"We worked with Kara Johnston for nearly nine months - from August 2025 until we closed on our home at the end of April 2026 - and we can't recommend her highly enough. What stood out from day one was how genuinely attentive Kara was. She was responsive at all hours, whether we were sending listings late at night or asking last-minute questions on a weekend. Every interaction felt like she was looking out for us, not just trying to close a deal. She consistently presented us with thoughtful options and refined what she sent based on our feedback, so the search felt collaborative rather than transactional. She also took us out to dinner more than once along the way, which says a lot about how she invests in her clients beyond the paperwork. The best example of her value came with the house we ultimately bought. It was about to hit the market and would almost certainly have drawn significant attention and competing offers. Kara arranged for us to tour it before it was listed, and after a second visit confirmed we loved it, she structured a competitive off-market offer with built-in room to negotiate - and a deadline that pushed the sellers to respond before the listing went public. The result: we got the house, off-market, for $25,000 below the planned list price. That kind of strategic thinking and timing is rare. If you're looking for an agent who is responsive, thoughtful, genuinely on your side, and able to navigate creative deal structures when the moment calls for it, Kara is the one to call."
