Joy truly embodies what it means to be an expert in her field. Her professional service was flawless, but what set her apart was her approach to advising us. She leveraged her extensive experience to guide us through every step, providing us with all the information we needed while respecting our final decisions. This made the entire process smooth and stress-free. We're so grateful for her help in selling our house.

We can’t thank Joy enough for their exceptional help in purchasing our new home. The process was far from simple — we had a difficult seller, and we were buying from out of state with only limited opportunities to view homes in person. Despite these challenges, Joy stayed proactive, communicative, and patient every step of the way. They coordinated everything seamlessly, kept us well informed, and always had our best interests in mind. Thanks to their expertise and persistence, we are now in a home we love!

We had a good experience with Joy Schwarting as our Realtor, she was active and stayed in contact with us start to finish. When we had questions, Joy either had an answer or found the answer quickly. Our house was in good condition, but the staging and photography made it look even better. Joy encouraged us to get ready for the listing and then showings for a particular weekend and it paid-off. We had an offer within a week for our price. I would not hesitate recommending Joy to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Have Joy Schwarting sell your home- we closed in 28 days! We had many potential buyers right away and an offer for full price in just 4 days because of the work she did! Best of all she told us that she would take care of everything and she did. She did it all, studied our area so our home was perfectly priced, had a professional stager come in and set everything up, and hired a photographer to take beautiful interior photos, even aerial photos, so buyers could understand the close proximity to Paw Paw Lake. Joy handled all the negotiations professionally and is also an incredibly kind and thoughtful person. I bought another house from her early 2024 and she was terrific to work with as a buyer too. I highly recommend her for buying and selling your home. A Rating!
From 2024 purchase: Joy was terrific- I absolutely would be thrilled to work with her again! I came away from this with the understanding that Joy's top priority isn't just a quick buck, her priority is the people. She constantly worked to take care of my needs and continues to help me find folks who specialize in particular repairs and other support for my home. I haven't bought a house before, needed a fixer-upper and someone to explain all the details of each step to me and she did it every step of the way. After finding the house I wanted she walked me through the inspection processes to make sure I wasn't going to get in over my head. She worked with the seller so I could have access whenever I needed, let me take my time at every visit, negotiated with the seller, and answered every question I had. Joy made the entire house buying process smooth and easy. A++++!

Joy was such a great help with our house sale. She was willing to come out early(almost two years) before we were ready to list. She gave us great advice throughout the process of preparing for listing. When listing finally came, she was right there for us from showings to offers and closing. I highly recommend her expertise.

We used Joy when we purchased our first home/starter home in 2021. She helped us find a home that was perfect us at the time. As our family grew we began needing a bigger house. Joy patiently spent 2 years with us and we hunted for our forever home. She understood our needs and helped us make an informed decision. We moved in this week and the house was worth the wait. We love it!! We will be using Joy again to sell our starter house.

Joy is an exceptional realtor and I recommend her.
Upon looking for a realtor, Joy's high ratings and also her professional market analysis presentation she provided is what led me to picking Joy as my realtor.
As a recent seller, and having my property 300 miles away, I felt very confident in her. Joy excelled in all aspects of the selling process to maximize the value of my property.

We met Joy years ago when we were searching for a vacation home with easy access for our son with special needs. Her kindness and comfort, along with her expertise, helped us find our first vacation home. Our purchase went smoothly and very well. Later, we decided we needed a change to be closer to our children and grandchildren. Again, we trusted Joy to guide us through this transition. Her professionalism and assistance helped us navigate this change. Joy has been a wonderful friend, and we truly appreciate all of her help.

Joy was a pleasure to work with and a consummate professional in all ways. Joy sold a home I owned in a state I don’t live in. The property had location and views but the house on it was a mess primarily due to previous tenants mistreatment of it. Joy had the house and grounds cleaned, previous tenants garbage and abuse removed and repaired respectively and then showed it as best she could. Joy did all the above as I was out of state and could not. She then arranged for an out of state title person to come and guide my wife and I thru the closing paperwork and attended the closing on her end. Throughout the process she kept me updated, provided sage advice and closed the deal quickly . I highly recommend Joy and will use her again should I be buying or selling in her area.

Joy is the best realtor I've ever worked with. She is very knowledgeable about the area and her record as a top realtor is well earned with her extensive understanding and expertise in the real estate market. She is incredibly proactive and responsive. I live out of state and had a rental property to sell. She took over the reins from my property manager immediately to list my condo. I had comps etc. even before we officially signed the paperwork to list with her. She helped price the condo competitively and get it listed within a week with being staged and photographed. It sold within a weekend with multiple offers. She helped get the property sale ready by giving suggestions of minimal work to be done, and by providing local contacts to work with who were trustworthy. She was hands on and helped me work through any complications that arose. I can't say enough about how supportive, and helpful Joy was during the negotiations. It was evident that she had my best interest in mind. I'd known of Joy through friends of mine who sold their house through her years ago. I'd kept in touch with Joy and asked for advice over the years on whether to sell or keep renting while I was between property managers. She always gave unbiased feedback. If you are looking for a realtor who is dedicated, knowledgeable, and exceptional in every aspect, I highly recommend Joy!

