Debra and I have worked together for almost 4 years now. She has successfully strategically marketed and sold 3 of my homes and I hope that we continue to do business together. Her industry and market knowledge is excellent and she represents my properties in a professional manner. She has handled negotiations of my properties and guided me smoothly through the process. I would highly recommend Debra if you are a buyer or a seller.

I’ve never met anyone as responsive, strategic, smart, and one step ahead as Debra is. She is unreal. On top of it all, she gets things done quickly and with extreme precision and competence. 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. Seriously, who else could do that? Oh, did I mention she is also a lovely person and funny to boot? There isn’t anything Debra can’t do. She is simply the best.

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.

Debra has been my agent for 4 years and will be for life. She has bought and sold 3 homes for me, all of them very tough cases. She’s the hardest working real estate professional I have EVER met, and is worth every penny of her commission. I have never said that about an agent in my life, but in Debra’s case it’s true.

Debra is a 5 Star agent! This is our 3rd transaction working with Debra over the last 8 years. Each time the experience has been exceptional. In this case, Debra pre-sold the house before it was listed with her social media marketing strategy combined with videography and great photos! We went under contract in 4 days with multiple cash offers. We closed at close to asking price. I would highly recommend Debra for all your real estate needs. She loves what she does and is professional and a pleasure to do business with throughout the process.

Debra Johnston has all of the qualities of a Real Estate Agent we all hope to find. Debra is beyond knowledgeable about the Real Estate Market not only in the Atlanta area but nationwide. At all times my husband and I felt she had only our best interests in mind. While Debra was making the deal happen both expeditiously and without any negative issues, she was in continuous correspondence. Debra Johnston is multitalented and fiercely unstoppable in the negotiation.All of this while being a person you want to be a friend. My husband Patrick and I will tell you that Debra is a person in any situation you would want to be on your team.

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.

Debra is extremely professional, knows the Atlanta market, and works hard to get a house sold. If you have a modern/contemporary home in Atlanta, then I would definitely use Debra to get your house sold. Debra appreciates and loves modern architecture and understands the challenges of trying to price and then sell a modern home in this city.

Debra is a results-oriented real estate agent who is able to use her extensive marketing background to creatively position our properties in a challenging market. Her attention to detail, understanding of architecture and design and strong personal skills resulted in us listing both of our properties with her. We’ve gotten more from Debra in the past few months than any other agent we’ve worked with in the past 15 years. In fact, we wouldn’t consider listing a property with anyone else.

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!

My husband and I met Debra by chance over 6 years ago. We have now used her to sell 2 of our homes and buy 2 more. I honestly could not imagine going through the process without her by my side. Professionally, she goes above and beyond for her clients and is with you every step of the way. I trust her implicitly. Personally, she is just wonderful. She’s down to earth, witty, has great fashion sense ; ) and she’s someone that I would call a friend. I could not recommend her more.

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.

Debra is a highly skilled agent and was a joy to work with. She helped us sell a unique midcentury home to just the right buyers. Debra has expert marketing skills and had a wonderful eye on staging and photographing our home to accentuate its unique architecture and midcentury features. Debra had a arsenal of very skilled tradesmen when needed and was super responsive to any requests. We had some difficult challenges surrounding the home sale and Debra was right in there assisting when needed to help overcome them. We couldn’t have had a better realtor!

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.

I have worked with Debra Johnston for over five years on purchasing two mid-century modern homes. My wife and I trust her judgment completely. She is an expert in the Atlanta real estate market who always picks up the phone, responds to emails/texts immediately and puts her clients first. On the sell side, she put significant work into pricing our property while taking into consideration market demand, which led to a sale during a tough market in 2 weeks! She is working with us now on selling our second property. On the buy side, she negotiated great deals on two properties at purchase prices that were well below appraised value. Debra is a full-service agent in that her work doesn’t stop once the contract is signed – she will arrange a range of value-added services for you to make sure your new house is your dream house. Don’t be surprised when she checks in with you frequently after your purchase to make sure you are happy.

Uber agent, best in Atlanta. She helped us find a home, negotiated a contract and lined up numerous service providers to complete the renovation. Then she marketed and sold our existing home in record time.
