Clients Testimonials

What our clients have to say:

 

* Dave said,

"Joan and Vanissa did a fantastic job for me. They advised me on how to best prepare my home for showing and gave me an accurate assessment on what to expect through the process. In less than a week on the market, I received a couple good offers that lead to a negotiated price that was very satisfactory. The Woodlands Team was always very responsive, thorough and personable. I highly recommend them for anyone’s real estate needs."

 

* Keith said,

“Vanissa and Joan make a great team where each works well with their client to keep them informed on the

market and interest in their property. Always professional and courteous, I would easily recommend Vanissa &

Joan to anyone looking for a great home selling (or buying) experience!”

 

* Tim and Beth said,

“This is the second time we have used The Woodlands Team to buy and sell a house, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Vanissa and her team are a true pleasure to work with. They worked hard to make sure we bough exactly the home we were looking for, and were outstanding in selling the home we were in. We give them our highest recommendation!”

 

* Mike & Wendy said,
"My wife and I moved corporately more than 10 times. Needless to say, we’ve worked with a lot of Realtors. Joan Townsend was the best realtor we ever worked with. She listened to the parameters we set for what we liked and could afford. She never wasted our time showing us houses outside our price range. In addition, when we found the house we wanted to purchase, she was instrumental in helping us secure it at the lowest possible price. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing the services of a Realtor."

 

* Mark said,
 "Found Joan to be very knowledgeable and very understanding of her clients wishes, even when thrown different curveballs from me, she didn’t miss a step, she made the whole process very easy. I would highly recommend Joan to anyone who is looking for a good trustworthy realtor."

* Joan & Harold. said,

"Joan is the BEST. I would definitely ask her to sell other properties for me. She is super professional and

very well educated in her profession. She is very much in tune with your feelings and has seen us through

the entire sales process, lifting our spirits when needed. Our house had been up for sale for over a year

prior to meeting Joan. Within a month Joan

 

* Chuck said,

“Honesty & Integrity.... Her Daddy was a Texas Ranger. Need I say more. The apple did not fall far from the tree. I trusted her to sell me a house and she helped sell my house and even set up a contact in Kansas City when I moved 7 years later. Very easy to get ahold of and genuine in her approach and work ethic. Her local knowledge was excellent and she helped negotiate a great deal on a new build. Her expertise in all aspects of buying and selling ensured that I recieve what I wanted and felt I recieved a VALUE and again when he sold my house I recieved more than I expected in a shorter amount of time. I can't say enough about how Vanissa helped my wife while I was working in a new city and was not there to oversee some renovation work to maximize the price point. She was incredibley supportive and did far more than I would have expected out of a real estate professional. I absolutely found the ideal person for the job and she was recommended to me from a colleague when I first moved to Houston. GREAT LADY!!!”

 

* Olena  said,
"Over the last years, I've been through several real estate transactions and met with, probably, seven or eight agents and still did not find the right person to hire. I wish I met Joan in the beginning of that journey. I needed a lot of advice and she provided it to me very tactfully, in right dosage, at right time. When I was choosing between a more expensive and a less expensive houses and asked her opinion on which I should get, she account for my interests and not for the size of her commission. Representing the best interest of her client comes organic to her. She is genuine and sharp. "

 

* Brenda & Dan said,

“Highly recommend Vanissa if you are buying or selling. She was with us through multiple offers on both the buying and selling end. She worked with us and was patient as we often had different ideas. We really enjoyed working with Vanissa.”

* Rosie & Bill said,
"Besides being knowledgeable about the real estate market, Joan offered excellent advice and represented us skillfully in negotiations with the Buyers. We felt assured relying on her experience, good judgement and calm, confident manner and we recommend her talents wholeheartedly!"

 

* Barry said,

“Vanissa and her staff are consummate professionals who keep the client’s interest and concerns at the forefront of the transaction. They are so attentive to all the many details and nuances of the transaction, from the listing to the closing, that the client is confident knowing his property, assets and integrity are completely protected. We have chosen Vanissa and her company to represent us both as a buyer and as a seller in all of our real estate dealings over the past 14 years and would not consider using anyone else.”

 

* Kati said,

"Joan was exactly what we needed for this home-buying process. I don't know what we would have done without her! We had a tricky situation, moving from out-of-state, and she helped us house-hunt from a

distance before we came to the area, recommended an excellent lender, and helped us know which area neighborhoods would be best for us. She was incredibly patient and helpful. She advocated for us perfectly throughout the negotiations, was always quick to respond, and gave advice/guidance when needed but without being pushy. Without her I know we would not have found the dream home that we did!"

 

* Todd & Raemi said,

 “Vanissa provided outstanding service both during the process of hunting for the right house and during the purchase. It took us many months to find the right house, but when we did, we closed fast and on-time even with holidays in the middle. Vanissa actively communicated with the sellers, title company, insurance company and bank to ensure everything came together for a smooth closing. Highly recommended for people looking for housing in The Woodlands.”

 

* Ty  said,
"Joan was awesome! Very knowledgeable about the area and always accessible to address questions and concerns. She really pushed all third parties hard to ensure we closed escrow on time."

 

* Tom W. said,

“Vanissa was wonderful to work with. She always put out interest first, communicated with us often and gave us the “straight story” every time. We highly recommend her!”

 

* Debbie said,

“My agent and hopefully yours made my home buying experience pleasant instead of a dreaded chore. She was always available to me at a moments notice. Joan is down to earth and soon after we began looking for my home I knew I had found a friend. My husband and my mother also felt comfortable with Joan. Please do yourself a favor and make an appointment with Joan. You will be glad you did. Joan is my agent for life. Whether you are buying or selling, Joan is the perfect real estate agent for you.”

 

* Megan B. said,

“When it was time to list our home of 8 years, it was a no brainer as to who we’d call! Vanissa is very competent and knowledgeable in her field and helped us make every decision in the buying and selling process. She is the best of the best!”

 

* Ishmael said,

"I don't know where to start. You are GREAT, Joan! My family and I would like to express our gratitude to you for the service you provided. For this deal was complicated with a capital C. We are beyond grateful for your

guidance, patience, and execution. We could not have asked for a better Real Estate Agent to lead us through this muddy journey. We respect the way you constructed the deal, it truly was a win-win for us...”

 

* Peter said,

“Vanissa was excellent. She entered a situation where a prior agent was doing a poor job and completely turned the situation around. Vanissa quickly identified issues and worked with me to get them resolved. We ended up selling the house for 10k more that what it was listed at under my previous agent. Vanissa managed to sell my home within days of being returned to the market while previous agent had the home on the market for 9 months. She is a true professional and is willing to do what is needed to get the job done. I am so glad that we found her.”
