ZillowVERIFIEDJoanne helped us sell our house in 16 days in a tight market. She helped us negotiate with the buyers to get the price we needed. She is detailed and responsive. She made sure we knew what to expect next. Working with her was the easiest part of our out of state move. Highly recommend working with her.

ZillowVERIFIED Joanne is heaven sent! I was unsure if Id be able to find a home that met all my needs within my budget. She went above and beyond to schedule viewings, provide feedback on various areas, and work with me in the evening and on the weekends to ensure that all my questions were answered and deadlines were met. She is so kind, professional, and has amazing negotiating skills. I highly recommend Joanne to anyone in the market for a home! Thank you Joanne!

ZillowVERIFIED We needed to move from Seattle to Reno in 60 days or less; Joanne got us there in 40 like a boss! She helped us talk through options to create a strong offer while being sensitive to our budget going into a competitive open-house weekend. We totally won our dream home specifically because of Joanne's tactical approach! Joanne helped us every step of the way throughout inspections, appraisals, etc., and was very knowledgable and patient with us explaining all of the little things that were new to us as first time home buyers. She is also warm, friendly, and personable, which was a nice comfort with all the expected stresses of buying a new home remotely. Joanne is a strong competitor while giving careful consideration to our needs and wants, striking the perfect balance. Joanne is an incredibly effective buyer-agent and we cannot recommend her enough. Thank You, Joanne! You are the best!

ZillowVERIFIED Joanne Tiernan is an excellent realtor and works tirelessly for her clients. Joanne is consistent with her communications to you, always punctual, and always forthcoming about a property, a bid, and the locations you are viewing. We have worked with five different realtors in three different states, and I can easily say that Joanne Tiernan has been the hardest working and most responsive realtor with which weve worked. Additionally, she has a strong network of contacts and can easily recommend great home inspectors, craftsmen and contractors, insurance agents, and attorneys. Armed with strong negotiation skills and historical knowledge of the Reno and Sparks area, she will advise you of HOA requirements, neighborhood schools, and general neighborhood information. This was a great asset for us coming from Texas with little knowledge of the Northern Nevada area. Joanne Tiernan is truly the best!

ZillowVERIFIED Trust is the most important component in any personal or business relationship. From the first meeting with Joanne, we felt that connection, and knew she was the perfect person for our home search. Relocating from California we had no clue about the Reno/ Sparks real estate market. Joannes superior knowledge of the market and her complete understanding of the entire process was incredibly helpful. We knew we were in good hands.Initially we were very indecisive about many of the properties we viewed, but Joanne was extremely patient and gave us all the pros and potential cons for each of them. She has a rare instinctual ability to gauge whether you need a professional opinion and advice or if you just need time to think things over. When we did have questions or concerns, she always had the right answers and guidance. She never forced her opinion on us, and we never felt pressured. We knew she was truly working in our best interest. When we finally decided on the perfect house for us, she guided us through the offer process, and we got the house! One offer and we were in contract. This may not be a typical scenario for many home buyers, but it was ours. We are extremely grateful we had Joanne on our team.We highly recommend Joanne. From the scheduling of appropriate home viewings, mortgage approvals and the offer process, right though the pre and post-closing process she was there for us.She made an initially strange and unfamiliar area to us feel more like home, and now it is our home.

ZillowVERIFIED My husband and I just relocated from CA to NV and bought a home that was new construction. We are both in the mortgage industry and initially thought, "we don't need an agent for new construction, we can just work with the builder's rep" - WRONG. I would have regretted it deeply had I gone that route. There is SO much to new construction (and real estate in general!) that we were not versed on. We are good with the mortgage stuff, but the real estate stuff, not our expertise. That is what Joanne is - a true EXPERT in her field. She is so knowledgeable on every front, knows the area like the back of her hand and weeded out about 10 developments we would have wasted our time going to, just by us telling her what we were looking for. She presented us with options that fit what we wanted and were within our budget. She is upfront, honest, responsive and a true professional. She was patient with my million questions over an eight month build. Even if you're not buying new construction, Joanne is an excellent person to have on your side as you navigate the crazy NV market. I cannot recommend her enough! Stellar in her field!

