āWe had the absolute pleasure of working with Joy both to purchase our new home and sell our old one, and we couldnāt be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Joy went above and beyond and truly provides a full concierge service. Joy is incredibly responsive, answering all of our questions usually within minutes. Her deep knowledge of the Lafayette, Moraga, and Orinda markets is unmatched. She seems to know every house that comes on the market and provides invaluable insight into each one. When it came time to buy, she guided us with smart bidding strategies that gave us confidence and ultimately helped us secure the home we love. On the selling side, Joy took care of everything to get our old house ready for the market. She arranged contractors, coordinated services, and ensured every detail was handled smoothly. She even made treats for our open house, which buyers loved. That was just one of the many thoughtful touches that set her apart. Most importantly, we always felt that Joy had our best interests at heart. She worked tirelessly to make sure we got the home that was right for us and negotiated the best possible offer on our sale. We cannot recommend Joy highly enough. If you are buying or selling in the area, she is the realtor you want by your side.ā - Shane Z.
