I assist my home seller clients by preparing a thorough market evaluation of their home, and in establishing the proper pricing for their home, in order that we can lead the market, rather than follow it, which ultimately is how we will net them the most money, and in the shortest time. I write creative, effective advertising, and use my internet expertise to showcase their home to the most potential buyers looking for a home with those features. And when we receive an offer, I thoroughly review its points with my seller clients, and negotiate to get them top dollar. And I follow thru with each step of the closing process, to insure a smooth experience for my home sellers.

And one thing that really sets me apart from other realtors is I will assist my clients stage their home to make it most appealing to potential buyers. I have studied home staging, and am very good at transforming the look of rooms by furniture placement and accessorizing. Home staging is crucial to selling a home, especially in this market, and to realize the home's maximum sale price. When I list a home for sale, I actually assist my clients by helping them move furniture to accentuate a focal point in the rooms, and to improve the spaciousness and flow of the room. I use accessories they already have throughout their home to make interest in the rooms, and this staging service is included as part of what I do when I list a home. And I will also recommend removing wallpaper, painting or other improvements as needed.

Client Testimonials

JoAnn, I want to thank you for all the effort, time, and compassion you showed in selling my home. Even though the market was rough, you always showed me so much confidence and determination that my home would sell. With your years of experience, and with your kindness and understanding, you made me feel at ease through the entire process. I now consider you to be much more than a realtor...I now call you a friend. I really appreciate all you have done. Thank you for everything.

Over the past 20 years, JoAnn has sold 3 homes for me, and she has also represented me when I purchased 2 homes, including the one I just bought in Nov. 2009. JoAnn has amazed me many times with her expertise, invaluable advice, and with the miraculous way she can creatively make things happen even in a tough market. She has proven to me that she is a consummate professional and a tireless worker. I would never consider hiring anyone else but her to represent me in any real estate purchase or sale.

Thank you so much for your support and endless efforts in selling my home. Your enthusiasm and attention to detail were endless. The website you created displaying my home, your suggestions and willingness all contributed to the sale. Your knowledge and many years of experience were invaluable. It could have been a very stressful time for me for many reasons, but you guided me through it all. I am eternally grateful. Thank you for selling my home quickly and getting me top dollar, and helping me to purchase the home of my dreams. It would not have happened without you JoAnn !!

Kim G., N Ridgeville

Thank you for everything! I didn't tell you this before, but other realtors I had spoken with told me that my home would only sell for XXXX. Then, I met you, and you told me I could get a lot more for it than they had said. I'm so glad that I decided to go with you, JoAnn!! You ended up getting me so much more money for my home, and you did it quickly. You told me what you would do to sell my house, and YOU DID IT! Thank you for everything!!

JoAnn, When you sold our home in Bay Village, after 3 other realtors couldn't sell it, I knew I would never think of dealing with any realtor, except you! And then you sold my mom's 1-bedroom condo in Westlake, in this difficult real estate market, and got us more than we expected! I can't say enough to thank you. I tell everyone that you could sell anything!

Susan N., Avon

And we LOVE our new home!!
