My husband and I were fortunate to meet Joan in 1982. She acted as our agent in buying and selling our first home (1983-1988), and in buying our second home (1997). She handled all the large and small details, making us confident about these important decisions, especially when we were first-time buyers. With Joan’s guidance, both our purchases proved to be excellent investments. As buyers and sellers, we appreciate Joan’s competent professionalism. Even more, we love that her service to us has continued all these years af... read more

My wife and I got our first home through Joan. She took us through all the steps and went above and beyond on making sure we not only knew what everything was and meant but also that we understood it. She made my purchase and my experience that less painful. She is extremely knowledgable in the real estate world and was highly recommended through friends and family. She made sure that every detail is worked out and really goes after what you want in a house and gets you the best deal!! She is such a breath of fresh air and w... read more

We will forever be grateful to Joan for the wonderful work she did for us when we were looking for a home. From start to finish, Joan was professional and demonstrated her vast experience, helping us to avoid many potential pitfalls and negotiating all the details (no matter how tiny) on our behalf. Moreover, Joan is a wonderful friend and has continued to keep in contact with us since we moved into our new house. At our very first meeting, Joan asked us many thorough questions about our likes and dislikes, preferences, any ... read more

We were first-time home buyers with no knowledge of real estate, and a fairly small budget. Joan gave us all the knowledge we needed to understand the process so we could make informed decisions. She told us about the steps in the process, how certain things would get done, and what the various options for financing we had given our budget and income. Joan asked us a lot of questions to help us figure out what we really wanted out of a home, then used that to find a set of choices that fit our needs. She took us to see a lo... read more

I have used Joan to help me with three homes and each one was a great experience. First she helped me buy a home and the level of detail she goes through to ensure a fair and surprise-free transaction just can't be beat. Secondly she managed a rental home for me. Joan handled rent collection which wasn't always easy but her persistence and determination to stay on top of the home's condition saved me from serious problems. Finally I recently had Joan handle the sale of my family home. I knew I had to follow Howe directions t... read more

Joan Raley was terrific to work with, in every capacity, with my recent home sale. I had heard of her outstanding work, for years, so I reached out to her immediately (and first) when I needed to sell my home as a part of a recent career relocation across the country. I was not disappointed. She is thoughtful, thorough, and has a wealth of resources available to assist the home-seller in navigating through the process (e.g., preparing the home for listing, pricing it to sell, recommended upgrades and/or essential repairs, ... read more

My husband Randy and I met Joan Raley in 1990 when we wanted to list our home for sale. She was referred to us by a co-worker who was very savvy in his personal business matters. We knew our home would be a challenge to sell. It needed extensive repairs. Additionally, the property was unique; it was located on small acreage which included fruit and pecan trees-alot of upkeep for two working folks. Joan found the perfect buyer for the property within a short period of time. Afterwards, she found a house for us which was much... read more

It is my pleasure to write about Joan. I have known her over 40 years. Never once have I become aware of her failure to provide the utmost professionalism whether it was when she was teaching or now when selling Tallahassee. Joan freely offers you her compassion, expertise, and knowledge of Tallahassee whether you be buying or selling. Should you have a household emergency or are in need of a trusted professional for a myriad of repairs or upgrades, don't allow yourself to be caught without a copy of Joan's Home Helper List.... read more

We had seven buying and selling transactions with Joan over the years. She always provides excellent top-notch, professional service! She sold my parent's house in three days at a top price. She found a house for my daughter and said we had to move on it immediately if we wanted it. We did and got the house--just hours before a another offer came in. She gave us excellent advice, we followed it and got the house! She communicates well, follows-up and pays attention to detail. All of our transactions have gone very smoothly... read more
