Nancy & Bill Lusk

“We met Joan in 2005 when she agreed to be our Realtor for the sale of our home in Fairfax. Her friendly, professional manner gained our confidence and total trust from the onset. She guided us in staging the home and helped arrange for some minor repairs. She professionally and effectively negotiated all the offers received and the home sold after just three days—it was a seller’s market—and we received top price. We were highly pleased with Joan’s work. Fast forward seven years. It became necessary to put my Mother’s Arlington home on the market. I called Joan from our home in South Carolina to ask if she could handle the sale. Different market, different circumstances but Joan quickly brought order to the situation. She helped me find someone to handle an estate sale; she was both friend and consultant. She brought in a painter and supervised the painting of the interior of the house. She eased the entire process which could have been difficult long-distance. We trusted Joan with our best interests and she again exceeded our expectations. The home sold in just a couple of weeks. In a buyers’ market, Joan negotiated the best price for the house. In both experiences, Joan kept in close communication with us throughout so we never “wondered what was happening.” Joan is such a joy and pleasure to work with; we just wish we had more houses for her to sell for us!”
