"I had the pleasure of working with Joi as our real estate agent when my husband and I were searching for a historic home. I can’t recommend her highly enough as her expertise in historic properties is unmatched. She demonstrated a deep understanding of the unique features, challenges, and benefits that come with these one-of-a-kind homes. From the very start, Joi took the time to understand our individual goals and priorities. Her extensive knowledge of local history and architectural styles not only made the process smooth but also enriched the overall experience. She understood quickly that my husband prefered newer homes and I did not! She helped my husband appreciate the historical significance of each property we viewed and soon he was on board! She also knew exactly what to look for in terms of preservation concerns, zoning regulations, and potential renovations, which gave us great confidence in every decision we made. What sets Joi apart is her passion for historic homes. She truly cares about connecting clients with properties that have character and charm. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and exceptional communication made a potentially overwhelming process feel seamless and enjoyable. If you’re buying or selling a historic home, I wholeheartedly recommend Joi Perkins. Her dedication, expertise, and genuine love for these special properties makes her an incredible resource and advocate for her clients."

"I have used Joi twice now for my real estate needs. In both experiences, she has gone above and beyond for my best interests. She takes pride in her profession, is easy to talk to, and knows her market really well. She’s not just trying to sell a house and move on to the next. It’s not easy finding a real estate agent that you can depend on these days but with Joi you can!"

"Working with Joi and the team has been the highlight of our move to Jacksonville. Initially, we met without the intention to buy, but once we decided to move forward, Joi dedicated The Historic Collective to our success. Everything—from our Compass online dashboard to our closing with the title company—was professional and stress-free. We appreciate the detailed and thoughtful guidance throughout the process from Joi, Heather, and Mason. If we ever need real estate pros again, they will be our first call. Highly recommended!"
★★★★★
"My past experiences with agents have been subpar. This was not the case with Joi. She is extremely knowledgeable about historic homes and is a go getter. I had other agents wanting to price my house 75k below what Joi thought we could get for it. She priced it higher and got that price! I would highly recommend using Joi as your agent."

Joi Perkins specializes in Jacksonville’s historic neighborhoods, particularly Avondale, Riverside, Ortega, San Marco, Springfield, and Murray Hill.
With over 25 years of experience in the real estate field, Joi and her team have sold over 600 homes, won countless top producer awards, and helped several investors profit millions and reap incredible returns. Due to their track record of success, she was able to sell her first boutique brokerage to a larger franchise before her 40th birthday.
She loves this exciting career, and she never loses her enthusiasm for helping her clients win and achieve their goals, from buying their first bungalow to downsizing from their waterfront estate. She prides herself on successfully and easily guiding clients through the contractual, investment, and emotional decisions involved in the real estate process.
Joi is also an active member of the community, including previously serving as a Riverside Avondale Preservation board member and member of the RAP Home Tour Committee.
Joi bought her first investment property at the age of 21, and was drawn back to San Marco where she purchased a home at 25. She was fortunate to find a brick bungalow with a lovely arched front porch and a huge window seat to curl up in, fitting right into her heart and budget at the time. Since then, Joi has had the honor of living in and renovating several historic houses in San Jose, San Marco, Riverside, and now Avondale. She is delighted to help others find their special places and neighborhoods that will become part of their cherished life story. She also understands how difficult it is to say goodbye to these homes when the time comes to move.
Those fortunate enough to live in historic dwellings know what it means to reside in a place that has soul and character. They accept the quirks of their age and appreciate the craftsmanship of a bygone era. They never truly own them but are their stewards for a time, loving them and looking after them, writing their memories and chapters within their lovely walls as those who came before did and those who will come after. Joi approaches every transaction she is involved in with this reverence.
