For more than three decades, Kimberly Johnston has been one of the most trusted names in Seattle-area real estate, and the numbers reflect it. A John L. Scott broker since 1995 and a licensed professional since 1990, Kimberly has consistently ranked in the top 1% of John L. Scott’s 3,300 brokers nationwide, with a career sales volume surpassing $900 million and a pace that averages a closed transaction every ten days.
40+ years serving Seattle and the Eastside, and still counting.
Kimberly’s expertise runs deep across Seattle, Bellevue, Mercer Island, Newcastle, and Issaquah, with clients spanning all three of Washington’s largest counties. Whether representing a first-time buyer or guiding the sale of a multi-million dollar estate, her approach never changes: 100% devotion to the client’s goals, delivered with integrity, warmth, and an unwavering eye for detail.
Sellers trust Kimberly for her strategic pricing instincts and her innovative marketing toolkit, which includes professional photography, 3D imaging, and custom-designed marketing materials. She prepares every listing to make a commanding first impression, drawing on a carefully cultivated network of trusted vendors, stagers, and specialists to ensure each home is presented at its absolute best. Her Certified Relocation Specialist designation adds further depth for clients moving to or from the Pacific Northwest, with Kimberly personally guiding them through neighborhood nuances, school programs, and lifestyle considerations unique to the region.
When it comes to negotiation, Kimberly’s skill is simply unmatched. With 40 years of complex transactions behind her, she navigates high-stakes deals with a calm, strategic hand, always fighting for the best possible outcome for her clients. It is this reputation for results, paired with the relationships she builds along the way, that keeps clients returning year after year and referring her to the people they love most. Many describe her not just as their broker, but as a trusted friend.
A true Pacific Northwest native, Kimberly has deep roots in this community and gives back with the same commitment she brings to her clients. She is an active supporter of the John L. Scott Foundation and Seattle Children’s Healthcare, and for over 15 years she and her son Hunter have served together every year at the One Big Kiss Radiothon at Children’s Hospital; a tradition that speaks to who she is both on and off the clock.
