Paul Johnston

Paul is originally from Minnesota, and his path to Texas included school in both Kansas and Texas before graduating from St. Mary’s University in San Antonio. Prior to real estate, he managed at Dell Financial, where he honed skills in communication, negotiation, and process management—skills that translate directly to guiding clients smoothly through complex transactions.

Paul entered real estate in 2003, drawn to a career that blends strategy, people, and service. He values long-term relationships built through consistent, professional guidance, and prides himself on being highly organized, data-driven, and proactive. He ensures clients understand every step, making the process efficient and less stressful.

Outside of work, Paul and his wife Laura enjoy time with their sons, Evan and Seth, and their three granddaughters, Hayley, Madilyn, and Cadence. He loves exploring Austin’s trails, golfing, traveling, and taking advantage of the city’s vibrant outdoor culture.

Why is it important to you to partner with a local brokerage?

Partnering with a local brokerage matters because real estate is fundamentally local. A strong local team provides up-to-date market insights, trusted vendor relationships, and a network of agents who understand neighborhoods and price points. This alignment helps me reduce friction, protect timelines, and deliver better outcomes and service for my clients.

What’s your favorite local spot and why?

One of my favorite local spots is the Shoal Creek Trail. It captures the best of Austin—green space, mature trees, and a quiet “reset” in the middle of a busy week. Whether I’m taking a walk to clear my head or just appreciating the city’s character, it’s a place that’s both peaceful and distinctly Austin.

Is there a local cause that is important to you and why?

I care deeply about housing stability—helping people stay housed, recover from setbacks, and build secure futures. I’m especially supportive of Mobile Loaves & Fishes, which provides tangible support to unhoused neighbors and creates pathways to community and stability.
