We had a very good experience. Our house sold very quickly so our contact would probably be considered brief but she responded to all our questions in a timely manner and was very professional and knowledgeable.

out of they're way numerous times- ( for a low commission sale) I was treated as if it was a million dollar sale- I was very
pleased with the process and the result.
above par, a real pleasure to deal with a professional who clearly enjoys her work. i'd still be stuck in new orleans without her assistance.
No complaints. no hassles or drama.

Lorna Johnston and Scott Johnston went beyond my expectations during our sales process of our home. It was truly a pleasure to work with these two individuals. Their expertise was remarkable. We had a few delays that were beyond our control as well as theirs and they made sure that we understood in great detail what the next step was. They continued to follow up daily and sometimes 2 or 3 times daily to give us an update to ease our minds. July 2019
And when a property's condition is an issue, Lorna and Scott Johnston have extensive remodel expertise to offer suggestions on possible risk and cost factors for us to consider.
It is rare to find a service level like what we were shown. I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the area.

Lorna was phenomenal when it came to everything, but especially open communication. I was interested in a few houses and she already knew it wasn't what I had wanted before even going in them. She so great at answering everything in a timely manner! She was easy to talk to, straight forward with everything and you could tell she was helping me find what I wanted-- not just looking to close on house so she would get an income! I would recommend Lorna to family and friends in the area in a heart beat, she made buying my first home not as stressful as imagined.

We would truly like to thank Scott and Lorna for working with us to find our perfect home. Even when they weren't on the clock, they were constantly looking for houses for us to look at. When one would come on the market they would let us know instantly. As a result, we found the one we have today. Without that type of work ethic I don't think we would have gotten our dream home.

I was attempting to purchase a home in Aberdeen while living in North Carolina and did not know what to expect from a local realtor since I had only visited Aberdeen once before during a very brief trip. However, Lorna Johnston not only met but exceeded all of my expectations regarding what a home-buying process should look like, and I cannot say enough positive things about Lorna and her Century21 team. Lorna knows not only the local Aberdeen area but also South Dakota as a whole as well, due to her personal connections throughout the state and her extensive experience in real estate. I have previously purchased homes in two other states but neither of those experiences was as smooth and effortless as the one Lorna provided over these past few weeks. Without hesitation I highly recommend Lorna and Century21 if you are considering purchasing a home in the Aberdeen area.

It is my distinct pleasure to provide a testimonial for Lorna Johnston. I first became acquainted with Lorna (and Scott) Johnston in July 2007, when I asked them to evaluate the value of my just inherited property at 1323 4th Avenue SE, Aberdeen, SD. They provided a very thorough portfolio of the value and potential sale options for the residence. However, as it was the house that I grew up in during my teens, I found myself reluctant to sell the home at that time.July 2018
Fast forward 11 years. The time had come to sell the residence. In as much as I had a good remembrance of the Johnston's previous effort in 2007, it seemed only prudent to contact them to put the house on the market. Thus, Lorna became the Realtor.
The usual contract between Seller and Realtor was signed on the weekend of May 5-6. A buyer's contract for the house was signed before noon the next day, Monday, May 7, 2018. Unreal action time! And the sale of the house was closed on June 22. Yes, we had numerous negotiations between offer and closing. And this is where Lorna was at her best. She kept me posted of developments every day and sometimes multiple times a day. Thus, there were many discussions between us. Lorna listened to my opinions carefully, was open to new lines of thinking, and always responded in a positive and enlightening manner. In short, Lorna was extremely pleasant in all aspects of being a realtor, and, in fact, fun to work with. She was knowledgeable, tireless and efficient. I could not have selected a better realtor!

We had been working with Lorna Johnston intermittently for a couple of years while in search of our new home. She was wonderful at keeping in contact with us and always kept us up-to-date on new listings. Lorna was very knowledgeable and guided us through each step of the home buying process, which went seamlessly. She was always very warm, friendly, and charismatic in our encounters. Lorna genuinely invested her time and heart into us and helped us find our dream home. We are forever thankful for that! I would HIGHLY recommend Lorna to anyone seeking a Realtor.

A friend called once he found out that we were moving to Aberdeen and suggested that we work with Lorna and Scott Johnston. Lorna called and left a message to get the process started before we even moved! They were very, very helpful. They know the area so well and were upfront and honest when we asked them all types of questions - in regards to the neighborhoods and opinions. We gave them parameters for the house we were looking for including the budget, wants vs. needs, etc and they respected those. They did not send us houses above our budget or anything. When we had a hard time communicating the style of house we were looking for, they sent us many options as we could handle. They made themselves available at all times and we're so friendly and great to work with - we would highly recommend them!!

