Have you ever put off doing something - not because you don’t want to do it but because you’re worried you won’t do it justice? That’s how I feel about reviewing Joan. I’ve dealt with 3 realtors in my life, and Joan is at the top. But she’s so far at the top, the other two rank at 467895 in comparison. Why? Joan is your realtor and best friend, she’s a confidante and a shark. She goes above and beyond and does each action with careful thought and dedication. She has a great gauge of the market at all times and knows exactly what is required in your offer to have success. She made sure to think of things that I would NEVER have thought to ask. Being an out of town buyer, Joan would go above and beyond, setting aside large blocks of her schedule to fit in as many listings as possible, and she did so with unwavering patience and excitement. I’m excited to have bought a house, but I’m also excited because now I have a Joan who promises to come help hang Christmas lights! I was lucky enough to be referred to Joan by a friend of a friend, and I hope that I can be that friend for you. Take the leap and choose Joan Bissdorf for your realtor. You will not regret it.

Words can’t express how lucky we are to have found Joan! My husband and I were relocating back to MA, and in a time crunch to find a home we loved. Joan was there every step of the way, and we trusted her. She went above and beyond! Since we could not physically be in the area, she went to all the open houses for us and provided the most detailed feedback (the good and bad). If it was not Joan-approved, we did not need to know more. She really tries to understand her clients’ needs and has an excellent grasp of the current real estate market. She is a very personable, patient, and genuine person. We would recommend her to anybody!

It was my first time moving to the US and Joan's thoughtful and diligent nature really made things seamless and alleviated a lot of my worries, putting me at ease before flying in. In the initial stages being in a different timezone, Joan would initiate zoom meetings during her nighttime to understand the type of place and environment I wanted to live in, help me understand the real estate landscape in Massachusetts and answer all of my questions in a detailed manner. She has great knowledge of the different areas and shared information what to out for etc. After shortlisting a couple a places, she'd view the houses and send over detailed walkthroughs of the spaces. Once I chose a place, she constantly updated me on the status on securing the place and made the entire process smooth. This helped me free up my mental capacity to focus on other aspects I needed to take care of to move over to the US. To top it all off, as I was flying in late at night and the house was not furnished, Joan went the extra mile to provide household items so that I would have a comfortable first night after a long flight without my even asking. I really appreciate that Joan was constantly thinking of my needs and trying to make things as easy as can be. Would definitely recommend Joan to anyone looking for a place to stay!

Joan was recommended to us by a friend for our house-buying quest in the Boston area, and boy, that was one awesome recommendation. Unfortunately, we could not be present during the house viewings, as we were living on the other side of the country and wanted to buy a house quickly in the Boston suburbs, due to our fast-paced job changes. Joan spent a lot of time parsing through the houses based on our needs. She would go above and beyond to visit the houses, make video tours, and discuss them with us over video conferencing. She made sure we were moving through our search swiftly, which sometimes meant the calls would be late at night. At times, she made the decisions for us when certain red flags were noticed on some houses. She worked with us on strategies to make our offer stand out, and it worked like a charm after a few tries. We would recommend her with closed eyes and we personally would not go anyone else.

This is our second time working with Joan- the first was a home sale, and now a purchase. We were out-of-state and looking to relocate back to Boston. Joan was able to secure an off-market viewing of a house, and given that we were not physically there, she visited the property and recorded detailed videos with commentary that she later uploaded to Google Drive. This process gave us the confidence to move forward with a flight ticket purchase for an in-person visit. She was effective in handling negotiations, which not only landed us an accepted offer with terms that we wanted, but also an appraised value that was higher than the purchase price.

Without doubt, Joan is a consummate professional whose experience shows.
