Stacy Johansen

FOUNDER OF RESPONDERS REAL ESTATE LLC AND
BRANCH BROKER AT REAL ESTATE ESSENTIALS IN OGDEN, UT.
I’ve been helping people buy, sell, and invest in real estate across Utah since 2006—but my journey started even earlier, flipping homes after relocating from Southern California in 2002.

Back then, I was frustrated with the level of service I experienced from agents. So I got my license—initially just for myself—and quickly realized I had found my calling. I haven’t looked back since.

A PASSION FOR HELPING LOCAL HEROES
As the proud wife of a firefighter and U.S. Marine veteran, I have a deep commitment to serving those who serve our communities. My heart is with our local heroes: first responders, military members, teachers, and healthcare professionals. It’s an honor to help them and their families navigate one of life’s biggest milestones.

MY SPECIALITY & STYLE
I work with a wide range of clients, including seasoned investors, commercial buyers, first-time homebuyers, downsizing sellers, and luxury clients. No matter the situation, I bring a hands-on, full-service approach to every transaction—and I personally handle all negotiations. My clients are never handed off.

I take the time to truly understand each client’s goals, guiding them through every option and every step along the way. I also connect them with trusted vendors I’ve built relationships with over the years—from lenders and inspectors to designers and handymen—so they always feel supported and well taken care of.

A LIFE LIVED IN REAL ESTATE
I’m not just a broker—I’ve lived many of the life stages that lead people to real estate decisions. I’ve raised kids, relocated across state lines, gone through divorce and remarriage, downsized, blended families, built dream homes, and owned investment properties. Those experiences allow me to connect with my clients in a real and meaningful way.

I’ve been honored with the Rookie of the Year award, earned multiple Top 500 designations (out of over 16,000 Utah agents), and consistently rank as a top producer within my brokerage. I’m also a regular face on ABC4’s Real Estate Essentials and have been featured in Utah Business Magazine and on multiple radio stations statewide for my business acumen and marketing expertise.

BEYOND THE BUSINESS
I was born and raised in Southern California and now call North Ogden home. My kids are now young adults—my greatest accomplishments—and my husband and I share our home with two lovable Australian Shepherds.

I’m a certified interior designer, a passionate gardener, and currently turning my yard into a cottage-style oasis filled with nearly every plant that can grow in Utah. When I’m not working or planting something new, you’ll find me outdoors, especially near water. I love boating, warm weather, and traveling the world. My passport is full, with favorites including French Polynesia, Bali, and Venice.

MY MOTTO
“The more I help others succeed, the more I succeed.” – Ray Kroc

I believe in the power of positivity, manifestation, and genuine connection—because to me, clients don’t just come and go. They become lifelong relationships.
