Testimonials

"I cannot say enough good about Jo-An and Kristina. I now understand why Jo-An is a legend in OC. The mother-daughter duo was professional efficient kind discreet and a powerhouse team. I needed to sell my house quickly and still get a good price. Jo-An and Kristina worked their magic-and I mean MAGIC. I was not coping well with the specifics and they took care of the details and made everything work. I felt like I was on reality TV as I watched them transform my home and sell it for an amazing price. I'm a loyal fan and have already recommended them several times."

"We had such an amazing experience with Joan. My fiancé and I were first-time homebuyers and complete rookies (to say the least). It is a scary, intimidating, and extremely confusing process. Having Joan by our side made it a million times easier (and actually fun!). She (and Kristina) were so completely on top of everything—it was phenomenal. There was never a time when we were waiting on them. It was clear from the day I met her that she knew "the name of the game" and would go above and beyond to make sure all of our needs were met. We were able to get an offer accepted within four weeks of "shopping"—and it was all due to her guidance, knowledge, and expertise. We found a house we will love for a long time. When we are ready to find a new home, Joan will be getting a call!"

"The Hawley Verstrate team are amazing 5-star realtors. I had extreme confidence in Jo Ann and her team after they successfully sold my parent's home for top dollar in October. Within 2 months I was turning to Joann once again for help in finding the perfect home for me. I was not disappointed Joann oversaw every step in the purchase of my home and guided me in home purchase areas I was unaware of. The care they took in each stage of the process reinforced their expertise as the best realtors in the business!"

"Jo-an Hawley Verstraete and Kristina Verstraete with FirstTeam real estate was an absolute pleasure to work with and we couldn't be happier with the outcome of selling our home. From start to finish they exceeded our expectations in every way. Both Jo-an and Kristina were not only extremely knowledgeable about the market but also incredibly responsive and attentive to our needs. One of the standout aspects of working with Jo-an and Kristina was their ability to navigate the complexities of the sale with ease and professionalism. They provided valuable insights that helped us make informed decisions and their guidance throughout the process was invaluable. Thanks to Jo-an and Kristina's expertise we were able to sell our house for a price that was beyond our expectations. What truly set Jo-an and Kristina apart was their responsiveness. They were always just a phone call or text away ready to answer any questions or address any concerns we had no matter how small. This level of communication made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Suppose you're looking for a real estate agent who is not only skilled but also genuinely cares about your needs I highly recommend Jo-an and Kristina. They made selling our home a positive experience and we are incredibly grateful for their hard work and dedication."

"Our family engaged Jo-An and Kristina in helping us downsize. They had a huge rolodex of potential buyers for our home it was under contract in a few days. They pre-screened candidates for us we found the new home we wanted in 2 days. Their Rolodex of service providers (movers painters etc.) were all great. They were super professional. Always on time and prepared with the latest version of the necessary documents. Would highly recommend."
