"We selected Joan Shannon to help us in the sale of our condo in Belle View and we are so glad that we did! Joan knows Belle View, she knew exactly what we needed to do to put it on the market and who to hire to get it done. She staged the unit, priced it perfectly, and it sold in one day. We highly recommend Joan!"- Past Client
★★★★★
"Joan was spot-on in her recommendations for preparing our home for the current market. She was able to intuit what buyers wanted and proceeded to get our home ready to meet that expectation. Even during a pandemic, Joan guided us through the entire transaction with outstanding results."- Joe
★★★★★
"Margaret-Mary and I want to thank you for the truly exceptional job you did in helping us get our home in Mount Vernon sold last month! Joan, you refreshed the marketing, were a tireless networker with agents who work the Mt. Vernon market, increased the traffic to the house, and most importantly, got our home sold just two months after you stepped in. You helped us get a price that we were not at all certain we could get. As a principal in the firm, it is always my objective to have our agents exceed our client’s expectations and to provide an exceptional experience. You more than exceeded our expectations Joan, and please accept our heartfelt thanks for a job well done!"- Margaret-Mary and David
★★★★★
"Joan Shannon is an outstanding real estate agent that has a unique ability to problem solve, adjust and resolve and has an extensive knowledge of the Northern Virginia market and is up to date with the varied and fluctuating market trends. She guided us through every step, from listing, to sell, to settlement. Joan's professionalism was remarkable and her support team of interior design and photographer were outstanding. Joan provided extensive market information and evaluation, she diffused our information throughout the McEnearney teams but also used her varied and ample personal network that she has with other agencies. Between her network, her people skills, the beautiful professional brochures (that were inserted in various Northern Virginia mediums) and Joan's negotiations skills, we managed to sell our house at the price we wanted and in the time frame we wanted, without any hesitation or reservation Joan Shannon has surpassed previous agents we have used."- Andrea
★★★★★
"We called Joan to help us sell our Old Town condo and find a new home in the neighborhood with enough space for our family. Right from the start, Joan was more than an agent — she was a partner and advocate. She helped us find and navigate financing, worked with our lender and settlement company, and fought and negotiated hard for our interests. Joan was always just a call or text message away, available day and night to answer our questions and strategize about everything from sale price to staging. She treated our home purchase as if it were her own."- Dan and Jen
