Kind Words From Our Clients
Joyce was referred to me from a friend. I wanted someone with a good reputation, honesty and integrity, coupled with lots of real estate experience as I had both a house to sell and a condo to buy.
Joyce is wonderfully organized and professional. I was extremely happy with her accessibility as well as her ongoing feedback. Her negotiating skills are second to none.
The time was always taken to explain things and to make sure everything was understood. Joyce’s team was very professional and courteous, a great team to work with. Fabulous job guys! I couldn’t imagine anyone doing a better job.
Bravo Joyce and team!

Agent(s):“Joyce’s team was amazing and helped us find our dream home! Joyce met with us and went through what to expect about buying a house and some of the hidden fees. Although we were not first time buyers it was still valuable information.
We were coming in from 3 hours away so Joyce ensured we got to see as many homes as possible and REALLY LISTENED to our needs. This saved precious time not looking at properties that would not suit our needs.
She was very accommodating with our schedule which was challenging due to the distance. She went above and beyond by recommending a local lawyer, a place to get appliances and even good restaurants while we were in town.
Joyce explained the pros and cons of each area as we were not very familiar with London and the small towns surrounding London. She also would point out challenges in the homes we looked at and not only point out the positives which was very valuable as sometimes you can overlook this when you see a property you like.
She is a great negotiator and a skilled professional. I give the team 5 stars and would not hesitate to recommend them or use the Team’s added service again. Thank you for helping us buy the home we had dreamed of!”

Agent(s):“Joyce Byrne and her team were outstanding beyond praise. I live near Ottawa and could not have sold my mother’s house in St. Thomas in such a timely manner and at a very good price without Joyce’s unbelievable help.
She guided me every step of the way and her expert advice allowed my mother’s house to sell within 2 weeks and over asking. It is a modest house, but I got better service from Joyce than agents in the Ottawa area selling million dollar properties. I would highly recommend Joyce and her team; you cannot do any better.
Joyce was straightforward and had an honest approach. She had a plan to sell the house whereas other agents ‘Will give it a try’. Joyce was wonderful. She is the standard that all agents should aspire to be.”

Agent(s):“We had decided to sell our own home privately, after not being very impressed with the services of realtors in the past. We met Joyce since she was the agent representing the sellers of the home we bought. Even though we were not her clients, Joyce went above and beyond by helping us with every detail of the purchasing process, even providing us with useful checklists and contacting our bank and lawyer on our behalf.
We were so impressed; we decided to hire her to sell our own home. Joyce’s services included a home inspection, an interior decorator, a photographer and ample advertising.We had close to 100 people at our first open house and we sold within 10 days.We continually receive helpful emails, checklists and care during the entire process. This is the first time we did not begrudge paying the realtor fee”

Agent(s):If you are looking for the right person to help you buy or sell a property, you have it in the person of Joyce Byrne and her team!
In the past 15 years, Joyce has done four transactions for us!
We have been more than pleased with the efficiency with which she has handled sales in all cases. With her vast experience, and extensive knowledge about what buyers are really looking for.
Joyce began by researching comparable properties in the area as well as those presently for sale. Then based on the special features of our home, she was able to provide an evaluation and arrive at a competitive market price. She did the same process when we purchased homes.
Members of her team included a professional stager and she even supplied us with a staging tips manual that gave good suggestions for arranging furniture etc., in order to show our home to its best advantage. And when we bought Stephanie came over and did a complimentary decorating appointment to help us settle in!
As well, a recognized home inspector pointed out any deficiencies we correct and a professional photographer prepared colour photos and a virtual tour which were displayed in a brochure which described the features of our home. Our home sold in 7 days.
Joyce vetted buyer inquiries to determine those who were merely “curiosity seekers” and those who were prospective buyers. Ample notice was given us each time a showing took place, wo we were not unduly inconvenienced and had time to ensure that our home was in tip-top shape for the showing.
In all of the four transactions, there was an offer that we were prepared to accept within a week! Joyce negotiated small changes on our behalf, and happily, the process came to an end in quick order!
Working with Joyce has been an exhilarating experience and we have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending her and her team to anyone selling or buying.
Thanks again Joyce and team!

Agent(s):“Being a first time home buyer seemed like a daunting task. There are so many steps involved, and many details to take care of. With Joyce and her team not only was the process easy and painless, it was very enjoyable.

Thank you Joyce!”

Agent(s):“Thank you Joyce Byrne for all your guidance and especially your patience during the sale of my condo in Port Stanley.
Moving out went smoothly with Two Men and a Truck- another thanks is warranted for your recommendation and your calls to them during your vacation!
I expected some stress during the transaction but not surprised by how you speedily took care of everything.
Your wonderful personal and professional reputation preceded my initial call to you.
Take care of yourself.”

Agent(s):“Well what can I say about Joyce; only that she is the best agent out there. Always available to talk; knows the area like the back of her hand.
Gets the job done in a fun and professional manner.
This is our third moving experience with joyce and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Thanks again for helping us purchase our new home and recommending an agent to help sell our home in Goderich.
our experience and knowledge is spot on and makes a potentially stressful situation an enjoyable one. Because our house sold fast we had to decide quickly and in one long but productive day we found our new home.
Once all the paperwork was completed we were dreading the home inspection but the inspector you recommended made the inspection a breeze and the few things he found you addressed to have them fixed by the seller before we took possession.
As always, we expect honesty, integrity and an agent with experience to assist us with our real estate needs.
When it came time to make a move we went with Joyce and received the same excellent qualities of professionalism, feedback, skills and accessibility.
Joyce really could not have done better as she went out of her way to assist us.
We have enjoyed working with Joyce and making the experience of finding a new home enjoyable!”
