Joanne Tavis is an outstanding agent to work with -- well-connected, knowledgeable and professional in all respects. I met Joanne through a mutual friend when I was looking to purchase my first home in NYC and she was by my side from the first open house and offer – helping me through the coop board approval process, the financing phase and through closing and beyond. (Joanne is the first person I called three years after buying the apartment when my refrigerator was running hot instead of cold, and she immediately arranged for an excellent local repair person to come and take a look). Joanne will work tirelessly to get what she believes is the best deal for you. Over the years, she has become a close and trusted friend. She is a skilled listener and negotiator, with very in-depth knowledge of the local neighborhoods. I recommend Joanne wholeheartedly to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

My first encounter with Joanne was when I became her neighbor 10 years ago. We quickly became friends sharing meals and lots of laughs. When I decided to sell my apartment to downsize Joanne priced it higher than I expected but soon sold it at ask. I told her I want a new apartment in Southgate, she insisted we look at other apartments to ensure that I was getting exactly what I wanted. I ended up in Southgate thanks to Joanne’s negotiating skills with the seller with an apartment that I love. Joanne has incredible market knowledge, is warm and welcoming and honest.

Joanne not only sold my first apartment for six times what I paid for it (my head still spins at this), she found us a new one that was perfect and negotiated a price that blew me away. She knows her market, for sure, but she also knew exactly what I wanted and she found it. I’ve been on both sides of the buyer-seller equation with Joanne and beyond her professionalism, I value her integrity. I never doubted her commitment to me. In her business, integrity equals trust. And trust is pure gold.
