When we decided to upgrade our home we wanted to find a realtor who would be more than "just a Realtor".  This person would not only sell our current home, which was the easy part, but also help us find our next home.   We felt that to have someone help us find the home we would live in for the next possible 30 years, that person had to go beyond being a realtor and had to care about how happy we would be in that house after the sale.  We interviewed five Realtors before choosing Joan Cox.  At our first meeting, she gave us bottom line figures of costs showing us what we would possibly net to have towards our next house.  She had everything we wanted to know written out in black and white, some of which no other Realtor had given us during their interview.  Not information about the Company or their background but her background and what she would do for us.  This was a tremendous deciding issue because it told us she would not hide anything, all information was given before we even knew to ask about it.  During our selling period, she took the time to really discover what made us happy and what type of home and surrounding area would prosper that.  On top of that, she gave us an easier selling and buying experience than we imagined it would be.  I would, and have, recommend Joan to anyone.  My bottom line is that I would trust my mother with Joan and that's the best thing I can say about anyone.

Joan Cox was a real partner in helping us get into our new home. 

We were looking to relocate to Oklahoma and move into a home under construction.  The sale of our home in Aurora and the timing of that sale was critical in making this move.  Joan handled the sale of our house in Aurora from start to finish.  After a market study of the area, she gave us a realistic estimate of what she thought our house would bring.  This was critical in our decision to move and purchase the new place.  She candidly pointed out the things we could do to make the house more marketable and steered us away from those things that would not be that much help in the sale. 

Joan did a lot more than simply put a sign in front of the house and list the property in the MLS. She marketed the house with color flyers and ads in various magazines and newspapers.  She used her network of contacts to find other realtors who might have buyers interested in a property such as ours.  She held a number of open house showings and coordinated showings with other realtors.  After every showing she got feedback about the impressions - both good and bad - from the other realtor and their client. Throughout the whole process, she kept us appraised of what was going on, both with what she was doing to sell our house as well was what was happening in the local real estate market and how that affected us.

When we received an offer on our house, Joan negotiated on our behalf with a counter offer that successfully got us a sale price that was very close to her original estimate of the value of our home. Joan was able to set up a closing schedule with the buyer that dovetailed perfectly with the closing on our new home.

Joan also helped us with the purchase of our new home by using her network of contacts to find us a realtor in Oklahoma that would represent us in that deal. 

I have worked with several realtors over the years and Joan was not only one of the most professional, she was also truly concerned about her client's needs and finding a solution that worked for them.

In a time when integrity and professionalism is not always easy to find, my realtor has so pleasantly surprised me.  I have bought and sold seven homes in my lifetime and never experienced the slow and frustrating market we had last year.  Through Joan, I’ve learned more about the entire process - precautions to take in order to save myself money and grief, new legalities and requirements and simply how to make a deal go as smoothly as possible.  I will (and have) recommended Joan to everyone I know who is considering buying or selling a home.
