Hunter entered the real estate industry at 18, not to follow in someone’s footsteps, but because he genuinely fell in love with it. A proud University of Washington graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Real Estate and a Professional Sales Certificate from the Foster School of Business, Hunter combines rigorous academic training with the kind of real-world instincts that only come from years of showing homes, writing contracts, and navigating negotiations from the very start of his career.
Licensed at 18. Managing Broker by 22. Committed to this craft from day one.
Now a licensed Managing Broker, Hunter brings a forward-thinking edge to every transaction. His fluency in social media marketing, real-time listing exposure, and digital client service tools means his sellers get maximum visibility in today’s fast-moving market, and his buyers get a partner who moves with the same urgency they do. With five years of showing experience and four years focused on full-cycle marketing, Hunter understands both the emotional and analytical dimensions of a real estate decision.
What makes Hunter’s approach distinct is the combination of fresh perspective and genuine local knowledge. Born and raised in the Seattle area, he knows this region not just as a collection of markets, but as a place people actually live and love. Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing anywhere across the Eastside or greater Seattle, Hunter brings the expertise, the energy, and the personal investment to help you navigate it with confidence.
Hunter also carries meaningful credentials beyond his license. His UW Special Topics course placed him alongside executive-level planners working on the King County Civic Campus under the guidance of Executive Dow Constantine, sharpening his understanding of urban development, market dynamics, and long-term community value.
As the 2025 Chair of the John L. Scott Young Professionals Network and a volunteer at the Ronald McDonald House, Hunter is committed to giving back to the community he’s proud to call home. Together with his mother Kimberly, he brings a partnership that’s rare in real estate: decades of proven expertise alongside the drive and digital savvy of a new generation, all under one roof, and entirely focused on you.
If you're looking for an honest, knowledgeable, and trustworthy real estate professional, I highly recommend Hunter. He helped us purchase our new home after relocating to Seattle from out of state and stayed in touch with us for nearly a year while we explored different neighborhoods. As a Seattle native, his local insight was invaluable. When we found our dream home, Hunter negotiated expertly on our behalf and made the entire process seamless. It was by far the smoothest home purchase we've experienced. Hunter genuinely has his clients' best interests at heart and goes above and beyond to make the experience as stress-free as possible. We couldn't be happier with the outcome. Hunter will be our forever Seattle realtor!
Kimberly and Hunter guided us through the buying and selling process with professionalism and positivity. They are both thoughtful and detail-oriented people, and I would 100% recommend them to any family or friends looking for a realtor in the greater Seattle area.
Superb Professionals Kimberly and her team were superb professionals in the process of selling our house, in managing us, and managing the other agents and buyers. We were very pleased with the amount of showings, and the consistency of the showings. Her team was excellent in getting the buyer feedback to us on a daily basis. They were helpful in guiding us on staging the house, all the time mindful that we were still living there. The marketing materials they produced were accurate, professionally done and showed our home at its best. The daily follow up was a great comfort to us, knowing they had a handle on the sale and any new developments as they happened. During the inspection and closing process, Kimberly and her team were on top of all the issues and very proactive in positioning our responses in order to get the deal closed. I was impressed from my first meeting with Kimberly. She was professional, willing to do whatever was needed, intelligent and honest, educated on the market, realistic, and respectful of our attachment to our home. Her seasoned advice on the market, pricing, competitiveness, and positioning, were insightful and extremely useful. In the end she respected our right to make the final decisions. We gained so much value in this transaction because of Kimberly and her team. We would highly recommend her to all of our family and friends. It was an absolute pleasure to do business with Kimberly and her team. Diane and Jon Schwarz Microsoft
Team Kimberly Rocks!! We have been fortunate to have the Kimberly Johnston Group represent us in recent years, dating back to 2004. In that time period Kimberly has sold two houses and a condominium as our selling agent. Most recently she helped us find our current home as our buying agent. While acting as our selling agent we’ve watched Kimberly’s negotiating skills in action as she’s fielded multiple offers for two of our properties with professionalism and ease. Team Kimberly has always been responsive to our needs during the entire processes, regardless of whether or not we were selling or buying our property. Her teams communication is exceptional as well as the quality of work afforded to us by Kimberly, Candi and Heather. We’ve been satisfied clients four times now and we feel strongly that you won’t be disappointed if you decide to have the Kimberly Johnston Group represent you. Quite simply . . .
