About Kelli Johnson

Kelli Johnson is a luxury real estate advisor with Compass in San Francisco, bringing a rare blend of seasoned communication expertise, market savvy, and client-focused strategy to every transaction.

Before entering real estate, Kelli spent 23 years as an award-winning on-air sports broadcaster in major markets including San Francisco and Washington, D.C. Her decades in live television shaped the skills that now set her apart in the Bay Area’s competitive real estate landscape: exceptional poise under pressure, the ability to distill complex information clearly and quickly, and a natural talent for building trust with a wide range of personalities. This background allows her to advocate confidently for clients, communicate with precision, and navigate fast-moving situations with ease.

In just five years with Compass’s Nob Hill office, Kelli has earned swift success in San Francisco’s luxury market. Her sales track record, deep neighborhood knowledge, and reputation for concierge-level service have positioned her as a go-to advisor for clients seeking a thoughtful, informed, and strategic approach to buying or selling in the Bay Area.

Kelli’s business is further strengthened by her partnership with fellow Compass advisor Katie Fones. Together, they lead The K2 Collective—a dynamic team that merges Kelli’s decades of high-stakes media experience with Katie’s 17-year career as a divorce attorney and law firm partner. Their combined skill sets offer clients a powerful advantage: clear communication, strong negotiation, legal-minded attention to detail, and unwavering support through every step of the real estate process.

The K2 Collective is built on integrity, preparation, and the belief that exceptional service is non-negotiable. Kelli is proud to guide clients with the confidence, composure, and professionalism that defined her broadcasting career—and continues to define her success in Bay Area real estate.
