Malena Johnson is a Realtor associated with The Whitney Team at First Team Real Estate, serving clients in Huntington Beach and throughout Orange County and the Long Beach area, California.

As a member of the team, she contributes to a top-producing real estate group that has successfully closed over 690 career transactions and achieved more than $431 million in total sales volume. Born and raised in Huntington Beach, Malena brings a true local’s knowledge of the community she has always called home. She chose real estate for a career that would let her build a life for her family and be present for them, and today she helps her clients do the same.

She specializes in first-time home buyers, VA buyers, downsizers, and buyers moving back to the communities where they grew up. Malena holds a degree in criminology from California State University, Long Beach, and her background in how people think and communicate shapes her approach. She reads the room, asks the questions clients didn’t think to ask, and makes sure every client truly understands the process. From payment concerns to finding the right home in the right price range, Malena gets clients real answers, stays on top of every detail, and advocates for them with zero pressure.

Outside of real estate, Malena works in hospitality at Viaje in Belmont Shore and spends her free time at the gym lifting weights. Whether at the restaurant or in real estate, she has always loved taking care of people.
