Joan is a ‘deal maker… not a deal breaker’ and she protects her clients. She always commands respect because she is smart, thorough and results-oriented.”

She can manage a team of skilled professionals because she conveys a confidence and competence necessary in complex real estate deals. Joan knows how and when to negotiate, overcome obstacles and complete the transaction.”
