and deep community connections.

For over 30 years, I’ve helped people navigate the real estate and insurance industries, ensuring they make smart, informed decisions. But my passion for helping others goes beyond business—I’ve proudly served on the Montessori School Board of Directors, been an active Kiwanis member, and worked with the American Cancer Society Board to give back to this incredible community.

At home, I’m lucky to share life with my amazing wife, Tina—we’ve been married for nearly 30 years and raised two wonderful daughters right here in Champaign.

Whether it’s securing your dream home, protecting what matters most, or giving back to the place I love, I’m all in. Let’s connect and make great things happen!
