Johnell Woody is a real estate broker, licensed instructor, coach, trainer, volunteer and pretty good cook. Johnell is passionate about real estate, devoting decades to the industry, all the while promoting the importance of life-long learning.

Originally licensed as a real estate professional by the California Department of Real Estate in 1972, there are few areas of the industry that Johnell has not experienced. Her career has provided many unique opportunities that have tempered her insight and approaches to educating prospective real estate agents, as well as "upping the game" of already productive real estate professionals.

Johnell holds an Associate of Arts Degree from Cerritos College, CA in business law, real estate emphasis, a Bachelor of Arts Degree from Kennesaw State University, GA in Integrative Studies with emphasis on psychology, communication and theatre and a Master of Arts Degree in Integrated Global Communication. Johnell also awarded KSU Leadership Program Certificate.

Johnell has served on or chaired too many realtor association committees in the past to list. Currently she is a member of GAR Professional Development Committee, Director on the GREEA Board, and Co-Chair of the REEA Education Committee. Johnell is under contract to author a textbook on real estate finance for a California community college.

To Johnell real estate is not a job. It is a rewarding opportunity to serve her community, help clients and customers with perhaps their most important investment – home ownership, and to share years of experience to help new agents achieve their concept of success, to include the added bonus of financial freedom.

The irony is not lost on Johnell who was emphatic that as the scientific sort, there were two careers she would NEVER pursue – sales and teaching – now she does both!

One of Johnell’s favorite quote and her internal guidepost:

“Success is…knowing your purpose in life, growing to reach your maximum potential, and sowing seeds that benefit others.” - John Maxwell
