Background

About Marissa Johnson

I’m a detail-oriented legal professional with 6 years of hands-on experience managing complex real estate transactions in both residential and commercial sectors. Armed with a Paralegal Certificate from the University of Georgia and certifications in legal research and real estate licensing, I specialize in helping attorneys, brokers, and executives close high-value deals efficiently and compliantly. Throughout my career, I’ve partnered with commercial real estate SVPs and top-producing agents generating millions in sales per quarter, supporting them from contract to close. I’m skilled in drafting and auditing contracts, conducting due diligence (title, survey, zoning), and resolving compliance issues across multiple jurisdictions. I lead state licensing and regulatory compliance for thousands of agents statewide, coordinating legal audits and managing corporate filings to minimize risk and ensure full adherence to real estate regulations. I also design and implement CRMs and digital systems that streamline workflows—most notably digitizing over paper files into a centralized electronic system, boosting accessibility and compliance tracking across 40 offices. I thrive at the intersection of legal precision, operational efficiency, and scalable systems—helping real estate professionals focus on growth while I handle the complex legal and compliance details behind the scenes. Looking ahead, I’m focused on advancing my paralegal career in commercial real estate —leveraging my expertise in contract management, licensing, and system-building to support high-performing legal teams in delivering seamless, risk-free closings. Outside work, you’ll find me exploring Atlanta’s food and culture scenes, traveling new destinations, and prioritizing wellness and personal growth. Let’s connect — whether it’s to talk real estate, licensing, compliance, or how to build systems that truly support business growth.
