"Joi was invaluable in both helping us buy our house in historic Riverside (former home of JT Butler!) as well as sell our home due to relocation for work. Joi was literally a joy to work with on both occasions. She understood what we were looking for when buying and then helped make the sale go through smoothly. I’m glad to be back in NYC, but I still love to visit my beautiful old neighborhood! I… truly believe that anyone working with Joi is getting the best and honest insight into homes in the historic neighborhoods!"

"Working with Joi proves there are professionals out there that really know their stuff! From the very first phone call, Joi had me convinced she was the one to work with and she didn't disappoint. As a RE investor I hope to do many more transactions together."

"I had the pleasure of working with Joi as our real estate agent when my husband and I were searching for a historic home. I can’t recommend her highly enough as her expertise in historic properties is unmatched. She demonstrated a deep understanding of the unique features, challenges, and benefits that come with these one-of-a-kind homes.
From the very start Joi took the time to understand our … individual goals and priorities. Her extensive knowledge of local history and architectural styles not only made the process smooth but also enriched the overall experience. She understood quickly that my husband prefered newer homes and I did not! She helped my husband appreciate the historical significance of each property we viewed and soon he was on board! She also knew exactly what to look for in terms of preservation concerns, zoning regulations, and potential renovations, which gave us great confidence in every decision we made.
What sets Joi apart is her passion for historic homes. She truly cares about connecting clients with properties that have character and charm. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and exceptional communication made a potentially overwhelming process feel seamless and enjoyable.
If you’re buying or selling a historic home, I wholeheartedly recommend Joi Perkins. Her dedication, expertise, and genuine love for these special properties makes her an incredible resource and advocate for her clients."

"Joi has helped us sell three of our homes over the last decade, and she is always fantastic to work with. She does what needs to be done, stages the home, advises on repairs before listing to maximize our returns, and guides us through all our options so we can make well-informed decisions. She functions more like an asset manager for real estate investments, advising us on how to maximize our hol… dings. We have always felt that she is driven to get us exactly what we need from each sale."
Joshua G.
"We wholeheartedly recommend Joi to anyone in search of a dedicated, knowledgeable, and highly connected realtor. Her passion and expertise truly set her apart, and we are grateful for her exceptional support in finding our boys their first home. She explained the process to them in depth, leaving them confident in their first investment. Her tireless efforts and deep connection to a wide network o… f professionals made the entire process incredibly seamless and efficient. We highly recommend!"

"There's a reason I have worked with Joi on all of my properties - she is the best. I've been investing for about a decade now, and have worked with other agents before finding Joi. She understands ROI. She knows the market and loves to get the win for her clients, she has always had my best interest at the forefront of all the transactions we’ve done. I trust her implicitly and have recommended he… r to several family members."

"Joi made selling and buying a home simultaneously as easy and stress-free as you can have when going through such a big change. Joi walked us through everything and was there when we had questions or concerns. She was patient and gave great advice, especially when it came to saving thousands on obtaining a mortgage and not over paying for the home we were buying, which was a competitive situation.… Plus she told us how best to negotiate with the buyers on the home we were selling and she easily saved us thousands of dollars in negotiations and made sure we accomplished all our goals one the timeline that worked for us! We wouldn't hesitate to use her again in the future. (She even helped us manage our dog Nellie during showings and when working with contractors when we were preparing to sell, which was super helpful!)"
Matthew A.
"Joi is top notch in her field. She exemplifies everything a Realtor needs to be successful with buyers and sellers. I would recommend her to anyone thinking of buying or selling a home. Thanks Joi for all you do! You're the best!"

"We could not have been pleased with our experience with Joi and Heather! Their responsiveness and knowledge base is above and beyond. It was a smooth transaction and all of our needs/desires were exceeded. Joi and Heather represented us well and we recommend them without hesitation!"
Alana W.
"I've bought and sold houses in the past and this was my first time working with Joi and Joi has been the best real estate agent I've ever worked with. I'm impressed with her problem solving and negotiation skills. She worked for us as if we were her family and made everything we wanted and needed with the purchase of our new home happen. Highly recommend her and will be working with her in the fut… ure. She is an expert in historic homes and helped us get a great deal on getting credits for repairs that were needed in the house. She is very knowledgeable and has good contacts for quotes and advice on repairs. Now I know why she has 5 stars on her reviews"
