GO Team Goes Above and Beyond

Stacey and Joan were absolutely amazing throughout our entire home-buying experience. They went above and beyond every step of the way and made what could have been a stressful process enjoyable and exciting. They were always willing to show us as many homes as we wanted to see and never made us feel rushed or pressured. Their knowledge, responsiveness, and guidance during the inspection process were invaluable. They helped us navigate every detail, answered countless questions, and advocated for us along the way. Even after closing, they have continued to be a wonderful resource, offering support and assistance whenever we've needed it. Beyond being exceptional realtors, Stacey and Joan were simply a joy to work with. Their professionalism, dedication, and genuine care for their clients truly set them apart. We are incredibly grateful for everything they did for our family and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Exceptional communication, and professionalism

Exceptional communication, and professionalism

From the start, Joan was extremely attentive and absolutely knew the market well. She gave us guidance on price and how to prepare the house for sale and what not to spend money on. She has people who regularly work in association with her that helped us with cleaning and other services. Our house sold in 12 days and partially that was from the beautiful marketing materials that she made. We recommend Joan with full confidence and without reservation to anyone we know selling a home!

Joan Gareffa and Stacey Ownbey are amazing!

Joan Gareffa and Stacey Ownbey are amazing! They helped us find the perfect home for us, and over a couple year time frame, since we are moving to CO from out of state. Their expertise, patience, kindness, and ability to make the buying and selling process as painless as possible is invaluable. I trust them with my life and think you should too! I have referred multiple people to them and will again and again. I highly recommend them for your real estate needs.

We are so grateful that we decided to use Stacey Ownbey

We are so grateful that we decided to use Stacey Ownbey

We are so grateful that we decided to use Stacey Ownbey as our realtor to sell our home. From the first moment we spoke with her on the phone, to even tying up loose ends AFTER closing, she was hustling so hard for us! In the many homes we have bought and sold, we have never had a realtor work so hard for us. I mean this truly. At no extra cost to us, she not only had gorgeous photos taken of our house, but also virtual walk-through images, and a video, to help our property stand out. I never “believed” in the efficacy of open houses, but we received three offers and ALL of them were from open houses. She was constantly following up on leads and open house contacts, and in the end, that’s what got our house sold during a very difficult sellers’ market. In fact, she was able to get us two good offers on the same day, one of which was a full asking offer (with concession, which was fine by us). Throughout the process of selling, Stacey was the best communicator and we always felt like our opinions were valued and we were thoroughly kept in the loop. But she’s no pushover either, and gently gave us her professional opinion at times which helped guide us toward good decisions. I also need to shoutout to her partner Joan, who hosted some of the open houses, and served as a backup resource at times, and a knowledgeable voice to help us out. Closing was a breeze as they stayed on top of every date that needed something and helped us get in touch with necessary contractors to get work done. Stacey is so efficient at getting in touch with the right people and accomplishing items for closing, we couldn’t believe it. She was so enormously helpful during a very tricky move for us, and really went way above the call of duty to help us out. And as if all of that isn’t enough, she’s truly a good person, with a kind heart, who wants to make reasonable fair deals. This really aligned with our values and we are so glad that we were able to work with her and her team.

Joan helped me sell my condo, and net significantly more than what I was expecting before I called her. She navigated the whole sales process with skill and professionalism, and made it as painless as it can be. Thanks!

Working with Joan is great!

Joan is very professional and responds quickly to questions and needs. She helped us find the perfect home at an even better price than we expected and seeing how quickly the market goes and changes, she was as quick to make sure we were able to view as many homes as possible that we were interested in. It was also very fun working with her! Her bright personality and sense of humor makes the home shopping less stressful. We loved working with her.

Exceptional customer service

We had a great experience with Joanie for our new build townhome in Denver. She was great in communicating with our builder and helped guide our home to a successful finish! She went above and beyond with meeting us at our new home throughout the building process, going to the design center with us, and finding deals for us with new appliances. We would highly recommend using Joanie!

Extremely hard worker and enjoyable

Joan works hard for you. She is knowledgeable and creative in making attention-getting offers, which is essential these days, with every reasonably priced home getting multiple offers. She builds relationships to make the process easy, and is just plain enjoyable to spend the day with. We will and have recommended Joan to many friends.

Best agent I've had in three states

Best agent I've had in three states

I've bought and sold numerous homes around the country, three in the Denver/Boulder area. I've never met such a smart, thorough, competent agent. Her knowledge and negotiating skills are unsurpassed. And, bonus, she loves her job. That is evident by her always being excited about going to look at as many homes as it takes, never giving the impression that she is being inconvenienced . Love this agent!

Joan does an amazing job caring for her clients. She has a way of making you feel like you are the only people she is helping even though that is clearly not the case. She spends time understanding your needs and guides you through the tough process of writing multiple offers. We would highly recommend Joan to everyone! Can't wait to work with her again!!

Above and beyond

Joanie went above and beyond. This is not just being "nice" she literally drove all the way to Colorado springs several times to view this property for me and my family while we were in CA. not only that helped us find all the resources to resolve possible concerns with the house she even spent HOURS AT OUR inspection for us. Words can't express our gratitude and the pleasure it was doing business with her its very clear this isn’t just a check to her this is a passion for her and for others great soul and heart excited to do business down the road again with her hands down
