What do Clients Say?

When I first moved to Sarasota, I needed a realtor to help me find a home quickly. I had very restrictive criteria and guidelines, but this did not phase Tina Johns. She immediately went into hurricane whirlwind mode and within one week we found the perfect spot that met my needs. We spent several days in a row visiting various homes, and neighborhoods and narrowed down the many to one. Her patience, attention to detail, research skills, experience in residential real estate and knowledge about market prices make her an excellent choice for your realty needs. I highly recommend Tina Johns as your realtor representative! A VERY Satisfied Coldwell Banker Client!

Tina is an outstanding real estate agent. She helped me navigate my first home purchase and I couldn’t be happier with the home I purchased. Tina is extremely knowledgeable, and prompt, and provided a level of service and dedication well beyond my expectations. Her understanding of the local Sarasota market is second to none which was evidenced in every interaction we had from meeting with other agents, inspectors, home insurers, etc. I highly recommend her and have already referred two buyers to her since January.

When we met Tina Johns it was an instant match, from the first home to the many homes we explored. Tina had the ability to understand the wants, needs, and character we were looking for in our first FL home. Every home she had identified was well worth the trip as they were always within our criteria. When we found a home to purchase, her assistance did not stop there. She was with us throughout and even checked in after move-in. The relationship we developed grew to a lasting friendship. She knows SRQ and she knows all the small details that come with all of the tasks to complete a sale. It was an honor to work with her, and we used her again to sell that home and buy our 2nd home in the last couple of years. If you are looking for someone to help you purchase or sell a property in SRQ, Tina Johns is the person for you, as she works tirelessly from the first conversation to well after the purchase is complete. I am proud to have Tina Johns as my friend and my realtor of choice in SRQ!

Our daughter was a student at The Ringling College and needed a home. Tina went out of her way to make sure the job was done and done correctly. We have used her services to both buy and sell our properties.

I have used Tina as a listing agent and a buying agent. Her work ethic and attention to detail are top-notch. I highly recommend her if you are thinking about selling or buying a property.

About Tina

It has been my pleasure to represent both buyers and sellers for the past 17 years, helping guide them through the complexities of real estate.  With the designation of GRI (Graduate Realtor Institute), I have made the commitment to serving my clients with the highest ethical standards. I have developed a solid foundation of knowledge and skills to navigate the current real estate market.

Growing up the middle child in a family of seven kids in a three-bed, one-bath home…who would have thought I would one day be selling homes?  Or perhaps that is why I have a love of real estate.  Trying to find the right fit is what I do.  Buying a home is often the biggest single investment most people will ever make; shouldn’t you work with a professional to help make sure that your new home is the right fit?

I was born and raised in the small town of Coshocton, Ohio where I learned the importance of customer service at an early age.  My family owned a small neighborhood market where I learned that if you treat people right and put their needs first, they will be a customer for life.  That stuck with me to this day and is what I strive for in my real estate career.

After graduating from Bowling Green State University with a Bachelor of Science in Visual Communications Technology, I headed to Chicago where I worked in television production and sales for nearly a decade.  When I married my husband Gary, who worked for a multinational company, the pace of life picked up considerably.  Over the next 30 years, we would live in a dozen homes across the U.S. and The Netherlands.  Living in so many places meant starting over, again and again, developing my people skills to make new friends in each place.  It was in Redondo Beach, CA where I fine-tuned my negotiation and conflict resolution skills when I got involved with our city’s education foundation and became president of our elementary school PTA.

When Gary became self-employed in 2004, we realized we could choose where we would live.  It was on a vacation to Sarasota that we knew we had found the perfect place to raise our two teenage boys.  It was also here that I chose to pursue a career as a Realtor.  I wanted to put all the skills I’ve learned to use by helping people navigate the complexities of buying and selling a home. The job does not stop when we have identified your dream home or get a contract on the home you are selling.  From contract to closing, I will go that extra mile to assure your transaction is as seamless and stress-free as possible.

The past few years have taken some twists and turns, including producing and directing the award-winning documentary, Thriving with Cerebral Palsy and a 2 ½ year trip exploring North America in a motorhome.  The pandemic in the spring of 2020 changed everything, including the way we live, work, and play.  After a bit of a stall, the real estate market caught fire in the spring of 2021 with thousands of people choosing to relocate to Florida where they could enjoy our outdoor lifestyle.

We could not be happier with the choice we made to move to Sarasota.  We like to say we are “Livin’ the Dream!”  When it comes time to choose who will be helping you fulfill your real estate dreams, I hope you choose me.  I would love to call you my Customer for Life
