Tell us about your experience with
Joanne Tiernan

    • Positive: Professionalism, Quality, ResponsivenessJoanne helped my family find our first house in a way that was consistently warm and genuine and minimized stress throughout the inevitably stressful process from home-buying. From our very first meeting, she asked good questions that helped her get to know who we were and what we desired in a home, and she immediately began helping us understand how the process worked once she gathered the appropriate information by carefully listening to our responses. Both my wife and I are deeply grateful for Joannes commitment to helping us find just the right place, and we can honestly say she kept us from settling by guiding us to the perfect home for our particular desires and station in life. We will certainly recommend her to anyone else we hear is looking for just the right home for their family!

    • Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, ValueI am a veteran, was using my VA loan, and had started to work with another realtor. However, the interaction I was receiving didn't feel right. Everything had been through email and the realtor hadn't even mentioned meeting in person. it all felt very Empty, so to speak. After some research, I found Joanne, and she was absolutely Fantastic to work with. She called almost immediately after I had emailed her and her very first words were asking when we could meet to get a feel for what I was looking for.She is VERY knowledgeable when it comes to VA loans and, her approach in Educating the future home owner was very refreshing and welcome. Any questions I had were answered immediately, and thoroughly. She was able to tell us about coding, what inspectors would be looking for, and Should be looking for, and little things in each house that could be a potential issue, possible updates, and general info. Questions about AC versus swamp coolers were readily answered.My girlfriend and I looked at houses in Southeast Reno, North/Northeast Reno, Sparks, Stead, and Cold Springs, and Joanne was able to tell us about the pros and cons of every single area. Not just about housing and schools but also questions we had about local foliage, trees, bugs, wildlife etc. She seemed to know just about everything about every area we were in. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better experience or more professional person to work with. If you're a vet, Absolutely give Joanne a call. If you not a vet...Absolutely give Joanne a call. You will NOT regret it. Thank you SO much Joanne :)

    • Joanne was a HUGE help when it came to looking for my home. Shes friendly, very informative, and extremely patient! She took the time to understand what it was I was looking for when it came to home buying. Each time a home didnt work out shed ask what my likes were and what my dislikes were. Being a first time homebuyer, I was unsure in the beginning but Joanne was super patient and slowly began directing me to homes that met my preferences. She never pushed me or rushed me for anything. She was also always there to answer any questions I had or to just help calm my nerves. I recommend her 110% percent!

    • Joanne was the best agent we have worked with! She went above and beyond to help us find our dream home. We bought sight unseen from over 2000 miles away and she made the entire process seamless. She took pictures of various homes, and neighborhoods and made sure we were very comfortable with our decision. We are so happy she knew each area in Reno so well and was able to advise us on the best neighborhood for us! I couldnt recommend Joanne more highly!!

    • Joanne Tiernan is an excellent realtor and works tirelessly for her clients. Joanne is consistent with her communications to you, always punctual, and always forthcoming about a property, a bid, and the locations you are viewing.We have worked with five different realtors in three different states, and I can easily say that Joanne Tiernan has been the hardest working and most responsive realtor with which weve worked. Additionally, she has a strong network of contacts and can easily recommend great home inspectors, craftsmen and contractors, insurance agents, and attorneys.Armed with strong negotiation skills and historical knowledge of the Reno and Sparks area, she will advise you of HOA requirements, neighborhood schools, and general neighborhood information. This was a great asset for us coming from Texas with little knowledge of the Northern Nevada area.Joanne Tiernan is truly the best!

    • Joanne is a legend. She was reccomended to my wife and I by our mortgage broker and she made buying our first home quick and easy and went above and beyond patiently answering our every question about the process. She also went to bat for us during the inspection and appraisal process and ended up saving us thousands of dollars. If you're looking for a knowledgable agent who actually cares about her clients and puts in the effort, look no further. We love Joanne and you will too!!!

    • Words can't express how grateful I am for Joanne. I truly felt like she had my back and best interest through the process of selling my father's home. I'm still grieving and she was so kind and made the process smoother since I reside out of state. She went above and beyond for me and I'm forever grateful.Reply

    • Joanne was so great to work with and she helped me find my perfect home! I am a first time homebuyer so I had so many questions, and didn't know much about how the process worked. She was so patient and helpful throughout the entire process. I can't thank her enough!!

    • Working with Joanne was wonderful! It was our first time selling a house and she helped us every step of the way. She was patient with our questions and reassuring with our concerns. Joanne made a monumental process feel doable and a whole lot less stressful.

