Joanne brings over 25 years of experience in real estate, excellent customer service, finance and relocation. Joanne is an honors graduate of St. Benedictine University. She studied Organizational Leadership with concentrations in Human Resources and Business. Prior to her relocation back to NC in 2017, she served in the financial banking world as an executive leader within Chicago Metro North for BMO Harris Bank. These experiences instilled in her the discipline and knowledge it takes to lead a team to success. Joanne carries this with her in real estate as she and her partner navigate the many relationships involved in each client’s transaction.; from mortgage loan officers and attorneys, to appraisers and inspectors, just to name a few. Helping you, as a client, reach your goals is her top priority. The diversity within Joanne’s life and career growth has allowed for expert care and vigilance in all conversations and negotiations for her clients. Joanne bought her first home and closed on her 18th birthday. She remembers the challenges she faced as a first time home buyer, and used this experience to launch her real estate career shortly after. The journey throughout her career has brought her face to face with many successes, challenges and obstacles. She is strong in her resolve to care for you as a client and has proven time and again she will go above and beyond to see her clients smile. Joanne has been recognized as a top performer throughout her career and continues to credit this to her genuine care for her clients’ goals.
Joanne is a proud mother of 3 adult children, step-mother and grandmother. She enjoys hiking, painting, music and being with her family. Her relocation back to NC and the journey since then, has led her to find her love and partner in both life & business, Keith Rhodes. Together, they are a powerhouse team serving their clients. She is happy to have a partner for her clients that is savvy, knowledgeable, vigilant and caring.
