Making clients into friends...

Johanna made the process of buying our first home wonderful! We were searching for a foreclosed home and dealing with the bank was sometimes difficult. No matter what, though, Johanna kept us very informed and always managed to smooth out the bumps. Johanna always went above and beyond. She was even on the phone with us regarding our house while her husband was in the ER getting stitches! Through the entire process, Johanna became much more then our Realtor she also became our friend! We have already recommended her to several of our family and friends, and will continue to do so. If we were to sell our house we would without a doubt use Johanna Roy again!

Johanna was so amazing though the whole process. She informed us of every step we would nee to take towards ownership. Anything you need she has the solution!! I had her on my speed dial because I was so anxious to do things I was calling her with random questions often, she was too kind to give me answers. She made the entire experience stress free and fun. We were looking for a house that fit us and our dogs in a much specified area. We had such a blast hanging out (house shopping) It was like we had been great friends for years. I feel like we have become friends and I would recommend her services to anyone I come across. She went above and beyond during the negotiation process, it was our first home and we were nervous, she was amazing at helping us deciding what we wanted to offer and ask for. A++++++ for Johanna Roy!!

I had a very good experience buying a home with Johanna Roy. Her knowledge and expertise was a great help in me buying my first home. As stressful as it can be Johanna was very attentive on what I was looking for in a home. She was always willing to help in answering any questions or concerns that I may have had. I would definitely use Johanna again if I buy another home. Thanks Johanna.

Johanna helped me purchase my first home and I couldn't be happier with the results. Since our first meeting, Johanna has listened to all of my questions and concerns with an honest and caring ear. She understands the needs of the first time home buyer, and worked around my busy schedule to show me what seemed like a countless number of options. When I finally found the perfect place, she negotiated a great deal for me. Johanna's hard work and dedication made the transition from renter to owner so smooth and easy. I enthusiastically recommend her to anyone purchasing a new home.

Melanie M. - Oakdale

As a first time home buyer, I was very nervous about finding just the right place and the right person to help me find it. When I met Johanna, I knew I had found the right realtor. She listened to what I was looking for and gave me advice on things to consider when purchasing a home. She was flexible with my difficult work schedule and really went the extra mile to ensure I found the perfect place to call my own. I always felt like she had my best interest in mind. Johanna made my first home buying experience easy and enjoyable.

"Johanna did a phenomenal job working with us. We first met her at her first time homebuyer's seminar. Although we weren't looking for a home at the time, she kept in touch with us, and over a year later, we contacted her when we were ready to start looking. From the beginning of the process through closing, she was very helpful and was very accessible. Although she had many other buyers and sellers that she was working with at the time, it always seemed like we were her top priority. I'm sure everyone else could say the same thing about her. We will certainly work with her when it comes time to look for our next home in the future."

Mike & Meghan S. - Maplewood

"Johanna was great to work with. She helped us find the perfect home and kept us calm while selling our existing home. She has a positive personality and she ensured us that everything would work out in time and it did. She is skilled at negotiating and mediating, which helped when we were working with the builder of our new home. She did a great job and we would recommend her as a realtor."

Lesley & Jonathan K. - Lino Lakes

We will definitely recommend Johanna to anyone looking for a realtor. She is very ambitious, knowledgeable and genuinely cares about her clients. Johanna was always available to answer any questions or concerns we had. She made sure that the home we were selling had good exposure-she has very good marketing skills. On the buying side she really listened to what we wanted in a new home and helped us to find exactly what we were looking for. Johanna started as our realtor but in the end she became our friend. Thank you again Johanna for all your hard work.

"Johanna took care of everything, from the selling of our old home - to the arrangements for financing and closing of our new home. She did everything in a professional and timely manner. She was always available to answer, or find answers for any questions we had concerning the selling of our home and the purchase of the new home. Following through from the beginning to the end. Making our transition much easier, and I know without her, we would not be living in our new home today. A home that we just love."

Bill & Sharon R. - Lino Lakes

"Johanna helped us in so many ways, from finding the perfect house to making sure the details of the financing were ready to go at closing. I was very impressed with how well everything went."

Aaron & Tamara W. - Blaine

With the help of Johanna Roy, our family found the perfect home. We were very hesitant at first about the idea of selling our home and finding a new one, as it can be very stressful. Yet, we were put at ease after our fist meeting with Johanna. She was the first realtor who we felt comfortable with and gave us no pressure. She was very down to earth and easy to talk to, that was very important to us.

Johanna was very patient with us while we were looking for the perfect home, she never made us feel like we were wasting her time and really paid attention to what we liked and didn't like. She was always watching the new listings and updating us. She also worked very hard on selling our home and never tried to have us compromise what we originally needed and wanted to get out of selling. When the time came to sell our home and purchase our new one she had us reassured that everything would work out just fine and it did. Working with Johanna was a great experience for us; we have recommended her to family and friends if they are ever in need of a realtor. With Johanna we got someone we trusted and someone we could count on.

Warkel Family - Roseville

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Johanna Roy for our fist home buying experience. With the two of us being new to the world of real estate she did an excellent job of guiding us through the process. We had great rapport with her from our first meeting and we felt so at ease working with her. She was very in tune with our needs and wants and we never felt rushed or pushed in any directions we were not comfortable with. We had so much fun on our outings to look at houses and by the time we found our home we had become great friends. We are now living in a home that we both love and are so happy to be homeowners. Johanna played a vital role in making this happen and we would recommend her as a realtor to anyone looking to buy a home!
