Germany Johnson Makes History as Youngest Team Leader & CEO in Keller Williams International
At 24, Scottsdale Leader Redefines What’s Possible in Real Estate Leadership

Scottsdale, AZ — December 8, 2025 — Keller Williams Realty Sonoran Living – Scottsdale proudly announces that Germany Johnson, a Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce member, has been named the youngest Team Leader and CEO in Keller Williams International, across more than 1,000 office locations worldwide.

Since stepping into the Interim Team Leader role in August, Johnson has led a period of accelerated growth and strategic transformation for the Market Center. Under her leadership, the brokerage relocated into a brand-new office, hosted a community Grand Opening in partnership with the Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce, and appointed a newly structured Board of Directors to support long-term governance and vision.

During this same period, Johnson and her team spearheaded the launch of **two new divisions—Land and Young Professionals—**while simultaneously relaunching the office’s Luxury platform. The Market Center is now formally underway toward an official luxury designation and is positioned to become one of only seven Keller Williams offices internationally to hold a “Certified” Luxury distinction.

With the support of the newly appointed Board, Johnson and her team are also leading the rebrand and statewide expansion of KWYP Phoenix, relaunching it as Keller Williams Young Professionals Arizona—a strategic initiative designed to elevate, develop, and retain emerging talent across the organization.

When asked how she has been able to accomplish such significant growth in just four months, Johnson shared, “I walked in ready to serve—and that is exactly what I promised my team I would do. Our 158 agents are who made this possible. Our Board of Directors—Andrea Garcia, Austin Bloom, Eydi Nickola, Kimberly Banks, Mark Captain, Sharon Coffini, and Taylor Tucker—are who made this possible. Our Commercial Director, Daniel McClure, and our Land Director, Eric Fox—this is because of them. These agents have been serving this community for more than 20 years. My responsibility is to support them at the highest level, the same way they show up every day for their clients.” Johnson emphasized the broader perspective behind the momentum, adding, “It’s no secret the real estate industry is unpredictable. As agents, we don’t control the market—but we do control the leadership we provide, the opportunities we create, and the level of service we deliver. At Keller Williams Scottsdale, that isn’t an aspiration—it’s the standard. This is just the beginning.”

At just 24 years old, Johnson is leading a rapidly expanding brokerage in one of the nation’s most competitive luxury real estate markets—an industry where the average agent age exceeds 55. Her appointment marks not only a company milestone, but a broader shift in the narrative of real estate leadership, both locally and nationally.

“This achievement is bigger than a title,” Johnson said. “It represents what’s possible when driven young professionals are given a seat at the table. Keller Williams—and the leadership and belief of our ownership group, William Hawking, Ryan Krostue, Edgar Rascon, and Alex Fajardo—provided me, as a young professional, with an opportunity for growth, leadership, and true entrepreneurship that most people my age are never exposed to.”

Johnson’s leadership continues to elevate agent performance and market presence through innovation, mentorship, and forward-thinking business strategy. Her story reflects a growing movement of ambitious young professionals reshaping the future of real estate through fresh perspective, digital fluency, and purpose-driven leadership.

“While nearly 90% of millionaires invest in real estate, wealth-building and real estate education are not core subjects taught in our primary education system,” Johnson added. “For young professionals like me to become knowledgeable in the tools that create real, generational wealth, we have to choose this industry—we have to seek it out. My mission is to empower more young professionals to do exactly that: to step into real estate not just as a career, but as a vehicle for leadership, ownership, and long-term impact.”

Johnson is actively seeking opportunities to share her journey, inspire the next generation of professionals, and continue expanding the impact of Keller Williams Realty Sonoran Living, Scottsdale — across Arizona and beyond.
