All real estate, all the time.
Taylor Johnson is a public relations firm focused exclusively on the real estate industry. That specialization, paired with our more than 40 years in business, makes us a knowledgeable, trusted partner for the real estate clients we represent and a go-to resource for the media.
We are proud to work with a diverse roster of some of the industry’s most highly regarded companies – large and small, public and private, and touching nearly every residential and commercial real estate sector. Our philosophy of quality over quantity and of putting clients first has resulted in a number of long-term relationships, including our very first client – a more than 40-year partnership.
A boutique, family-friendly agency, Taylor Johnson was founded in 1977 by Deborah Johnson and is today led by her daughter, Emily Johnson.
