"Joan is a consummate professional and works tirelessly to ensure the fastest at the best price point. Our house was in days and above the asking price. I would not hesitate to work with her again and cannot recommend her highly enough!"

★★★★★
"Joan is a busy woman who will always have time for you. She answers her calls, responds to all questions and is on top of the entire process from listing your home to getting it ! I rely on Joan and have worked with her for many years. She was the person I turned to when I decided to sell my own home! She loves what she does and she is very, very good at it!"

"We recently worked with Joan to both buy a new house and sell our old house. She was quite simply, wonderful. We had been casually looking to buy for a while, but knew that it had to be THE right house. We had a lovely small house in a neighborhood we adored, so there was no real need or critical timeline for a move. We found a house we loved, and that checked all the boxes of things we wanted, except for the price. The seller did not seem willing to negotiate and we thought the opportunity was done. But Joan stayed on it, and ultimately got us to an agreement on our new fixer-upper dream house. Of course, once that deal was signed it meant we needed to sell our house as quickly as possible and Joan proved herself once again. She was fabulous, efficient, helpful and fun throughout the entire process. She knew what needed to be done to show our house in the best possible way, she priced it correctly and we had multiple offers over asking the first weekend. She never overlooked any of the details, and she made sure we always knew where things stood from listing to closing. We would highly recommend Joan to anyone buying or selling in the Newton area. She knows this town and the real estate market, and had our trust throughout the entire process." - Eva

"Working with Joan has been- well frankly - pretty amazing. Our situation would’ve been a challenge for the most seasoned realtors but Joan took it on without flinching. We needed to sell our house very quickly and Joan was perfect. She told us what to do to show our house at its best. Her marketing materials were great even though everything needed to be done in a week. We NEVER questioned our choice of realtors throughout the process. And her pricing strategy was right on target. Asking price on the lower end to set things up for a bidding war. And it worked. We in a weekend and got a great price. We do not have a single complaint. We needed to leave town prior to the and there were a number of glitches in our house that Joan took care of without hesitation. We would recommend her unequivocally." - Barbara

From start to finish we were always well informed, offered suggestions to improve price like staging and ways to attract more buyers, on target, I have worked with Joan for about 30 years; first as the owner/director/teacher of her children's preschool, as an interior decorator/ designer for our home, and as our real estate broker. She is a winner!!" - Hope and Bob
