Joan Ryder was immediately responsive to my initial inquiry about the sale, and every issue thereafter. She was very quick to suggest an appropriate selling price, and took care of so many details that would have been difficult for me. We had a buyer right away, and Joan helped negotiate to get the best selling price overall. She was in communication with me throughout the process, right up to the closing. Overall a great selling experience! I would recommend Joan Ryder if you need an experienced, smart, and reliable real estate agent.

I was in the mortgage industry for over 25 years. I knew Joan has one of the top agents in the industry. When it came time to sell my Mother’s house I reached out to out to Joan. I knew she would handle the sale quickly and efficiently. She marketed the property so effectively, we received higher than the asking price in less than 48 hours on the market. I have dealt with over a thousand agents in the course of my career. I dealt with some great agents. Joan remains the best I have ever worked with. I highly recommend her to anyone selling or buying a home in Harford County.

"I have happily worked with Joan Ryder for over 18 years, and she is truly unmatched. Her expertise, unparalleled business knowledge, and deep standing as a well-respected community leader make her the absolute best choice. My children have also trusted her to purchase their homes, proving she is the go-to realtor for generations. Joan and her entire team made the whole process completely seamless from start to finish. I would highly recommend their exceptional services to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!"

Joan and Brenda are the kind of rock stars who know every inch of the real estate business and provide expert guidance to make you feel completely at ease. When our dad passed away, Mom wanted a home with a smaller yard in a quiet Bel Air community. Brenda and Joan delivered, selling Mom's 1-acre home and helping her make the move to Bel Air. For the last 14 years, Mom thoroughly enjoyed her lovely house and the convenience of having family and friends nearby. I’ve bought and sold more than a half-dozen homes, and I cannot fathom working without top real estate professionals like Joan and Brenda to lead the way. Their decades of skilled market knowledge and negotiation make the experience highly rewarding. Not to mention, they are truly lovely people who care deeply for their their clients.

Joan was an incredible, reliable relator. She worked with me to find the perfect fit. I definitely recommend her!

As a first-time homebuyer, I had an excellent experience working with Mrs. Joan. She guided me through every step of the process with clarity and patience, making what could have been overwhelming feel smooth and manageable. She was consistently responsive and took the time to answer all of my questions, even outside of normal business hours. I highly recommend her services.

Ms Ryder worked very hard to sell my property. She was truly a nice person. She was knowledgable in her real estate issues and kept me informed. She was good at negotiations and professionalism. I appreciated all she did for me.

Always stayed in touch

I called Joan Ryder in April 2025 the interest rate was sky high everyone was putting there properties on the market Joan and her team did a great job putting everything together from inspection pictures social media everything was great when it went live a ton of views and people started the interaction. This home was the most viewed and shown property in it's zip code the house was a nice clean property with only 1 bathroom and no steps to go down in the basement inside that was the only kick back with the property. Joan kept a positive attitude with the showing and views still leading in my zip code and many houses on the market .Joan would stay in contact with me and she would suggest our next move and I never doubted her one time. Some people tried and wanted the property but things did not work in their favor. The time came and Joan advised me this was the best way to go we did. I left everything to Joan she took care of everything notified me each and every step of the way until the end. We met with everyone on Friday the last day of the month and settled. The end it was a long road but I did nothing and worried about nothing. In these time and days you can't find many to any people and companies to go above and beyond so you don't have to worry about that issue so you can concentrate on your business. Thank you Joan Ryder for everything and for doing your job like no other. Good luck and thanks again for everything. Tim Farmer
