BIO

Willis Johnson brings a rare blend of design insight, strategic thinking, and disciplined execution to his real estate clients in Port Townsend and the greater Olympic Peninsula. As a broker with Windermere, Willis is known for his hands-on knowledge, clear communication, and unwavering dedication to helping clients win—whether buying or selling.

Willis’s appreciation for homes began early. Growing up with a mother who is an interior designer, he developed a trained eye for space, materials, and craftsmanship. That foundation deepened through the full remodel of his own home, giving him practical, real-world experience in construction, design decisions, budgeting, and project management—an invaluable advantage when evaluating properties or guiding clients through renovations.

Before real estate, Willis built a career as a professional cyclist, a background that shapes how he approaches every transaction. Planning, training, executing strategy, and performing under pressure were essential to success in competitive racing—and those same skills now define his work for clients. He understands that results come from preparation, discipline, and follow-through.

Originally from Olympia, Washington, Willis has lived in San Francisco, New York City, and Seattle, experiences that sharpened his understanding of diverse markets, architecture, and lifestyles. He is also a business owner, bringing an entrepreneurial mindset, strong negotiation skills, and a deep respect for his clients’ investments.

Outside of real estate, Willis stays active surfing, mountain biking, and sailing. Having grown up sailing on the Puget Sound, his connection to the water and the outdoors runs deep—one of the many reasons Port Townsend feels like home.

With a unique combination of design sensibility, competitive drive, and broad life experience, Willis Johnson offers clients a powerful advantage and a trusted partnership throughout every step of the real estate process.