After looking at several homes in the area with other agents, we were fortunate to get a reply from Lorna when we found a house online that we were interested in viewing. She showed us the house, we decided that it wasn't what we were looking for, and she immediately got to work on finding us what we wanted. She kept in contact with us and it didn't take her long to find something that was perfect for us.May 2018
Lorna was very knowledgeable of the local market and all the details pertaining to the sale.
She has been, by far, the best agent we have dealt with in this area. If we ever decide to move again we will definitely contact Lorna first.
Everyone was very nice and pleasant to work with.

Lorna helped us buy our home, and then sell it quickly when we had to move unexpectedly a couple years later. Most of the process had to be taken care of remotely (on both the buying and selling) due to us being out of town on both occasions - but that was no issue, as she took care of absolutely everything for us! We couldn't be happier with the service she provided us! When buying the home she dropped everything and showed us multiple places on a holiday weekend and was tuned in to exactly what we were looking for. When selling, she and Scott put together a very thorough market analysis and plan quickly. She was available to us night and day for anything we needed. She has extensive knowledge of the area, providing us with critical information that we couldn't have gotten anywhere else. We needed some jobs done after moving in and before moving out, and she always knew just who to call to get the jobs done quickly and at a good price. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone looking to either buy or sell a home!

We previously dealt with Scott who took the time to show several properties when we first moved to Aberdeen. At the time, we decided to postpone any home search / buying. When the time became appropriate, we resumed home showing and viewed a home being shown be Scott. Location was the most important consideration for us and decided to work with Scott and placed an offer which was accepted and subsequently completed the purchase. Scott was the ultimate agent who took the time to answer any and all questions and made the process of buying very easy. Thank You Scott for your efforts.

Lorna Johnston has more energy, compassion, and dependability than anyone I've ever met! Phone calls were returned promptly and there seemed to be nothing she couldn't do for me. She was always polite, friendly, and professional. I live in Des Moines IA and had the responsibility of PR for my mother's estate. This meant I wasn't there for many things that needed to be done and Lorna always came through for me. I have come to think of her as a friend and a confidant; I will miss dealing with her! You have a real gem on your team.September 2017

My husband had worked with Lorna previously and had a great experience with her. There was no question that we would use Lorna as our realtor when we decided to put our house on the market. August 2017
We can't speak highly enough of our experience with Lorna. Lorna made everything so easy for us with the sale of our house. From the moment we decided to put our house on the market she was working hard for us. She answered our questions at all hours of the day and night. She got realtors in to look at our house the first day it was on the market and she sold our house in a day and a half! We couldn't be happier with Lorna.
Lorna is not only an excellent realtor; she is a true professional and a genuinely nice person. She communicated well with us and was respectful of our time.
She went above and beyond with every step and even would come to our house to sign papers or drop things off if our daughter was sleeping.
We couldn't be happier with Lorna's sale of our house. She communicated well with us, was kind & respectful of our time, and best of all sold our house in a day & a half! We realize it won't always be this easy to sell your home but think you would be hard pressed to find a better Realtor.
Thank you Lorna for being such a pleasure to work with!

Being a first time home buyer, I was pretty picky on the home I would be purchasing. Lorna took the time and was patient with me in every aspect of the home buying process. She always kept me up-to-date on the next steps and answered all my questions. She truly puts the customer first. She is an expert in her field, and I loved the fact she would draw my eye to details. I learned so much from her! She is not in it for the sale, but she is truly wants you to love the house you are buying and be satisfied with the purchase. She understands the importance of your needs as a customer, and she helps you find a home not a house.June 2017
Overall, I had a phenomenal experience. I took a home buying class, and it seemed intimidating and daunting to continue on buying a home. Lorna helped to talk about the strengths and the downfalls of the houses I looked at. Her service was extremely quick. I would text, email, or call her, and she was always there to answer any questions or show me a home. I did not feel she was trying to sell me a house. I felt she had my best interest at heart, and she helped me find a beautiful home in my price range. I am so happy to have had Lorna as my realtor. Someday when I look to move there will be no one else I would want showing my home or helping me find a new home than Lorna. I was truly blessed to find such a great realtor.

Again, Scott and Lorna Johnston were the best. They deserve kudos for all they do. They had open houses at my home every other weekend without me requesting that it be done. They just worked very hard and earned their commission.
Genuine and kind people. Bar none the best realtors I have ever had.
The staff was polite, professional and let me know when showings were to be done when I was still in Aberdeen living in the home.
Very knowledgeable. They knew their stuff. A+ on their performance.

We entrusted Lorna with one of our biggest assets. As we had just recently purchased the home we were concerned of being extremely upside down on having to sell (job changed prompted a quick sell) Lorna wasted no time with open houses getting the house posted, and showings. She understood our need of not wanting the burden of an unoccupied house in Aberdeen through the winter months. She was aggressive with pricing but kept us in a good spot. Her understanding of the situation and ability to tell us what to do to get the house ready made for a speedy painless transition.

