Senior downsizing · SLO County
I’m Reggie Johnson, a real estate broker and licensed manufactured home dealer on the Central Coast. I help people in their 60s and 70s downsize and simplify, handling everything from the cleanout to the closing, with no surprises and on your own time-frame.
No surprises
Everything we handle for you:
Sound familiar?
Most are in their 60s and 70s, downsizing and simplifying. Once they’ve moved, they tell me they’re exhilarated with the change.
“I am tired of taking care of a large home and yard.”
You’ve earned the break. Less house and less yard means more time for what you actually enjoy.
“I never have time for myself.”
Simplifying gives that time back. We handle the cleanout, the fix-up and the sale, so the move doesn’t take it from you either.
“I want more social activities.”
Many of my clients find that in a community, with neighbors and activities close by. I live in one myself.
One call, full service
We pride ourselves on being full service. One team coordinates every vendor, and you know what happens next at every step.
Talk through your moveNeed to buy before you sell? We help line up a bridge loan so the timing works for you.
Sorting, donating and hauling away what you won’t take with you. We coordinate the crews.
The repairs and touch-ups that help your home sell, handled by vendors we work with.
Pricing, marketing, negotiation and every step of escrow. This is where an accountant’s eye for the small items and the large ones pays off.
Including manufactured homes. As a licensed manufactured home dealer, I can guide you from choosing a home all the way to ready-for-occupancy.
As a care placement advisor with Team-Advocacy Network, I can help you find the right care community when that’s the next step.
Why Reggie
My degree is in accounting, and I spent more than 35 years doing Controller and CFO work for small businesses.
I don’t add much value finding a property for you. I add value when we reach the negotiation stage, and through the rest of the transaction, where I focus on the small items and the large ones.
No surprises
Nobody likes surprises. We outline and fully define what to expect up front, so we eliminate them before they happen.
“As we say in the Marine Corps: the more you sweat in peace, the less you bleed in war.”
Straight answers
A fair question, and I can answer it from experience: I live at Sunrise Terrace, a manufactured home community, myself. Many people picture the mobile homes of decades ago. Let me show you what manufactured homes and communities look like today, and decide at your own pace.
Then it goes on the list. Tell me what you need to park and store. As a licensed manufactured home dealer, I can show you homes and spaces that fit, and walk you through your options.
Closer, yes. Many of my clients tell me they wanted more social activities and less house to look after. We’ll look at the space and privacy each community and lot offers, so you can choose the balance that suits you.

Professional
“I have been fortunate to have worked with Reggie when I purchased and built here at Sunrise Terrace. Since he lives here – not just sells homes in the park, he was able to streamline both the purchase of the space and getting the new home placed on the space. His professional attitude made this a pleasant experience.”
Team Effort
“I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Cheri Wieland and Reginald D. Johnson on both a sale and purchase transaction, they are quite an accomplished team. I contacted Reggie about selling my large home and downsizing to a Manufactured Home in Sunrise Terrace. Reggie introduced me to Cheri for the sale of my large home and Reggie handled the purchase of my lovely, new home in Sunrise Terrace. They were both very professional, handled communications fully and timely.
I feel very comfortable referring my friends to work with Reggie and Cheri.”
“We worked with Reggie in 2021, during one of the more chaotic times to buy a home — right in the middle of the COVID supply chain disruptions. We purchased an older manufactured home with the intention of pulling it out and replacing it. Reggie not only guided us through the purchase as our realtor, but also tracked down one of the few manufacturers who could give us a firm price and delivery timeframe for our new home.
He worked closely with the manufacturer’s representative, the site prep contractor, and the crew removing the old home to keep everything on track. When our manufacturer’s representative suddenly passed away, Reggie stepped in himself as our point of contact with the manufacturer and the other subcontractors, keeping every side of a complicated, multi-step transaction moving smoothly. His job got even harder as the manufacturer dealt with supply and labor shortages of its own, which meant numerous contract changes, material substitutions, and additional subcontracting along the way.
Now that Reggie is a newly licensed manufactured home dealer himself, I have no hesitation recommending him. He already brings a realtor’s transaction expertise plus firsthand, ground-level knowledge of the entire manufactured home process — from choosing a home all the way to ready-for-occupancy — a rare and valuable combination for anyone considering this path.”
Commitment and Integrity
“If you are interested in dealing with a professional who has the patience of a saint, Reggie is your guy. He was so willing to meet me anytime, spend all the time I needed, go back, go back again and never a scowl. Every single detail was clearly explained. Guidance about pricing was invaluable. You can trust him to have your best interests at the forefront of his mind. I highly recommend Reggie!”
Complete Solution
“My wife and I have moved several times over the past few years and have worked with a number of excellent realtors, but on our recent move our realtor, Reggie Johnson, raised the bar for excellence. Reggie was not a nine to five realtor, he was available any time we called, rapidly responded, and immediately began to work on anything that needed attention. The sale of our previous home was particularly problematic as it fell out of escrow two times resulting in numerous changes to an already short escrow schedule and loan funding date. Reggie smoothly handled all of the changes effectively coordinating with the seller, escrow company and bank. Reggie represented both buyer and seller for our transaction and did so with the utmost regard for the interests of both parties. He went way beyond the call of duty to assist the seller in relocating, cleaning, disposing of furniture and other unwanted items, and arranging storage. In today’s fast moving market we needed a realtor whose services included more than just filling out the paperwork. It was only due to Reggie Johnson’s extraordinary effort and all-encompassing service that we were able to close escrow and move to our new location within our short escrow window.”
Easy to Work With
“It was an absolute pleasure buying our new dream home using Team-Realty. Their team and system made the process effortless and anxiety-free. They were there for us every step of the process. From purchase contract negotiation, through escrow oversight, and finally, assisting with contractors for the post-purchase remodel. They were very professional and easy to do business with. My husband and I couldn’t be in a happier place! Thanks Team Reggie!”
Timely Communication
“Reggie is an outstanding realtor. I am new to the area and he helped me with all aspects of my home purchase. He was always available and always prompt in getting back to me on any issue. It was a pleasure to work with him. You could not be in better hands when buying or selling a home.”
Honest, Hard Worker
“Reggie was a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process of the sale of our home. He went above and beyond the call of duty. I highly recommend Reggie to anyone who wants an honest, hard working real estate professional!”
