Joan McGowan

    • We changed our minds and decided not to move so we never got to the negotiation process. Even though we were uncertain, Joan continued to send us listings and show us homes on a moments notice, which helped us make the decision to stay for the time being. We are very grateful for her time, even though we were not a sure thing.

    • Joan appeared to have a great deal of knowledge in the areas in which she was showing me houses I received automatic email alerts from Joan with information about the kinds of houses I am interested in; Joan makes herself available to clients, to me, through the evening and weekend by always being reachable on her cell phone. Joan was good at answering my questions, and if she did not know the answer, she went to her superiors. Joan conducted herself in a completely professional manner at the closing, and provided value-added information by providing me with a list of merchangs, tradesmen, decorators, and spas in the area. Delivered important documents and checks to the attorney quickly

    • Joan is a wonderful agent. We are in the process of selling our home and her service is top notch. She is easy to get a hold of, always responsive to all our questions, and readily available when needed. We look to continue working with her now and in the future!

      - Clarke
    • We found this agent to be extremely knowledgeable and helpful in showing us homes in Somerset County. Her immediate response to communications is exemplary. We were also pleased to find that she is part of an established and successful team with Keller Williams Reality. Having financial and legal advisors as part of this team made it easier to get answers to all our questions rearding purchasing a home.

      - James M.
    • Joan was a pleasure to work with from day 1. She was very enthusiastic and approachable. She really kept our interests in mind and showed us places we would be interested in. She was also very knowledgeable about the real estate and knew exactly what she was doing. Once we did find the place we wanted, Joan did everything in her power to ensure we get the place with as less stress as possible. She was always there to answer questions and follow up with the realtor/seller. She went up and beyond her responsibilities to ensure everything goes smoothly and we get exactly what we want. She always followed up with us and sent us reminders about deadlines so that we would not fall behind in the process. I would not have been able to get my first place without Joan's dedication, perseverance, and patience. So thank you Joan for making our dream come true with our first place!

      - Satisfied Client
    • What stands out to me about Joan is her availability and willingness to go the extra mile for a client. I am from Bergen County and I was considering purchasing a home in Somerset County. Joan was willing to come out on a last minute call to show us homes, even in her busy schedule. She also went out of her way to make calls to the owner of a home that we wanted to see which was on the market FSBO (For Sale By Owner). We decided not to purchase in Somerset County at this time (due to the extra commute), but I would recommend Joan for someone who wants a realtor that works extra hard for you!

    • I met Joan at an Open House she was hosting. We struck up conversation and I ended up enlisting her to sell my home and help me find a new one. She brought a professional photographer who took beautiful photos of my property and turned those into a great brochure. Joan held open houses, brought several prospects and a qualified buyer. Additionally she was always available to take me to see listings whenever I called and she was always happy and professional. I decided not to sell and move but when the time comes to sell, I will definitely call Joan again. She truly cares about her clients and knows the area really well. She also has the patience of a saint!

      - Happy Seller
    • Joan worked hard to get agents/buyers to look at the house. Professional pictures instead of snap shots from a broker's camera made for a better on-line listing. When a sale was close she worked with the buyer's agent to close the deal which worked out for all parties. Overall a great experience thus I would highly recommend and use again in the future

    • Joan McGowan is a pleasure working with. She is a hard working, motivated realtor. She made it easy to find a home with her relentless effort to show us houses. Not only is she a hard worker but she is very personable.as well

      - Joseph
    • Joan was an absolute pleasure to work with! She first sold our condo (which was listed for 6 months before her), in 4 days! We were looking in a span of 20 miles and Joan was always willing to go wherever we wanted to see, Joan was very patient and accommodating through out! My parents are also divorced, so whenever we found a house we liked, Joan would go TWICE to show both sets of parents. I would STRONGLY recommend anyone looking to sell or buy a house! She is always willing to help, always answered her phone, and was such a positive, reassuring person to be around! Thank you Joan for helping us get out dream home!!!

      - Ryan
    • I highly recommend Joan McGowan for any and all real estate needs. She was very professional, highly motivated to find me a new home and had an in-depth knowledge of the areas which were within my my search boundaries. She worked tirelessly to find me the perfect home, checking almost every box on my list of "must-haves". I would DEFINITELY recommend Joan to anyone who is looking for a new home in the Somerset County or surrounding areas!

      - Wes
    • Joan McGowan, was an excellent agent. She responded to my every question, and was very helpful. She had several opened houses and never sent anyone to take her place, she was always there herself. Also did several open house for agents, this when she thought it was necessary. I couldn't have asked for anyone better.

      - Linda
    • My wife and I met Joan at an open house she was hosting. This was our first open house and we had no idea what we were getting into, or what we were doing, really. Joan did not write us off like some other agents would have and instead was patient and answered all of our questions, as well as gave us guidance of what to do next. Her experience and knowledge made us feel instantly comfortable and we knew we had found our agent. Joan had incredible patience with us as we dragged her from house to house trying to find what we were looking for. She always put our needs first and did not look to take any shortcuts. It is important to note she is extremely flexible and always makes it work even though she's clearly in demand!When we finally found the home that we were looking for, Joan was genuinely excited, and when you're taking such a big step in your life, it's good to know your agent is on your side and looking out for you.If you're looking for an agent who knows what she's doing and cares about you and your happiness in your new home, look no further than Joan McGowan!

