Originally from Philadelphia, Joanne and husband, Bill, settled in Charlotte in 1973 to raise their two (then) young children. As their children grew, the Allen's fell in love with their new "home town" and Joanne made the decision to help other families make their relocation as successful as theirs had been. Now, with more than 27 years experience as a licensed real estate agent, Joanne has helped more than 100 families with their real estate and relocation needs. As a transplant herself she knows that a move often means more than just locating a house. She knows that a successful move means accommodating the requirements of an entire family. Like which neighborhoods offer the kinds of homes and amenities that fill her clients needs, which schools offer the best academics, music or other programs, employment companies that specialize in specific career fields, the nearest library, proximity to churches and hospitals, "in" shopping for teens, and all those million things that are so important to newcomers. Always, the professional, Joanne is meticulous with detail and prides herself in researching all the facts that might affect each transaction. Whether she is listing a property or helping someone to purchase a home, she knows the importance of "getting it right" and makes every effort to insure nothing is overlooked. My Philosophy After 27 years, I continue to enjoy helping clients through their real estate transactions. For sellers I design a marketing plan to meet their individual needs. For Buyers I take time to make sure you find your dream home. As a Certified Relocation Specialist, I can assist clients not only with the purchase of their new home, but also with the transition to the area. Call me today and let me earn your trust and confidence.
