Testimonials

She was simply amazing. There is no other way to put it. Everything went smoothly, and we closed on time. She was very accessible and took care of every concern we had. In a market as tough as New York she is one of the best to work with. When the first offer of our house fell through it was so depressing, but Joanna found a better offer within 48 hours. We were able to close in almost the same time frame. I would highly recommend Joanna. - Tom H., Park Slope

If you want a real estate agent who is willing to go the extra mile, Joanna is your choice. She gets things done. Joanna not only knows the business inside and out, but she also cares; clients are not just names and numbers for her. She truly cares about people she works with, and she is willing and able to solve every problem there might occur. With Joanna, you don't need to worry if your agent really is doing all she can to help and support you. Joanna is. As a person, Joanna is very positive (and it's infectious), very easy to work with, supportive, and caring. You need this when dealing with something as demanding as selling or buying a home. - Varpu S., Sunset Park

Joanna is a gem. She did a comprehensive market analysis on the Brooklyn apartment I was eager to sell, recommended specific, cost-effective improvements and dissuaded me from wasting my money in others, and set a listing price that I initially thought was too high--but for which I received a number of offers. She is so enjoyable to work with, to say nothing of her extraordinary professionalism and dedication to her clients. - Jeff H., Cobble Hill

If you're looking for a real estate broker, look no further. Joanna is an exceptional broker, and so very pleasant to work with. She helped us purchase our first home, walked us through the entire process, was always very responsive, and very knowledgeable of the market. When you walk into an open house with her, you feel like you're bringing Michael Jordan to the local YMCA -- you're just so super confident and glad that she's your broker. - Arthur K., Ditmas Park
