About Joanna
Joanna is one of Marin’s most trusted Realtors, counting among her clients numerous start-up business and community leaders. Joanna works with individuals and families interested in Marin’s most coveted properties and recognizes that purchasing or selling a home is a complex, sophisticated and deeply personal endeavor.
Joanna’s passion for residential real estate began in college when she was President of her sorority and secured a California registered historical landmark as the chapters home. Joanna had a hand in all aspects of the deal from finding the property, to figuring our who owned it, to negotiating the terms of the contract. The Victorian mansion still remains as the chapters home to this day.
Prior to entering Real Estate, Joanna honed her operational skills as a Project Manager for Athleta, helping to open their nationwide fleet of brick and mortar stores as well as implemented new technologies into the store experience. Subsequently, she founded a Personal Concierge business assisting busy women and families across the Bay Area by providing the complex lifestyle management support required of today’s modern family.
Joanna is known for her extensive market knowledge and unmatched devotion to her clients. Her success is based almost exclusively on positive referrals from satisfied clients. She earns the respect of her clients by working tirelessly on their behalf by providing education and data driven advice. Clients also appreciate her fun personality and sense of humor. Joanna utilizes the latest technologies available and prides herself on careful attention to detail and a passion for perfection. Not to mention she gives fantastic closing gifts. On a personal note, Joanna attributes her success not only to her passion for homes and client relationships, but also to her intuition regarding the psychology of the buying and selling process.
Joanna is also proud to have earned her GREEN designation recognized by the National Association of Realtors, a designation only 2% of Realtors hold nationwide. Realtors who have earned the GREEN designation are proficient in all aspects of green real estate, including:
- Low-cost fixes and big-budget remodels to increase your home’s energy efficiency
- The benefits smart home technology can offer you as a homebuyer or seller
- How affordability and walkability impact consumer decisions to buy a home
- Earning green home certifications like Energy Star and LEED
Having lived in Marin before having a child and now with a young child, Joanna enjoys sharing her intimate knowledge of the area from both perspectives. She’s always enthusiastic to share her local expertise and resources with newcomers and those whose life circumstances may have recently changed.
Outside of Real Estate, Joanna enjoys spending time with her husband and daughter enjoying the abundance of active and leisure options available in Marin. You can often find them Saturday mornings at the Larkspur Landing farmers market or riding their e-bikes (a Marin right of passage) to McNears Beach. Joanna also takes pride in giving back to the community and contributes a percentage of every closed real estate transaction to various local non-profit organizations like Homeward Bound, Play Marin and Conscious Kitchen.
