Claudius Johnson, Broker
I take the time to listen carefully to understand my client’s needs, wants and concerns. I will be ready to take quick action when required and spend more time with those who aren’t quite sure which direction to take. My genuine concern for my client’s best interests and happiness ensures the job is done! With 50 years of experience living in Oakland and 25 years as a licensed real estate professional, I offer a deep understanding of the local market. Originally from Brooklyn, NY, I bring a diverse perspective to my work as a relocation expert, property manager, and home loan specialist. Educated with a B.A. in Human Development from CAL State East Bay and a Masters in Social Work from San Francisco State University, I have a passion for serving the community. I contribute to non-profit organizations that support equality and mental health. As an experienced negotiator and area specialist, I prioritize building lasting relationships with clients. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, reading, art collecting, spending time with family, exercising, and continuously learning. An animal lover at heart, I strive to make every client's real estate journey a positive experience. |
