About Joanne

Your Trusted Partner in Home Buying and Selling As an experienced realtor, my mission is to help my clients buy or sell property in Maryland, with a special focus on Ellicott City MD, Odenton MD, Columbia MD, Crofton MD, Hanover MD, Millersville MD, Frederick MD, Hagerstown and Bowie MD. Whether you're buying your Forever Home or facilitating the sale of your property, I am dedicated to helping you reach your goals. Why Work With Me? Extensive Business Experience: With over 20 years of experience as a strategic and tactful business negotiator in B2B, and as the founder of an award-winning business solutions company, I bring a unique value proposition to my real estate clients. My business acumen ensures that home sellers and buyers achieve their desired outcomes through expert negotiation and strategic planning. Personalized Approach: There's an old expression: "Home is where the heart is." I couldn't agree more. I believe everyone deserves a Home, not just a building, but a place as unique as they are, where joyful memories are made every day. I am here to help you find that Home or assist you in parting with a property to begin the next chapter of your life. Client-Focused Service: When you work with me, you'll see I treat this as more than a routine transaction. From our very first meeting, my focus is directly on you and your needs. My extensive experience in this market has helped me develop a complete understanding of the buying and selling process, as well as the small details unique to Maryland. I will be with you every step of the way, answering questions and providing the information you need to make confident decisions. Expert Negotiation Skills: Specializing in all forms of residential real estate, I understand that success in this industry requires more than just listing properties and filling out forms. It's about building relationships and connecting people to properties. When we find a buyer for your home or locate the right home for you, I will expertly negotiate the best terms possible. There's nothing better to me than seeing my happy clients at the closing table. Community and Family-Oriented: Before my career in real estate, I worked in business management and founded an IT Solutions company, where I remain on the Board of Directors. I am also a wife and mother to two wonderful children who bring me endless joy. I look forward to learning all about you when we meet.
