About Kermit Johnson

Kermit’s vision for the Team Johnson team has always been to provide client-centered, boutique, informed and educated real estate services for buyers and sellers. Although he has hung up his real estate license, Kermit focuses on keeping the new Team on track, mentoring the real estate agents in ways to continue to meet the specific needs of each buyer and seller to provide a positive, timely Real Estate experience.

Kermit moved to Lincoln City in 1984 and has extensive knowledge of housing, construction and the Oregon Coast that informs his strategies and helps the Team to better understand the unique challenges that Coastal environments create on buildings, flood plains and other hazards that require attention at the Coast. Kermit's years of hands-on familiarity with the properties in the area is of great benefit to the Team when individual properties are being researched.

The deep belief that communication is the key to a positive transaction is a thread that directs the Team’s daily activities. Kermit’s definition of success is that the Team meets the goals of the client. He stresses that each client is unique, with an individual set of expectations and requirements. Under Kermit’s mentorship, the Team acts within the mission statement that “once the client defines their goals, our Team of REALTORS® must make those goals their own”.

The client sets the pace and the intensity of the experience. The Team is reminded that although they are eager to represent each client's interests, they are to remember their position is not to convince any buyer or seller of anything, nor to 'sell' anyone on any property. Kermit believes that the process of buying and selling is a Team effort, with the client in the lead. 

He deeply feels that it is the Team’s job to make sure that the client is acquiring their dream property. The Team is not to choose for them.

When not mentoring the Team, Kermit manages the family farm.
