About Joy

Hi, I'm Joy! I get it — buying or selling a home is a huge deal, and it's my job to make it a great experience for you. With a background in finance and an education degree from Augsburg University, I bring a unique mix of skills to the table. My goal isn't just to show you houses, but to teach you about the market, making sure you feel confident and clear about your investment every step of the way. You'll find me working with clients all over the Brainerd Lakes area and beyond — from Crosby and Deerwood to Aitkin, Nisswa, and Duluth. Whether you're a first-time buyer or a seasoned pro, my goal is simple: to earn your trust by acting with integrity, listening to what you need, and always having your back. I also love to get creative! Thanks to my passion for design and my home staging skills, I have a knack for seeing a home's true potential. Whether we're finding a diamond in the rough, that perfect lake cabin, or getting your place ready for its close-up, I'm here to guide you through the whole process. In my spare time, you can find me out on one of our many beautiful Minnesota lakes with my family, volunteering at Confidence Learning Center in Brainerd, or relaxing in a hammock with a good book. I enjoy helping others and would love to chat. If you're ready for your next move, let's make it happen together.
