  • Buyer review
    Joe was awesome to work with. Throughout the process I felt that he was truly fighting for my best interest in this crazy market. I have a pretty hectic schedule but Joe was flexible with me and I never felt like he was withholding something from me. If there was something he noticed about a house that wasn't great he was quick to point it out. Joe's assistant Jessica is a pleasure to work with! Super kind and quick to answer questions! I'm looking forward to having Joe help me again in the future.
  • Seller review
    It's stressful enough having to sell a house, but doing so being out of state is even more nerve wracking. However Joe Vitale was easily accessible and patient with us. He provided valuable insight to how best to move forward. We were able to fully trust Joe to be our advocate every step of the way. If we're ever back in the area, we'll definitely seek Joe's expertise again!
  • Buyer review
    Joe went above and beyond for us in the purchase of our home. He was always willing to answer questions, get us the best services needed and overall was the most amazing experience we have had in purchasing a house thus far. We would recommend him to anyone who was looking for the absolute best realtor.
  • Buyer review
    Joe Vitale was EXCEPTIONAL. As first time homebuyers, we wanted an agent that could explicitly walk through each step of the homebuying process, offer suggestions and advice, and provide us with open communication in real time. Joe exceeded our expectations in every possible way. He made the overwhelming process of homebuying manageable and straightforward. Although we knew he had dozens of other clients in addition to managing other properties, he took the time to make us feel like we were his only clients. He was always up front on what to expect the second we walked into a house, was well-read on every property, knew the selling agents in the area, and helped us prepare a well-rounded offer. Additionally, he knew local inspectors, contractors, loan officers, etc. so we were prepared to tackle each step of the process due to his guidance. In a sellers market, Joe took every opportunity to help us maximize our offer and our working relationship. He picked up every phone call and responded right away to our text messages. He was timely, polite, and constantly made us laugh. His approach to homebuying was to be a teacher and a friend, and that was more than we ever could've asked for from this experience.
  • Seller review
    Joe is phenomenal! He feels like a part of our family. Joe was very insightful of what we needed to do to provide the best showing of our home. He also did what was necessary including additional open houses and even offered virtual showings due to the Covid restrictions. Once our home was listed, he promptly had beautiful flyers and signage placed in our year. Professional yet personable throughout the entire process. Joe is truly an amazing man with such high levels of integrity. We were blessed to have found Joe. His knowledge and patience were greatly appreciated during both the purchase and sale of our homes.
  • Seller review
    Joe is the best example that I have experienced in what a fantastic real estate agent should be. He is the best agent I have experienced in over thirty years of being a residential real estate manager. It's to bad he can't be cloned- it would raise the bar in the practice of real estate agency.
