As a realtor, I have been fortunate to work with many wonderful people with all kinds of unique needs. It gives me great joy to help my clients get to where they want to be. It’s also rewarding to receive their words of gratitude. Sometimes my clients send me a handwritten thank you note or an email message. Reviews help people decide who they want to work with. Google reviews are the most common place for reviews to be posted. Often people tell me they would like to give me a review but in the hecticness of a move they get distracted. I estimate 10% of my clients get around to writing a review. I appreciate the time they took to do so and I believe my future clients appreciate it too.
For your convenience several recent Google reviews have been pasted below.
Perfect
My husband and I were determined to find the “perfect” retirement property and fortunately, we found Lee as our realtor. He took us to every property we wanted to look at, always had current accurate data, was professional, honest and a real pleasure to work with. One of the very best realtors we have ever dealt with and we highly recommend him.

Sold the day after
Lee Johnson is professional and very experienced. He sold my fathers home the day after it went up for sale! He gave me solid advice and priced it right based on the market as it stands today. He also included me in determining a fair and reasonable price. He recommended some work that I believe made all the difference.

His connections
Lee was very helpful both in our search and finally the acquisition process our place in Lister. Being out of province, having Lee with his connections made the purchase process smooth. He sold my parents their place in Creston in 2019 and was a great help through that process with a last hour hiccup. Highly recommend Lee. The fantastic gift basket full of local delights he gave us on possession day was truly icing on the cake.

Legwork
Lee stuck it out with us while our search went on for a couple of years. Purchasing when not in the same province can be a real challenge, but Lee made this very smooth and did a lot of the legwork for us, even being present for the sump pump out! He’s great to work with and surely “knows a guy” who can help with most anything! Would definitely use Lee again for any future real estate dealings!
Sandy Nickel
Very industrious
Lee is an exceptional realtor. He really knows the market here, and found us the perfect house right in the area we wished to live. He’s very industrious, very professional, always promptly addressing any questions or concerns we had. He was also always trying negotiate a better deal for us. He talked us out of one purchase which turned out to be a blessing and really moved fast when the better fit arrived. As a bonus he is charming and entertaining and actually made looking for a new house an enjoyable experience.

New Chapter
We were very happy with the choice we made to enlist Lee as our Realtor. From our first sit down with him when we decided to sell the home we had lived in for 36 years and raised our children in to the final sale of this home our experience was great. We listed when the market was not peak with all the interest rate hikes, etc. but with Lee’s ability to set you up with a really great listing with the photos and write up we still managed to have lots of views and a sale! Lee was always available to be in contact with and he held our hand through some of the challenges that can come with selling, we were very appreciative. We would definitely recommend Lee if you are looking to sell your home and property.

Always quick and efficient
Lee represented the buyers for the purchase of my late father’s property. As executor, I chose to sell privately so I worked directly with Lee on the deal. Lee was kind, friendly, knowledgeable and professional throughout the process. When he said he was going to do something, he did it. When he said he would call or visit at a certain time, he did. Lee was always quick and efficient in his responses to any calls, texts or emails.
I highly recommend Lee. I would absolutely hire him to represent me in a purchase or sale of a property.

His guidance
Our family highly recommends Lee Johnson. Lee helped my parents navigate the sale of their farm which was much more involved than we realized. He is professional, knowledgeable, friendly and patient, as well as a local resident with many years spent living in Creston and developing connections there. We are grateful to him for his guidance and expertise.

Got ducks in a row
We highly recommend Lee! He was very helpful, professional and attentive to us as first time buyers. Lee offered advice throughout the process that was invaluable because of his strong local roots and experience as a realtor. He is also very personable, honest and easy to communicate with, making time to answer our many questions to ensure we had all our ducks in a row. Thanks Lee!

To be trusted
Lee Johnson is the realtor to call if looking to buy or sell a property on the east shore of Kootenay Lake! My husband and I recently sold our lakehouse and Lee’s professional manner and proactive energy was a pleasure to work with. His knowledge of the market drawn from years of experience, and his in-depth understanding of the area as a long term resident were invaluable assets. Lee exceeded our expectations! We were left wishing we had bought our lakehouse through him as well. His knowledge of the lake, breakwaters, regulations, as well as businesses/trades to be trusted would have been invaluable to us as people buying into an unfamiliar area.

Stands out as the best realtor
We can not say enough on how committed Lee is to his profession and his clients. We have purchased several homes over the years and Lee certainly stands out as the best realtor that we have dealt with, he was present at every showing with other realtors making sure the client knew everything about our property. Highly recommend Lee and his local knowledge to anyone looking to sell or purchase property in the Kootaney valley. Thank you Lee!! Bill and Linda Williams
Made it easy
Lee has been my realtor for many transactions for both selling and buying properties. He has been there to “hold my hand” through all the ups and downs that are typical when you list a property or search for a new home. He was always available to call and answered all of my questions. He made the buying and selling as easy as it could be and his expertise was invaluable. I would not hesitate to recommend Lee to anyone looking to sell or purchase real estate in the Creston Valley and Kootenay Lake areas. He will take very good care of you!

Supported us 100%
We are first time buyers and new to the Kootenay Lake region, and we felt very comfortable working with Lee. Lee spent several hours showing us the home, with many details. He reviewed property sales in the area to compare prices. We appreciated this thoroughness immensely. Lee guided us carefully and considerately through the whole buying process and made excellent suggestions for our offer price. He supported us 100%. He attended on our behalf with the home inspector, this was greatly appreciated. He made sure we had all the necessary documentation to meet our conditions. He also recommended excellent professionals for us to deal with. He returns texts, phone calls and e-mails quickly and efficiently. He follows through. Plus, he has a great sense of humour. We heartily recommend Lee, he made it easy for us. THANKS LEE from Doug and Paula!

I love it
Lee Johnson helped me to purchase my new home in Creston. I am really pleased with it and would highly recommend Lee to anyone looking for a great real estate agent. I was an out of province buyer, and Lee was able to make the whole thing happen even from long distance. Thank you so much Lee, I appreciate all you did for me to get my place and I love it!
Debbie Arthurs
Knowledge of the Kootenay area
Thank you Lee for your professional and efficient service. Not having to travel to BC for any of the document signing and chasing info you saved us frustration and time. Your knowledge of the Kootney area was invaluable. Thanks again.
Barry Jeffords
Highly recommend Lee
I want to take the time to personally thank and to highly recommend Lee Johnson. He listed a property I own in Crawford Bay, Lee was amazing. He took great photos and gathered all the information a buyer needed to have all the information about the property on MLS.ca. My property was only on the market for 2 days and he already had 2 interested parties looking to make offers, and presented me with a full price offer on day 3; which I accepted.
If you’re looking at listing your property in the Creston, or the East Kootenay region I would definitely contact and hire Lee. If you are looking to move to the area Lee can help you explore all your options and find the perfect home.
