Joelle Smith, Real Estate Agent at Compass 14 Essex Street, Andover, MA 01810

"Having Joelle as your realtor is like having a secret super power. In this competitive market, you really can't afford not to have someone like Joelle. She is 100 percent on top of her game-- knows all the competitive strategies and when to employ them. She helped us land our dream home when there were 10 competitive offers. We almost didn't put a bid because we felt so intimidated at the open house when we went by ourselves and saw how crowded it was. But then we went back to see the house with Joelle and the air changed lol. The seller realtors recognized her and immediately took us seriously as competitive buyers. We talked through a whole list of potential strategies and Joelle told us honestly what she thought would help make our application stand out. Joelle also goes above and beyond, connecting us with contractor recommendations, lenders with great mortgage rates, even recs for where to grab a tasty bite lol. I am very grateful and will recommend her to everyone I know looking to buy out here."

"Joelle helped us sell our home to buy our forever home. From start to finish, with lots of bumps along the way, Joelle was there to guide us and offer assistance and recommendations. During an exciting yet stressful time, her professionalism, knowledge and accessibility for any questions or concerns we had along the way, made the whole process navigable. She also recommended service providers who were top notch. We don’t just think of Joelle as our realtor but as our friend. She’s the best!!!"

"Consider yourself so lucky if you get the chance to work with Joelle! As first time home buyers, Joelle made the process so easy for us. We appreciated that she spent time with us to make sure we understood the process. She was also very responsive (I don't know how she does it!!) and always made herself available whether it was for a house tour or to answer a question. We ultimately ended up with the perfect house because of Joelle's guidance! She's the best!"

"Joelle is the best! We didn't think we would be able to find a house in our price range that met all of our needs in any of the towns where we wanted to buy, but Joelle found us the perfect home on a beautiful side street in Melrose. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the only reason we are able to move houses! Joelle was a comforting and reassuring partner throughout the home-buying process, dealing with curveballs like difficult sellers and giving us excellent recommendations for contractors to help update some features of the house before we moved in. We are team #JoelleforLife - we can't imagine ever working with a different realtor!"

"Joelle was amazing to work with from the very beginning! This was our first time buying a home and we’re clueless about where to start! We weren’t the 20% down couple, which made it tricky in this current housing market. The process was extremely overwhelming, especially with the hight interest rates and not being able to waive contingencies within our budget. Joelle was able to walk us through the entire process and was always available to answer our questions at any time of day. She made sure to send us any listings within our budget and worked to help us put our best offer in to ensure we would be comfortable with our monthly payment. She was able to get creative with our offers to help us be more competitive in the area that we were looking to move. She also helped connect us with a great lawyer and lender. We are so happy that we were able to find a home and it would not have been possible without Joelle working overtime to help us land a house within our budget! It was also a bonus to have her daughter help entertain our daughter during house visits (major bonus). If you are looking to buy a house, Joelle is the one to work with!"
