TESTIMONIALS INLCUDE:

I have bought and sold many homes over the years. And, I have never- and I sincerely mean never- enjoyed working with a realtor like I have with Joan Brown. She epitomizes everything you want in an agent, whether you are buying or selling: she listens to you; fully represents you; she works tirelessly to get a solid deal and doesn't rest until it's done; she is exceedingly warm, experienced, intelligent and skilled at negotiating. She knows her market and knows how to best market a home. I wouldn't work with anyone but Joan Brown in Detroit and the surrounding metropolitan area!

Mary Mast

Wow. Try selling a house three time zones to the east. Thankfully we found Joan. Joan knew the market, priced the house fairly and, most importantly, communicated. Selling your parents’ home is an emotional experience and it's always worth much more to the children than to the buyers. Joan showed remarkable sensitivity to those competing forces. She moved the process along, despite a very difficult buyer, and got the sale completed. I have never met Joan in person but consider her a friend. Highly recommended. Highly. Use her. She will get you very pleasing results.

Joan struck me as an extremely competent realtor. As a surgeon, I have come to expect people with whom I work to be able to think for themselves, identify what needs to be done to reach a goal, and work as hard as necessary to achieve success regardless of how much time it takes. Most people do not have enough pride to work at such a level. Joan was quite the opposite. My confidence in her ability minimized the stress of selling the house. I give Joan Brown my highest recommendation.
