"We had met Joanna in the neighborhood and immediately liked her from the start. She had done an amazing job representing other properties in our area and knew she would be the ideal candidate. If I could give her a score even better than excellent in all of these categories I would happily do so! She was so efficient and amazing to deal with. I wish I had more properties for her to sell! If Joanna could duplicate herself so that everyone could experience her amazing talents, that would be wonderful."
ā€” E. Ellis, South Yarmouth, Seller



"Joanna was fantastic! I believe she has a long and prosperous future in the industry. She is a beautiful young lady who represents the company really well! A definite keeper. She is solid in her knowledge in real estate which made us as the client very confident that she would not have any problem selling our property. Thank you, Joanna!"
ā€” S. Killala, Harwich, Seller

"Joanna was truly amazing. Her personality is lovely, and she is so easy to work with. She made this potentially stressful event devoid of stress due to her nature and her knowledge. We were so lucky to have her and she worked so well with all of the family members and went above and beyond to help all of us. I would recommend her to anyone and I am sure they would have the same wonderful experience."
ā€” M. Gribko, West Yarmouth, Seller

She is well prepared and professional and could write the script on how to sell your house!"
ā€” L. Kennedy, Marstons Mills, Seller



"Joanna was fantastic! She knew we had to return to Florida ASAP with a family situation. I would highly recommend Joanna to anyone I know that would be interested in either selling or purchasing a home. Joanna understood our needs and the importance of listing and selling the property as quickly as possible. She took care of all major and minor issues that were brought up after we left. I cannot thank Joanna enough. She is truly an asset to her company. Joanna you are the BEST! Thank you again, Mike and Sharon"
ā€” M & S Eggert, Dennis Port, Seller



"Joanna Forbes is an excellent agent, helpful, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic throughout the process. As I live out-of-state, it was very important to have someone who knew the area well, and who could help with all the matters, big and small, needed when selling a home. Joanna actively solicited input, kept me in the loop as the process unfolded, and was on top of all the details."
ā€” B. Mulligan, West Yarmouth, Seller



"I highly recommend working with Joanna Forbes from Kinlin Grover. Joanna took the best pictures of the condo and property, and helped with any and all questions. Anything I forgot about, or forgot to ask, Joanna had it covered. I feel so lucky to have had Joanna be a part of my condo sale, and for making the entire process so easy."
ā€” A. Lovatt, West Dennis, Seller



"Although I may have met the "Agent on the desk" when I entered the Office, Lynn and I felt very fortunate as Joanna gave us quick assurance that our best interests would be tended to and that was shown throughout the process!!!"
ā€” R&L Matthews, West Yarmouth, Seller"

Bailey Island, Maine

"I interviewed 2 reputable agents before selecting Joanna to be the agent to represent me in the sale of my cousinā€™s house as a Trustee of his Estate.  Joannaā€™s honesty is what sets her apart from many agents.  She determined a realistic sales price, explained what needed to be done to the house to make it more marketable, and detailed the townā€™s requirements for selling a home.  Joanna supplied all of this advice prior to being hired as the selling agent.  She could easily have omitted some of her advice or set a higher selling price, but she did not do so.

Joannaā€™s integrity, combined with her knowledge, efficiency, constant availability, and great communication skills made Joanna an agent who was a pleasure to work with in selling the house.  Hiring Joanna was a terrific decision that made the difficult process of selling a loved-one's house much easier!"
