What Joie's clients say about her:
We want to express our gratitude for all of your assistance during the search for and purchase of our condo in Celebration. When one picks a real estate agent on the Internet, it is with some degree of trepidation. We were very nervous about whether we had the right agent - we needn't have worried. As we were leaving Orlando after our first meeting and search with you, we both agreed that we had really lucked out - and that was just the beginning.
Your advice and counsel were invaluable throughout our search and your patience during our repetitive visits to our favorite communities and properties was commendable. When we needed reassurance before finalizing our contract for the Artisan Park condo, you made yourself available on short notice and helped us with one last visit to our alternative sites - two days after Hurricane Charley hit Orlando.
With the contract signed and your commission locked in, it would have been reasonable to expect that we had seen and heard the last of you until closing, but you continued to stay in touch with us and with St. Joe to keep us informed of the progress of construction on the condos. You always seemed to be able to get more information on the status of the construction than we were and you provided us with pictures when your were in the neighborhood. We enjoyed being able to get together over lunch on our funiture shopping visits to Orlando over the nearly two-year construction period.
Unfortunately, when construction was "complete" and we closed on the property, St. Joe did not deliver the property in the condition we expected. Again, no one could have faulted you for wishing us the best and going about your business. Instead, you followed-up with us to see how things were going and your calls to St. Joe helped us get their attention and resolve the problems. It was very reassuring for us to have you working on our behalf.
Joie, we just couldn't be happier with our experience with you. You not only displayed professionalism at every turn, you demonstrated a commitment that went well beyon helping us acquire our property. We sincerely hope that you will stay in tourch in the future.
While we know that you are compensated for your services, money can't buy the quality of service you provide. You can be assured that we will refer anyone we know that needs an agent in Orlando to you. We highly recommend you to anyone and everyone who wants to deal with the best.

I was lucky to have Joie as my Buyer's Agent in acquiring a successful investment property. I really felt that my best interest was her main concern. She was professional, devoted and honest. Thank you Joie for a job well done.
-Chana Zuckerman
After meeting Joie, we immediately felt comfortable and wound up buying property through her. She was diligent with follow up and thorough when it came to answering all of our questions. We continue to keep in contact with each other.
-Jeff and Kelly Werner
We cannot speak more highly of Joie. As UK buyers with almost no knowledge of the US property scene she patiently pre-identified a number of properties, and thanks to her professionalism and attention to detail we secured our dream vacation home without hitch. Joie’s interest did not stop there, however, and we keep in close touch regarding our future investment plans. We have no hesitation in putting our closest friends and family in touch with Joie.
