He helped us to stay both focused and hopeful

We tried to sell our house previously with a different agent and were unsuccessful. We re-listed with Joel and although he was not very familiar with the area, he worked hard to stay abreast of the local market. Joel consistently sent us information about local sales, new listings and comparable properties in the area. He was very responsive and was a saint dealing with my (sometimes) neurotic personality. He helped us to stay both focused and hopeful. Joel was able to not only sell our home, but get us into the house of our dreams. I would definitely recommend him.

Joel is very professional, not pushy and looks out for your best interests

I recently purchased my condo and thanks to Joel and his patience I ended up getting a really good deal. Joel is very professional, not pushy and looks out for your best interest. He's very honest and goes the extra mile for his clients. I'm very pleased with my decision and definitely would recommend Joel in a heartbeat.

Professional, knowledgeable and warm

Joel is professional, knowledgeable and warm. He found us just the right home at the right time. We weren’t sure what we wanted in the beginning, and Joel provided information, many showings (for which he travelled a distance), and guidance to help us figure out what was right for our family. Thanks Joel!

He helped us make sound decisions, and guided us through the home buying process with ease.

As first time home buyers, Joel was very informative and available. We trusted his judgement and appreciated his local expert advise. He knew he had to be the Hand-Holder type of agent for us. And he also knew when to step back and let us drive the search process. But most importantly, we never felt rushed or pressured by Joel. We looked at a lot of properties in 6 different neighboring towns and cities. He remained patient until we found the perfect home and neighborhood for our family. He helped us make sound decisions, and guided us through the home buying process with ease.
