Joanne is at the top of the list of people that I've dealt with in any business, not just real estate. She is extremely knowledgeable, hard working and, most importantly, ethical. I am so impressed with how fair she is to both the buyer and seller. As with most real estate sales, there are always hurdles to overcome and she approaches them very calmly and gives great advice that I truly value. There are, of course, times that we don't agree and we have very candid discussions on possible approaches and then reach what I believe to be sound decisions. It's so nice to work with someone that you can truly trust. I would recommend her highly to anyone buying or selling real estate.

We have been working with Joanne for years now. She is very detailed oriented and trustworthy. I could nott ask for a better Realiter that always have our back. Whenever there is a question, that I do not understand, Joanne always seems to know the answer to or figures it out. She is very responsive with all of our inquiries. She is extremely personable, professional and dependable.

We found Joanne and her staff to be highly professional and competent. Her guidance through the selling process was especially helpful especially in terms of fixing those little things that best positioned our house for presentation. We never had to chase her for feedback after a showing or wait very long to get an answer to a question. We felt she was totally committed to representing us and serving our needs. We would definitely recommend Joanne to anyone who is selling or looking to buy a home.

Joanne Breen from ERA Sargis - Breen was the original real estate agent that helped us buy the house in 1982 and then to complete the circle she assisted us to resell the same house in April 2017. She did a great job on the way in and a superb job on the way out.
We really appreciated the personal interest she showed during the entire transaction cycle.
Joanne has demonstrated an in-depth knowledge of the rules and regulations governing the real estate field. She provided us with prompt and professional responses to alleviate our concerns and worries throughout the entire ordeal of selling our house toward which we had very deep emotional attachments.
Joanne is a very good reader of people's feelings. She is an exceptional agent and we consider ourselves very lucky to have had such a professional and dedicated agent on our side.
Joanne is a highly experienced and passionate agent who loves to help people achieve successful real estate transactions. We will recommend her services to anyone contemplating buying or selling a house.

Joanne did a fabulous job guiding us through the buying and selling process. While we weren't first time buyers it had been 10 years since we last moved. She helped us every step of the way and provided solid advice and guidance. We took her advice to heart and our house was under contract in just one day. She went above and beyond our expectations and was available all the time. If we ever move again, Joanne will be our first call!

Joanne is very professional, extremely knowledgeable, very organized, an excellent coordinator and a problem solver, She is honest, trustworthy,
hardworking and has an engaging personality. She understands client's needs and keeps the client constantly informed. She gives valuable advice, works diligently to resolve existing problems. For us, out of state buyers, she was invaluable with advice, information and attention. She recommended and retained an excellent inspector who pointed out trouble areas thus saving us money and unnecessary problems. She was most instrumental in moving forward the complicated process to its final resolution.
Joanne came to us recommended by another satisfied client. We consider Joanne a top professional and would highly recommend her to our family members, friends and anyone needing her professional services.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Joanne Breen in the sale of our home and purchase of a new one. I truly cannot say enough good things about Joanne. We had researched several agents, and upon our first meeting with Joanne, she instantly became the agent with whom we wanted to work.
Joanne was extremely knowledgeable and professional throughout the entire process. It was very comforting to work with someone who listened to what we wanted in a house and never pressured us to make an offer, but rather took the time to help us find our "dream home".
After the inspection of our previous home, Joanne assisted us in making the necessary repairs by providing us with a wealth of contacts and made herself readily available when needed. She even made several trips to our home to answer questions and offer advice.
We never felt like "just another client" with Joanne. She made us feel like we were family and she was truly invested in making sure we found the home that was perfect for us. She was always so positive and reassuring.
I have already recommended Joanne Breen to other friends who were ready to make a move and they were equally successful and very happy with her.
We're so grateful to have worked with such a top notch agent and we couldn't be happier in our new home!

From the first day of emailing Joanne, she was amazing. I could email her at any time with any question and she would get back to me with great information. My fiance and I were not incredibly specific with the type of home/area we wanted, but this didn't effect Joanne at all- she found and showed us some great houses that ended up helping us to narrow our criteria down. After only a few weeks, we found the perfect house for us and we thank Joanne for making the searching, buying, and negotiating process easy and stress free. Love Joanne!!

Joanne Breen is a consummate professional who gives realtors a good name. Her years of experience as an agent and owner-broker in both residential and commercial markets give me the confidence to rely on her for my real estate needs and happily refer her to others seeking the kinds of services she provides. Working with Joanne is such a pleasure as she is not only one to identify opportunities but to anticipate and solve any problems that can and often do arise in real estate transactions.

This is my third time having Joanne as my realtor and she has done right by me everytime. Buying and selling a home was an overwhelming process yet she made it feel easy by being there every step of the way. She was always quick to respond to my questions and educate me where I lacked the knowledge.
I always felt that my interests were her best interests and she knew what to help me look for and what to walk away from. I couldn't have done as well as I did without her expertise and for that I am so grateful.
I now have a beautiful home thanks to her and look forward to making many great memories.....
There truly is no one better qualified than Joanne to help you through the process.
