Joan was so helpful throughout the buying process. She was always available when we needed anything at all and was just lovely to work with. I highly recommend her!

We are so grateful for all Joans help in selling our mom’s house. Joan was professional, knowledgeable, and great to work with throughout the entire process. Thank you for making everything so smooth and keeping us informed every step of the way. We truly appreciate everything you did and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a great realtor!

We vetted a number of agents before we found Joan. None met our high expectations to act as our buyer agent; we wanted a proven track record and someone with deep knowledge of the local market. We were fortunate to finally locate her profile online, and when we met in person she was exactly who we needed. She understood our needs and wants, and helped us go through the process of refining our vision of what our next home should be, and ultimately buying it. Her personality and communication skills were perfect for moderating the highs and lows of house hunting. She remained grounded and was a positive influence throughout. When we got down to the negotiation stage, she helped us put together a deal that was a win-win for both buyer and seller. We would heartily recommend Joan to anyone needing assistance buying or selling a home in the Alachua region.

This experience can be difficult for a senior on their own. Joan handled it with care and professionalism! She was always positive and communicative about what was going on. She helped at all steps of the process from suggestions about staging to the cleaning at the end. I could not have picked anyone better as my agent. She was quick responding to any contact. She handled any issue that came up calmly and with experience. If I had to do this again, I would pick her without question.

Joan is a dedicated and thoughtful realtor who takes time to really understand the needs of everyone she is working with. Her communication and willingness to really dig into the details to keep us on track for closing was greatly appreciated. Even though we were out of state trying to purchase property, she made the transaction as simple and headache free as possible! Highly recommend!!

I cannot say enough good things about my experience working with Joan. She always made herself available, helped answer any questions or concerns efficiently and stayed on top of things right until closing. She takes the time and truly cares about her clients. Highly recommend!

Always available. She will find the answers if she doesn’t already know the answers. She is very knowledgeable and has the resources for pretty much everything, from helping you follow tedious instructions for a wiring process to the simplest of steps for transferring your utilities. Extensive market knowledge no matter what part of the county you are asking about. Extremely professional and at the same time super personable keeping you at ease at all times

We had to sell houses to buy a house. Joan walked us through each step with amazing ease. She took the stress out of the process. She was more than willing to explain each step thoroughly and made sure we understood everything!!

We had what I would consider a difficult purchase. A lot of issues on the seller’s side & with the seller’s agent along with pressure by the seller to close quickly. Joan was able to connect us with a local surveyor and a closing attorney who were both over the top awesome in their own right and we were able to pull things together on extremely short notice. She went above and beyond with communication, she was always accessible & we were able to get answers by text, email or phone any time we had a question or issue. She is extremely knowledgeable in all things real estate obviously from her years of experience and confidently guided us through the entire process. She was an awesome liaison between the seller who I had lost all patience for. And had it not been for Joan’s hard work, patience & persistence I would have walked away from the sale. Joan has been a local home town realtor for years. As a life long resident of Alachua I’ve seen her name in the realty circle for many years but this was my first experience in having her handle a real estate transaction. I have no hesitation in recommending her or Horizon Realty, you will feel welcome, her casual approach will make you feel like family & she will go above & beyond your expectations to make things happen.

Joan was very knowledgeable and helpful in selling our home. She was always available with answers to our questions, came with local knowledge, and made the process seamless. So happy that we sold our home with her!

Ms. Sroka was so easy to work with. She was professional, reasonable in expectations, a very good communicator, always responded to questions. She was so helpful in understanding the process and being a super negotiator. I would recommend her to anyone! She helped me through the stress of buying AND selling at the same time!

Very responsive and knew the market.
