About Sharlan Johnson
As a real estate broker serving the Greenville-Spartanburg area, I'm committed to helping clients move through the buying or selling process with confidence. Every client deserves clear guidance, steady communication, and support tailored to their goals. A recent client shared, "When we started the process of our first home, she guided us and gave the most professional advice." That trust is the foundation of my work. Having spent many years living and working in the Upstate, I provide insight into local neighborhoods, market conditions, and negotiation strategies that help clients make informed decisions. My approach is grounded in communication and care--because real estate is about people and the chapters they are stepping into, not just properties. If you're planning to buy or sell in Greenville, Spartanburg, or nearby communities, I would be honored to help you begin your Carolina story.

Community Involvement
Serving the Greenville, Spartanburg, and Upstate South Carolina communities--while proudly volunteering with the Humane Society and T1D organizations.
HOBBIES/INTEREST
Outside of real estate, family is everything. With children living overseas, in other states, and attending colleges across the country, I treasure every chance to see the world through their experiences. At home, I love spending time with my twins--watching them grow, explore their interests, and develop their love for both sports and the arts. Family moments, whether near or far, are what keep me inspired and grounded.
FAMILY
Family plays a huge part in life outside of real estate. With five children--some living overseas, others in different states and colleges--there's always an adventure to follow. Home life stays lively with twins, two dogs, and a pair of leopard geckos, making every day full of energy, laughter, and love.

FAQ
Don’t let the “old norms” of yesterday’s market—like ultra-low interest rates or long negotiation timelines—keep you from building your future today. The market has changed, but opportunity still exists for buyers who are informed and ready. Remember, you can always refinance when rates shift, but you can’t go back in time and buy the perfect home that fits your life right now.
Stay focused on your long-term goals, keep communication open, and lean on your agent’s expertise to guide you through inspections, negotiations, and closing with confidence.
Pricing it right from the start is one of the most powerful tools you have; the first few weeks are when your listing will attract the most attention.
Don’t let “old norms” about what used to sell homes hold you back. Today’s buyers expect move-in ready spaces, strong online marketing, and realistic pricing. Professional photos, thoughtful staging, and a clear marketing plan—especially one that maximizes digital reach—can make a big difference.
Remember, the goal isn’t just to sell—it’s to sell well. With the right preparation and guidance, you can attract serious buyers and achieve a smooth, successful closing that supports your next move with confidence.
I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of clients across the Upstate—first-time home buyers, growing families, relocation clients, investors, and sellers preparing for their next chapter. Each client has unique goals, and I tailor my approach to fit their needs—whether it’s guiding a first-time buyer through every step with confidence, helping a family sell their longtime home, or finding the right property for an investor seeking strong returns.
A recent sale in Greenville, SC that really meant a lot to me involved a seller who initially didn’t want to move because of the higher interest rates. They were comfortable in their current home, but it no longer fit their long-term lifestyle or needs. After taking time to explore options and run the numbers together, they discovered a new home that checked every box—location, layout, and comfort for the years ahead.
Once they realized the bigger picture, the decision became clear. We sold their current home quickly and smoothly, and they transitioned into a home that truly supports their next chapter. It was a great reminder that sometimes it’s not just about the rate—it’s about finding the right home for the life you’re building.
My path to real estate started long before I ever became a REALTOR®. I began by building my own homes, learning firsthand what goes into design, quality, and the details that make a house truly feel like home. After retiring from my first career, I decided to take that experience and turn it into a full-time profession.
Becoming an agent felt like a natural next step—it allowed me to combine my knowledge of home construction with my passion for helping people. Today, I use that hands-on experience to guide clients with confidence, whether they’re buying, selling, or investing here in the Upstate.
I bring a strong combination of business education and real estate expertise to every transaction. I hold an MBA, which gives me a solid foundation in finance, marketing, and negotiation—skills that directly benefit my clients when it comes to pricing strategies, market analysis, and contract terms.
In addition, I’ve earned several professional designations, including C2EX (Commitment to Excellence), SRS® (Seller Representative Specialist), and ABR® (Accredited Buyer’s Representative). Each of these reflects advanced training in client representation, ethics, and market knowledge.
Together, these experiences allow me to guide clients with confidence, helping them make informed decisions and achieve successful outcomes in an ever-changing market.
Answered Questions
Can I pause selling my house?
You can absolutely pause showings if you need a break aEUR" especially over the holidays aEUR" but don't feel pressured to pull your home just yet. The " old normaEUR? of everything stopping in November has shifted. Serious buyers are still out there, and with less competition, your home might actually stand out this time of year. If you prefer to slow things down, your agent can mark your home as temporarily off-market and relaunch with fresh energy in January. The key is not letting interest rates or timing fears make the decision for you aEUR" focus on what fits your long-term goals and peace of mind.
