Top Luxury Atlanta Realtor - Debra Johnston on Atlanta's Changing Face of Luxury

Coldwell Banker Realty leading Atlanta agent, Debra Johnston, offers her unfiltered take on Atlanta's changing face of luxury in recent Global Luxury Curated Newsletter.

ATLANTA, GA / ACCESSWIRE / January 21, 2022 / Debra Johnston is the queen of Atlanta luxury real estate. Affectionately called "The Hammer" by her peers and dripping with charisma, the 5' 3" Southern spitfire regularly lists the city's best trophy properties - like the nearly $10 million Sterling Hall on more than an acre. Her list of sold properties is even more impressive: a record-breaking $15,500,000 estate in Gainesville on 446 acres and video featured by Architectural Digest, a rare and highly-desired mid-century modern home in Buckhead that she's sold twice, and a resort-style estate at Ritz-Carlton Reynolds Lake Oconee that sold for $8,700,000 in four months, holding the highest recorded sale at Lake Oconee.

Unquestionably, Johnston has hit a new apex in her career. The 18-year real estate veteran was named to elite Variety's 2021 Showbiz Real Estate Elite Report. She also closed over $70 million in real estate sales in 2021 - with over $33 million in September alone, her all-time best.

Atlanta has also been on an unprecedented ride the last two years. The price threshold to enter the city's in-town luxury real estate market hit $1 million, while the median luxury price is closer to $3.5 million. A bevy of affluent out-of-state buyers, armed with cash and a slightly edgier style, are flooding into its toniest communities like Buckhead and Chastain Park. "Atlanta is being dubbed the Hollywood of the South," she says, referring to the film industry's entrée into Georgia around 2012 and growing prominence. "My clients range from industry types, sports, entrepreneurs and everything in between." The recent evolution of Atlanta as a global destination has been so dramatic that she foresees the next iteration of the luxury Atlanta buyer as not just being from Los Angeles, Chicago or New York, but from out of the country investing in Atlanta.

It's for that reason that she recently made the leap from the Buckhead office of her former brokerage - where she was the No. 1 individual agent for six years in a row - to the Coldwell Banker Global Luxury® network. "My vision was to go next level and expand my reach nationally and internationally in terms of my contacts and referral network. Coldwell Banker is superior in that aspect," she says.
