Joe was both our listing agent and buyer's agent. He made himself available to us any time there was a need. He is very knowledgeable about the whole process from beginning to end. As a seller's agent he monitored the market and made adjustments accordingly. As a buyers agent he made room in his schedule for last minute showings and was available for the final walk through. All in all he is an exceptional realtor and I would recommend him as a listing or buyer's agent.
Working with Joe was an absolute pleasure throughout our home-buying journey in Surf City. From the very beginning, he felt less like a real estate agent and more like a member of the family. Joe is incredibly down-to-earth and always maintains a cheerful, positive attitude that makes a potentially stressful process feel manageable. We found ourselves consulting him for anything and everything—no question was too small, and his local knowledge of the area is unmatched. Whether we needed advice on the market or a recommendation for a local service, he was always ready to help with genuine enthusiasm. If you are looking for an agent who is professional, deeply helpful, and truly cares about his clients, we cannot recommend Joe highly enough. He did a splendid job!
When I would call. Joe would answer. If not he would call back within the hour. Very knowledgeable, answered most of my questions off the tip of his tongue. Would get an answer for us in a hasty manner as well

Transparency and fairness are core to how RateMyAgent works. While it’s sometimes assumed that only positive reviews appear on our platform, that’s not the case.
Only clients involved in an actual transaction with an agent can leave a review. This helps ensure authenticity and prevents fake or anonymous feedback. Agent's have no control over what’s written - every review, whether positive or critical, is published and remains visible.
