Testimonials
"We cannot express how happy we were to work with Joann in selling our home. She was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process and was able to answer all of our questions along the way. We truly appreciate how thoughtful she was while listing our home, working through photography and staging, and coordinating showings. We have worked with other agents in the past and can confidently say Joann goes above and beyond other agents, and we could not have had a better experience. Joann was an integral reason for the quick and easy sale of our home, and we feel genuinely lucky to have had the pleasure of working with her.

Barella (Scituate)
In my past real estate purchases, I've had very poor experiences with the agents on both sides of the transactions but our recent purchase experience really showed me the full extent of value of having a good agent. This was the first time I'd used Zillow to initiate the buy process, and it connected me to Joann. She was so straightforward and direct about her advertising relationship with Zillow and her guidance on the property that I felt instantly comfortable signing her as our buyer's agent. Although we didn't get that property, we let Joann know that we were very interested in the next unit that became available at the building. Over a year later, Joann called up saying "another unit at the building just listed 15 minutes ago!" and in 2 days we had an accepted offer. Throughout the process we could not have asked for a better guide and negotiating advisor. Her guidance was always thoughtful, direct, easy to understand, and based on solid experience. She was a trusted advisor during some of the more challenging parts of the deal. Better than being amazingly responsive, which she was, she was also very proactive. She was always looking a few steps down the road and making sure we were fully aware of and prepared for the next steps. I will go to Joann on ANY future real estate transaction and would give my highest recommendation to others to do the same.

Joann Taft is in a league of her own. She helped me accomplish an almost impossible task: from "but the house is not ready, what are we going to do with 20 years worth of stuff?" to "Sold!" in under 3 weeks. Yes it was a lot of work; but she helped to organize, schedule, give referrals, and pitch in whenever we needed an extra hand. She is very efficient, reliable, tactful, and honest. Plus, Joann has a special understanding for the specific needs of the elderly. It wasn't luck, I did in-depth due diligence and, from good agents, I chose the best. So this isn't just a thank you to Joann, it is sharing my experience so others may benefit from it as well.
Bcubbi (Scituate)
"Joann served as the buyer's agent for a home I recently purchased. What we appreciated most about Joann, was her willingness to help at any time we required guidance. She is very thorough and ensured that as buyers we had considered all aspects of the deal, including those we missed, despite being as careful as we could be.
We particularly had a circumstance where we had to close in under 30 days and Joann went above and beyond what was required to make that happen. She is very resourceful and always willing to help."
Bhambhani (Quincy)
"Walter and I just celebrated our one year at Sunset Place in Hull. I want to let you know how perfect this move has been for us. All 3 of our kids are within 7 miles. We have made friends with our neighbors. There is happy hour (s) at the pool almost daily. We are enjoying the local bars, restaurants, the beach and beautiful sunsets. Our unit couldn't be more perfect for us.
So I just want to say Thank You! We appreciate you! You may not hear that enough."
Harris (Hull)
Hilde and I can't thank you enough for all of your efforts. Your professionalism, expertise and responsiveness are unmatched. We thoroughly enjoyed working with you and are grateful our paths crossed that day in Scituate. If we come across anyone in need of a realtor, you will be our "go to" person!
Bob & Hilde (Scituate)
"I couldn't of asked for a better realtor to sell my house! From start to finish she was professional, kind and would always respond immediately to my texts with any question, day, night or the weekend. Personal circumstances made this for tricky property to sell but Joann made it easy. I now consider Joann as a friend not just my realtor."
Stone (Scituate)
"When we sold our last home, Joann was not just our realtor. She was an entire support system. She didn't just tell us what to fix and how to fix it; she showed up, and rolled up her sleeves, and helped us get it done. Whenever we needed her, she was only a text message away.
Joann is warm, energetic, and has a very positive disposition that made the whole process smooth and pleasant. We recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking to sell their homes with as little stress as possible."
Onaiza/Kiddie (Scituate)
"Joann was wonderful to work with. She helped us find exactly what we were looking for in our budget. Her communication was prompt and incredibly helpful as we dealt with a somewhat difficult seller. Even after the sale, Joann has checked in multiple times to make sure everything is exactly what we wanted and helped resolve some issues.
I'd absolutely work with Joann again in the future."
Taylor Ave. (Plymouth)
"COULD NOT HAVE PICKED A BETTER REALTOR. MANY GOOD ONES HERE TO CHOOSE FROM BUT I CLEARLY MADE THE BEST CHOICE. JOANN WORKS REALLY HARD FOR A CLIENT AND GOES WELL ABOVE AND BEYOND. MARKETING AND SELLING A HOME IS A CHALLENGE BUT JOANN MADE IT SIGNIFICANTLY EASIER AND MANAGEABLE. SHE IS SMART, KNOWLEDGEABLE AND ENTIRELY ETHICAL AND TRUSTWORTHY.
SHE IS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND A JOY TO WORK WITH. BEST , I SOLD FOR MY TARGET PRICE THANKS TO HER SOLID SKILLS."

