"To buy or sell real
estate wisely you need knowledge,
dedication and experience on your side. I bring you
all this and more. I have lived in the
San Francisco Bay Area for more
than 40 years and began my real estate career shortly
after moving here." -
Joanne
Here are some
reasons why you should hire Joanne to
represent you when you buy or sell real
estate:
-
She is a California licensed Broker
with more than 30 years
full-time experience.
-
She represents both buyers and
sellers.
-
She listens to her clients
needs.
-
She personally handles all meetings
and communication with her clients as opposed to
her assistants. By providing this personal
attention clients never have to wonder if
Joanne got their message, they feel more secure and
connected and informed to what is probably the most
important transaction of their lives.  -
She is a strong negotiator, which
increases the seller's bottom line and reduces the
buyers total outlay.
-
She has acquired a keen insight into
the financing world and
developed specialized skills that help
clients secure the best type of loan
for their purchase. Sensitive to the fact
that real estate is the biggest investment
most people make in their lives, Joanne works
diligently to secure best financing,
which saves clients thousands of
dollars.
-
She stays on the forefront of
real estate market cycles.
-
Clients refer their family and friends
to her because they like the results she produces
for them.  -
When Joanne
represents buyers her focus
is to lead them through the complex maze
of negotiations, finance, disclosures,
inspections, etc so they make the
best buy possible.
-
When
she represents sellers her focus is to
guide them through an even more complex
maze including effective planning and
marketing, negotiations, disclosures, contract
clauses and other aspects so they realize the
most for their properties in the least
amount of time and with as little inconvenience
as possible.
-
Because
Joanne holds a California Notary
commission in most cases clients do not have
to take off work to sign their closing papers, which
always requires that one or more documents be
Notarized.
-
 When clients need a broker in
another area or another
state Joanne connects them with just
the right one as she has a network of long
time real estate brokers across America whom she
works in helping clients
relocate. By using her referral
services Joanne's clients have the best
representation possible in their new city and
also have Joanne monitoring the relocation for
their maximum convenience and
satisfaction.
-
Joanne specializes
in residential real estate: houses,
condominiums, townhouses, mobile homes and
special use properties.
-
More than 80
percent of Joanne's business is made up of repeat
clients and referrals, mostly from her past
clients. Representing two and three generations
in the same family is common for Joanne. Testimonials

Professional Philosophy . .
.
The core of Joanne's business philosophy is the
Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would
want them to do unto you.
Joanne believes
strongly in the traditional values of integrity,
professionalism and accountability.
Whether you are
a buyer or a seller, Joanne is committed to providing
you outstanding personalized service through her genuine
caring for her client's needs, her strong negotiating
skills and her superior knowledge of the real estate
industry.
Dedicated to
excellence, Joanne helps keep her clients on the
forefront of today's real estate market. This gives
clients the advantage over the ever changing and
always challenging market conditions. And, she is
unwavering in maintaining a fiduciary
relationship with her clients.
What is
a fiduciary relationship?
A fiduciary relationship is a special
relationship which imposes duties of fidelity,
undivided loyalty, full disclosure, utmost care and
good faith.
-
California
Civil Code defines this duty as one of utmost care,
integrity, honesty and loyalty.
The Code of
Ethics of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR)
defines the duty as the obligation of absolute
fidelity to the client’s interest.
In the case where Joanne represents
both the buyer and seller, known as a dual-agency
relationship, she cannot without the principal’s
consent, disclose to a seller that a buyer is
willing to pay more than the offered price nor may a
dual agent disclose to a buyer that the seller is
willing to accept less than the listed price (Civil Code
2079.21).
Whether your
real estate needs are big or small,
Joanne Gardiner is your best
choice.
