Your questions, answered.

I have been a licensed real estate agent since 2018, with more than $50 million in career sales and Top 5% agent status for seven consecutive years. I run Kristen Johnson Real Estate as my own brand, with my license held at Compass Metro Atlanta. Before real estate I worked in supply chain management and as a labor doula, which taught me how to guide people through complex, emotional processes with care and strategy.

I serve all of Metro Atlanta and the surrounding suburbs. That includes intown neighborhoods such as Edgewood, Kirkwood, East Lake, East Atlanta Village, Candler Park, Inman Park, Grant Park, Lake Claire, Old Fourth Ward, Midtown and West Midtown, along with Decatur and the City of Decatur, Southwest Atlanta and East Point. On the suburban side I work across Smyrna, Marietta, East Cobb, Mableton, Austell, Douglasville, Lithia Springs, Alpharetta, Milton and Roswell, out to Stone Mountain and Lithonia, into Gwinnett including Buford, Loganville and Lilburn, and south to Henry County and Fayetteville.

Use the contact form on this site, or call or text me directly. A first consultation is built around four things: what you are most excited about, what you expect from an agent and from the process, anything that disappointed you in a past transaction, and what concerns you about what is ahead.

Look for an agent who knows the specific areas you are interested in, not just from a database but from working them. Ask about their sales volume, how long they have been in business, and whether they work full time. You want someone who responds quickly, explains the process, and advocates for you without pressuring you into a decision. A good agent should leave you feeling informed and supported rather than rushed.

I bring a doula mindset to real estate, which means coaching you through the process with care, emotional intelligence and a clear strategy. I remember your preferences, I respond quickly, and I adjust how I work to suit you, whether this is your first purchase or your fifth.

I grew up in East Point, have lived in North Fulton County, and live in Edgewood now. I have experienced both city and suburban living here, so I can help you compare areas against what actually matters to you: commute realities, walkability, development patterns and the character of each community. For schools, taxes and anything else with official criteria, I will point you to the source so you can check it yourself.

Start by asking friends, family or coworkers for referrals. Look for agents with a track record in your price range and preferred areas. Check their reviews and their website to see whether they publish anything genuinely educational about the market. A trustworthy agent asks thoughtful questions in the first conversation rather than pushing you straight at listings.
