Our Team

Justin C. Johnson, Broker

My career path has evolved naturally from my lifelong inquisitive nature, specifically from my passion for mathematics and problem solving. Throughout my life I have always been a problem solver and love to find the best way to make things work most effectively and efficiently. Originally, my interests led me to California State University at Chico in the direction of computer science. Through my studies there, I honed in on my love for economics - ­past, present, and future and could satisfy my thirst for mathematics as well as economic theory. My passion is seeing people satisfied and happy with the service I deliver. This drives me to focus on formulating the best possible options for our clients, taking into account their short and long-term goals as well as the economic factors that may have an impact on their future.

Personally, I am committed to working out daily. I enjoy CrossFit and working on my 1971 Ford truck as well as music, playing guitar and reading. I am married and have three children.

My experience in the real estate and mortgage industry spans just over 20 years. I have been on each side of the lending desk as an originator of loans, an account executive for national banks and as a consumer. My experience with Wells Fargo, Franklin American Mortgage and now, Mortgage Science, has given me perspective and resources to help clients in any situation. With more than $2 billion in real estate transactions, I am confident I can find specific solutions for my clients.
