JOHNSTON & DANIEL INTRODUCED LUXURY SERVICE TO THE MARKETPLACE IN 1950, AND WE'VE BEEN REFINING AND ADVANCING IT EVER SINCE.

Luxury. An experience, not a price point.

Who counts on J&D? We set out in 1950 to work with clients who understand and inhabit luxury – in all its manifestations. Those whose real estate interests might span urban, rural, lakeside, mountainside to offshore. Those in the creative and athletic arts, finance and entrepreneurial to C-suite superstars. What they all have in common is a lifestyle characterized by hard work, hard play and no room for second-best. 

Why J&D was formed. Ours was an industry ripe for elevation. We began by putting ourselves in our clients’ shoes and asking what needed changing. We decided that rather than run on the “always be closing” ethic used by competitors, we’d instead “always be anticipating.” If we didn’t listen, we’d never learn. If we didn’t ask, we couldn’t understand. If we failed to make the experience all about our clients, we’d failed them.

Guesswork simply doesn’t enter into it.

Our version of bespoke. Many businesses flash the B-word; few take the time or possess the nuance to deliver it in full to their high-expectation clientele. Our people enter each relationship with three questions in mind: How will we enable this client to maximize the value of their real estate investment? What must we learn to guide them toward the most astute decision? And how will we best deliver on their expectations of us in terms of discretion, trustworthiness and advice. 

The luxury property seller’s expectations. They demand sophisticated, high-touch local and global marketing to achieve their aim. International reach is vital. Exclusive, or non-MLS, listings may be preferred by clients requiring greater discretion. J&D delivers it all, and like no other.

The importance of SEO in the online era.

The world we live in today is a digital one and searching for a home is no different. In 1981, 22 percent of homebuyers read newspaper ads to find a home and 8 percent used friends as an information source. In 2018, 48.4 percent of all buyers started their search online to find a property.* 

Online searching maximizes the ability to compare and contrast homes on the market and buyers now primarily search for property online first, before connecting with a Realtor. Our focus on digital exposure and advertising ensures that properties listed with Johnston & Daniel have prominent presence when consumers are searching for their next home.

Ultra-targeted social media marketing.

In social media marketing, rather than “spray and pray”, J&D harnesses Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter to micro-target listings and information to appropriate segments of our large following. Using high-end photography, video and articles, we incorporate interior images, press mentions and proprietary videos across all digital platforms to nurture influencers. Buying or selling, word travels fast.

List with confidence through superior service.