    • We needed to move from Seattle to Reno in 60 days or less; Joanne got us there in 40 like a boss! She helped us talk through options to create a strong offer while being sensitive to our budget going into a competitive open-house weekend. We totally won our dream home specifically because of Joanne's tactical approach!Joanne helped us every step of the way throughout inspections, appraisals, etc., and was very knowledgable and patient with us explaining all of the little things that were new to us as first time home buyers.She is also warm, friendly, and personable, which was a nice comfort with all the expected stresses of buying a new home remotely. Joanne is a strong competitor while giving careful consideration to our needs and wants, striking the perfect balance. Joanne is an incredibly effective buyer-agent and we cannot recommend her enough.Thank You, Joanne! You are the best!

    • I would not trust buying or selling my house from anyone other than Joanne. She is so professional and honest. My husband and I were thinking of selling our existing home to buy new. Her knowledge and questions to us, combined with an assignment to do, helped us to realize that we already have everything we want. Without her honesty and genuineness, we could have been knee deep into something that we would have regretted. This kind of honesty is, sadly, hard to find these days. I would not trust any one else.

    • As a first time homebuyer I was apprehensive and nervous about the entire home buying process. Joanne made my fears disappear . She knew what we wanted and was always a head of the game . Before I even thought about worrying , Joanne was there with a text/ email with another list of homes to view / reassurance that we would find our dream starter home for our family . She is always on our side and would refer her to anyone needing her assistance . Everyone that told us horror stories with their agent has never met Joanne. Her work ethic is unmatched and I'm so glad that we chose her to represent us .

    • 2/21/2018If you want the top of the line realtor Joanne Tiernan is the agent to get. Months before we moved to Fernley from Los Angeles she was working with us to find the best home for me and my family. She knows her business and community plus she is the sweetest person. She went out of her way for us many times and we just adore her. She found us a beautiful home under asking price and we love it here. You can't go wrong choosing her as your agent. Thank you so very much Joanne for everything.

      - YELP
    • Joanne was able to find me just the right investment/retirement property in the Reno/Sparks area - all via emails, texts and phone calls - since I live in Northern California. Her professionalism is second to none. I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking to invest in the Reno/Sparks housing market

      - ZILLOW
    • Joanne is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. She found us our house after only two days of looking. There were multiple offers on the house but ours was chosen because of the well written offer. Joanne was available at all hours of the day and returned our calls within the hour. She kept us updated at all times and if she ever needed anything from us, she came to us, wherever we were. We never want to use anyone but her again

    • I'm a real estate investor and have work with many real estate agents over the years and in different markets. Joanne is top of that list, she's a true professional. She took care of everything including showing up for the inspections and meeting contractors to get bids. She even went to the property to water during escrow so we wouldn't loose the landscaping. She's knowledgeable, returns phone calls right away, and very easy to work with. Bottom line I highly recommend Joanne!

      - ZILLOW
    • Joanne was very knowledgeable about the neighborhood we were buying in and helped us understand some of the unique qualities of living there. We found an amazing house that fit our needs. Even though the house had other offers before ours, she helped us craft an offer that was accepted above the others. She arranged the inspections in a timely manner and we closed exactly as planned. Overall, it was a positive experience. Joanne was very professional.

Her knowledge of the industry is impressive. She's the realtor you want by your side through the home buying process!

    • Joanne helped my wife and I with the purchase of our home last July. Her knowledge of the local market conditions were spot on and her advice was very helpful. Joanne took the time to do her homework and did not show us homes that she knew would not fit our lifestyle. She took the time to get to know us! When we found the right home, she wrote the perfect offer, helped us with our inspections, and showed up to be at our closing. There are none better than Joanne Tiernan.

