Joel was great to work with. He is very professional and patient! As first time home buyers, my husband and I had a lot of questions. Joel would take the time to answer all of our questions, and guide us into the right direction. He was great with the negotiations and making sure we were happy with our decision. He was always available by texts, calls, and emails. He did an amazing job helping me keep my emotions in check! We definitely recommend working with Joel!

Joel was so great to work with! He helped us find our first home. We would recommend working with Joel to our friends and family. He was able to get us showings quickly as new homes came on the market.

I met Joel at a condo where he was the listing agent. My realtor was unable to schedule a showing. I kept Joels information because he made a strong impression on me as a worker. Joel ended up working with me for longer than a year to find a property that was a good value for my circumstances. I was always able to get the answers I was seeking from Joel about my home purchase processs. Joel has a great network for all the different situations that pop up such as a list of home inspectors. I enjoyed working with Joel. He was very responsive and thorough.

He was very professional and accommodating in my rental search. Went above and beyond helping with communication to the landlord of my rental and making sure I received everything promised on the lease. I highly recommend!
