Michael in action

A history of excellence

Michael Johnston has built a career defined by integrity, attention to detail, and a commitment to exceptional service. With leadership roles across world-renowned brands such as Hilton, Four Seasons Hotels, and Sentient Jet, he developed a deep understanding of luxury standards and the importance of anticipating client needs. These experiences shaped his signature approach—discreet, highly personalized, and always professional.

For nearly two decades, Michael successfully owned and operated a specialty food, wine, and hospitality business on Cape Cod, earning a loyal clientele through consistency, trust, and an unwavering focus on quality. This foundation in both corporate leadership and independent entrepreneurship now drives his work at M Johnston Properties, where he brings a seasoned, service-driven mindset to every property under his care.

Professional property management in Sonoma

Established in Sonoma, Tailored Property Service

In 2021, Michael relocated to Sonoma in search of a new chapter—one that combined his passion for service with the lifestyle and landscape he had long admired. Noticing a gap in personalized, hands-on property management services, Michael launched M Johnston Properties with the goal of offering the same level of care and discretion that had defined his career. In just a few years, the business has grown steadily, fueled by word-of-mouth, trusted relationships, and a deepening connection to the local community.

Michael has fully embraced life in Sonoma, where he enjoys the perfect blend of relaxed living and rich experiences. Whether exploring the region’s world-class food and wine, enjoying the Tuesday Night Market, or engaging with neighbors and clients, he finds daily inspiration in the area's charm and character. For Michael, Sonoma isn’t just a place to do business—it’s home.
