A Little About Me...

 First of all, I'm knowledgeable, energetic and know the metro Richmond Real Estate market.  My objective is to work hard for all my clients, so I can establish a lifetime relationship as their Realtor.  I'm a second generation Realtor.  My father owns and manages the Richmond Coldwell Banker office and I grew up around the business, answering the phones and running errands.  I joined the family business 4 years ago, as a Realtor, and working as a teammate with my dad.  This has provided me the opportunity to learn a lot about financing and problem solving for my clients. 

So there you have it: I grew up in Richmond, went to local schools, received a BA from Hampden-Sydney, then completed a post graduate program at the McEntire Business Institute at the University of Virginia.  After finishing there, I obtained a work visa and moved to New Zealand and got a job working as a second chef in a hotel restaurant.  I came home and worked along side a historical renovation specialist and have since renovated my own 1940's home. 

I have earned the Accredited Buyer's Agent designation, as well as being a Certified Negotiation Specialist designation.  I can put these and other tools to work for you as a buyer.  As a seller this background helps me defend your price positioning and talk with talk with the buyer's agent from their perspective. 

I would like to put my knowledge and Coldwell Banker to work for you.  Call me and you will be glad you did!  804.873.3504 or graham.johnson@coldwellbanker.com

Best Regards,

Graham

Testimonials

Graham did an outstanding job handling the marketing and sale of our home in Central Virginia.  As residents of south Florida, my wife and I were nervouse that it would be difficult to manage selling our home in Virginia, particulary in the current market.  Graham did a great job providing feedback and following up with prospective buyers from day one.  Our home sold because of Graham's creativity and diligence in using all means possible to ensure that our listing stood out in the market.  When we did receive offers and fianlly a signed contract, Graham continuously followed up and ensured that everything went smoothly, including the closing.  Looking back on our experience, Nicole and I are grateful that Graham was able to find a buyer for our property and are convinced we received a premium due to his efforts.  However, the peace of mind that came from knowing we had a professional and competent partner in the process will ensure that we refer all of friends  and family to Graham Johnson at Coldwell Banker Johnson & Thomas in the future.

Graham ,  I just wanted to drop you a note to say " thank you " for your help in securing the house on Park Avenue.  I do think we ended up with a good property at a good price. I was particularly grateful for your help arranging all the inspections and the closing attorney , which , for an "out of town" guy , would have been a chore. Many thanks and look forward to fishing with you in Deltaville.
