"I couldn’t have had a better experience than with Joy Smith at Compass in buying my house. She was flexible, responsive, and a true “joy” to work with. She went above and beyond on my behalf when issues threatened to derail our purchase. She developed a rapport with the sellers’ realtor and went to bat for us. The support we received from the office was amazing as well. I would highly recommend Joy and the team at Compass." - Elise M.

"Joy has many perfect reviews and this one is no different. Austin is one of, if not the hottest real estate market in the nation. It's normal to have many lose out on 14 homes on average before receiving an accepted offer. I was lucky enough to meet joy when casually looking for my first home. After seeing houses go for 10-20% over asking, it was clear I was getting priced out of the market and needed to act fast. On my very first offer, we were accepted as a backup and on the 3rd offer, we placed I landed my dream home a short distance from downtown Austin." - Anonymous

"If you have Joy as your real estate agent, you don't need to worry about the buying process at all. Between her knowledge, honesty, and humor, the buying process will actually be enjoyable! We LOVED working with Joy in buying our first home and will call her whenever we go to buy our next house. Not only did she get us the house we wanted, but she also patiently walked us through buying a house for the first time, red flags to look out for, etc. She also recommended several providers to help us along the way and they were all incredible - great at their jobs, honest, and personable." - Anonymous

"We had the best experience working with Joy! From our initial phone call, Joy really listened and asked questions to understand where I was coming from and what I was looking for in a home. As a first-time home buyer, I wasn't totally sure what I needed until Joy guided me through. Her style rang true of a close friend who is also professionally equipped to take care of business. Joy knows this market she knows the town and she has an excellent team behind her to back us all up along the way; working with Joy also meant working with her professional connections including a lender, home insurance coverage and concierge, inspector, and contractors! All super professional, smart, and down-to-earth. My favorite part about Joy is how she got to know me so that she was one step ahead whenever I needed to make a tough decision - she made sure I was on the right track the entire process. Then when it came down to the offers - she got right to business and negotiated all our concessions and asks from the seller! Couldn't recommend her enough to guide anyone through home buying in Austin." - Lauren L.

★★★★★
"I am recommending Joy to anyone who is serious about owning in Austin. With a market, this crazy, Joy has the skills, relationships, and knowledge to get anyone across the finish line in owning.

★★★★★
"Joy Smith is a gem. She is a very thoughtful, competent, and assertive agent. She helped us navigate the real estate market with confidence. She handled arising issues with attention to detail and care. She helped us successfully list our first home on the market as well as successfully helped us purchase our second home. I was always well taken care of by Joy. You will enjoy having her represent you." - Molly W.

★★★★★
"Joy is the absolute best! Thanks to her expert guidance, we ended up with the house of our dreams. She suggested creative solutions during negotiation and got us more than we thought we could have. We recommend Joy to anyone looking for a cool, fun, and knowledgeable realtor. " - Elise W.

★★★★★
"Joy recently helped us purchase our first home, and I highly recommend working with her. We met her over a year ago, at an open house we popped into, and immediately recognized how she was different than other agents who are just "trying to make a sale". She took the time to get to know us and spoke honestly about the market. We knew right away, we wanted to work with her. She is genuine, honest, intelligent, and communicative. As first-time home buyers, there were many unknowns, but she worked with us throughout the process and was extremely helpful. She's also very kind, which made the process fun (even in a stressful pandemic)!" - Ezekiel A.

★★★★★
"Joy was a great agent to work with. Knowing it was my first time to purchase a home, she walked me through each step and made the process easy. After our first showing and speaking with her, she understood exactly what we were looking for in a home and showed us a few really great options. While we lost out on our dream home the first time around Joy was on top of things and let us know it was once available once again and really went to bat for us when it came to negotiating with the seller." - Rachael H.

★★★★★
"Joy was a pleasure to work with. Buying a home in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic added another layer of complexity to what's already a complicated process, but Joy was our faithful co-pilot through the process - upbeat but also realistic/honest in her assessments, always advocating for us through the househunting and negotiation periods. 100% would recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home, especially in the Holly neighborhood, given her knowledge of that area." - Anonymous

★★★★★
"Joy is a total delight! She helped me buy my first home ever, and was very conscientious about making sure I felt comfortable, and supported me the whole way—not easy to do during a pandemic! She is patient and pragmatic and I am so thrilled with my experience. Highly recommend!" - Mary Rose G.

★★★★★
"I HIGHLY recommend Joy as a real estate agent and truly feel like we gained a trusted friend through this process - thank you Joy!!" - Hannah R.

★★★★★
"Joy is absolutely wonderful. Now multiply that by a billion. We just bought our first house, and Joy made the entire experience stress-free and fun. Joy is extremely knowledgeable and savvy in the Austin Real Estate market. She certainly knows homes (I learned so much from her advice!), but she also knows people. Joy knew exactly when to step back to let us consider our options or do our research, and she also knew exactly when to encourage us or share some advice. I looked forward to every interaction I had with Joy during this process. My endless questions were often met with an anecdote from Joy's years of experience, and I never expected to laugh so much during this big of a decision. I love the house we purchased, but I also can't wait for the next time so that we can experience this all over again with the best realtor ever." - Hannah R.

★★★★★
"Joy was so amazing to work with! She helped my boyfriend and me find our DREAM home and made every step as easy as possible. She is motivated and energetic and always goes the extra mile! Her insights and instincts when it comes to the real estate market are spot on and she was always very honest with us, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend working with her!" - Dariella F.

★★★★★
"Joy was a true JOY to work with! She spent many, many months with us looking for our perfect home here in Austin and is incredibly patient and smart. We had an intense experience with our first home purchase due to the original winning bidder dropping out thus giving us the opportunity to buy, but Joy kept us calm and at ease during this entire process. We are so grateful for her help and kindness!" - Megan D.

★★★★★
"After dealing with Realtors who would not return our calls or were clearly doing the bare minimum to assist us in our search, meeting Joy was like a breath of fresh air. Super responsive and ready to jump into action, we were relieved to finally meet a Realtor who is ready to get things done! Her sweet personality and local knowledge made the process very easy and as stress-free as buying a home can be. We are excited to work with her again to purchase an investment property here in Austin." - Amelia C.

★★★★★
"Joy was such a great help with my move to Austin. She made my move much easier and took away a lot of the stress of finding a new home. I was very impressed with her preparation, research, and planning. She had each stop planned out, had background information about the area, and made sure to provide me with any information I could need. I will be sure to recommend her in the future!" - Nick K.

★★★★★
"Joy was such a pleasure to work with! As first-time home buyers, we were basically going in blind, but Joy was incredibly knowledgeable and she made us feel super comfortable at every step of the process. We were always confident we had a skilled advocate in Joy, and we'd recommend her to any of our friends without a second thought. " - Sarah W.

★★★★★
"My fiancee and I really enjoyed working with Joy. Despite having very specific criteria and a limited budget (including being on the east side), Joy was able to find us homes we liked. She is knowledgeable, professional, and a pleasure to be around. She understands that the relationship between agent and buyer is more important than the sale, which is really refreshing and not an attitude we found in her peers. " - Matthew W.

★★★★★
