About
Dave has been a licensed REALTOR® since 2003!

After my 20+ years in the construction industry, from carpenter to senior management, I changed careers to real estate.

Born in Kalispell, Montana, I grew up throughout the Pacific Northwest. My first experience of Alaska was Ketchikan in 1981 and I fell in Love with SE Alaska. It made such a positive impact on me, I returned to Ketchikan with my bride-to-be, Karen, in 1985. Our family of five moved to the quiet city of Palmer in 1999 and are very happy to call the Mat-Su Valley home.

Over 50% of my business consistently comes as a result of being recommended by a past client or friend! That’s how I like to measure success.

We had an amazing experience working with Dave and Travis from start to finish. They were professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about helping us find our perfect home. They took the time to listen to what we wanted and delivered exactly that - our dream home!
They patiently answered all our questions, explained every step clearly and made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. Even after we closed, they continued to check in and offer help, which truly went above and beyond our expectations.
If you are looking for someone who’s knowledgeable, trustworthy, and dedicated, I can’t recommend Dave and Travis enough. They made buying our home a wonderful experience!

David did an outstanding job from start to finish. He made sure he communicated often and there were no questions left unanswered. He was spot on in his market analysis and in setting the sale price of our home. A great experience.

Dave Johnson and his colleague Travis did an exceptional job for us. They were knowledgeable about market trends, areas, and extremely prepared whenever we met. They were always responsive back to my concerns quickly and helped make the selling process easy. They always listened, we’re patient and understanding with any questions we had, and truly worked on our behalf to make it a wonderful experience. Would use them again in a heart beat and recommend them to family and friends. Very kind and relatable people who care about their clients, as well as knowledgeable about real estate. I’m convinced they have to be the best team in the area! Highly recommend Dave Johnson!

Dave stick with us for two years after we initially thought about selling our home. We had to put it off until this year but he would check in periodically to see how we were doing. It was nice to develop a relationship with he and his son Travis so it was like a good friend was selling our home instead of a stranger just looking at the bottom line. We had multiple offers on our home as expected and Dave helped us make a good business based decision vs. an emotional one, which is a tough situation to be in for sure. Everything went smoothly and we couldn’t be happier. We highly recommend Dave and plus, he gives you wonderful homemade jam!!
