Colleen Johnson credits her continued success as a real estate professional to her team; husband Jeff; builder Louis Colson of Colson Custom Homes and an ever-growing number of clients. (Or were they friends first? Sometimes it’s hard to discern which came first.) Relocation clients are welcomed to the Twin Cities area by their warm, friendly manner.

The secret of their success is basic and old fashioned but always appreciated: Communicate. Each client feels that they are the most important one to Colleen and Jeff. Their calm manner, honed on years of experience, smoothes the way during the stressful times of buying and selling. “I guess selling our own home has reminded me of what my clients go through,” Colleen says. Keeping in touch with empathy may be their trademark, but their success would not have been possible without knowledge of quality construction and finance: Jeff is a graduate of Dunwoody College of Technology and has worked in construction since he was a little tyke, as his grandfather’s “right hand man” and Colleen has a bachelor of science degree in accounting and finance, working in the mortgage banking industry while attending college at Minnesota State University, Mankato.

Quality new construction, especially in the western suburbs, established them as leaders in the Twin Cities real estate market, but their own recreation interests have helped them become qualified representatives for specialty properties—horse acreages—and most recently, resort properties. They have added townhomes, lake homes and cabins at Big Sandy Lodge and Resort, in McGregor, a convenient drive for their Twin Cities clients, to their diverse listings.

Colleen’s quick response time and strong work ethic contributes to her role as a Certified Residential Specialist, an honor bestowed on the top 4 percent of agents in the nation. Starting her 13th year of professional real estate service in the Twin Cities area, her motto can be changed from “A New Brand of Real Estate Service” to “A Proven Brand of Real Estate Service.”
