RE/MAX Venture | Owatonna

Licensed since 2022, I strive to help my clients through the ever changing real estate market. Whether you are buying or selling, I always have your best interests in mind. Because I stay in tune with the local market, I can help provide insight about all aspects of our community. Prior to beginning my real estate career, I gained years of experience in the plumbing industry; this experience has given me knowledge and skills working with large and small projects in existing houses, as well as in the construction of new homes and apartments. I believe in a calm, no nonsense approach to real estate in order to provide my clients with the best possible service. As part of the Gillard Realty Group, we are equipped with 30+ years of real estate experience. We are ready to offer our support and services whether you are looking to buy, sell, or have questions about the local market. We look forward to the opportunity to work with you. Please don’t hesitate to contact us today!

Since 2016, I have been a licensed Real Estate agent in Minnesota, with my main market being Owatonna and the surrounding area. There are so many ins and outs of Real Estate, and there is nothing I enjoy more than working with people to guide and help them through the process of buying and selling Real Estate. I am committed to using my knowledge and skills to navigate Real Estate situations with the ever changing markets. When I'm not “on the job”, I love spending time with my wife and 2 kids, and chasing them around to all their sporting events. I also enjoy playing and hunting with our 3 dogs (all Labs), golfing as much as possible, and experimenting with my smoker and always trying new meats and new ways to cook them.

When you want a home in southeastern Minnesota entrust your dream to me, Darren Johnson. In my previous life I worked at Jostens Ring Co. for 25 years where customer service is key. Peak life experiences include marrying my beautiful wife Stacey, watching my kids, Alexandra & Derek, grow up to be amazing young adults and traveling to incredible destinations which include Maui and Australia. An Owatonnan my whole life, I can find you the right house, bank, school, auto mechanic and the best chocolate in Minnesota.