Karis (Hull)
"Joann Taft from Raveis made the entire process as carefree and easy as possible. Could not imagine working with a better agent."
Tedeschi (Scituate)
"Joann is a fabulous realtor. She went above and beyond, even helping with staging using her own materials. I recommended her to others in the neighborhood. She has an engaging personality."
Buchwalter (Spinnaker Island, Hull)
"We cannot speak highly enough of our experience with Joann. My husband and I were first time home buyers with little knowledge of the home buying process and how to find the right home. Joann was always available to answer our questions or give us her very helpful feedback after looking at houses. She did countless hours of research and showings with us which helped us narrow down what we were looking for and led us to our perfect home. Joann was very thorough through every step to our closing. We are so grateful for everything she did and highly recommend Joann!"
McCarthy (Scituate)
"While this is long overdue, we cannot go another day without saying how amazing Joann Taft is. Joann was more than just our realtor, she went above and beyond for us day and night, week after week while we searched for our forever home. She guided us through a very challenging market coupled with our challenging situation of being hundreds of miles away. Joann was knowledgeable, honest and devoted to finding the right home for us. And she did! We could not have asked for a better realtor through this whole process, from start to finish. You will be in incredible hands with Joann on your side. Thank you again, Joann!"
Malvesti (Scituate)
"Great Realtor! Always in tune with the market and what I was looking for. Stayed with me during the whole process and answered all my questions. Was a much better experience than the last house I bought."
Bardsley (Abington & Weymouth)
We needed to speak to a realtor quickly.
I met Joann and made it clear I wasn't ready to sell; and I didn't want to be contacted and explained that we were going through a very difficult time.
I was ready to hear a "sales pitch" and a scripted compassion speech.
I was wrong.
Joann listened, and answered all my questions. She never contacted me as I requested. She waited for me to contact her...unsure if we would. I asked her not to forward my information to anyone and she absolutely honored that.
I walked away from that first meeting 100% sure that if/when we moved forward I would only work with her. I had no doubt she would do her very best for us; and she did.
We had MANY unusual requests and she handled every one. She continued to show compassion and patience with us. She took on more things so that we could focus more on our situation.
Her flexibility to meet with us at dinner time, sometimes later, cutting plans short to meet us confirmed that she was focused and committed to helping us.
She set us up to sell and sell FAST.
Our house sold the first day to the second showing at full asking price.
She did due diligence. If she didn't have an answer she got it. She was very upfront with us about everything.
Although her job was done Joann continued to guide us and even worked with the buyer's realtor because of the unusual circumstances. Always being professional and respectful of our needs.
Even now if I have a question or need information I will reach out to her; and she is always willing to answer my questions.
We really lucked out when she answered my call that day.
I highly recommend her.
Voelger (Scituate)
"Joann helped us sell our renovated property. She came to our first meeting enthusiastic and well prepared, and every interaction we had with her after that was the same. She proposed an efficient sale process, arranged for the staging and photographs, gave us good and thoughtfully critical advice on finishing and pricing the house.
Her hands on involvement was vital to our successful closing transaction as well.
I could not be more impressed with her abilities and highly recommend her services. Her professionalism, market knowledge, and communication skills were top notch.
Thank you Joann!

Nabstedt (Scituate)
"Joann was very detail oriented and followed up on the many items of transferring ownership of a property. We were well informed and received weekly updates as to the status of showings and general interest in the property. The day of closing was smooth and the minor hang ups were attended to with a quick conclusion to everyone's satisfaction. I would not have any hesitation in using Joann on another transaction. Thank you, John Scott, co-owner 180 Stockbridge Road Scituate."
Scott (Scituate)
Seems so long ago when we met at an Open House! We were discussing the other homes in the area when we mentioned one we were about but had no response from the list agent. You were immediately able to arrange a showing for that afternoon! We knew that you were the one for us!
You kept us on track, answered all our questions and advocated for us to not be afraid to ask for what we wanted. You are knowledgeable with the finances, the documents, the steps (so many) and if you didn't know the answer, you researched and got it!
You were adept and always straight forward. You guided us through the mounds of paperwork and always followed up the next day to make sure we did not have any questions or concerns.
Your approach is one of compassion and dedication. I always felt that WE were the only clients you had!
Your job is much more that gainful employment... it is a way to assist and help people with the treacherous and sometimes frustrating process of home purchase...you are able to see the building as a "home" and the clients as the "family". You see the transaction as a personalized adventure!
