We are super pleased that Joe was our agent in buying a new home. He took the time to understand our needs, was patient and not pushy, and provided useful insights as we viewed a long parade of lake homes. Initially we were out of state, and he toured several homes for us and was very flexible, showing us homes when we were in town. Once we moved to Michigan, we found and bought a home with his help. He was patient, knowledgeable, communicative, honest, professional, and reliable!

We are so thankful for Joe's help and guidance in purchasing our new home. We have never used a realtor before and met a couple who were not very genuine. From our first meeting, we knew Joe was our guy. He was always on time (actually early) for all meetings, friendly and we always felt we were top priority, he had our best interest in mind. He was very patient and gracious with all our questions and going back and forth with the sellers to get all the answers and he was quick to respond to calls and texts. We are also grateful for his knowledge and expertise of lake homes and helping to guide us through making decisions & teaching us a few thing about owning a lake house. Joe walked us through every step of the home-buying process so we were confident in making our final choice. He knows the market very well and helped lead us in making the right offer. We enjoyed getting to know Joe through this process and would highly recommend him!

What can I say, he is great! I have purchased 3 homes from him and sold 1. Joe was there every step of the way explaining each aspect of the purchase and of the sale. He is a down to earth easy to get along with person. Not pushy, listens to your likes and dis-likes, trying to find that perfect home for you and does not bombard you with listings that are not your requirements. As far as a selling agent, he was well prepared with home prices that were compairable to my home, and helped with the staging of the furniture to make it more marketable.

Janelle was awesome. She was very through and had explained everything to me every step for the way. Even the seller said she was impressed with how quick and on-top of everything Janelle was! Highly recommend!

We had a very specific vision for our new home — we wanted a house with an acre of land and a pool in a city where large lots are rare. Joe made that dream a reality. He listened to what we wanted, was patient throughout the process, and ultimately helped us find the perfect property. When we found the right house, Joe jumped into action. He negotiated with the seller and helped us win the offer — all while staying within our budget. We truly felt like he had our best interests in mind every step of the way. Even after the offer was accepted, he continued to be incredibly helpful. He pointed out features of the house we hadn’t noticed, offering insight and advice that made us feel confident in our purchase. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend Joe to anyone buying a home.

Janel was fantastic, she dealt with the city and their absolute insane hurdles they threw at us, she managed thru buyers backing out, she negotiated a fair deal based on our circumstances. She answered all my questions, returned my messages promptly, she was pleasant and fantastic to work with! She was very understanding about my mom’s situation and letting me help facilitate the sale as well.

Joe Bertera is an excellent realtor. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, approachable, and communicative. He helped us through every aspect of the sale and went above and beyond when it came to the closing. I would recommend him to all my friends and family for a listing and sale.

I am so appreciative of Janel and her staff they went above and beyond helping us work through the sale of a deceased relative. It went above asking she found all the paperwork we needed of unknown answers, and the process was flawless. Absolutely appreciative.

Janel was awesome through this experience. She was super knowledgeable and knew exactly what to look for. 10/10

Joe has been our trusted realtor for years, and he consistently delivers exceptional service. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and always keeps us informed throughout the process. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated and reliable realtor.

Joe was on top of everything and made the process completely smooth and painless

Buying it home can come with frustrations but there is no one better than Janel went above and beyond assisting myself and my kids. Always taking calls always answering questions and giving full explanations step by step. Truly amazing process.
