Team Johnson Gives Back

TEAM JOHNSON is the number one producer in our office.  We sold more homes in St. Augustine than anyone else in our office for 2011 and 2012.  Part of our success is, unlike most real estate teams, we are not 5 real estate agents all doing the same job.  Each of our 5 team members have their own areas of expertise when it comes to buying and selling real estate.  3 members of our team took last weekend off from selling homes in St. Augustine and donated their time, talents, and expertise to a charity organization centered on children. 

Cheers for Peers (CFP) is a non-profit professional musical theater program.  Their mission statement is to present quality theater for family audiences and school assemblies in the St. Augustine area.  CFP’s program offers students a unique and amazing opportunity to learn in a professionally structured environment.  CFP provides children of all backgrounds an opportunity to experience quality theater productions.  Their singing, acting and dancing skills are developed in a disciplined classroom atmosphere. The students then test these skills through performance.  The audience applause strengthens their self-confidence and positively reinforces their hard work.  CFP's mission is to produce high quality musical productions, nurture imaginations & creative thinking skills, build theatre audiences of the future and create a memorable family experience.

Gene Johnson is the leader of TEAM JOHNSON.  He has an extensive background in accounting and business management in addition to being a top real estate agent in St. Augustine.  He used that business knowledge to manage the front of the house.   He collected the ticket money and helped this non-profit entity with very little resources stay in budget and even raise some funds for the continuation of the program.

Libby Johnson is the TEAM JOHNSON REALTOR handling buying and selling homes in the St. Augustine area.  She also has over 20 years experience teaching the arts to children of all ages.  She was the main teacher for these children, some of them having never even seen a stage let alone act, dance, and sing on one.  Due to casting changes she even donned the apparel of the teacher “Ms. Grouchstick” and the “Witch” in the musical. 

Shalynn Johnson is the TEAM JOHNSON member that handles all the marketing.  Her marketing efforts ensure that TEAM JOHNSON, as well as our listings, are marketed to the world!  She also has over 20 years experience in the performing arts.  Unlike Libby, Shalynn chose to stay behind the scenes of this musical.  She set up the theater’s sound and light system.  When show time came she used her extensive technical background to run the light board and the sound board.

All together these three members of TEAM JOHNSON donated hundreds of hours of knowledge and expertise to this program.  Gene, Libby, and Shalynn had fun meeting the children and their parents who were involved in this program and the shows were great, rewarding, and fun too!  For more information on this charity organization please call TEAM JOHNSON at 904-495-0146 or email us at teamjohnson@watsonrealtycorp.com