ZillowVERIFIED Sometimes I am skeptical about all 5 star reviews - maybe this is too good to be true? Joanne deserves all 5 stars! And then some! She is extremely familiar with the Reno/Sparks area and each house she took me to see, she gave me insights into how it would hold value and why, what upcoming transportation things were happening that would impact traffic, and so much more. It was incredibly helpful.She did not hesitate to show me a bunch of houses, even ones she knew were probably not going to work for me, so that I would have a good understanding of what was available (in a very tight market!!) and to make sure I wouldn't later wonder if I had missed out on anything. Nope. I can't believe how quickly she responded to every question, email, text - especially because she didn't spend time talking on the phone while showing me houses - I know she is a busy realtor but she somehow managed to make it seem like I was her only buyer, which was so reassuring. As a first time buyer, there was (is!) a LOT I didn't know and Joanne never minded explaining things to me - and did so in a way that didn't make me feel at all dumb for not knowing. She loves teaching and it definitely shows. Her negotiation skills were also super helpful to me and I ended up with a fantastic deal on a house that had everything I wanted(!!!) and we closed within 30 days. When I first called her in mid/late July, I told her I would ideally be out of my apartment by September 1, and she made it happen! I really did not believe it was possible. She worked closely and so efficiently with my lender and title company and asked sellers' realtor anything I wanted to know - always with quick responses. She encouraged me to make sure I stuck with a budget for the house that allowed plenty of room for the rest of life - instead of pushing me toward more expensive homes for a higher commission. I felt like I could really trust her and that helped relieve so much stress in what could have been a super stressful process. I was looking at web articles about the stress of homebuying and it seemed like night and day. Something like 2/3 of people cry sometime during the process - I did not cry once :-) It's my first home but after hearing so many friends and family's homebuying experiences - Joanne is all of your realtor dreams come true.

ZillowVERIFIED Over the past 40 years I have purchased several properties in multiple states and employed the services of several licensed real estate agents. No one surpasses the experience, professionalism, knowledge, negotiating skills, trustworthiness, patience, and understanding of the local market better than Joanne. I do not hesitate in recommending Joanne for anyone who is seeking a competent real estate agent with these skills and abilities.

ZillowVERIFIED Joanne was such a joy to work with! My husband and I were first time home buyers and Joanne made the process very easy, she was super informative and knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions we had so we could understand the terminology and process. Her patience is to be admired since we needed a little more explaining then the majority of her clients. If we sent her a message she responded with in the hour if not sooner. My husband and I felt like Joanne was present with us at all times when we met up, she made us feel comfortable and in good hands. We thank you so much Joanne!

ZillowVERIFIED I wouldn't buy a house in Reno without Joanne. She has been amazing from start to finish - patient, thorough, available, and tenacious both in representing me and in giving me an honest opinion as to the properties I was looking at. Buying a home can be stressful, but Joanne made it easy.

ZillowVERIFIED Joanne was our buyer's agent for our home purchase and I can't possibly recommend her enough. Not only is she unbelievably knowledgeable about the local real estate market, she has the rare quality of being extremely genuinely thoughtful on a personal basis. When the sellers forgot to leave the garage door openers, she got the make and model of the opener and got replacements for us. She goes way above and beyond for her clients and it's for this reason I recommend her so much!

Review for Member: Joanne Tiernan
ZillowVERIFIED I first met Joanne after sending out my information to a few different real estate companies. I sat and talked with a few realtors and viewed many houses. Nothing was really what I had hoped for. Joanne reached out after I submitted my information to KW realty; there was an immediate difference. Joanne made it extremely convenient to meet up with as she was able to work around my schedule. Being a first time home buyer Joanne walked me through the whole process and what to look for. Further into the process Joanne assisted as the intermediary for the builder and the mortgage company, by expediting the paperwork and explaining various documents. She would run the documents though her program, which would allow me to sign and send the documents back immediately via email.She is extremely responsive in both text and email, and to this day (2 weeks) after close, is still answering various questions I have.Working with Joanne was very easy and informative. I recommend her to anyone on the market, you will not be disappointed.

ZillowVERIFIED I had a fantastic experience with Joanne. She did an amazing job of finding me properties, including lots of running around looking at potential houses, taking additional photos and finding out what the rental return is in the area I was looking. In addition, she negotiated hard to ensure I paid a fair price (and was successful!), she put me in touch with a great lending company and liaised with the title company, answering many of their questions. All the professionals I came in contact with had only positive things to say about working with her. I will DEFINITELY use her again when I purchase my next property.

ZillowVERIFIED Numerous agents reached out to us and we were hesitant to pick one. We took one more phone call that day and it happened to be Joanne. We felt that she would be a great fit. As first time homebuyers Joanne made sure we understood the process and she guided us and provided us with all the information we needed. She was very responsive via text/phone which was very helpful for our schedules. She is very knowledgeable about the housing market and she knows a lot about the different developments in the area. She let us choose at our own pace and did not hover over us. We worked with Joanne for months before we chose the perfect property. We are thankful for her patience throughout the home-buying journey! The escrow process also went smoothly with the constant updates and electronic signing. We would recommend Joanne to future homebuyers!

ZillowVERIFIED Joanne is an incredible realtor and I couldn't have imagined this journey without her. Being a first time homebuyer myself, she had no hesitation going through the entire process of purchasing a home and the many questions that come along with that. Joanne easily made accommodations to fit my schedule, gave special attention to specific requests and everything in between. She is highly knowledgeable in all aspects of real estate and more. She walked me through every step of the way and made it a great experience. I guess buying a home doesn't have to be so stressful after all. I am honored to write this review of my experience working with Joanne and give her my highest endorsement.

