SJ Commercial Advisors is proud to announce that Sheila Johnson, CCIM, Founder, CEO, and Broker of Record, has been recognized by Marquis Who’s Who for her leadership and contributions to commercial real estate.
Sheila has built her career on integrity, service, and meaningful relationships. Today, she is a trusted commercial real estate advisor for business owners, healthcare providers, investors, landlords, and tenants throughout northern Minnesota. Her professional journey began in healthcare, where she spent more than 15 years as a registered nurse working in intensive care, trauma care, emergency medicine, and nursing leadership before transitioning into commercial real estate in 2005.
A Career Built on Service
The experience Sheila gained in healthcare continues to shape the way she serves her clients. Whether she is guiding a healthcare provider through a medical office acquisition, helping a local entrepreneur find the right location, or assisting investors with commercial opportunities, she believes every transaction should be built on honesty, communication, and long-term relationships.
Sheila first established a strong foundation in residential investment and development. She later found her passion in commercial real estate and founded SJ Commercial Advisors to provide personalized, knowledgeable representation for buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants, and investors across northern Minnesota.
Today, the brokerage specializes in commercial sales, leasing, investment properties, development opportunities, and healthcare real estate.

Sheila earned the prestigious Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designation, one of the highest professional achievements in commercial real estate. She continues to invest in education, stay informed on market trends, and provide exceptional service to every client she represents.