    • When we decided we were moving to Reno, Nevada, I did some internet research and found Joanne based on excellent reviews and comments on many sites. I contacted her and she was so responsive and immediately began doing research for us on housing based on our criteria and price range. She sent all the best listings and all new listings within our range given. I went up to Reno for 3 weeks to secure housing and set up our move. Joanne was ready and prepared and she took me to quite a number of existing homes and several new developments where she knew the quality of the builders. I was quite impressed with her skills and abilities and knowledge of Reno/Sparks, Nevada, real estate. I did not find any existing homes that were to our caliber of home, so, we ended up buying at Brier Ranch by Desert Wind Homes, a new development in lower Sparks that was fantastic. Joanne knew of the builder and this was her highest recommendation for new construction. She represented us at all stages of the buying process and will also be there for our final walk-throughs and closing in November of 2017! We love the builder and his building quality is above and beyond,,, and so is Joanne Tiernan as a real estate agent. I told Joanne that she is the best realtor I have had in my lifetime of buying and selling homes! I highly recommend Joanne as a realtor,,, she is the best Reno and Sparks, Nevada, have to offer not to mention how personable and diligent she is at her profession. We are thankful we met Joanne and now value her as a new dear friend of ours in Reno/Sparks, Nevada. Reno/Sparks, Nevada, is a wonderful place to live with great people and a great dry 4 season climate! We were from California like some 75% of the people moving here and love it! Thank you again, Joanne, for the fabulous job you did for us!

    • I contacted Joanne to help a close friend who had recently retired and was relocating to find a home in the competitive Reno/Sparks market. Joanne was very responsive, took the time to understand my friend's needs, and found her a home within a week that was within her budget and that she loved! Thank you Joanne for making what could have been a stressful move so smooth!

      - ZILLOW
    • Joanne is an incredible realtor and I couldn't have imagined this journey without her. Being a first time homebuyer myself, she had no hesitation going through the entire process of purchasing a home and the many questions that come along with that. Joanne easily made accommodations to fit my schedule, gave special attention to specific requests and everything in between. She is highly knowledgeable in all aspects of real estate and more. She walked me through every step of the way and made it a great experience. I guess buying a home doesn't have to be so stressful after all. I am honored to write this review of my experience working with Joanne and give her my highest endorsement.

      - ZILLOW
    • Numerous agents reached out to us and we were hesitant to pick one. We took one more phone call that day and it happened to be Joanne. We felt that she would be a great fit. As first time homebuyers Joanne made sure we understood the process and she guided us and provided us with all the information we needed. She was very responsive via text/phone which was very helpful for our schedules. She is very knowledgeable about the housing market and she knows a lot about the different developments in the area. She let us choose at our own pace and did not hover over us. We worked with Joanne for months before we chose the perfect property. We are thankful for her patience throughout the home-buying journey! The escrow process also went smoothly with the constant updates and electronic signing. We would recommend Joanne to future homebuyers!

      - ZILLOW
    • I had a fantastic experience with Joanne. She did an amazing job of finding me properties, including lots of running around looking at potential houses, taking additional photos and finding out what the rental return is in the area I was looking. In addition, she negotiated hard to ensure I paid a fair price (and was successful!), she put me in touch with a great lending company and liaised with the title company, answering many of their questions. All the professionals I came in contact with had only positive things to say about working with her. I will DEFINITELY use her again when I purchase my next property.

      - ZILLOW
    • She was incredible to work with! She handled all of our concerns and questions well and you can tell she is an expert in the field. Being first time homebuyers I heard could be stressful, but Joanne made the process so easy! Highly recommend anyone and everyone to use her!

      - ZILLOW
    • There are no words in the dictionary to fully describe how wonderful Joanne was in helping me found and bought a home. She was and is a "rock star " when it comes to being a buyer realtor. Thank you!

      - ZILLOW
    • I first met Joanne after sending out my information to a few different real estate companies. I sat and talked with a few realtors and viewed many houses. Nothing was really what I had hoped for. Joanne reached out after I submitted my information to KW realty; there was an immediate difference. Joanne made it extremely convenient to meet up with as she was able to work around my schedule. Being a first time home buyer Joanne walked me through the whole process and what to look for. Further into the process Joanne assisted as the intermediary for the builder and the mortgage company, by expediting the paperwork and explaining various documents. She would run the documents though her program, which would allow me to sign and send the documents back immediately via email.She is extremely responsive in both text and email, and to this day (2 weeks) after close, is still answering various questions I have.Working with Joanne was very easy and informative. I recommend her to anyone on the market, you will not be disappointed

      - ZILLOW
    • Joanne was our buyer's agent for our home purchase and I can't possibly recommend her enough. Not only is she unbelievably knowledgeable about the local real estate market, she has the rare quality of being extremely genuinely thoughtful on a personal basis. When the sellers forgot to leave the garage door openers, she got the make and model of the opener and got replacements for us. She goes way above and beyond for her clients and it's for this reason I recommend her so much!

      - ZILLOW
    • Joanne is very knowledable and she made sure her costumers got what they wanted. Its very nice experience to work with her to get my first home. I recommend her for anyone who looks for a home in Sparks/Reno.
