It was so wonderful to work with Joelle! This was our first home, and she made the process so easy for us. Joelle was extremely knowledgeable and responsive (so quick to respond!), and we could always rely on her to answer our questions. In a process with so many people and pieces involved, Joelle helped to move things forward, and hold everyone accountable. I highly recommend her!

We had a great experience with Joelle as our buyers agent. She was great at making us feel comfortable and confident as first time home buyers. She was very knowledge about the market and neighborhoods and very enthusiastic and responsive at all hours. She was honest and transparent throughout the process, even advising us to go in with a lower offer (which was accepted!). She also has excellent recommendations for mortgage lenders, lawyers, contractors etc. We would highly recommend her!

Joelle was an absolute pleasure to work with and I would recommend her to anyone looking to sell their house in the greater Boston area! She had wonderful insight into the local market and was very quick and responsive to our (many!) questions. I believe her advice on staging our house is why we were able to sell it in one weekend and at a great price. The selling process can be challenging but Joelle’s guidance made it so much easier and she truly went above and beyond for us. You will be in good hands if you choose to work with Joelle!

Joelle was an incredible agent in the sale of our first home. She was knowledgeable, responsive and patient with us, even when we ran into (more than one!) challenging issue. Joelle went above and beyond to support us and leverage her network to remove obstacles and make the deal possible for us. We never questioned whether she was doing everything in her power to support us - she consistently followed up, gave us suggestions and recommendations, and communicated quickly and effectively with everyone involved. Joelle's commitment to our home sale made us feel like we were her most important client at all times. The care, time and perseverance to getting the deal done was more than we could have possibly asked for. I would recommend Joelle and her team to anyone looking for the best possible agent to support the sale or purchase of a home.

Joelle was incredibly helpful from the start to the finish of the home-buying process. She has excellent knowledge of the local market and was always quick to respond to any questions we had. We felt comfortable throughout the entire process of having Joelle assist us. We would absolutely recommend Joelle to our friends and family!

Joelle went above and beyond in helping us find the best home for us, and was extremely knowledgeable in making our offer as competitive as possible. She was very responsive and took a genuine interest in our priorities for our new home! She also made the buying process smooth by connecting us with reliable people to quickly close on the house.

Joelle helped us buy our new home and we are happy to recommend her to anyone looking to buy on the North Shore. She’s a great listener, negotiator, and respected local community member, and she helped us navigate a really complicated negotiation in Melrose. She’s accessible and bubbly, knowledgeable and straightforward, and it gave us a huge peace of mind knowing that she could verify the work estimates we were given from the seller’s agent with her husband, who is a contractor. We felt like we had a great team on our side, and wound up getting a dream home for $40,000 less than asking.

Joelle was referred to us by a family member as a buyers agent after having a not so wonderful experience with our last agent. As first time home buyers she quickly put us at ease. Joelle was always there to quickly answer each and every one of our questions, which there were a lot of. She is an indispensable asset to have on your real estate team. Joelle’s knowledge of real estate, the market, her awesome personality, and her stellar negotiation skills helped us win a bid on an over 10 offer home, which also happened to be the first offer that we put in with her. In addition, the referrals she recommended for lending, inspections, and insurance never let us down. If given the choice to start the process all over again, there is no other buyers agent we would even consider! You are in the best hands with Joelle when it comes to buying your dream home!

Joelle recently helped us sell our house and we could not have done it without her. She's amazing. We needed to sell our home due to relocation, which made the process more difficult. We had an aggressive timeline. It was all no problem for Joelle. She handled the relo process with ease, all while helping us manage projects and contractors to make sure our home sold for top dollar. Joelle watched over our home when we could not be there in person, showing up every day to check on the painters and to assist with other small projects. She really went above and beyond and her expertise and knowledge of the process helped us reach our deadlines and goals. We are so happy with the outcome, and because of Joelle's help with our sale, we were able to proceed with the sale of our new home (out of state). I'd also like to note we are repeat customers - Joelle helped us buy our home too. She's really the best. Thanks, Joelle.

I sold my house with The Orton Group! My Realtor, Joelle Smith, did a fantastic job marketing my property, which we knew would not be an easy sell and would require focusing on a niche customer base. She listened to my wishes of what I envisioned for my property, and saw it to fruition. It took a lot of diligent work and a group effort to see this process through to the end, and I felt confident that, with Joelle's guidance and expertise, we would accomplish all I set out to do. I highly recommend Joelle, and The Orton Group, and look forward to engaging her services again in the near future!

I had the pleasure of working with Joelle in the search of a new home. From our first meeting I knew she would help and would put my needs first. She was very thorough in helping me and always was there when I called or texted her. She was amazing in keeping up communication. She was always very up front and honest with me and someone I found very trustworthy. I would without hesitation recommend her services to any of my family or friends. I appreciate all of the hard work and effort that she gave me every day of my search for a new home and hope you do as well.

Joelle was a pleasure to have as my real estate agent. I can't thank her enough for all the hard work, dedication and the time she spent on assisting me with the trying and frustrating purchase process of my new home. She responded promptly to every text, email or voicemail - even on the weekends and nights! She works very hard for her clients, always going above and beyond. I would not hesitate to use Joelle again or recommend her to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home. She is an expert in her field and I couldn't have asked for a better agent.
