About Joe
I know from my own experience buying and selling homes that not only is it one of the largest financial investments you can make it can be emotionally draining as well. The process requires guidance from a dedicated real estate professional throughout.
Prior to becoming a full time real estate agent I had a successful career spanning 22 years with a local financial institution most recently as the CIO. During my career in banking I became very familiar with the real estate process as a residential and commercial Business Development Officer guiding hundreds of clients through the borrowing process.I also served as the bank's Community Reinvestment Officer promoting financial education to low income residents, promoting various housing programs and assistance to local charitable organizations. I served on the board of Rebuilding Together Montgomery County and assisted Habitat for Humanity on multiple local housing initiatives. The skills I learned in banking translate well to real estate.
I do business throughout Maryland but have chosen to specialize in the town of Damascus and surrounding communities. It is the place I have chosen to raise my own family because of the wonderful schools, convenient commercial district, extensive rural areas and all around slower pace of life. Thank you for reading my profile and if you are considering a move to the Damascus area or need to sell your home please give me a call at (301) 370-5560 or email joehowertonsales@gmail.com

Joe is the best! He impressed me every time we went to see houses. He checked EVERYTHING out - systems, windows, appliances, and noticed things I would never have even thought to look at. In a short time, I realized I could trust Joe to always keep my best interests in mind. He made sure I ended up with a cute little house that is just perfect for my circumstances now and in the future. My sons and I are very happy in our new home! I have and will recommend Joe to anyone who wants to work with someone who is honest and straightforward. Thank you, Joe!

We decided to go with Joe after meeting with a realtor from one of the big brokerages who seemed very disinterested in our first-time homebuyer price range. Best decision we've made in this process! Joe is always responsive, nights and weekends, and the level of personal attention is unbeatable. He's coordinated showing after showing and acted as our proxy with everyone from HOAs to contractors. The guidance he's given and the research he's done on our behalf has been invaluable, and we're looking forward to closing on our first house with him shortly! Emily Glasgow Zillow Review 03/24/2015

My partnership just closed on a renovation home through an auction website. Joe was invaluable during the atypical transaction and was able to keep every detail in order. I had many questions and he was always available and has a fantastic knowledge of the process. I look forward to working with Mr. Howerton in the future. Stacy Mask Zillow Endorsement 05/24/2015
