Joan Harder

For the past 20 years, I have guided investors and individuals towards making informed financial decisions. This is an incredible responsibility and one that I assume with dedication and integrity. My objective is to understand my clients' desires and work diligently to help achieve them. My passion for helping others stems from my childhood.

My values are deeply rooted in my Midwest upbringing. I was the youngest of 10 children and the only daughter of a fireman and a homemaker. Through them I learned service to others and commitment, but I also learned the power of good advice and how it can change someone's life. When I was a child, my parents worked hard to support their large family. They ultimately invested in real estate, a decision they made based in part to smart advice they received from a real estate agent. That advice, coupled with my parents' frugality, afforded us the opportunity to live a comfortable life.

I moved to Tampa Bay because it is the ideal location to enjoy a rich culture while reveling in spectacular weather. I make my home with my fur babies and my partner Ken, who will soon be retiring from the United States Air Force after 35 years of service. We both enjoy running, bicycling, tennis and paddle-boarding and can partake in these activities virtually year-round. The diverse culture in Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Sarasota allows us to indulge in plays, concerts and sporting events and dine at one of the many fabulous restaurants in the area.

I am very grateful for my parents and the life lessons they taught me. Those lessons made me who I am, and I feel compelled to pay it forward at every opportunity. I volunteer with community and non-profit groups and I support organizations that assist military families and first responders. Those values are the bedrock of my professional life and my mission is to place clients' needs first and offer sound advice so they too can achieve their goals and dreams. I want to assist them in making decisions that not only serve their interests but allow them to flourish in an environment that best suits their lifestyle.

I would be honored to help you find your new home or investment property.
