JoAnn Aycock

This is the 2nd time I’ve used Joann for my real estate needs. She has consistently provided professional help, reach to potential buyers, efforts in showings, providing updates. She’s a tremendous person I’m proud to now count as a friend!

The house I was trying to sell had been backwashed by Hurricane Ian, resulting in the removal of drywall 4 ft above the floor and destruction ot all floor materials. Contents were a total loss, and while our flood insurance paid for the deconstruction, they refused to pay for the reconstruction. When that stage was close to done, JoAnn started her journey with me. I live in Michigan, so JoAnn was the contact person for everything happening. I had thought renovations were complete, but JoAnn found a number of areas that needed more work. Fortunately for me, she had a skilled handyman who could rectify many of the issues. She started holding open houses, only to discover a leak in the kitchen just before one of them. I had to replace the roof, and JoAnn helped me choose the color and shape of the shingles. But the old house paint did not look good with the new roof. JoAnn and I selected a silvery white and she secured the painters. The house looked really good in the photos JoAnn arranged to have done, and she restarted the open houses. The summer was over by then and the real estate market was very slow. It was January before we had any interest in the house, and in the meantime more problems cropped up. Trooper that she is, JoAnn once again stepped up to help resolve the issues. I can’t tell you how often I thanked God for JoAnn and JoAnn for her help. She worked miracles with the county to close a 3year old open permit. That involved installing new parts because code had changed in the interim. At these same time many of the electrical panel breakers blew out (probably from a power surge) and had to be replaced, but the garbage disposal and water heater were still not working. She got those resolved in the Knick of time before the closing. There were also sagas with the pool heater not working, fogged windows, a shower door sticking, and others I don’t want to recall. JoAnn saved me every time, professionally each time, with good humor and a minimum of fuss.

This was the first time my husband and I bought a home from a distance! JoAnn made the entire process so seamless from beginning to end. She communicated with us frequently and kept us on track giving us recommendations along the way. She handled all the local meet and greets with the inspectors in a professional manner! We are so happy with our new home!

From the first email/phone conversation with JoAnn, she has been one of the best Realtors we have worked with. She really spent time strategically thinking about the best way to market our property. During the process she was always one step ahead of everyone else. No detail was ever overlooked, and she always made sure she took that extra step to ensure our needs were met. She's a pleasure to work with and wishing her much success in the future!
