Joan did amazing job as a real estate agent. She guided us step by step on the process very carefully. We saw many houses before we finally closed the deal. She never rushed, always checked every details about the properties. We had so much fun learning about properties too. Highly recommend her to anyone who wants to buy a property. Thank you Joan!

We were dreading the process of finding a realtor as we were searching to buy. Thankfully, we ended up with Joan, and the experience couldn't have been more different! We were quite impressed with her thoughtful approach and her flexibility, as she stayed in constant contact with us. She was extremely knowledgeable about the specific areas where we were searching - down to details about the streets! When we finally fell in love, we were dismayed to discover that the house had 10 other offers, but Joan stayed calm and gave us a lot of thoughtful strategic advice. We were able to get the house AND stay within budget thanks to her excellent instincts! She seemed to work well with the sellers realtors, and stayed in close contact with us all the way through the process. We were really pleased that she was incredibly responsive at every turn, whether she was renegotiating our price after receiving the inspection report, or helping us gather quotes from various contractors. She even assisted us after the house was sold, detecting that someone was trying to run a scam by pretending that our newly-purchased house was available for rent aEUR" she immediately noticed and notified us, and reported the scammers so that we weren't being flooded. We barely even had to deal with it! All in all, we are SO GLAD that we were able to meet Joan. She even gave us some seed packets to celebrate when we closed on the home, a sweet personal touch given how excited we are about gardening aEUR" and were proud to announce that the first seedlings are as happy in their home as we are. Thank you, Joan!

TL; DR: Working with Joan will be one of the best real estate decisions you make. Joan came highly recommended but we were still blown away by her professionalism, kindness, efficiency, and expertise. As first time home buyers, imagine our joy when our very first offer was accepted, beating out multiple other offers. We got the home at list price with seller credit and repairs, and we had keys just over a month after working with Joan! 1) HOME SEARCH - Joan quickly got to know our priorities in terms of price, neighborhoods, lifestyle, tastes, contract terms, and preferences that fit our needs and risk budget. After the initial meeting we knew we could put our complete faith in Joan because she was so knowledgeable. Joan walked us through all the aspects of buying a home, the timeline, contingencies and the escrow process. She would point out details that we wouldn?t have noticed otherwise and even called up each seller?s agent to find out more about the seller?s situation and information that was not listed on the MLS. As first time home buyers our calls would often drag on for over 45 mins each but she never once rushed us and ensured we felt comfortable at every step! Joan always made us feel like we were her top priority; she was so responsive over texts, emails or calls at all times. 2) OFFER - In a hot real estate market, we knew that the difference between an accepted offer could be hours, not days. In every paperwork instance, Joan had the documents pre-drafted to ensure there was no delay, quickly making last minute adjustments at our request. As new buyers with no experience, Joan expertly guided us to make our offer as competitive as possible. 3) ESCROW - As soon as our offer was accepted, Joan immediately lined up inspectors for the home that were professional, courteous and thorough. She project-managed and orchestrated simply every aspect behind the scenes from home viewings to inspection to escrow, ensuring that we always knew the next step ahead and had time to prepare or gather documents. As an experienced seller?s agent with an eye for design, Joan made thoughtful suggestions to improve or update our home throughout the process. There is no way we would have been able to buy our first home without Joan. If you have the opportunity to work with Joan (she sure is popular!) I cannot recommend her enough. Not only did we buy our dream first home, we also gained a friend! Thanks Joan!

We are so grateful for Joan! My husband and I met Joan at an open house over two years ago and instantly connected. We began our search together until the pandemic hit. With all the uncertainty, we decided to take a break from house hunting. Joan became a good friend over these past two years by checking in on us and even offering to drop off groceries! In early 2022 we decided to continue our search for our first home. With this competing market, we knew it would take us some time and multiple offers. Thanks to Joan, we were able to get our offer accepted within 2 months and on our 4th offer! With her guidance and expertise, we were accepted amongst multiple offers in our dream location. As first time home owners, she guided us through the escrow process and no question was too small. We cannot recommend her enough!! The only downside of buying our new home is we won?t be seeing Joan every weekend but she is now apart of our family.
