Accounting & Business Advisory
Johnny’s professional career began with the formation of a CPA firm that grew to become one of the largest in Arkansas. Its highly diversified client base included construction companies, hospitals, agricultural companies and farms, and many nonprofit entities.
Higher Education & Real Estate Development
After selling his CPA practice, Johnny became vice president of Lyon College, a nationally recognized liberal arts college in Batesville, Arkansas. During six years at the college, he led a for-profit subsidiary focused on real estate development, creating multiple profitable revenue sources for the institution.
Historic Redevelopment
Following his work at Lyon College, Johnny became a re-developer of historic properties—typically acquiring buildings and adaptively reusing them for mixed-use purposes.
National Auction & Brokerage Experience
Johnny worked in auction marketing across the United States with the nationally renowned Roebuck Auctions. He also served four years as principal auctioneer and commercial broker with Little Rock-based Rector Phillips Morse/CORFAC International.
Broad transaction experience
Experience across virtually every kind of real estate.
Johnny has sold office buildings, entire condominium projects, multifamily properties, farmland, medical facilities, development land, subdivisions, and many other property types.
Those transactions have used both traditional brokerage and accelerated methods, including auction marketing. The approach is selected around the property, the market, the client’s objectives, and the timing required—not a one-size-fits-all sales process.
