Lynn Johnson
Owner/Principal Broker
I feel lucky to live and work in such a beautiful area. We found the Illinois Valley in 1980 and have lived happily ever after! I have assisted hundreds of Oregon buyers and sellers over the past 39 years. I started my real estate venture in Southern California (San Fernando Valley) in 1974 after working in the legal field, which provided an excellent foundation for my real estate career. Opportunity knocked in 1996 and I was able to become the owner/broker of Illinois Valley Real Estate.
I feel truly blessed to have devoted my life to providing assistance to not only buyers and sellers, tenants and owners, but also mentoring many agents over the years.
If you are looking for a hard-working, honest, and experienced broker, call me. I look forward to assisting you in your real estate endeavors.

Sue Kern
Real Estate Broker
Thank you for taking the time to read my Bio. I am the mother of 3 Beautiful children, and since 2014 I have been a Real Estate Broker here with Illinois Valley Real Estate, and I love it! Here a quick glance into my past starting in 1987. First, I was a proud member of the US Navy stationed in South Carolina, San Diego, and Guam. I have been a US Navy mineman, part of the US Navy Reserves, a grocery store clerk, a woodworker, home remodeler, and finally a real estate broker. My life experiences have taught me to be diligent, a strong communicator and I take pride in being able to handle whatever difficult details or task come my way.
Why Me?
I am in constant communication with my clients, I keep them fully informed throughout the buying and/or selling process. Your due diligence is also mine. My success is measured through your satisfaction every step of the way. Whether I’m helping an existing client, or meeting new ones, my goal is for a smooth transition throughout the process.

Tonya Box
Real Estate Broker
Home isn’t just where you live—it’s where your story unfolds. Mine began a new chapter in 1993 when I traded the bustling streets of Fort Worth, Texas, for the serene beauty of the Illinois Valley. As a single mom of four incredible children (three of whom are proud Illinois Valley High School alumni!), I’ve experienced firsthand what makes our community truly special. The way our neighbors support each other, how our schools nurture our children, and the genuine small-town warmth that you just can’t find anywhere else—these are the reasons I know I made the right choice in calling this valley home.
Since 1998, I’ve had the joy of helping others write their own Illinois Valley stories through real estate. Every property transaction is more than just a deal to me—it’s helping a family find their perfect haven, or supporting someone in their next life adventure. I believe in straight talk, hard work, and the kind of dedicated service that turns clients into neighbors and friends.
Whether you’re dreaming of your first home, ready to sell, or just curious about our beautiful valley’s real estate opportunities, I bring 25+ years of local market expertise and a genuine passion for helping people. Let’s work together to make your real estate dreams a reality—because here in the Illinois Valley, you’re not just buying a house, you’re becoming part of our story.

Kale Murray
Real Estate Broker
You must be here looking for a broker, I’m your man. How did I get here? In 2011 I graduated from North Carolina State University with a BA and I soon sought after a life in a west coast paradise. When I first visited the Illinois Valley I was drawn to the small community of do-it-yourself individualists. The clean air, the clean water, and the comfortable climate made this the obvious place for me to call home.
Why choose me?
Over the years I’ve built houses, barns, and greenhouses. I’ve plumbed and irrigated, and wired miles of electric. I have years of experience in homesteading and home building. These skills grant me the perspective to find your perfect home and the best real estate investments for you. As far as sales and marketing, I’m in your corner. If you’re looking to sell a property you need someone who can sell like I can. Be confident we will sell your home at the best price with a network of agents, online resources, and good old-fashioned salesmanship. From buying to selling I have the finest tools to suit your real estate needs.
