TESTIMONIALS

What clients are saying...


Joy and Brian some of the kindest people I have ever met. I’m not sure I could have picked a worse time to buy my first home but I could not have ended up with a more perfect one. The journey was a roller coaster, but Joy didn’t let me get discouraged and was always so willing to pivot strategies, give excellent advice and suggest new options to make sure I found something I loved.

Though I can only imagine how busy Joy, Brian, and their team are, they always responded so quickly and positively. Showings never felt rushed and as a rookie home buyer unfamiliar with the process, no question ever felt dumb. Joy always made me feel like I was her only client, no matter how much else was on the go.

I would recommend the Making Real Estate a Joy team in a hot second, and will definitely be back when it’s time for the next one! :)

Working with Brian and Raquel was an absolute treat! They were flexible with our needs and worked hard to find us the perfect home for a fair price. I would highly recommend working with them!!

Joy was great to work with throughout the whole home buying process! As a first time home buyer having a tough time getting into the market Joy provided good, reasonable advice, she kept my expectations realistic, while staying positive about my prospects of finding something. It is great that she and Brian work together, it meant someone was always available to go to showings quickly.
Because of how difficult the market is, it took me about 8 months and 4 offers until I finally found a home, but throughout that whole time Joy was always responsive, and answered any questions I had. During my final offer Joy gave me good advice and advocated for me to still get a good price on the home that I bought.

We have used Joy to sell and buy our last few homes.  She was very knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and helpful every step of the way.  She sold the homes for great prices, and helped us negotiate a great price for our purchase and even recommended a contractor who did a fabulous job on our reno.  I would use Joy again and have recommended her to friends and family.  My mom was very happy with her recent sale and purchase too!

Joy has been an absolute pleasure to work with and very professional. I was very new to this whole process of buying a home and Joy took me under her wing making me feel so comfortable. As a first time home buyer, Joy provided me with so much insight and knowledge into the market and guided me through this whole process,making me feel at ease. I truly loved how she had my best interest at heart, looked out for me, and never let me settle. I really appreciated how honest she was and always provided me with great advice. In the end, she found me a home that I am obsessed with, checked all the boxes and more!
**I highly recommend Joy as a realtor! Such a pleasure to work with personally and professionally. Such an awesome person! Thank you 🤗

We've worked with Joy on a few different sales and purchases over the last couple of years and she has been great to work with!  She's set the bar high for what we look for in a realtor.  She really knows her stuff, is always available when we need her and makes sure to give our dog some extra love whenever she came over.  Would highly recommend working with Joy!

Joy has been our family realtor for many transactions and years now. Now our kids are buying their first home through Joy as well. She has an amazing sense of urgency and her response times are phenomenal.
We are very confident to refer her to family and friends! From sale prep to closing the deal-she has integrity and professionalism.

Joy was an absolute real estate super star! She sold my condo for over asking price and found our dream home all in the same day. No matter what time of day, she was always available to contact and accommodated all of our viewings! She is also very knowledgeable and gave us confidence with every offer we put in. I wouldn’t use anyone else 😃🏡❤️

Brian and Joy were AMAZING to work with.They helped us buy our first home in this crazy market, and they definitely know their stuff.

10/10 would recommend them.

- Alyana Versolatto

Joy has helped us sell a rental property recently and has shown us that there are still great agents out there! Not only does she demonstrate her dedication to her clients as if they were her only ones, her list of industry contacts to assist in any last minute fixes or repairs is second to none!

As we live out of town from the rental, we were anticipating a lot of travel back and forth to handle any issues or questions but Joy was phenomenal in helping us avoid the travel until it was necessary! Her professionalism, dedication and expertise to this sale truly made it so much easier for us! We would, and have, happily recommended Joy to all of our friends and family and look forward to working with her again in the future!

Thanks Again!

I am not from the area and for me it was crucial to have someone who knew everything about the different neighbourhoods available as I was otherwise shooting blind. Joy was patient and passionate when it came to explaining not only the benefits, but also the drawbacks of every potential home and area. After a long search, as I was fairly particular, I found the one. It needed some work and Joy even went above and beyond, as is her nature, and helped me select finishes after closing that would help maximize on my renovation dollars when I choose to move down the line. For me, there will never be another realtor to call, Joy is a one stop shop and has a powerhouse personality.

- Mark

Joy is just that, a Joy. This little firecracker has an energy that is infectious. I have purchased 2 homes with Joy and have relied on her well beyond closing for any questions I have had whether they have been related to furniture choices, accent decor or even helping me choose paint. Joy takes her job well beyond just transactional and treats you like family or a close friend.

- Darryl

I have had the pleasure of working with Joy Stewart in both capacities of selling and purchasing a home.

She is a consummate professional. Prompt responses to any concerns or questions, respectful, punctual and extremely efficient. Proficient knowledge of the industry and the market. She was instrumental in making the process a success for myself and my family!

Her positive attitude and sparkling personality are a bonus!

- Barb Simon

Joy has worked with us on a number of real estate projects, both personal and investment related, and we have come to fully trust that the best interests of her clients are her number one priority, whether buying or selling. Her full attention to her clients needs is evidenced by her quick response to every communication. Joy has a wealth of knowledge and is quite willing to share it, openly and honestly, all to her clients benefit. We wholeheartedly give Joy our recommendation!!!
