Meet Our Team

 

Ted Johnston (850) 209-0842 Email Ted Ted's MySpace Page

Ted is a native of Jackson County having grown up in Marianna. Decent grades and athletic pursuits afforded Ted the opportunity to continue his education at West Point (the United States Military Academy) upon graduation from high school.

Upon graduation from West Point, Ted served as a helicopter pilot in the US Army. He remains very appreciative of the men and women in uniform who serve our country and defend the freedom's we enjoy as Americans.

After the Army, Ted worked in a professional sales capacity with Pfizer Pharmaceuticals and as a financial advisor for Merrill Lynch. A love of the financial markets caused Ted to start his own trading career as an independent equities trader which is how he made his living prior to his return to Marianna.

In January 2005 Ted came back home first as a teacher and coach at his old alma mater, Marianna High School, and now, as a real estate sales professional with old family friends, the Gauses, who he's known since childhood. It was very important to Ted when he hung his hat with a real estate company that he do so with people that he knew personally and trusted. He has not been disappointed.

We all have heard the 'doom and gloom' reports about how tough the real estate market is at the moment. Ted prefers to look at the glass as half full - it is an absolutely fabulous time to be buying NW Florida land and properties. The old adage of "buy low and sell high" applies to real estate and stocks. The recent correction in the real estate market has created a lot of buying opportunities unavailable a few years ago. Whether you're an investor, a renovator, a first time home buyer or someone looking for a vacation property, Ted has the time, energy and expertise to help you make a wise purchase. If you're selling, Ted's energy and enthusiasm will help you get a good price for your home or land.
