“My past experiences with realtors have been subpar. This was not the case with Joi. She is extremely knowledgeable about historic homes and is a go getter. I had other realtors wanting to price my house 75k below what Joi thought we could get for it. She priced it higher and got that price! I would highly recommend using Joi as your realtor.”

“We're so happy we chose to work with Joi Perkins with The Historic Collective when selling our home. She really understands everything about Jacksonville's historic neighborhoods and historic homes, and put us at ease during the whole process. We went under contract in less than one week with a full price offer. Joi helped us navigate the repair process and a post-occupancy agreement, and we felt that she truly had our best interests at heart.”

“Joi Perkins and The Historic Collective delivered an exceptional selling experience from beginning to end. Their expertise in historic properties was evident in every decision and detail. Our Avondale home was showcased beautifully, attracting strong interest and ultimately the right buyer. We were impressed by Joi’s professionalism, strategy, and genuine passion for Jacksonville’s historic homes.”

“We knew we wanted to list our Florida bungalow with Heather instantly. This beloved home was our first home together as a young married couple, and the place we brought all 3 of our babies home to (said babies are now 16, 12, and 11). Heather knew how special this house was to us as a family. Respecting the emotions behind listing and ultimately selling what was your first-time house, she worked tirelessly and with such passion for this sale to succeed. With a genuine love for historic districts and neighborhoods, her creative genius took over instantly, bringing to life unique aspects of the house to feature in very special ways. Heather's expertise, precision, and diligence guided us significantly, especially when it came to decision-making opportunities. She is steady, trustworthy, and caring in her approach. Her loyalty was a guiding light through the process, start to finish, never once leaving us waiting for a response. My husband and I felt entirely held and supported throughout the listing and ultimately the successful sale of our home. Listing and selling a home during a global pandemic did not hinder Heather in the least. She is a phenomenal professional who was steadfast in moving forward with the sale, keeping communications lines open, and staying vigilant with us as sellers and our concerns during COVID-19. We could not have wished for a more positive process, nor could we have hoped for a more compassionate, bright, and experienced individual in her field. While we now find ourselves in what we hope to be our "forever home," should a situation arise where we are in need of selling, there is no one else we would go with other than Heather.”

“We had a wonderful experience working with Joi. All her recommendations and attention to details led to a speedy and stress free sell of our River Property. She is the ultimate professional!!”

“We hit the jackpot when we met Joi at The Historic Collective at Compass! Her professionalism, knowledge of historic homes, and easy-going demeanor is unmatched! Joi listens to her clients and makes things happen. She elevated our renovated, historic home to the next level with gorgeous staging and attention to detail. We're so grateful to be clients of such a dedicated, intuitive, and hard-working professional as Joi Perkins.”

“I have used Joi twice now for my real estate needs. In both experiences, she has gone above and beyond for my best interests. She takes pride in her profession, is easy to talk to, and knows her market really well. She’s not just trying to sell a house and move on to the next. It’s not easy finding a real estate agent that you can depend on these days but with Joi you can!”
Sarah U.
“Working with Joi and the team has been the highlight of our move to Jacksonville. Initially, we met without the intention to buy, but once we decided to move forward, Joi dedicated The Historic Collective to our success. Everything—from our Compass online dashboard to our closing with the title company—was professional and stress-free. We appreciate the detailed and thoughtful guidance throughout the process from Joi, Heather, and Mason. If we ever need real estate pros again, they will be our first call. Highly recommended!”
Laura T.
“Joi and Heather were incredible. They are a dynamic duo that keep you in the loop and are always present to answer any questions. Loved the automated email updates every Friday that gave an overview of the traffic on your listing. Our house was on the market for 6 months before we ended up switching to Joi and Heather and they got it sold!!”
Mary Kelley L.
“Joi, Mason, and Heather were absolutely amazing to work with! From scheduling showings to the entire contract process everything was flawless, I was out of state and they made this one of the best home buying experiences I have gone through. Would highly recommend if you are looking to buy in the Jax area!”
