"My husband and I met Joan in January of 2017. I contacted Joan and let her know that we were just beginning to explore Arizona as a possible retirement location. We had heard about the Prescott area and wanted to explore it. I let Joan know that we could not guarantee her a sale as we were still very uncertain as to wher… e our final retirement location would be. She was very understanding and welcoming right from the beginning. Joan listened well and showed us the areas that matched our interest. She did not waste our time. She gave us a true feel for the area. She showed us what Prescott and Prescott Valley had to offer in terms of our interests and needs. She answered our questions thoughtfully and clearly. Where she did not know, she openly admitted it and then got back to us with additional information. By the time we left Prescott we felt we had a very good feel for the area.Joan stayed in touch with us, continuing to send us information she thought would be of interest and answering any questions we had. We returned to Prescott again in the summer of 2017, for three weeks, as Prescott had by that time become one of our finalist destinations. Joan worked with us again fine tuning our fit. At the end of this trip we had selected the town of Prescott as our retirement location. Joan was diligent in her work with us. We had many ups and downs and throughout it all Joan listened effectively, understood not only our needs but our concerns. She never pressured us.In 2018 we sold our home and headed to Prescott. Joan was ready for us when we arrived and began working with us immediately. Then we found it, the perfect home in the perfect location. Joan got us in to see the developer within an hour of viewing the location which had just been put on the market the day before. We put a hold on it and entered into contract the next day. It took 9 months to build our new home (right on schedule) and we closed in 2019. Throughout the whole process, Joan was an advocate for us and gave us a very clear understanding of how everything would work and supported us throughout. We highly recommend Joan. She is not just a very capable, hardworking and competent realtor but she is also a lovely person."