My husband and I started looking for a home in September and Joy was randomly selected via a zillow search to be our realtor for the specific house we wanted to tour. We saw a few more homes with her throughout that month and decided we wanted to exclusively work with Joy! She was very patient with us and our kids (1 and 2 years old). She was available to show us houses quickly and was honest and upfront when we asked questions about the property. She also recommended the HVAC company we used for inspection, cleaning services for move a in clean, and a local VA lender that we used for our loan. Joy helped make our home purchase A GREAT EXPERIENCE!

Joy was our realtor when we bought our house, and when we sold it, the conversation about "Who should we hire to help us sell it?" took about two seconds and consisted of "Joy."

Joy helped with negotiation and staging and helped us make sure our house looked its best. When I had questions like "Why should we pay the buyer's agent's commission?" she was quick with good, thorough answers that made it easy to understand the changes.

We explained what we wanted to do and that we had a bridge loan. Joy helped us set the price, but In the first couple weeks we didn't get a lot of traffic so I was worried that we had priced it too high. Joy encouraged us to stay the course. We lowered the price a little bit and I was anxious and worried that maybe we should lower the price more, but we decided to trust Joy.

We got an offer for our asking price at right around the thirty day mark.

I'm confident we would've gotten tens of thousands less for our home if I had not decided to "LISTEN TO JOY, SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE'S DOING." I'm so very glad we trusted Joy to help us sell our house, and if I had it to do over again in her market. I would absolutely hire her again.

I cannot recommend Joy highly enough. From start to finish, she provided an exceptional level of service that exceeded all my expectations. When it was time to sell my house, Joy went above and beyond. She expertly staged the home to highlight its best features, making it incredibly appealing to potential buyers. She also took the initiative to find reliable contractors for necessary maintenance, both inside and outside the house, ensuring that the property was in prime condition before listing. In addition to these efforts, Joy played a crucial role in negotiating offers. Her expertise in this area was invaluable, helping to secure the best possible deal and navigate the complexities of the transaction with ease. What truly set her apart was her commitment to reducing my stress during the move. Even after I relocated to a different state, she continued to handle every aspect of the sale with professionalism and care. Her dedication made the process smooth and worry-free during a very busy time. If you’re looking for a realtor who combines exceptional service with genuine care, Joy is the one to choose. Her support was instrumental in making the entire selling process seamless and successful.

My wife and I found that Joy Schwarting was an excellent professional seller realtor, and buyer realtor.

She found the best price we could get by objectively comparing similar houses. Thus, we could get a higher price than the other suggested.

She was a great communicator. She always answered all kinds of questions with supporting data.

She was fun to work with. Any time she called, good news came: brighter ways to close quickly, get ready to show the house nicely and find someone who could clean all around the house, inside and out, with a great deal.

Speed and courage were her strengths. She completed every process quickly and did not hesitate to overcome any obstacles. She eventually found a cash buyer. Thus, we closed far earlier than we expected.

She knew the market trend, and with her thorough knowledge, she courageously started at the highest possible price to see if there were any interests.

Surprisingly, her insights found many buyers. Then, among them, she had the intuitive wisdom to select the best possible buyer who wanted our home. Therefore, she will become an excellent buyer realtor to the buyer. Of course, at the same time, she was a fantastic, grateful seller realtor to us.

She was generous to us. Her gifts were numerous: the home inspection before putting our home on the market, taking excellent professional photos for listing, doing final cleanings for us, lots of visiting homes to do small errands with distant sellers, insights and knowledge of home selling and buying, and many more. Thank you, Joy, for being there when we needed you most! You thus became our lifetime best friend to us.

Recommendation: I highly recommend Joy Schwarting to anyone who wants to sell or buy a house joyfully and confidently. She will do her best, and you will be pleased to choose her because she will do her job as if she were you.

Joy did a wonderful job and was very attentive to details. She walked us through the whole process, printing and organizing all documents, and was always available for a call if we were ever concerned or confused about what we needed to do. Being unfamiliar with the area or country, she was even willing to allow us to mail things to her address when we didn't have a permanent address available yet. Joy always went above and beyond what she needed to do to make sure we were well taken care of. If you need someone to look out for you during your home search process, asking questions you wouldn't think of, you can count on Joy.
