John L. Wade
Founder & CEO
Developer & Investor
Attorney
At age 16, I bought my first rental property by purchasing a home for $1,500 down and assuming the loan. I sold that home and used the profit to buy apartments. I am now buying commercial properties in Downtown Reno.
Mary Babiasz

Developer & Investor
REALTOR®
I actively participate in all aspects of buying, selling, leasing, property management, development, and construction of homes, multi-family residential, and commercial properties for myself, Gung-Ho, and third parties.
Our Gung-Ho Name Says It All
“Gung-Ho” means enthusiastically “working together” in a successful manner to create something new where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts or, simply stated, “1 + 1 = 3.”
Our Gung-Ho Logo
The two interacting boomerangs in our logo represent the synergy of “working together.”
Our logo is also a loosely shaped “G” for “Gung-Ho,” and a positive upward sloping arrow to indicate successful growth and disrupting the status quo by swimming upstream.
Our Gung-Ho Attitude
Over the years, Gung-Ho has gained a reputation for its positive – one might even say “gung-ho” – attitude about doing whatever it takes to meet its clients’ needs.
