1 Grant Square,Born and raised in Hinsdale, Illinois, Johnny Kloster serves the area he knows best. As a Hinsdale native, Johnny understands the perks of living in this community. He personally enjoys how these neighborhoods are close to the city, yet tucked away enough to avoid the hustle and bustle.
For the past five years, Johnny has served clients in Hinsdale, Clarendon Hills, Western Springs, Burr Ridge, Oak Brook, Willowbrook, Darien, Glen Ellyn, Elmhurst, Willow Springs, Indian Head Park, LaGrange, and Downers Grove.
Johnny holds a Bachelor of Science in International Hospitality and a Bachelor of Arts in Marketing. Before entering real estate, he built his professional foundation in management, sales, and marketing.
His real estate journey began by working for a flipper, where he spent six years gaining hands-on experience with contracts, budgeting, and the renovation process. During this time, he successfully sold numerous homes across Chicagoland and learned how to market and sell in diverse communities.
Johnny’s flipping background is what sets him apart from other agents. His knowledge of budgeting and housing costs positions him as an exceptional negotiator who helps clients secure the best value.
For sellers, Johnny’s renovation insight helps maximize listing prices.
For buyers, his trained eye allows him to envision potential through layout changes—such as removing a wall or reconfiguring a floor plan—to bring dream homes to life.
Johnny has built trusted relationships with many high-end clients and specializes in luxury properties. His niche lies in serving buyers and sellers of close million-dollar homes and higher in the Hinsdale area and surrounding suburbs.
One of his proudest career moments was a renovation project in Hinsdale, where his vision helped a client’s home value rise from $1.6 Million to $2 Million through a $200,000 renovation.
Johnny’s track record of client success has earned him notable awards and recognition in the real estate industry. He has proven himself in the short sale segment and has become known as both a foreclosure expert and a luxury home specialist.
When Johnny isn’t working with clients or diving deeper into design, he prioritizes time with his family. His children, Cameron and Kendall, keep him busy and proud. They are the fourth generation of Klosters being raised in Hinsdale, something Johnny values deeply.
Outside of real estate and family life, his personal interests include golfing, the NFL, and cars.
