Joan's Reviews

I've moved more than ten times in my life, and of all the agents I've worked with, Joan is the best.
Thorough, knowledgeable, honest and capable, I never doubted that Joan represented my best interests.
Always personable and professional, but tough when she needs to be...I'd recommend Joan to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in this part of Connecticut!

Joan is knowledgeable, helpful, and always willing to answer any questions I may have. It is a pleasure being able to work with Joan and learn from her.

Joan is tremendous. She works days and nights getting you what you want. She was my agent when I purchased my condo in 2018 and worked hard to see that things were done right. So I knew that she wouldn't sleep until I sold it. Even after a few bumps along the way she continued to do what had to be done. She got me my asking price after working 24/7. I would definitely recommend her if someone is looking to buy or sell.
