“To be successful, you have to have your heart in your business, and your business in your heart”

As a 40-year resident, Joan has acquired the skills necessary to succeed in this industry. With 15 years as a Realtor and 7 years as a broker, she is one of only a few, who have dual experience at length, as both a Residential Resale agent and a New Home Construction Sales agent.  Using her unique approach and innovative marketing capabilities, she can skillfully represent you and negotiate for you in both arenas.

WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERent

Anyone can check for properties on real estate websites, but how do you know when you are ready? 

Would you like to have an in-depth discussion regarding your home’s value? 

Do you need to discuss Return of Investment or Return on Investment?

Are you prepared to meet the current challenges of the existing seller’s market?

There is so much to consider and so much to discuss!

the time is now!


Considering selling?

As your Listing agent, I am equally accomplished in selling Residential Resale homes. I am happy to offer you a no-obligation comparative market analysis based on your improvements, existing physical condition and current market statistics.  Everyone recognizes today that a Realtor must be proficient in the use of social media for marketing their homes.  I am that agent and I am happy to share with you how I will give your home its maximum exposure. The best client-agent relationships thrive upon open communication, loyalty and trust. I hope you’ll provide me with an opportunity to earn your trust and exceed your expectations.

 

Considering Buying?

Please let me know about targets you seek or are of specific interest.  I can narrow the parameters to help obtain exactly what your search requirements are.  I can also set up alerts to monitor the “coming soon” listings, prior to them hitting the market for sale. Let me direct you to school rankings/ratings and neighborhood stats.

What People Are Saying

 

“We were so blessed to work with Joan. She was extremely knowledgeable and supportive during the entire home buying experience, from the moment we signed the purchase contact until the keys were delivered. Truly an advocate with our best interests at heart, and always willing to go the extra mile consistently demonstrating a client-centric mentality”

— Ben and Diana

“My wife and I were absolutely blown away by your professionalism, friendliness, and customer service. Throughout our interaction you made yourself available to us and we never felt “in the dark” at any point in our new home purchase. Whether it was something you COULD help us with or if it was technically NOT your responsibility, it didn’t matter,  YOU OWNED IT regardless, and it felt less like a customer to salesman relationship and more like a friend helping another friend! We were truly blessed to get you as our sales consultant.”

— Brian, Rahele and Brayden

“I met Joan when shopping for a new construction house, which I eventually bought. Joan was very helpful from the very beginning. She was very prompt and detailed in answering all my questions and helped me understand the entire process. She is very knowledgeable, detailed, and driven. I highly recommend her. She knows real estate, the applicable law, and all the nuances involved and highly deserves your trust.”

— Steve, First time home buyer.

“Joan handled my purchase of a home in the Sienna community in California, and she was a great sales agent.  I was moving from out of state during the COVID pandemic, which caused a lot of anxiety and uncertainty, and Joan was great at keeping the lines of communication open so that I was regularly apprised of the status of my move and mortgage.  She let me know of key deadlines and documents, she went over and above in taking photos of my home and the neighborhood, and she managed to use email, phone and text to keep me apprised in a timely fashion.  I'm sure she will bring that communications savvy, professionalism and fun, open personality to her new resale brokerage and real estate endeavors.”

— Peter

“Joan is definitely the most professional highly informed toughest negotiator we’ve met…Highly recommended!”

— orlando and mayra

“I had the pleasure of working with Joan on a rental. She was thorough and professional. She did a lot more for me than I ever expected. She has an attention to detail and an intimate connection to the local market you’ll appreciate. She’s a partner, with a problem-solving mindset. And most importantly, she’s honest and of high integrity.  I was fortunate to have selected Joan and would gladly recommend her services.”

FRANK D

”Joan was extremely diligent in helping us obtain our dream home in Cardiff. This was an off-market property that we were renting, and ultimately she was not only able to secure us the home we so dearly wanted, but more importantly, in this extremely competitive market, she secured the home for us at the absolute best price. She was knowledgeable in recognizing the needed repairs our home warranted, and she was aggressively able to call out the comps, the costs of the upgrades and repairs needed, convincing the sellers to accept our offer. We closed escrow successfully and in a very timely manner. We recommend Joan for any real estate transaction as she has vast experience, she set the proper expectations and made certain we had a full understanding of the purchase contract. She directed us toward the proper parties for inspections, repairs, and otherwise. Joan is our realtor for life!”
