About Joel Harms

"Joel is amazing. He helped us purchase our home every step of the way. Even after the closing Joel-was and is still helpful to us in so many ways. Joel is extremely responsive which is very important during the process of purchasing a home. He took on responsibilities that were more than likely out of his responsibility but he did so without complaints and goes out of his way to ensure our satisfaction. I have worked with Joel on two real estate transactions and would highly recommend him to anyone."
Lisa Santy (Provincetown)

"Joel helped me with my first home purchase in Provincetown last fall, and I could not have done it without him! I was trying to purchase a condo, which was an estate sale and we were up against multiple other offers. Joel was able to work with the seller's agent to make sure we were competitive, and totally informed throughout the entire process. Once our offer had been accepted, Joel connected me with the absolute best home inspector, and kept the purchase on track with the seller's attorney and my lender to make sure nothing fell through the cracks. Buying a home can be quite stressful at times, but I always knew Joel was a quick phone call away, and would know what to do if we got stuck on anything."

Peter and Bob reviewed Joel Harms on 5/17/17: My partner and I met Joel shortly after we moved to Provincetown full-time. We instantly became friends. Once we decided we were ready to purchase a home here, we knew Joel was the one we wanted to guide us through the process. His easy-going sensibility, availability, and knowledge of the market helped make the process a more enjoyable one when it can often be a struggle. The home we settled on had just come down considerably in price, and had attracted a great deal of interest. Joel had our offer in very quickly, and stayed right on top of a bit of back and forth negotiation until we came to an agreement. We were so thankful for his professionalism at closing this deal and all his help in finding us the other professionals required to complete such an important transaction. We highly recommend Joel, and we'll be calling on him again should we be in the market to sell or buy again in the Provincetown area."

"Scott Dean reviewed Joel Harms on 4/11/17: We have known Joel for many years and used him for numerous real estate transactions. He is always very professional and knowledgeable about local real estate in Provincetown.

Scott Dean (Provincetown)

"Rob and Doug reviewed Joel Harms on 2/9/17: We are very pleased working with Joel in the sale of our condo. One of the primary reasons we selected Joel was his long term experience with Provincetown and in real estate. He was spot on about the ultimate price we could expect for our sale though he worked for several months at our request pursuing the high end of the market. During that time he was tireless in coming up with creative approaches and being available to agents and their clients when it was convenient for them. Joel attended to both major and minor details which would have been more difficult for us especially long distance. I highly recommend Joel Harms."

"Andy Towle reviewed Joel Harms on 1/27/2017: I was a first time home buyer and helped me navigate each step of the way once I had identified the home I wanted. I have known him since I first came to Provincetown 25 years ago and he knows the town and the market here like the back of his hand. I have the utmost confidence in his expertise and would take his advice on another real estate purchase in a second."

"James Trosino reviewed Joel Harms on 1/26/2017: We first met Joel several years before we found the house that we ultimately purchased in Provincetown. During that time, we found several properties that were of interest, but it took us a while to find the right house. Throughout that process, Joel was extremely patient, resourceful, creative, and helpful. He has deep knowledge of the local market, and most importantly, has a great sense of humor, which is helpful when dealing with real estate transactions. Since we purchased the house, Joel has managed rentals for us, which has been invaluable. We highly recommend Joel."

"Olivier Jamin Changeart reviewed Joel Harms on 1/25/2017: When we started talking to some friends that we had decided to purchase condominium in Provincetown, Joel was recommended as a reliable, competent and enjoyable person to work with.
He didn?t disappoint us at all. From the very beginning, we felt he was asking the right questions in order to discover the rare gem that fitted in our budget. And only after our second round of visits, we put an option on a very atypical house. Throughout the all-buying process, his expertise, his knowledge and his connections helped us tremendously, reassuring us we were doing the right thing. He was very reactive in emails, responding to thousand of questions we had. He provided all the necessary documentations we were asking for to finally assist us with ease until the closing. Joel is now a friend."
Olivier Jamin Changeart (Provincetown)

"Brad and Danny reviewed Joel Harms on 1/24/2017: My husband and I have worked with Joel to buy and sell a total of three homes in PTown over the past few years.

We would highly recommend working with him if you are looking to buy/sell a home in the area"

"Thomas and Jonathan reviewed Joel Harms on 1/18/2017: I first met Joel in 2011, the year he moved to Provincetown on a full-time basis. He has tremendous knowledge about the town and the house buying process. He led us through this journey with expertise and made sure we were up-to-date with the procedure. If you are in the market for a full-time home, or a vacation home, I highly recommend Joel as your broker. He won't let you down."
Thomas and Jonathan (Provincetown)

"Greg and Jeff reviewed Joel Harms on 1/18/2017: We were acquaintances before Joel helped us purchase a vacation condo in Provincetown, MA. The negotiation surrounding the first potential property was somewhat difficult due to our perceived overpricing of the property. Joel did an outstanding job of helping us with comparisons with properties recently on the market and was excellent in communicating our feelings to the seller's agent. That negotiation did not work out, but Joel quickly informed us of a condominium that was recently put on the market. It was perfect, so we made a quick offer which was accepted. Joel was great through the rest of the process which went off without a hitch. I would recommend him without hesitation."
Jeff and Greg (Provincetown)

"Don Murray reviewed Joel Harms on 1/18/2017: Joel was the listing agent for a property in Ptown we recently purchased in October of 2016. He was so thorough and knowledgeable of the product we quickly hired him to be our buyers agent as well. This was a very complex sale as it was purchased through a self directed IRA. Joel was on top of all the special financing documentation required and provided us all the necessary resources to close quickly and without incident. We have since hired him to be our property manager and will definitely use him to purchase our next Ptown property."
Don Murray (Provincetown)

"Mark Levine reviewed Joel Harms on 11/6/2014: I was a first-time buyer but the property I was purchasing was to be used for both enjoyment and investment. Joel was invaluable at sharing the nuances of that type of purchase and tipped me off to my home well before it hit the market. Going beyond the call of duty is the theme that comes to mind when I look back on my first home-buying experience with Joel and I intend to use him when I purchase my next.
Cannot recommend enough!"

My husband and I have been traveling to Cape Cod for years and made the wonderful decision to finally purchase property in Provincetown.

"Stephen reviewed Joel Harms on 3/5/19: Trusting a stranger for extensive help with a large purchase is a big deal. From the very day I ?cold called? Joel Harms about showing me the property I was interested in purchasing, Joel earned my trust in a natural sort of way. I felt like he was truly interested in helping me for my sake, not his wallet. Joel was extremely good with following-up at every turn, answering questions thoroughly, delivering complicated news or updates in concise and understandable language, and I appreciated his excellent help in negotiating the contract back and forth. And right after my closing, he was kind enough to help me unpack my stuff and even haul the boxes in his own car over to the recycle center. Joel is the agent you want from start to finish.

He is exceptionally patient yet assertive, and extremely detail oriented. There's no one else you should select for the home buying or selling process in Provincetown - Joel is simply the best"
