Reputable broker recruited from Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty, adding to Baird & Warner’s growth
Baird & Warner, Illinois’ largest family-owned independent real estate services company, today announced it has recruited Steven Johnson to the firm’s Gold Coast office in Chicago. Johnson joins Baird & Warner from Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty, where he served as a broker since 2016.
“Steven has an incredible reputation in the industry thanks to his deep experience in the Gold Coast’s luxury residential real estate market and dexterity to deliver a high level of customer service to each client,” said Richard Druker, designated managing broker of Baird & Warner’s Gold Coast office. “His quality work aligns perfectly with Baird & Warner’s philosophy of making life easier for homebuyers and sellers, and we’re thrilled for him to join our team.”
Throughout his decades-long career, Johnson has acquired experience in both luxury real estate and estate management. Prior to his time at Jameson, Johnson was a broker associate at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, working across the Gold Coast neighborhood.
“Baird & Warner is known throughout the real estate community as an independent brokerage that not only takes care of its homebuyers and sellers, but also its agents – it’s one of the many attributes I’ve long admired about the firm and drew me to it,” said Johnson. “Also, as someone born and raised in the Chicagoland area, Baird & Warner’s deep Chicago roots and commitment to innovation and integrity mirror my own values. This move felt like a natural fit for my career progression.”
Johnson graduated from Purdue University with a bachelor of science degree in hospitality and has a certification in household management from Starkey International.
