Aaron Johnson can tell you about every nook and cranny of all the neighborhoods below 34th Street. Having lived and worked Downtown for over 10 years, he has seasoned insight on what each unique area has to offer to meet a client's housing and lifestyle desires. Aaron's real estate career was born of his love for the city, and keen interest in NYC's extraordinarily rich history. "I exercise this passion daily, which I believe is an absolute necessity in gaining access to every apartment, knowing and embracing the streets daily, and directly influencing the ever-changing landscape of our great city."
Originally from Minneapolis, Aaron moved to NYC with a single week's notice, having never visited the city before. He initially settled in Crown Heights, and has since lived in Bushwick, Bed-Stuy, Williamsburg and Clinton Hill in Brooklyn, as well as many areas of Manhattan including the Financial District, Chinatown, LES & the East Village, Midtown East and Hell's Kitchen. Like Reddit, Aaron invites you to "Ask Me Anything!"
Extremely social and outgoing, Aaron gets along with just about anyone he meets. His goal is to form relationships with his clients that help them feel comfortable in each step of their home search.
Prior to embarking upon his profession in real estate, Aaron pounded the NYC pavement daily as a full-time fashion model- making connections, scouring the streets and buildings, and ultimately learning the city inside out. This resourcefulness and ingenuity, combined with his strong creative side, was honed while also working in the photography, graphic design and music industries. Aaron's diverse experience includes touring in headlining bands, DJing special events and nightclubs, working as a tour manager, a music editor, a music publicist, marketing & management at a major label, and event production. "This experience has given me a unique perspective on the arts and how they relate to business, as well as a keen eye for design, and a proven talent for generating exposure and making things happen."
