Joanne took on a difficult home to sell. Pretty much a train wreck maintenance wise but had ‘good bones’. She worked with the brothers of the house owner who was unable to participate in the sale process. Brothers were remote. Working collaboratively, strategy was a 4 step approach 1. Basic Landscaping to clear overgrowth, cut/trim trees, trim, mulch 2. Totally liquidate Estate - leave house totally empty 3. Professionally deep clean interior - top to bottom - all surfaces 4. Prep for sale, advertise, price strategically I, David Phillion, had a close working relationship with Joanne and we worked together to generate a successful outcome. Joanne has very good communication skills which helped to overcome the distance issue.

I’ve now worked with Joanne twice. Once for selling and now for buying 3 years later. Joanne was very patient with my buying process which spanned about 2 years and multiple cities and counties. Joanne develops a sense for what you’re looking for so there’s no time wasted. I ended up with a condo that I love and I remember when we left after seeing it she had said she felt I found the one and she was right! She was also a great help lining up contractors for renovations before I even closed. She made a stressful process as easy and pain free as possible. Highly recommend!

Joanne was wonderful to work with and made the entire home buying process as smooth as possible. I found her to be an excellent communicator, quick to respond to texts/emails and very kind and likable person. When looking at homes she was very knowledgeable, able to point out finer details that I might have missed, but still gave me space to figure out what I liked. She had good advice on offers and negotiations. The closing process can be quite overwhelming ,with all of the paperwork to read and sign, but she gave me confidence that I wasn't overlooking anything. Finally, will she is quite experienced, and has sold/bought many homes, she seems as invested and excited about your home purchase as if it were first. Overall, it was a great experience and I'd highly recommend her!

I was a first time buyer, when Joanne was recommended to me by a friend. Joanne was so supportive and knowledgeable. She gave me her opinion when I asked for it, and I could rely on it. She was always so knowledgeable about what would be a good offer or what issues I should be concerned about. And she was always available to me and timely in responding to any questions I had. I had a great experience with her, and I highly recommend Joanne!

My husband and I are new to the area so having Joanne was a blessing. She was patient and professional during our home buying process. Her negotiation skills saved us money and the transaction. I would highly recommend Joanne Mendoza for any real estate needs. Fantastic experience and she will always be our go to Realtor. Thank you Joanne.

Joanne was our assigned relocation realtor when we moved 7 years ago and we thought she did a good job then so we used her again for our recent move. Although it was a down time for selling, she encouraged us and was very positive we would get it done. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was good for us and we appreciate her guidance in the transaction. She's very calming in a hectic situation. Thanks Joanne!

Joanne was fantastic to work with in our relocation to Northern California. She is an excellent communicator and was fast to respond to us whenever we had a question or needed something. She is very well-organized and helped us to find excellent housing options. We had to fly across the country to California to go house-hunting with her for only 2 days, and because of her excellent planning skills, we were able to find the house of our dreams in that short amount of time! She is driven, trustworthy, and has a ton of knowledge about the market and construction. We relied on her heavily throughout our home buying process and I am so thankful for her. I have only wonderful things to say about Joanne - I would HIGHLY recommend her. THANK YOU, Joanne!!

She was very helpful and patient with us. She knows the community very well and experienced in her line of work. She gave us a lot of recommendations to sell our property in a fairly short time. I would gladly recommend her.

We're relocating from another state, and got in touch with Joanne to find our new home. Although we had minimal time during a house-hunting trip, Joanne took two entire days to guide us all over the east bay area, and was extremely helpful with suggestions, pointing out features and potential issues with each home we viewed. When we made a decision, she was very proactive bringing the bank, sellers, and our family together to close on our home. Joanne also made sure we were aware of local and regional issues, and ensured we performed the right inspections to identify any future problems. Since we were moving over the holidays, she even went out of her way to help us do a virtual walk through at closing. On a personal note, Joanne is very warm, patient, and positive. You will love working with Joanne.

I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with Joanne. Her professionalism, expertise and excellent interpersonal skills work synergistically to make her a wonderful representative for anyone thinking of purchasing or selling a home. She is great at what she does and would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you Joanne for making it happen for me. I am very grateful to have you as my agent.

Joanne helped us buy a house on difficult terms. We were buying remotely with only a few days on site and she listened to our desires, sent us plenty options, changed them when we asked, gave us a great variety, she was informed about local market and how the houses sell. She was available on demand and she made everything seem less. During the closing process she arranged several visits to the home and she helped us with thinking through future upgrades. Joanne has been a blessing to our family!

We’re a pretty picky pair of home buyers, my wife and I, and Joanne was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was patient as we saw almost every house in the East Bay in a whirlwind pair of weekends, and then made the actual inspection and escrow process a breeze once we got there!
