Rooted in Texas.

Founder's story

Experience That
Builds Value.

Chris Johns, Founder and Managing Member of Lonestar
Christopher Johns
Founder & Managing Member

I founded Lonestar on the belief that real estate can create stronger communities, better homes, and a lasting legacy.

I grew up in Oak Ridge and spent decades in the The Woodlands area, watching Montgomery County evolve. My career has taken me through business development, building systems, construction, facilities, and national account management. Lonestar combines that experience with a personal passion for real estate — and a commitment to improving the places people call home.
