Seller reviewWe found him by searching for realtors in our area. We then received a recommendation from someone else and interviewed them both. We chose Joe because of his vision for our property, his desire to jump in head first and his enthusiasm. He was incredibly helpful, knew how to market the property and provided valuable feedback at every turn!! He was incredibly genuine and kind and had such a sincere demeanor. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a realtor. We have used century 21 realtors in the past, but none as incredible as Joe. It was a wonderful experience. My questions were answered and my perspective was taken into consideration at every turn. I greatly appreciate everything he has done for us.

Buyer reviewWe were not real familiar with the Lansing area, but Joe was very knowledgeable and helpful. Overall, this was a great experience for us. We would definitely recommend Joe to family and friends.

Buyer reviewWe are new Michiganders and really lucked out in finding Joe! He was not only extremely knowledgable, but so patient with us (1st time home buyers!) in a crazy housing market. When we found the one, Joe made sure our offer was solid without spending more than we should. Paperwork was easy and stream-lined. Joe really does go above and beyond for his clients and is an expert at what he does. Most importantly he is a wonderful person who always took care of us and made a stressful process comfortable and fun! We can't recommend Joe enough for anyone selling or buying a home.

Buyer reviewI simply couldn't be more pleased with how Joe took care of me and my family. My wife never felt marginalized or ignored, he never seemed bothered when my son was fussy, he treated my father with honesty and respect. He was simply the perfect fit for this. I had a miserable experience with my mortgage lady at Chase. The only thing to really help get me through and keep me sane was his assistance in things. He mediated issues, took care of phone calls, went above and beyond to make my process smoother. My banker at Chase recommended Joe, said he was a hard worker, honest, and a great guy. I trusted her fully and she was correct.

Buyer reviewJoe came highly recommended from multiple friends and acquaintances, some of whom had both professional and personal experience working with him. This was the biggest factor in our decision to work with Joe to find our house, and we couldn't be happier with how wonderful he made the homebuying experience for us. Joe guided us through the purchase process every step of the way with clear and direct communication; we really felt supported by him and his expertise, and he demonstrated great skill in negotiating the price and terms of our purchase. Knowing we had such a knowledgeable, personable, and professional agent working with us made the entire homebuying process so much less stressful than we know it could have been! We cannot recommend Joe enough, and plan to sing his praises to anyone looking to buy or sell their home in the Lansing area.

Seller reviewWhen I initially thought of putting my home on the market for sale I was overwhelmed. I asked a friend if he knew any realtors. He suggested Joe Vitale. As he had dealt with Joe, and had a good experience. I asked my friend to let Joe know that I would like to be contacted. Joe contacted me, and we setup a meeting. Joe Vitale arrived at my home a few days later for our first meeting. I was nervous, and very concerned about the whole process of selling my home. After sitting down, and speaking with Joe I quickly realized that I had made the correct choice in meeting with Joe. He proved to be very knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. He put me at ease. Joe laid out a plan of what we had to do to get the home ready for sale, and a timeline. Then he guided, and assisted me during the entire process of getting my home ready for sale. He was always there ready to answer questions, and help resolve any issues that arrose. Many times going well above what anyone could reasonably expect of a realtor. My home was ready for sale within a very short time period, and was put on the market. Again Joe Vitale was on point. Taking care of everything. It sold qickly. I am very pleased with the outcome of the whole process. In conclusion I would highly recommend Joe Vitale, and Century 21 Looking Glass Realty to anyone looking to buy, or sell their home.
