Description:We are a Brother/Sister team focused on finding you the best value in a home or business in Broward and Palm Beach counties. Trust Your Family's Move To Our Family's Expertise!

Who We Are:

We are a Team of three and a family of many!  Joy has been a resident of Coral Springs for 25 years, where both her girls have been through the Broward county school system.  Jeff lives in Palm Beach county (Boynton Beach) with his family which makes it easy to serve our Palm Beach county customers.  Jeff is frequently in Broward because Mom lives with Joy. 

 Team Photo                                        Julie completes the office team of three as "Eagle Eye, Detective Mello"!  She is unbelievable with details and very proactive with streamlining processes! Julie has been active in real estate for over 20 years.  Originally from Hungary, she speaks the language fluently. Our clients really enjoy her wit and call her the entertainment factor in their real estate transaction.

Licensed since 1985 and honored with multiple designations and accomplishments, Joy is described as, "Miss Community". Passionate about proving that REALTORS are good, honest caring people, she is active on multiple boards such as Affordable Housing, Chamber of Commerce, Kids at Risk and anything that she feels will make life better for others. A lousy golfer and a passionate reader, she loves to read anything positive, motivating and encouraging. She attributes her success to her Mom, who helped raise her two girls, while Joy was building their future.

Jeff should have been a professional mediator.  He is amazing at keeping all parties of the transaction focused and happy to make sure everyone benefits in the end. Licensed since 1989, he is dedicated to making his clients get what they want.  Jeff's passions are water sports, trail biking and ANYTHING that involves his family. 


What We Do...

Like most professions there are the top ten percent in performance or productivity and there is a good reason for this.  It is usually because the Top 10% do much more than is expected of them. 

You've also heard that knowledge is Power. Wouldn't you want that Power behind you when you are making one of the biggest decisions of your life - finding a place you'll call "Home"?  We are constantly striving to stay ahead of the always changing market trends regarding, foreclosures, short sales and relocation issues in order to better serve your real estate needs.  We are full-service REALTORS® with over 20 years of knowledge and experience and multiple award winners for customer service and satisfaction.  We've helped people buy anything from one bedroom condos to million dollar plus properties. We know the "old neighborhoods" as well as the new ones. We can tell you about the schools, the people, the traffic, the employment opportunities, as well as the future of your neighborhood - just about anything you need to know about living in Broward County and Palm Beach County.

What makes us different?  We are 21st century in keeping in touch with you and being responsive to your real estate needs.  We are computer savvy and easily reachable.  We understand that your time is valuable and we care about what is important to you in finding the right home. We listen and pay attention to your wants and needs and then set your personalized home search. We are dedicated to making your home purchase as smooth & hassle-free as possible, free of frustration and surprises, and instead, just more FUN!

There is so much more to selling a home than putting a "For Sale" sign up in your yard, a lock box on your door and putting your house in the MLS, then sit back and wait for it to sell. Our Multiple Listing System allows 16 photographs of a property, a virtual tour and enticing description of your property as well as a place for directions.  We use every bit of this and then more on the multiple websites that we market to, for added exposure, because the internet is where the process starts.

For more than 20 years, we've successfully negotiated and closed hundreds of millions of dollars in real estate transactions and we will do the same for you.  We are well versed in financing, inspections and insurance details, title companies and closing attorneys. You deserve the best possible representation to achieve your objectives. That's why we are here to help you!

Cities in Broward county that we specialize in are Coconut Creek, Coral Springs,Prudential Florida Logo Deerfield Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Highland Beach, Hillsboro, Lighthouse Point, Margate, Parkland, Plantation, Sunrise, Tamarac and Weston.

 

In Palm Beach County, the cities of Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Greenacres, Lake Worth, Wellington and West Palm Beach.

Join us and be a part of our mission to prove that Realtors are good, honest, caring People!


What Our Customers Say About Us:

Jeff and Joy are great at what they do and their knowledge of the real estate market is just outstanding.  We loved the customer service they provided...it was simply the best!  They always had time for us and returned our calls.  Every part of the sale process was fantastic!

The most valuable help for me was that you were able to diffuse a difficult, family situation, while selling my elderly parents' home in Boynton Beach. Thank you.

This is the fourth home I've purchased and this was the most professional experience of them all. You anticipated and managed what needed to be coordinated. (Very valuable to a single, woman, who works.) I loved that you had full-service vendors for me to use - home inspector, roof repair, etc.

Your team gave us very good updates (accurate comparisons of current listings and sales, also market trends) of our area during the listing process. These updates helped us to determine what prices we should list our homes at, in order to sell them quicker. You served and satisfied our real estate needs.

This was our first experience with Realtors and as long as we are in Florida, it will be our last....Joy and Jeff are OUR Realtors! We had their guidance from soup to nuts and they were very thorough. Mark & Nora Swanson 2/22/05

We want to thank both of you for the amount of work, effort and probably lost sleep that went into both selling our old home and buying our new one. You both went beyond the call of duty. Thank you for guiding us through a rather nerve-wracking process.

Joy and Jeff were the second real estate agents we hired to sell our home....we wish we had used them from the beginning.

Joy's professionalism, concern and follow-up were key elements in the smooth relocation of my family. Joy was patient and helpful as she educated us on the South Florida real estate market. Your help and assistance went well beyond "normal and reasonable".
