Realtor licensed in DC, Maryland, and Virginia with expertise "inside the beltway". With sixteen years of real estate experience , I understand what a stressful transition it can be to sell or buy a home. It is an exciting and challenging time, and quite possibly, the most important financial decision in anyone's life. I know that every successful real estate transaction is not just the product of astute legal and financial negotiations, but also careful awareness of the emotional and personal context in which the sale takes place. I help my clients navigate through each real estate transaction and all it entails with reason, care, and good judgment.

She's also just a standup person with a great attitude and we were so happy to do our outings with her. Joan's great at what she does and she's awesome!

Joan was very helpful and diligent as usual with both the sale of our old house and the purchase of our new house. We were happy to work with Joan once again after working with her more than five years ago to buy our first house.

It was clear from the start that Joan was an expert in the area of my sale. She has a great team of resources available that proved to be very beneficial to keeping the momentum of the sale moving forward. Thank you Joan!

Joan is our rock star and we are so grateful for her partnership from our first experience with her on our side selling our 1st home in 2016 and then again purchasing and selling this home. She is a confident matter of fact kind of person and we love her style so much that we referred her to 2 of my work colleagues and she assisted them in purchasing their homes as well! Simply said, Joan was a perfect match for us!
The experience of the entire process from start to finish was seamless and the partnership with Joan was spot on! We were extremely satisfied with the level of service she provided and we are truly grateful to have worked with her for the 3rd time!
Again, Joan is awesome and her style was a perfect match for us!

Joan is an impeccable professional. We used her both to sell our house and then buy the new one and I can't imagine working with anyone else. She was with us every step of the way and ensured everything moved smoothly with no missteps. Moving is stressful enough- having Joan on our team ensured we had someone looking our for our best interests and lead us through to a perfect closing. All buyers- whether first time or experienced- need Joan in their corner.

As the personal representative of the estate of a close friend, I am so thankful that the condominium association president recommended Ms. Joan Carmichael. Ms. Carmichael was extremely professional, experienced, and knowledgeable. A real people person, she has great communication and listening skills. I most appreciated the fact that Ms. Carmichael always answered phone calls and replied promptly to text messages and emails. Having worked previously on two other estate sales with different agents from other companies, my best experience was with Ms. Carmichael. It's for this reason that I highly recommend Ms. Joan Carmichael!
Buyer Rating:
Joan was extremely accommodating to our entirely virtual purchase of a home. Her willingness to coordinate with our family that's located in the area to schedule showings when we could not go, and facilitation of communication between ourselves and the seller, lender, and title company was critical for our ability to complete this purchase from the other side of the country. When our close date had to be moved due to unforeseen circumstances, she helped maintain communication between all involved parties so that it was a smooth process. She was also critical in getting a seller credit when the home inspection revealed necessary repairs and updates.
Joan's overall approach to business was excellent, and we had a wonderful experience working with her. We would recommend her to others to work with.

We purchased our house with Joan and recommended her to multiple friends over the years. She has always been amazing.
She was amazing in every aspect!

I was connected with Joan by an agent I had previously worked with who had since moved out of the area when we were looking to buy again. From our very first meeting we were impressed with her attention to detail when she pointed out some construction flaws on the front porch of a home - before we even went inside - and said this was an indication that the contractors likely cut corners inside (she was right!). Once we found a place Joan made the contract process go as smoothly as possible. The home we ended up purchasing is new construction which comes with its own set of challenges since it was still under construction when we made our offer. We really appreciated having Joan as our advocate while working with the construction managers and crew to get information on things like progress updates and fixing punch list items. Joan is a very talented agent who goes above and beyond, and it was much appreciated during our buying process!
Buyer Rating:

Joan worked diligently to negotiate with the seller on the punch list items from inspections. We are glad we had Joan on our side!!
This is my second time working with Joan for obvious reasons. Joan is available at any hours of the day when you have questions or concerns, and we really appreciate that!
Buyer Rating:
Joan was wonderful during this whole experience from A to Z. She made sure she understood what I was looking for and was incredibly knowledgeable about the market. She was always at the ready with information that I would not have even known to ask. Strongly recommend her!
Buyer Rating:
She secured me a listing where there were five other offers! I won the bid even though my condo was on a contingency offer. Without her, I would not have gotten the home in my dream location of Capitol Hill. She is also willing to work with another agent who uses sign language that does not currently have a license in DC, but they worked together to ensure I fully understood the entire process. I was so pleased with the outcome of everything in a short amount of time. They are such a great team! I would use them again in the future.
Buyer Rating:
Joan is so good that we have used here twice, she sold a home for us in DC and helped us buy one. Great DC knowledge, availability and honest. We could not have asked for a better partner.
Buyer Rating:
My daughter knows Joan professionally and when I stated I needed a realtor, there was no hesitation in my daughter's recommendation for Joan.
I purchased a residence sight unseen, I trusted Joan to use her judgment and great people skills to navigate an uncomfortable transaction.
Everything turned out great
I'd choose Joan again. We had a hurdle trying to assuage the management in my new residence. This particular management partner I assume was mistreated by another realtor and was rather difficult at the beginning. Joan won her over . It is important to me that management sees me in good favor .
Joan was available to me by phone, text, and email. I was comforted by her accessibility and I felt safe
Thanks Joan
