"I thought I was prepared to sell & buy a condo boy was I wrong it was a eye opening experience of how everything in real estate world has changed from 20 yrs ago. Our agent Jackie was so patient with us she communicated every step keep us in ' the loop'. She is a fabulous listener even when my emotions were all over the place she listened. Jackie is a amazing & kind person. Jackie also knows the market inside & out. Her experience & connections were helpful as she knew the seller's agent and it helped make it a easy seamless transaction. We absolutely love our new home. Jackie's experience again shined through as she also sold my condo last month & she already a buyer again a easy seamless transaction. I would highly recommend Jackie anyone that works with her will be in good hands as she is strong at negotiating she knows the current market she is a good at communicating with you. Jackie understands it's a emotional time and will make sure you make smart decisions not emotional ones. I can't say enough good things about my experience with Jackie & her team." - Sheila R

"I first trusted Eric Johnson from Mission Realty Advisors almost eleven years ago when he guided me through the purchase of a condo. Now Iām sitting in my dream house in the suburbs. I canāt thank him enough for his patience in answering all my questions and for sharing his strategic vision when touring properties. He is extremely knowledgeable and an excellent negotiator - someone you need by your side with such a tremendous purchase. I enthusiastically recommend him anytime someone is looking for a realtor. Buying or selling a property is scary but not with someone like Eric who takes time to explain everything and prepare the road ahead." - Brookie J

"Iāve worked with Eric Johnson for almost 15 years and heās been an invaluable partner in my real estate investments. He consistently finds high-quality off-market properties that fit my criteriaāoften before anyone else even knows theyāre available. What sets Eric apart is his underwriting and market insight. I can rely on his assessment of future rents, achievable value, and overall deal potential. His numbers are always well thought out, and his understanding of local market dynamics gives me confidence in every purchase. When it comes time to sell, Eric is just as strongāhe moves quickly, markets effectively, and has closed every sale Iāve brought his way. Heās professional, responsive, and seems to have a strong network of repeat buyers. If youāre looking for a broker who truly understands investment real estate and delivers results, I highly recommend Eric Johnson." - Alex Peselman
