Keller Williams CEO David Johnson joins Summit Sotheby’s

David Johnson to become managing broker under Thomas Wright

The CEO Keller Williams Park City has left to join Summit Sotheby’s International Realty.

David Johnson, who was a highly respected real-estate attorney before becoming a broker in 2005, will become managing broker at the Park City branch of Summit Sotheby’s.

Thomas Wright will continue as president and principal broker, but Johnson will manage day-to-day affairs, including the training of agents.

“He will do what David Johnson has become so respected for: helping agents and working with clients,” Wright said.

Johnson is well respected for his customer-service skills, Wright said.

“He’s the best problem solver agents have ever worked with. He wants a transaction to work and will make it work for everyone,” he added.

According to his biographical information on the Keller Williams website, Johnson gave legal counsel to the Utah Association of Realtors, the Park City Board of Realtors, and even led the Utah Division of Real Estate prior to becoming a broker. Many of the forms Realtors use today were written by Johnson.

Wright said his company recruited Johnson and believes many of their peers will recognize it was a good move for him.

“He has friends in all the brokerage firms, and they’ll respect his decision because they respect him so much. You want your friends to make the best decision for them,” he said.

Johnson was on vacation when reached Thursday, but gave this comment: “The Sotheby’s brand is associated with quality. Their offices in

Park City and Salt Lake have an outstanding group of experienced agents, and I am particularly impressed with their leadership and energy. I look forward to assisting Sotheby’s in their commitment to providing the highest level of real estate brokerage services available.”
