Joy Gilkeson

ZillowVERIFIED

I was considering selling a rental property on my own but went with the realtor who helped us find our current residence about a decade ago, Joy Gilkeson, as a seller-side real estate agent to avoid the learning curve. That decision turned out to be excellent. Joy pointed out small areas of improvement we could do ourselves that made a huge difference. She then advised us on showings and offers in a way that helped us pass on an offer at asking price (within a week of listing) so that we wound up with an offer that was high enough that the difference more than covered all commissions and expenses. Along the way, she had a constant eye on the properties with which we were competing and clearly takes every opportunity to find ways to give her clients an edge.

Joy was outstanding from start to finish with selling our home. She was always there to help and had great ideas with vast knowledge of our area. I highly recommend Joy for all your real estate needs! Thanks Joy!

Joy was a pleasure to work with, very kind, knowledgeable and professional, she always puts her clients first, always guiding them through the difficult process of buying or selling a home. I would recommend Joy to be your realtor for buying or selling a home.

Joy was as absolute pleasure to work with. This was my first time selling a property and she navigated me through the entire process beautifully. She stayed in regular contact to keep me updated on interested buyers and helped solve every question and concern I had along the way. I was thoroughly impressed with her work ethic and commitment to help us sell our property both quickly and for the best offer possible. Shes my realtor from now on, and I recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate agent.

I was a first-time, first-generation home buyer looking for a starter home for me and my parents. Because we're three strongly-opinionated people, we needed someone who could show us what each of us needed in our budget. That's where Joy came in. Where to begin! Even through the unpredictable market, Joy remained steadfast and enthusiastic. She knows the industry and market like the back of her hand, and, perhaps more importantly for our little family, she can share that wisdom and knowledge with ease, even to two folks whose first language is not English. As we searched for homes, she exhibited her keen eye for details and picked up on things issues realtors would not have. Consistently two steps ahead, armed with alacrity and professionalism, Joy was an absolute, well, Joy to work with. She is kind, patient, eager, and advises in a way that makes you feel comfortable enough to make your own choices, but also in a way that makes you feel like absolutely no questions are silly. She is responsive and swift, but always gives you time to feel and think through the options presented. She is the kind of person who will stop people in the street to get the answers you need if thats what it takes! Even after months of searching, she never gave up on us (and there were many moments when I was close to capitulating). It's because of Joy that this little immigrant family from Providence, originally from Cambodia, found an absolutely lovely first home in a beautiful neighborhood. Our lives are changed forever. Never did we ever think we'd be able to not only afford a home, but to find one so fitting for us, and in THIS market! If you're looking for the absolute best for the job, Joy is the one! We cant thank her enough!

Joy was a phenomenal realtor! She helped us find and close on a home quickly in a hot market during a relocation for our family. She was always responsive, making time for us even at odd hours and getting us in to see properties on a very constrained schedule. Her expertise helped us as we learned about the particularities of homes in our new community--for example common heating methods, septic systems, etc.--which were new to us. While we inspected kitchens and bedrooms, she ensured that we also looked closely at electrical boxes and oil tanks. She also proved to be an excellent negotiator on several key items as our purchasing process drew to a close. She has many good local contacts with service providers such as mortgage brokers and home inspectors that helped us along. Finally, Joy is a just a kind and caring person, who even befriended our young son.

Joy was absolutely incredible to work with. My fiance and I were first time homebuyers and we honestly had no idea what we were doing. Joy was able able to confidently walk the two of us through each step of the process. She was patient and kind and more than willing to put up with at least a couple very panicked late night texts and her quick responses really meant a lot to us. It really felt good knowing someone was 100% in our corner. I cannot say enough good things about Joy. This woman is a champ and you would be very lucky to have her on your side.
