What do Clients Say?

Joanie helped us to buy a new house and also to sell our old house quickly in a very challenging real estate market. She is extremely knowledgeable about the local market, inspections, and all the terms of the contracts. She brings a lot of experience and wisdom to the table, and we relied upon her expert advice on several occasions. After presenting all the information, she remains respectful of the client’s wishes in making a decision and moving forward. She has a good partner in Sue Beal, who can respond to anything and everyhting in her absence. Furthermore, Joanie is extremely professional, courteous, and friendly, and she was truly a pleasure to work with. I would recommend her wholeheartedly and would definitely work with her again if the need arose.

Rusty and Susan, buyer clients

Joanie is truly the most efficient, caring, “on top of things” person we have dealt with. She had ourconcerns at the top of her list during the entire process of buying our home. She even came to theclosing when she was sick because she wanted to “be there for us”. We give Joanie a “thumbs up” inall aspects. Our sincerest thanks and appreciation!

Robert and Glynda, repeat clients

We were more than satisfied with Joanie’s professional and courteous service. We both have busy careers and Joanie was always willing to work around our schedules. She demonstrated honesty, follow-through, and integrity at every stage of the process, from the initial meeting to the day of closing. The home-buying process was stressful and intimidating to us at times, but Joanie’s warm personality made us feel that our welfare was her primary concern. Specifically, she respected our desired price range and carefully researched the various options we could afford. Her expertise also helped us prioritize the characteristics we wanted in our new home.

Leah and Tim, first time homebuyers

Joanie was both friendly and professional. She is the 3rd agent that we’ve worked with in the 4 years we’ve been in Austin and is the only we’ll work with in the future.

Matt and Kathy, repeat clients

Thanks, once again, for getting me placed in my new home. I am enjoying the property very much. Your taking the time and making the efforts to show so many “varied” properties really helped me make a good decision. I could not have found a more fitting home for my needs. Retiring in Austin is really a “dream come-true” for me. You have been a major part of opening the door to a completely new chapter of my life’s journey.

Steve, relocating to Austin
