They made the process that was, at times, nerve racking, much easier to handle. As it turned out, selling our house was not an easy “slam dunk” as there were issues with a house that was effectively 24 years old after a major remodel and expansion in 2000. Through it all, Joy and her team helped us work out all the issues that arose culminating in a very successful sale. My wife Kelly and I highly recommend Joy and her team to help you through the sale process and achieve a successful sale." Read Less

"Joy and her team at Houlihan Lawrence did an absolutely outstanding job selling my mother’s home - the home I grew up in that she and my late father had owned for 46 years before h… Read Moreis passing in September of 2022. Joy was able to sell the home at 40% over asking price in a difficult real estate market for sellers. She had perfect judgement as to how to get the best price. The team kept my Mom and I informed every step of the way and were incredibly responsive. As an example, when I first called Joy she offered to come over to see the home the same day, and wound up coming over the next day due to our schedules.Then she led my Mom and I through the process of sale and was able to get an extremely competitive offer (all cash with no contingencies other than underground oil tank removal) in less than a week after listing. Joy also had great recommendations for an attorney, David Hopper, who we were very happy with, as well as a home organizer, Matt Baier, who also did an outstanding job in getting the house cleaned out and organized for sale and my Mom’s move. Joy and her team are also incredibly thoughtful about the “little things.” They put together a book of pictures of the house that my Mom greatly appreciated, had dinner delivered to us one night while we were packing out the house, and Joy even stopped by in person on multiple occasions just to check in before closing. Overall, I’d highly recommend Joy and her team of Stephanie Sheehan and Arielle McGregor for any residential real estate transaction. Joy and team - Thanks for taking care of my mother during the most difficult period of her life." Read Less
