About Lisa
A life built
on purpose.
I’m Lisa W. Johnson — a real estate broker, business owner, competitive cutting horse rider, and lifelong entrepreneur rooted in the heart of North Carolina.
My husband Jamie and I have been doing life together since we were thirteen years old. We co-founded Performance Glass, Inc. in 1995 and built it into a multimillion dollar commercial glazing company — the hard way, over thirty years, side by side.
At 60, I opened Performance Property Partners — my own boutique real estate brokerage. Not because I had to. Because I wasn’t done building things.

Three worlds.
One life.
01 — The Farm
Horse Life &
The Arena
From the NCHA Derby in Fort Worth to the cutting pen on my Benson farm — horses have shaped how I think, compete, and lead.
02 — Carolina Living
The Coast,
The Land, The Life
From the ICW in Hampstead to Lake Tillery to the sandy fields of Johnston County — I sell the Carolina life because I live it.
03 — Building Things
Business,
Grit & Growth
Thirty years of building companies, leading teams, and starting over when the timing was right. Entrepreneurship isn’t a title — it’s a way of being.
I built this at 60. I wasn’t done yet.
