Joanne also emphasizes that maintaining a good balance in her life is very important. She belongs to many top state and international real estate organizations as well as community organizations. Joanne actively participates in the Creative Women of Pinnacle Peak, the Phoenix and Scottsdale Chambers of Commerce, and the Kidney Foundation. She received a kidney transplant in 1999 and firmly endorses the cause.

Having witnessed the changes in real estate over the years, Joanne is happy to share that the market is still excellent. Since most of her top clients are CEO's of corporations and many of them are second or third home buyers, she knows that there is a great deal of wealth coming into Arizona. Her knowledge of golf and luxury communities has given her the opportunity to see more buyers than ever before who are purchasing homes over $1 million in the past two to three years. Her clients choose Arizona due to the climate and the unpretentious lifestyle it affords. Joanne specializes in Scottsdale golf properties and Scottsdale luxury homes; many in gated communities.
Price ranges are from $400,000 - $10,000,000 plus.
