Johnna was raised in Arbuckle, California, on a farm
and has resided in Colusa County all her life. She
comes from a long genealogical line of family
farmers from Colusa & Glenn Counties. She has worked
in Real Estate for 13+ years and specializes in
residential and agricultural property sales. Having
lived in the county all her life gives her an edge
over most, in that she is very familiar with
properties and their location. Since she is from a
farming background she is also versed in 1031 tax
deferred exchanges and understands FSA bases,
histories, and water issues, when it comes to Ag
properties. Her expertise in Real Estate comes from
many different life accomplishments.
Johnna attended Pierce High School in Arbuckle and
graduated in 1982. She went on to college in Chico,
CA where she attended Butte College and C.S.U.
Chico. She obtained an AA degree from Butte College
in Business Education. From 1986 to 1993 she worked
as a claims adjuster for California State Auto
Association. There she received extensive training
and it was there that the theory, "The client always
comes first" was imbedded.
Looking to further excel, she decided real estate
had great possibilities, and in January of 1994 she
obtained her license and started a lasting career in
Colusa County. Some of her other accomplishments
include a strong family base and a marriage of 19
years, farming and harvesting rice each year with
her husband, Kelly, developing a "Lavender Bath &
Body Products" line from the lavender fields she has
grown and nurtured. With an agricultural upbringing,
agriculture and its education are very important to
her. She is involved with ag-tourism and helps
promote what her family does and what other farmers
around her do. The accomplishment most dear to her
heart has been raising a wonderful, loving family.
Her daughter, Lindsay, age 17 and her son, Logan,
age 15 are both involved in the family farm and are
4-H and FFA members who have successfully raised
steers for the fair the past five years. Her
husband, Kelly and her children continue to be very
supportive of her career and encourage her daily to
reach for the stars!
