Exceptional Service and Unparalleled Patience – A Heartfelt Review for Joanne, Our Amazing Real Estate Agent

I am delighted to share our incredible experience with Joanne, our dedicated estate agent, who played an instrumental role in helping us secure the apartment of our dreams in the picturesque town of Stresa on Lake Maggiore. Our journey spanned four years, a significant portion of which unfolded during the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout this time, Joanne demonstrated the patience of a saint, guiding us with unwavering support and expertise.

Joanne’s commitment to her clients goes above and beyond the call of duty. Her deep understanding of the real estate market, coupled with her genuine care for our needs, made the entire process seamless. She navigated the complexities of the property market during a particularly tumultuous period with grace and professionalism.

What truly sets Joanne apart is her dedication to her clients and finding and securing the right property, she provided invaluable insights and advice at every step. She was a constant source of reassurance, and she exhibited a level of dedication that is truly commendable.

Beyond the purchase itself, Joanne extended her support to ensure a smooth transition into our new holiday home. Her generosity in recommending reliable tradesmen has been a tremendous help as we settle into our new life and make the property our own. Joanne’s network of trusted professionals reflects her commitment to providing a comprehensive service that extends well beyond the typical responsibilities of an estate agent.

In addition to her professional prowess, Joanne’s warm and approachable demeanor made every interaction a pleasure. Her genuine interest in our happiness and well-being added a personal touch that is often rare in the real estate industry.

We cannot recommend Joanne highly enough. If you’re in search of an estate agent who combines expertise, patience, and a genuine passion for her clients’ well-being, Joanne is the one. Our journey may have taken four years, but with Joanne by our side, it felt like a seamless and enjoyable experience. Thank you, Joanne, for helping us turn our dream of a holiday home in Stresa into a beautiful reality.

Joanne is just excellence personified – always helpful, knowledgeable, positive and enthusiastic – not just during the purchase process but for years and years after. We bought a beautiful apartment right on Lake Orta – as a second home – and she facilitated the entire process with ease. But just as importantly, if not more so – she has assisted the process of living there over the last 5 years. She has always been prepared to go the extra mile and I’m not sure that I could recommend anyone more so.

Joanne is a real gem! She helped us secure a super property overlooking Lago Maggiore. She was always helpful and informative when answering our numerous questions about buying in Italy and led us seamlessly through the the various stages from making an offer through to signing the final contract. She is always cheerful and friendly, willing to go the extra mile to help her clients find their dream home. We would definitely recommend her if you’re looking to find that perfect place in the Italian Lakes

Joanne and her team help you find the perfect home and then they help you live there. Very well connected, multi lingual and friendly they make the process seamless and enjoyable always very professional , always very hands on and understanding. Having lived and worked, and bought several homes around the world we found the service that we received here by the lake, second to none. All we can say is ”Thank you”

In modo professionale, sereno, gentile ed efficiente, mi ha dato un reale aiuto in tutte le fasi della vendita.
La sua preparazione e la sua esperienza uniti al suo modo di essere: internazionale, informatizzata, con tanti contatti e molto seria e precisa, le permettono di offrire un servizio superiore rispetto alla sua concorrenza.
