How We Helped Amy Market Her House

What was your expeirence working with Joy Daniels?

"I felt that they did a really good job with the whole process with advertising, getting my house out there. I did get an offer in 3 to 4 weeks after we had put it on the market. The seller's agent did a really good job of that. With the buyer's agent, he did help us out. It was a really good, positive experience. With Rich, who was the seller's agent, when he was trying to sell the house, he was very helpful. He got an interior decorator in to try to see what we could do better with staging the house. Because of that, they recommended that we move some things around. That meant we would have to remove a chair and we didn't know where to put it. Rich actually offered us his own house to keep until we actually sold the house. It was only about three weeks later, but that was going above and beyond normally, what I would've expected of somebody. That was one thing that really stands out that Rich did for us. We didn't have to use him, I took it to a neighbor's house, It was nice of him to offer as an avenue we could've taken."

How We Gave Linda a Perfect Real Estate Transaction

What was your expeirence working with Joy Daniels?

"It was perfect, from day one until we sold the house, our agent was excellent. Everything he told us, he said we would sell our house within two or three days and we did. Everything just went perfectly. We got the amount we wanted for our house, and we didn't have any problems at all. Any questions we had, we contacted our agent and it was just perfect. No matter what paperwork, anything like that. If we had any questions about anything. Now we had a homeowner's association, and we had to get a letter from them saying we were moving out. Our agent did all that for us. We didn't have to do that. He was really right on the ball, doing everything we needed to have done. It was just perfect. I would recommend Joy Daniels to anybody. In fact, I've already done that with a couple people that I've talked to. We've had other real estate companies, but this one was just a ten. That's all I can say, it was perfect."

How We Negotiated on Behalf of Karen and Her Family

What was your expeirence working with Joy Daniels?

"She went above and beyond by staying in touch with us at all times, making us feel like we are the only ones that matter, she made us very comfortable during the sale. She was open, honest, she did not hold anything back, she was just really awesome. We had a bad experience with a Realtor before her and were nervous about finding a good one. She came highly recommended, and was everything I hoped she would be. At the end of the sale, the buyer wanted us to give them another $700 for some small repairs. She told them we were offering $250 and that wasn't good enough for them. She discussed it with the seller's Realtor and they helped us with our sale."

Every real estate transaction is one of a kind, and throughout the years we have helped thousands of families buy and sell homes. At Joy Daniels Real Estate Group, we strive to treat each client as an individual, with their own unique vision of how to buy or sell their home.

While the client perspective will always be our top priority, nothing puts things into better perspective than experiencing selling your home first hand, which is exactly what Chris and I recently did. We spent the entire summer going through the same process that we routinely help our clients through.

The first step we took was preparation. Our listing agents are constantly preaching preparation to their clients, so this was my opportunity to practice what we preach. We chose to get our home pre-inspected, which means we had an inspector come in and take a look at our home before it hit the market. This is attractive to potential buyers and is helpful in teaching sellers the true condition of their home. This helped us jump ahead of the curve, as we made small repairs inside and out before even listing our home!

Next, we decluttered our rooms and closets and staged the home to sell. Then we moved outside; we mulched, cleaned the shed, repainted our brick walkway, and even purchased a new pool line, knowing these expenses would really pay off in the end.

All of that preparation culminated in our photography appointment. Professional real estate photography is a remarkably important step to selling your home. Joy Daniels Real Estate Group has used professional photography from the beginning. These photos are your chance to make a lasting impression on potential buyers -- Chris and I realized this, so we put a lot of work and effort into preparing our photo appointment. The preparation paid off, as our photos looked absolutely fantastic!

We put our photos up on various websites, but the one we most want to tell you about is our own. We have a new website called CentralPAComingSoon.com which allows sellers to showcase their home before it's even listed. The Coming Soon sign in the yard really jumpstarted the process. We went active in the last week of May, and within a week, we already had an offer! Chris and I were overjoyed knowing our hard work had made a difference.

However, as we already knew going into the sale, real estate is never a sure thing. The deal we were working on eventually fell apart. At the time, it was a lot to process -- the prospect of going back on the market was really disheartening. But we knew what we had to do. Real estate transactions have ups and downs, but since we were already in a good position to list, it was not a problem getting up and running again. Our home went live in August, but we didn't receive any offers in the first few weeks. We decided the best thing to do would be to lower the price, which we did, and ended up getting a whole bunch of showings! We sold it the weekend following the price reductions!

Next, we had to actually move out -- but we'll cover THAT in our next video! If you have any questions about selling, or real estate in general, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We would love to hear from you!

How we helped Leslie buy a new house!

We worked with one of her agents named George. He was very helpful. We were looking for a new home rather than an existing home sale. He was helpful with the valuation of the lot, the features that would be useful for resale purposes as we were planning the home, and neighborhoods with the best resale values. We appreciated his insights and he worked with us a little bit in the process during our initial walk through when the builder has a different inspection times, and he offered insights during those times as well. It was good to have him. He had been involved with the builder before and was a new home specialist.

On one occasion, he traveled with me from Harrisburg to Lancaster. He went with me to the design center and was very helpful with advice concerning buyer interest, home trends, and other things we should be thinking about when making decisions about features we should put in the house.

How we helped Shelby with her real estate transaction by staying in constant contact

"They were absolutely amazing. There was never a period of time that went by that we didn’t have some sort of update from Joy or her assistant Heidi. They were readily available, and basically in constant contact with us!"

How we helped Jennifer sell her home by always being professional

"Being that she’s the president of the company, we felt honored that Joy wanted to work with us. Twelve days after the house went on the market, we got an offer! I think the communication was great. Everyone that we talked to was professional and happy. We could tell they all love their jobs! It was just an all-around positive experience."

How we helped Ed buy a home by working around his family’s schedule

"When we were looking for a real estate agent, we wanted to work with someone who was willing to work around our schedule. Joy and her team quickly exceeded our expectations in helping us find a home. They were there for us, they walked us through many homes, and were even chipper and brought us coffee when we’d go look at homes at an unholy hour on a Saturday morning. I never had to wait longer than 30 minutes for them to return a phone call and they were also involved in the community, which shows a commitment to the community at large. Joy has sold over 3 homes for my family and when she sells my current home in the spring, we look forward to working with the best team in Harrisburg and Central Pennsylvania!"

How we helped Mitzi sell her home by being helpful through every step of the process

"They helped me sell my home even through some of the wrinkles that my ex-husband caused. They had peak traffic through my house and they did a very good job with the marketing aspect. I just always felt comfortable with her. They really helped me through the closing and even after the sale when I had breast cancer and couldn’t mow my grass, my Realtor Nick came out a couple times to help me with that which was above and beyond! It was just a really good experience and I recommend Joy all the time!"

How we helped Gary with his real estate needs with our great team effort

"We’ve worked with Joy for several years now. She aided us in buying the current house we’re living in and also the house that we just sold. Joy and her whole team just have their act together. I was in the business for myself and I know how hard it is to get a team to click and she just seems to be able to do that."

How we helped Jessica sell her home by resolving issues quickly

"Both my husband and I are very happy with the results. We actually sold 2 homes through the Joy Daniels Real Estate Group and both of them went off without a hitch! We had some issues with the well at our home and when we were on vacation it needed to be run for an extended time over and few days and Joy made sure that it was taken care of by the time we got back so we were ready to go for settlement."
