Jeff and Carrie Johnson are the passionate co-founders behind GROW Property Group. When they were first dating, they would often find themselves driving through beautiful neighborhoods just to gaze at the homes. One could say their intrigue with real estate began early into their relationship.
In 2007, Jeff and Carrie purchased their first single family home investment property back in their home state of Ohio. A couple of purchases later they were investing in Texas real estate. They found their investment portfolio growing along with their vibrant young family. The Johnson kiddos have grown up visiting rental homes, painting, planting, pruning and racing up and down empty hallways just killing time while waiting for Mom and Dad to finish their business at hand.
Jeff and Carrie have strategically pivoted their investment portfolio expansion into multifamily syndication. They are both active and passive investors in over 300 units. They are thrilled to continue to GROW and are eager to put their investors on the path to financial success, too.
Come, GROW with us!

Carrie Johnson
Co-Founder
Carrie’s greatest challenge has always been turning off her work mode. When she has a goal or project she is working, her drive to complete it and excel in results is adamant. While working in finance, Carrie ranked highest in sales in her district in her first year and never looked back. She gained underwriting, P/L management and employee managements skills when she was promoted to branch manager. But her entrepreneurial drive led her to leave the corporate world and begin her own business. Carrie cold called on vendors, partners and clients, put operations in place, continually grew her sales year over year, managed her own employees and delivered a product that was a niche’ in her market. Before moving to Texas, she successfully sold her business.
Carrie has been involved with single family home investments since 2007. While Jeff may be the initial underwriter “numbers person”, Carrie sees the potential and works within the budget to create profitable rental homes their tenants enjoy living in. Once Jeff approves of the numbers, Carrie approves of the properties. After a purchase, it’s Carrie’s responsibility to negotiate and work with contractors to finish up to par and in a timely fashion.
Carrie is passionate about her family of three fantastic kiddos and loving husband. She’s often busy managing the schedules. Much enjoyment comes from watching her kiddos grow, play sports and find their talents. Carrie is also an avid dog lover. She has volunteered with numerous rescues over the past ten years. Together with her family, they have fostered over 20 rescue dogs. In fact, part of their investment business mission has been to “give back to charity”. And rescue organizations are high on that list.
