About Kara

Kara Johnston brings a rare level of strategy, expertise, and elevated service to Denver real estate. An East Coast native who’s called Colorado home for nearly a decade, Kara knows first-hand what it’s like to relocate to the Mile High City and explore its vibrant neighborhoods to find the place that truly feels like home.

With over 20 years advising clients and negotiating complex transactions on Wall Street as a Managing Director at Goldman Sachs, Kara built a reputation for intelligent problem-solving, fierce client advocacy, and delivering results. Today, she brings that same business acumen, attention to detail, and competitive edge to real estate. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, seasoned investor, or a seller looking to maximize your return, Kara guides clients through one of life’s most meaningful investments—with confidence and ease.

Known for her calm under pressure, sharp negotiating skills, meticulous attention to detail, and relentless dedication, Kara approaches every transaction with the same commitment and care. Clients trust her for her creative solutions, straightforward communication, and ability to simplify even the most complex deals. To Kara, real estate is never just a transaction—it’s about understanding your vision, protecting your investment, and helping you build the life you want, one exceptional home at a time. Her philosophy is rooted in authenticity, excellence, and unwavering client focus—because success, to Kara, is always defined by your success.

 

Outside of real estate, Kara is a proud mom of two older children and stays active in the beautiful outdoors of Colorado—hiking, camping, and skiing—as well as discovering new restaurants, attending concerts, and cheering on Denver’s sports teams. She’s also an engaged board member to various businesses and is very passionate about mentoring women starting their career in the financial sector.