Lorna was truly excellent throughout. She was helpful, professional, and thorough. November 2016
She did a great job closing this deal even though it involved California buyers and financing. She was especially good in riding herd on the LA loan officer. Well done Lorna and thank you for helping us buy our Aberdeen home.

Lorna and her husband, Scott, were very professional, easy to visit with, and seemed to understand our needs and expectations. November 2016
Lorna continued to impress as time went on and made us feel our property and our needs were a priority.
Lorna would return phone calls in a very timely manner; I never had to worry about communications with her. She was always down to earth, always had time to listen to my concerns, and treated me with the utmost respect. I would recommend her to anyone looking for assistance in selling property.

From past experience with Lorna we knew that she would understand our needs and do her best to accommodate them.October 2016
Lorna was very patient with us.
We had to move early to begin a new job, so Lorna was extremely helpful in keeping us updated and by handling things in Aberdeen.
Lorna and Scott are both very knowledgeable in everything about the area and real estate in general. They put together a comprehensive sales plan and market comparison report in a very short period of time, and the results were dead on.
The house went up on the market and two days later we had an offer. This took a lot of weight off our minds as we had to move so early to get started on a new career over 200 miles away. Her expertise and understanding of our situation was very comforting in that we did not have to worry about the minor details, because she had them covered. She always kept us up to date an any changes or any other information that we needed to be aware or.

We looked at over 40 houses I think, as we changed our intention she adapted. We ranged from $300,000 houses to $120,000. As we came from a much lower cost of living area we had a hard time dealing with house prices in this area. Lorna worked with us on this and was willing to be flexible as we changed our mind several times. I can't remember 1 time she didn't answer her phone or call back within 10 minutes weekdays weekends alike. Our unease she took as her own unease and helped us through the process so we understood and could relax. For anyone buying a home it is a big commitment, Lorna took the detail stress away with great info and reassuring calls to keep us informed through the hole process.

Had our house on the market for 6 months with another broker. It did not sell at the end of that contract so we pulled the house off the market. A week later we received a letter in the mail from Lorna. After meeting with them and a few other brokers we decide that they had the best market plan for us. Three weeks later we had the house under contract! Wish we would have went with them 7 months ago!

With this being my first home purchase, Lorna did a great job explaining the steps, and how the process would work. She helped recommend who to go thru for my home inspection, and being a Wells Fargo employee, someone to go to for my mortgage. I appreciate that she addressed my concerns and treated me as a customer, not just a sale.

Lorna Johnston always replies to texts, calls and emails promptly. You can tell that she cares about her clients and is genuinely interested in being their advocate. August 2015
Lorna is also very flexible and open to a customer changing their minds about something. She returns calls and texts right away, even from on the road and late at night. She also spends time very wisely and doesn't waste a second either visiting a property or on the phone, and she is always in a good mood.
When there is a problem with anything, she steps up to the plate and handles it no matter what. So as the buyer, I didn't feel alone or pressured because she was my advocate.
The only reason my wife accepted the job offer at Northern State Univ is because Lorna successfully helped us put an offer on a real nice house during our house hunting trip. She showed us a bunch of different kinds in various locations, but there was one in particular that was a great price nearby the university, and so because Lorna took the time to write up a formal offer before we left back to the airport, we felt that buying a house in Aberdeen was simply in the cards and meant to be.
Designing the magnetic calendar and post cards with a picture of our house to mail out to people we know for change of address purposes was a much appreciated delightful and creative idea.
Lorna is an excellent realtor with impeccable business etiquette. She is also kind, warm hearted and friendly, making the home shopping experience fun and pleasant. Being a buyer from across the country, I absolutely had the best realtor helping us out because she was highly involved with the whole buying process, worked closely with the local banker and just made the whole home buying process a smooth, easy process. Hence, I would highly recommend Lorna to others relocating from out of town, whether they work in healthcare or at the university. She will offer all of her help and will not let anybody down, and Century21 should be honored to have her.

I met Lorna several years ago at an open house. I signed the guest registry and from that time I would continue to receive e-mail updates, postcards and/or letters in the mail. She was always so friendly and cared about "you" as a buyer and seller. Having both Scott and Lorna working together as a team made it very reassuring that things would be taken care of and handled correctly. Those initial contacts from Lorna at that open house is what made me decide I wanted Century 21 to be our realtor when the time came for us to sell our home.

Scott has been exceptionally wonderful to work with from beginning to end. I anticipate selling and making a different purchase at some point and he will be the agent that I will use! He has the personality and workmanship that a single mother needs when considering all the factors when purchasing a home. He pointed out and discussed all the positive and was forth-coming with potential negative aspects which allowed me to gain a trust in him. I would definitely refer him to anyone looking at buying or selling a home.
