The Seattle/King County Realtors honored Johna Beall with its “Outstanding Professional” award.

Beall is the managing broker at Real Living NW Realtors in Bothell and the founder/instructor at HomeOwnershipU. Since the beginning of her real estate career in 1998, Beall has been a dedicated volunteer instructor for the Washington State Housing Finance Commission where she teaches free classes for first-time buyers to help them avoid predatory lending and other costly mistakes.

She is the incoming state chapter president of the Women’s Council of Realtors® (WCR). Beall is a past president of the Seattle Chapter of WCR and helped start that organization’s first Masquerade Ball fundraiser. Its efforts benefit Brettler Family Place, a Sand Point Housing program for formerly homeless families with young children.