ZillowVERIFIED I contacted Joanne to help a close friend who had recently retired and was relocating to find a home in the competitive Reno/Sparks market. Joanne was very responsive, took the time to understand my friend's needs, and found her a home within a week that was within her budget and that she loved! Thank you Joanne for making what could have been a stressful move so smooth!

ZillowVERIFIED When we decided we were moving to Reno, Nevada, I did some internet research and found Joanne based on excellent reviews and comments on many sites. I contacted her and she was so responsive and immediately began doing research for us on housing based on our criteria and price range. She sent all the best listings and all new listings within our range given. I went up to Reno for 3 weeks to secure housing and set up our move. Joanne was ready and prepared and she took me to quite a number of existing homes and several new developments where she knew the quality of the builders. I was quite impressed with her skills and abilities and knowledge of Reno/Sparks, Nevada, real estate. I did not find any existing homes that were to our caliber of home, so, we ended up buying at Brier Ranch by Desert Wind Homes, a new development in lower Sparks that was fantastic. Joanne knew of the builder and this was her highest recommendation for new construction. She represented us at all stages of the buying process and will also be there for our final walk-throughs and closing in November of 2017! We love the builder and his building quality is above and beyond,,, and so is Joanne Tiernan as a real estate agent. I told Joanne that she is the best realtor I have had in my lifetime of buying and selling homes! I highly recommend Joanne as a realtor,,, she is the best Reno and Sparks, Nevada, have to offer not to mention how personable and diligent she is at her profession. We are thankful we met Joanne and now value her as a new dear friend of ours in Reno/Sparks, Nevada. Reno/Sparks, Nevada, is a wonderful place to live with great people and a great dry 4 season climate! We were from California like some 75% of the people moving here and love it! Thank you again, Joanne, for the fabulous job you did for us!

ZillowVERIFIED As a first time homebuyer I was apprehensive and nervous about the entire home buying process. Joanne made my fears disappear . She knew what we wanted and was always a head of the game . Before I even thought about worrying , Joanne was there with a text/ email with another list of homes to view / reassurance that we would find our dream starter home for our family . She is always on our side and would refer her to anyone needing her assistance . Everyone that told us horror stories with their agent has never met Joanne. Her work ethic is unmatched and I'm so glad that we chose her to represent us .

ZillowVERIFIED Joanne helped my wife and I with the purchase of our home last July. Her knowledge of the local market conditions were spot on and her advice was very helpful. Joanne took the time to do her homework and did not show us homes that she knew would not fit our lifestyle. She took the time to get to know us! When we found the right home, she wrote the perfect offer, helped us with our inspections, and showed up to be at our closing. There are none better than Joanne Tiernan.

She arranged the inspections in a timely manner and we closed exactly as planned. Overall, it was a positive experience. Joanne was very professional.

ZillowVERIFIED I'm a real estate investor and have work with many real estate agents over the years and in different markets. Joanne is top of that list, she's a true professional. She took care of everything including showing up for the inspections and meeting contractors to get bids. She even went to the property to water during escrow so we wouldn't loose the landscaping. She's knowledgeable, returns phone calls right away, and very easy to work with. Bottom line I highly recommend Joanne!

ZillowVERIFIED It had been a decade since I last purchased a house, and I was a little out of my element on who to trust. The Reno area has had more than its fair share of bad real estate in the last few years as we had one of the worst states for foreclosures. Luckily for me, I was introduced to Joanne. She was honest, punctual, answered my questions--even the dumb ones--quickly and did a fantastic job of recommending homes for me to view. In less than a month of looking, I made an offer with her guidance on a home, and I'm moving in! The deal we, and by we I mean Joanne, negotiated was great!I would recommend Joanne Tiernan to anyone. Fantastic!

ZillowVERIFIED We had a terrific experience with Joanne buying our first home. We looked at over 25 properties in all areas of Reno and Sparks. Her knowledge of the ammentities and schools in the neighborhoods made it easy to rule out areas for us. We had a very quick negotiation and closing process that was very simple for us as buyers. Joanne had given us all possible scenarios that could occur which gave us zero surprises. I will and have recommended Joanne for her professionalism, knowledge and mostly how genuine she is as a person.

Review for Member: Joanne Tiernan
ZillowVERIFIED My wife and I needed a quick move to the Reno area and were not able to spend the typical time touring houses or getting to know areas that might be appealing to us. Joanne took the time to get to know us as best she could and did an amazing job of helping us navigate the process remotely. She went to homes to take extra photos, videos and gave input on neighborhoods and the surrounding areas. She was professional and timely with communication and not once did we feel any concern about her level of involvement. As typically happens, there was a few "hiccups" in the process of closing and, again, Joanne was nothing but exceptional in dealing with the other party to find conclusions and actions to expedite the closing of our home. If you are looking for a professional agent that has an understanding of market conditions and pricing, then choose Joanne. If that doesn't matter to you, find some other schmo agent that just sits back on their license and lets the process happen on its own.
