"Joyce helped me deal with a difficult seller and took the time to locate homes in the areas that I liked. At the time there was a shortage of homes and home prices were unstable. Due to her careful investigation with the help of inspectors, and in particular a reputable heating/air conditioning contractor it was discovered that the heat exchanger was cracked and therefore could have caused carbon monoxide poisoning. The heater was fixed at the seller’s expense. I would recommend Joyce if you want a skilled and careful Realtor." - Jerome

"Joyce, I cannot thank you enough for your prompt responsiveness in San Mateo recently to view the properties that you had previously viewed with Jeff, on my behalf. That was truly exceptional. You are a dynamic agent and Jeff and I are so pleased to be working with you. Thank you again, for your eleventh-hour turnaround accommodating my schedule." - Michael

"I want to take this opportunity to thank you for all your help during the difficult decision to sell my parent’s long-term home on three acres in Woodside. You helped me so much during the past two and a half years as I came to this decision, first regarding the rental of the property.
Once we got into the actual selling process you were so patient as things surfaced beyond our or your control. You assured me that you could handle things for me as I had a surgery during the beginning of the process and you successfully negotiated with our very difficult tenant.
And then in the end, you found a buyer with whom we were able to negotiate easily and in a very friendly manner. I was most happy with the people who bought the house, especially since I was so emotionally attached to our family’s home.
Working with you was even “fun” when we were able to laugh together, sharing our similar sense of humor.
I am so happy that the sale was positive for you as well as for us. This time period is known for being a difficult one in the real estate business and you found us a buyer with the first two weeks, nothing short of a miracle in our eyes.
I will be happy to refer you to any of our friends, knowing that they will have your total commitment, expertise and desire for their satisfaction." - Diane

"I remember the day we met…you were previewing property for a client and I was walking our neighborhood. You arrived and said, can you guess the price of this home and that was the start of a friendship for years.
As part of a religious organization, I was one of the people tasked with locating a place to live. We were considering renting. You carefully, and thoroughly answered our concerns and then, our Executive Director flew out to meet you and worked with you to start the process to locate the best property. In the end you handled the sale of two duplexes for a few of us to live. You handled all the paperwork and all the transactional details with our out-of-state contacts. Within our time frame you were able to locate two properties where we have a comfortable home to live. The units have lots of charm and space and neighborhoods that we can walk around and share our prayers.
We recommend you highly and look forward to working with you again." - Suzanne