    • Joan McGowan proved to be the perfect real estate agent to sell my home. She answered all my questions and addressed any concerns that I might have had. Her suggestions and hard work marketing my home proved to be just the right thing needed for a stress free sale. She is the ultimate professional

    • You could not ask for a better Agent, before I signed with Joan Mc Gowan I had 2 other agents that promised the world and did nothing for me. My son and I were co-owner on a house, because of divorce he had to sell it, years later the mortgage was more than we could get for the house. Thanks to Joan she put us in touch with wonderful people who were able to get us qualified for a short sale. (This means the bank agrees to accept less money for the house and we are excused from the mortgage) It would have been a nightmare if it wasnt for all her hard work getting this completed. Not only did she sell my house she sold my buyers house and was able to coordinate the complete move. That was in 2014. In 2016 I asked her to list my moms house, we had such issues with people low balling our price but Joan ended up getting us a lot more than we expected. You couldnt ask for a more dedicated hard working agent, I would highly recommend her.

      - Joanne
    • Joan McGowan is the ultimate in professionalism! She helped us so much! It's a stressful time thinking about changing homes and she was there 24/7. I am recommending her to my coworkers, friends and family. She is hardworking and out for the client's best interest.

      - J. A. Huff
    • Joan helped me thru the complete process for selling my mothers home. My moms home was a reverse mortgage, home not taken care of due to her age and sickness. She helped with getting the necessary people for work that needed to be done. Excellent service to the end. I would recommend Joan to anyone who needed to buy or sell a home. A very pleasant person to deal with and returns calls ASAP. Thank you Joan McGowan

    • After looking for a house without success for about 2 years on and off, we were doubtful that we would find a house in our price range that met our needs. We reached out to a friend, who referred us to Joan McGowan. Joan was a great agent! She took her time to talk with us and really worked tirelessly to find us a house within our budget. We are now homeowners and love our new home! We are so thankful to Joan, not only for her time and energy, but also for her kindness she showed to us during the entire process.

      - Joy
    • Joan McGowan was a great help finding a home for our family and later negotiating with the seller. We could not do it without her!We will definitely share with family and friends our wonderful home searching experience having you at our side! Thank you very much Joan!

      - Frank V.
    • Very knowledgeable and professional. Thank you Joan, we are homeowners because of you! Through your knowledge and expertise we purchase the home for less than the original sale price. Your assistance and timely responses are greatly appreciated. Even when I gave up you were our support. Thank you!

      - Cliffwood, NJ
    • Extremely professional, and she guided us through our home purchase with great sensitivity, knowledge, and grace. Every time we had a question or needed something, she responded immediately. Could not have done it without her!

    • To whom it may concern:It is with immense pleasure that I recommend Joan McGowan as a real estate agent for any individuals or families searching for their ideal homes that meet their needs. As you can see below, she is hardworking, honest, patient, understanding, professional, a good listener, a good learner and lastly but not least, a good negotiator. I can also say that after some period of time our relationship changed a little bit from professionalism to a developing friendship. Before working with Joan, I had a different real estate agent to find me and my family a new home. This agent didnt seem to have the motivation and energy to help us. Eventually, we changed agent and met Joan. She is the one who helped us to buy a townhouse that met our needs. Then, due to financial constraints, we felt the need to rent home. As she worked hard to find us a new rental home, I happened to find a newly advertised place for rent in the same townhouse community where we live. I told Joan that I wanted to look at it. Since it was Thanksgiving Day I thought we had to wait until after the holiday to look at it. To my surprise, she met us at that house on that Thanksgiving Day to look at it. We liked the house and immediately, right there, Joan called and started to do the necessary paperwork so we can rent the place. She also was able to convince the owner of the house, who doesn't seem to like cats to let us in with our cat.We are currently looking for a place for my elderly Aunt. With her certification as a Senior Real Estate Specialist, SRES, I trust her knowledge and skills to help us find the right place for her. I would like to add one more thing: I am Deaf. Joan understands that to communicate with me it has to be via text or by using a boogie board that I have when we are face to face. She indicated that she is interested in leaning sign language in order to reach out to the Deaf community. In fact we have arranged to get together so I can give her ASL lessons. She also understands Deaf people use Video Relay for communication.In conclusion, I can confidently say that Joan is the best Real Estate Agent I have ever had. I see her also as a friend. She is trustworthy, professional and hardworking, respectful compassionate and motivated. I highly recommend Joan McGowan as the real estate agent to help you find your ideal home.

    • Joan came along after we had our home listed for 6 months with another agency and had little success. Joan relisted the house, staged-and photographed. In a single week we had multiple offers and closed in six weeks. I would recommend Joan to all who would need a professional experienced agent
