Sheila Johnson

Sheila has the gift of quickly connecting with people and prides herself on listening intently to her clients. Understanding that buying and selling a home is a deeply personal endeavor, Sheila truly partners with her clients to help them achieve their real estate objectives. With the goal of making each client feel as if they are her only, Sheila’s clients appreciate her responsiveness, honesty and attention to detail. They are grateful for her ability to deliver results while offering an enjoyable, positive experience.

Born and raised in Oakland, Sheila has spent the greater part of her life in Montclair, and now enjoys living with her family—her husband and their two very busy teenagers—just minutes from Montclair Village. She has long-term and firsthand knowledge of the community, the ebb and flow of its daily life, and what it offers people fortunate to live here. This is a great advantage to her clients, who look to her to be their area expert, offering much more than just trends in the marketplace.

Sheila has the skills and experience to expertly guide her clients with professionalism and integrity. She stays informed of the current market conditions so she can help her clients make sound decisions with confidence. Negotiating to achieve maximum results comes naturally. Navigating the buying and selling process often involves moments of uncertainty or anxiety, and sometimes even unexpected circumstances, yet Sheila can work through challenges calmly and adeptly. She is always fully engaged and maintains regular communication each step of the way. Sheila’s clients become friends, and the relationship continues well past the final walk through and closing.

In Sheila’s spare time, you can find her running in the neighborhood, attending her kids’ sporting events, walking Lucy (her Labradoodle), experimenting with a new recipe, volunteering in the community or reading a good book.

What her clients say….

“I feel extremely fortunate to have found Sheila. I worked with her on both the sale of my home and the purchase of a new one, and I could not recommend her more highly. Not only is she knowledgeable, professional, resourceful and dedicated to meeting her clients' needs, but is also a truly enjoyable person to work with. I felt like I had a friend and advocate accompanying me through each step of an otherwise overwhelming process.”

“Sheila is professional, knowledgeable about the ins and outs of residential real estate transactions in Oakland, patient, low-pressure, detail-oriented, and an excellent negotiator.”

“Sheila Johnson is so good at her job! She is a true professional who truly cares about her clients and will go the extra 10 miles to make sure the job is done perfectly! When my husband and I decided to buy a house and sell our house all within 7 weeks, Sheila was able to walk us through every step of the process. She is meticulous about disclosures and very knowledgeable about the market in the East Bay. She is also able to put everything in perspective when the situation is stressful. We can't thank Sheila enough for helping us get top dollar for our home.”

“You need someone whom you trust implicitly. Sheila never dropped the ball on any detail, no matter how minute, so we never had any extra worry about crossed t's or dotted i's. But she also just has great judgment, great taste, gives great advice, and is very intuitive to what you want and need. We valued her opinion and counsel above all else. We ended up in a house we love. She is our agent for life.”
