Here's what my clients are saying:
Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to us in our crazy home buying and selling experience. We couldn't have done it all without your support and assistance. You made buying (and selling) our first home so painless and easy. We appreciate that you were there for us 110%, going above and beyond to make a good offer and get us the best deal. We are forever grateful for your professionalism and friendship! --Jason and Niki Smith
In our time working with Joan we felt that she truly cared about our happiness in the purchase. That she was truly and personally excited when we purchased our first home. We would recommend her as a real estate agent to anyone and especially those new to the venture of home shopping!!! --SSG
I could write a whole page on our experience with you as a real estate agent. You are by far the best example of what a real estate agent should be. You are the most honest and caring agent. With an eye for detail that was the best. It was such a pleasure doing business with you. --Frank and Sue Sproehlich
Thank you so much for helping us find the perfect home! Since we were moving from out of state, we didn't know where to start. But, you were willing to search and visit listings in three counties until we found what we were looking for. Your commitment and professionalism really took the stress out of a stressful situation. We look forward to working with you in the future! --Dan and Vaneesa Cook
When we first decided to look for a house, the whole idea was quite overwhelming until we met Joan. In her positive outlook on life, her calming nature and her knowledge of real estate, she made the whole experience quite pleasant and the outcome was perfect for us. Joan was very dedicated to finding exactly what we were looking for and went way more than the extra mile it took to get us in the house we wanted. Her tromps through the woods in the winter searching for lot lines, checking out crawl spaces and being able to dream along with us where we would put furntiure before we even made an offer just made the purchase of our home extremely enjoyable and stress free! We sincerely recommend Joan Shortreed to anyone looking for their real estate purchase. She will definitely get our repeat business! --Dale and Debby Wilcox
