Columbus Real Estate Agents

Kimberly Johnson is a third generation Texas Real Estate Broker, born and raised in Katy, Texas. Kimberly graduated a year early from Katy High School and went on to graduate from Texas A&M University. Starting at 14, Kim gained valuable experience in land development while working for her fathers engineering and surveying company, Clay & Leyendecker, Inc., where she still fills in when needed today. After A&M, Kim went to work for Stewart Relocation, a division of Stewart Title. She learned the title business and relocated mid-level managers through CEOs across the U.S. and Puerto Rico. At the advice of her broker/rancher grandfather she obtained her real estate license for her own investment purposes in 2008, joining the company her grandfather founded in 1978. She enjoys flipping homes and investing but she quickly realized that all of her experience had cumulated into something she really enjoyed and that was helping her friends and family buy homes, farms/ranches, and investment properties. She left Stewart Title to pursue this career that has been a natural fit for her love of helping people and the love of the hunt for the right property. In 2016 Kim was named a "Top 20 Under 40 Rising Star in Real Estate" by the Houston Association of Realtors. Kim sat on an advisory board for the Houston Association of Realtors from 2015-2017. Kim took over her Grandfathers company, with her cousin, Currie Luedecke, in 2017. She was named a Director with the South Central Board of Realtors in 2019. She has been married to her husband, Ross, for 16 years and has two daughters that she foresees being the 4th generation in this business.

A native Houstonian, Arlene Johnsey gave up the beach life and landscape in Galveston for the gentle, rolling hills of Colorado County in South Central Texas. Not for a moment has she looked back and questioned doing so. With its majestic live oaks, hills and wide open spaces, this region that Arlene now calls home is becoming equally attractive to others wishing to find respite from living in a big city atmosphere. Arlene understands what attracts people to her ‘little bit of paradise’ and gives them the benefit of her deep knowledge and commitment to superior customer service. “I’ve always been driven and unafraid of ‘stepping out of my comfort zone,’” says Arlene of her career as an award-winning sales associate. “I make only promises I can keep, and I’m known for putting that extra effort into every real estate transaction.” Her best advice? “Keep learning, and remember your priorities!” For Arlene, that means staying positive, being trustworthy and sensitive to others. These qualities, coupled with her high energy personality, make her a powerful force among her peers and in her community. A devoted wife, mother and grandmother, Arlene enjoys singing in her church choir and working with area charities. Arlene has earned the professional designations of ABR and SRES and is a Top Producer! •Member of South Central Board of REALTORS® (SCBOR®) •Member of Houston Association of REALTORS® (HAR®) •Member of Texas Association of REALTORS® (TAR®) •Member of Houston Association of REALTORS® (HAR®)

Hi! My name is Daphne Powers and I am first generation Dutch American! Lived in Katy, Texas where I attended and graduated from Katy High School and then went on to Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas. I have a degree in Interior Design and a minor in Art which I believe gives me an advantage in the real estate world.

Currently living in the Bellville area allows me to share what this area has to offer to potential buyers who are looking to get out of big cities. Small town living is done right in Austin & Washington Counties while still being close enough to bigger city amenities. I love to be outdoors, ranch, paint, create, read, cook, hunt, garden and go on adventures with my family in our camper.

I enjoy getting to know all walks of life. I believe in treating people the way you want to be treated and aim to keep my clients happy and make the home buying & selling process fun!

I am a graduate of Texas A&M University, a licensed Texas Real Estate Broker, and an Accredited Buyer's Representative. After graduating from A&M I relocated to Houston and then San Antonio to pursue my career in property management. The larger cities were wonderful for my career but when my husband and I were blessed with a daughter, I started reminiscing about life growing up in a small community. In 1993 we relocated to the Columbus area. After ten years of being a stay-at-home mom, I activated my broker's license and joined Keller Williams Realty out of the Houston area. Two years later, I joined a local real estate firm, Texas Star Realty, and managed the office but still enjoyed listing and selling real estate. Texas Star Realty was purchased by Coldwell Banker - The Ron Brown Company in January of 2015. In March of 2015 I was blessed to join Double G Realty, LLC a locally owned and operated company. In addition to being a full time Realtor, I was also involved with numerous school and community activities such as Parent Teacher Organizations, Girl Scouts, Columbus Aquatic Team and Tri-County Aggie Moms Club.

A note from Lea Ann: I am so proud to be able to call myself a native Texan, born and raised in Austin, Texas! I began my real estate career at the age of 27 in the beautiful community of Friendswood, Texas. I was excited to be working with and learning from the Friendswood Mayor and Broker/Owner of Century 21 KEY Realtors, Mrs. Evelyn Newman. After dedicating 8 years to that firm, I made the decision to join RE/MAX in the Clear Lake area where I enjoyed a challenging and successful career before gravitating back towards the beautiful Texas Hill Country that I call home. After 32 years, I still very much enjoy my chosen career as a real estate professional. I have earned the distinguished Accredited Buyer Representative Designation through the National Association of Realtors and am the proud Broker and Owner of Living Texas Real Estate located in beautiful downtown & historic Columbus, Texas. I am a dedicated real estate professional who will be excited in helping you find your new home or that perfect piece of land, or if it's time to sell your property, give me a call! I'd love to meet you!
