  • I've been a licensed real estate agent since 2018 and have achieved over $50 million in sales. I've maintained Top 5% agent status for seven consecutive years and operate as the principal broker of Kristen Johnson Real Estate under Compass. Before real estate, I worked in supply chain management and as a labor doula, which taught me how to guide people through complex, emotional processes with care and strategy.

  • I serve all of Metro Atlanta, with particular expertise in intown neighborhoods like Edgewood, Kirkwood, East Atlanta Village, Virginia Highland, Old Fourth Ward, Midtown, and Grant Park. I also work extensively in North Fulton suburbs including Alpharetta, Roswell, Milton, and East Cobb, as well as Southwest Atlanta, East Point, Smyrna, Marietta, Stone Mountain, Lithonia, and Fayetteville. I don't cover Gwinnett or Henry counties.

  • You can schedule a consultation by visiting my website at www.kristenjohnsonrealestate.com and using the contact form, or by calling/texting me directly. Initial consultations are designed to understand what you're most excited about, your expectations, any past disappointments with real estate, and your concerns about the process ahead.

  • Look for an agent who knows the specific neighborhoods you're interested in — not just from a database, but from actual experience living in or working those areas. Ask about their sales volume, how long they've been in business, and whether they work full-time. You want someone who will respond quickly, educate you about the process, and advocate for your best interests without pressuring you into a decision. A good agent should make you feel informed and supported, not stressed or rushed.

  • Kristen Johnson Real Estate is built on personalized, client-centered service. I bring a doula mindset to real estate, which means I coach you through the process with care, emotional intelligence, and strategic guidance. I remember your preferences, respond quickly, and tailor my approach to your specific needs — whether you're a first-time buyer, a move-up seller, or a relocation client working with me from out of state. My clients say I make them feel informed, supported, and confident throughout the entire transaction.

  • Kristen Johnson Real Estate has deep expertise across Metro Atlanta's diverse neighborhoods. I grew up in East Point, lived in North Fulton County, and now reside in Edgewood. I've personally experienced both city and suburban living, which allows me to guide clients toward neighborhoods that match their lifestyle — not just their budget. I understand commute realities, school district nuances, walkability, development trends, and the character of each community I serve.

  • Start by asking friends, family, or coworkers for referrals. Look for agents with a track record of sales in your price range and preferred neighborhoods. Check their online reviews and website to see if they provide educational content about the market. A trustworthy agent will ask you thoughtful questions during your first consultation, not just push you toward listings. They should be transparent about market conditions, pricing, and realistic timelines.
