She’s accommodating and knows her stuff. I was very lucky to have found her as she made it easy when in fact, it was a difficult process. Oh and she even managed to find a way to bring me into a home that wasn’t for sale but in short order, she contacted the homeowners and convinced them to consider selling and allow me to see their residence.

We are very fortunate that we met and are working with Debra to sell our home. She’s the most perceptive, knowledgeable, and professional Realtor© we have met in many years. My wife is a top producer luxury Real Estate Realtor© in South Florida, and throughout her more than thirty years career, even her is impressed with Debra’s skills in marketing, selling and networking. Debra has an extensive clientele network which includes successful entrepreneurs, top executives and celebrities. However, she is a very personable person. She listens carefully to your needs and, after making a very thorough evaluation of your property and market conditions, Debra gives you rational recommendations to better market and sell your property. Debra uses the most comprehensive and recent marketing techniques to market your home. In our case, she brought an outstanding photographer, who took his time to take the most amazing photos. She also had an impressive tour of the house created using Matterport technology, enabling prospective buyers to see and “walk” our home in three dimensions, providing an immersive experience that is not possible with photos or regular video tours. Debra’s social media presence is unparalleled. She has over ten thousand followers on Instagram, her YouTube channel videos are watched by thousands, and her luxury listings are shown on all major networks, as well as in Reuters, USA Today, Yahoo Finance, and a variety of prestigious magazines. Debra projects confidence and delivers results. We recommend it wholeheartedly.

A real estate salesperson’s worst nightmare could be representing the home of someone who has been successful in ONE sales arena … and thinks that THAT experience translates into residential real estate sales. Most agents in this spot might find this kind of customer confronting, unknowingly defending their knowledge base just to justify their role.
Not Debra. From our first meeting, Debra embraced my opinions and observations about the market in a genuine and non-placating manner. Rather than resist my input – she leveraged it, wrapping it with her own extraordinary skill set as she created excitement while also directing me to get the house in shape to sell. She was professional, precise and strategic; and in kind, raked in three contracts and a sale that was 2% shy of asking price, in under 3 weeks.
As easily as she read my “hands on” nature, her ability to read people and then tailor her actions to best suit that individual is, both, impressive and efficient. She is an extraordinary Real Estate Professional for anyone regardless of how involved they want to be, and I count our working relationship as one of the most delightful of my sales career. If selling your home, strongly consider a working relationship with Debra. You will not be disappointed!!

I have known Debra Johnston for many years. I’ve have had the extreme pleasure of watching her rocket to super-stardom in the luxury real estate field and just about everything else she sets her mind to.
Debra demonstrated a keen business acumen when she reported to me years ago at Coca-Cola and in the time since then, she has continued to sharpen her incredible business sense even more. When you combine her business acumen with a high degree of integrity, honesty, and confidentiality; it’s no wonder Debra is one of Atlanta’s top realtors.
She brings a passion for architecture and design to every buyer and seller she comes into contact with. Debra’s got a golden touch when it comes to real estate and design – and an energetic and dynamic personality to match! It’s an honor to recommend Debra.

We worked with Debra as our sellers agent. She has always had a great reputation in the Buckhead, Atlanta luxury real estate market. She was always responsive and professional in our encounters with her. She went above and beyond to ensure that the property was staged and photographed to best showcase its strengths. We had our first showing within a few days of listing, and within the contracted time with her, we had another offer aside from the offer we closed on. When problems arose, as they inevitably would in any sale or purchase, Debra always contacted us immediately, calmly, and with a strategy to handle it. She will listen to all your questions and concerns and we trusted her and her expertise and in the end our property was SOLD! Success!

Debra track record speaks for itself! I personally wouldn’t work with anyone else in Atlanta’s luxury market. Her knowledge, professionalism, creativity, negotiating skills, contacts, and experience are superior to anyone I know in Atlanta. Debra’s prior business success has afforded her extensive resources that she carries forward in her real estate career. That, coupled with years of owning the position of “highest dollar sales in Buckhead”, will keep me as a client of hers. I’m especially happy with her marketing resources – most agents don’t get the importance of this when buying and selling luxury properties.

We feel so very LUCKY to have Debra as our realtor during our relocation. Relocating is always stressful, but Debra put us at ease in finding the perfect home for us. Before we flew to Atlanta, she got to know us; then she began her diligent daily search for our home. When we arrived in Atlanta, I felt even more comfortable after meeting her. Debra listened to our needs and over-exceeded our expectations, which made the home search less overwhelming. Her knowledge of the Atlanta area and prompt responses to all our emails and phone calls, made us feel like we were her only clients. It was Debra’s interpersonal and negotiation skills that won the sellers over, who accepted our offer instead of a cash offer. Thank you Debra whom we our proud and honored to call our friend. If you are relocating to Atlanta and want an amazing realtor, you need to meet Debra!!!

My husband and I had terrible experiences with several realtors, all of whom seemed to be chasing huge commissions for little to no work. We remained steadfast in this belief until we met Debra. We were touring a listing, where Debra was the listing agent, and decided to put in an offer. Because of the issues we’d had, we were unrepresented. She offered to represent us in the deal, normally not the smartest move for a buyer, but she really looked out for our interests. Debra was honest and open, met every single inspector and contractor, and was always available to answer questions. That deal eventually fell through, but we were so impressed with her dedication that we asked her to be our agent. After showing us a hundred houses and always staying patient with a demanding client (us), we found a lovey home and couldn’t be happier. We could NOT recommend Debra more. She’s by far the best agent in Atlanta.
