Joanne was the selling agent for my home and I fell in love with her at the closing table! We've kept in touch for years and was the only person I considered when I decided to sell my Mt. Airy house. She wasn't just my Realtor, she was my advisor, therapist and comedian all at once! Joanne has worked with some of my friends as well and we all agree, she's amazing!

I have done at least 7 deals with Joanne, both buying and selling properties. She has always been available for any questions, ready with ideas and is a master at writing winning offers. In a competitive market, Joanne is creative and trustworthy. Her entire team is wonderful to work with including Developers Mortgage.

She did a wonderful job. Highly recommend. Knows the neighborhood and knows the people.

Joanne's sense of humor makes any issue easy to deal with. She is always accessible and even at 3 in the morning, is engaged and funny! Her advice is sound and she has helped me sell and purchase multiple homes as her favorite serial mover! Her negotiation strategies have worked each time! Working with Matt has also been fun and we always find something amusing during our searches. Together, Joanne and Matt helped me find the perfect home. Joanne also has great contractors and shares her contacts. Plus we are dog lovers and I enjoy her daily dose of sweet Coco photos.

I would ask so many questions and you can see the knowledge and patience that comes thru her explaining, showing,suggestions. This beautiful lady stay up for hours finding a buyer for my house that I sold and when I showed her the house I wanted to buy she just full speed ahead started the process. Only a true professional does that!!!

We've worked with Joanne on three house sales and 2 purchases. She is the best. She brings a combination of deep experience with consistent humor to make the process as streamlined and stress free as possible. I can not reccomend her enough.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Joanne Colino across multiple transactions over the past 25 years, and I can say without hesitation that her professionalism, knowledge, communication, and dedication are exceptional. Joanne has consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of the market, guiding me through both buying and selling processes with confidence and clarity. What stands out most is her commitment to her clients. She takes the time to understand their goals, provides honest advice, and goes well above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome. I’ve always felt that I was in very capable hands, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Joanne Colino to anyone looking for an experienced and dedicated real estate professional.

Very communicative, quickly running down leads/questions. A true go getter

I'll start with the dimensions mentioned in the prompt. I've bought and sold several houses, and have never had an agent as easy to communicate with. Always fast and accurate with responses, even to some fairly stupid questions. From her extensive experience she had detailed knowledge of every neighborhood in our search. Regarding negotiation skills, she guided us in the logistics of our offer, yet never crossed the boundary to trying to tell us what to do. And she was a consummate professional at each stage of our search. She was also patient through the process - we didn't find the house we were looking for after seeing several houses. She remained upbeat and ready to show us more. Then she showed us the right one ... And also a shout-out to her colleague Matt. Everything I mentioned above applies to him as well. By the end of the process we felt that we knew them as old friends. Lastly, both were very familiar with buying older houses. Their expertise was invaluable to us as we weighed the merits of each house we saw. I could not more highly recommend working with them.

Joanne guided me through several stressful months of trying to buy a house in a very tight market. She explored with me the possibility of expanding my search area, but after looking in some other neighborhoods, I decided I wanted to stick to Chestnut Hill and West Mount Airy, although I recognized that there were few houses on the market, that desirable houses often sold on (or even before) the day of the first open house, that prices at the time were sky-high, and that to get a house, a buyer might have to do insane things like waive inspection (which ultimately, after losing three or four houses, I decided to do). Joanne gave me the benefit of her years of selling real estate, and her thorough knowledge of NW Philadelphia neighborhoods, but remained focused on working for me to get what I wanted, even when it took me a while to figure out what that was. In other words, she didn’t try to pressure or influence me to buy houses that she thought would be good for me. Although I have friends who said, “your agent must not be aggressive enough” each time I bid on a house and didn’t get it, but I completely disagree. Joanne gave me her opinion on what bid would likely be necessary to be successful, but the bids I made were as aggressive as I was willing to be. In addition, Joanne knows EVERYBODY. She gave me recommendations for a mortgage broker and even a tax accountant/attorney during the house hunting process, and recommendations for a home inspector, a general contractor, electricians, a roofer, a plumber — pretty much every house-related professional I could think of — and every one of her recommendations has been great. Joanne is also friendly and funny. Highly recommended!

I’ve been very fortunate to work with Joanne Colino for over 20 years. It is no wonder why her clients are so loyal to her. She has great instincts and is an exceptional communicator with all parties involved. She is a well of resources, wisdom, and experience. Joanne has proven time and time again that she is dependable and trustworthy.

I have had several transactions with Joanne ( and now with Matt!) and each one has been delightful! She offers wonderful insights and always has a sense of humor. When things are difficult, she always has suggestions for a good solution. We find a way to laugh throughout the process even in our early morning texting! She offers great referrals for various projects. As a frequent mover, I look forward to our next adventure.
