MEET JOYCE

“Thanks to Joyce Sciarillo's professional skills and personal support, our rather complex house sale went as smoothly as one could hope for. With her local knowledge of the Chatham area housing market, Joyce provided a thorough analysis of my aunt's property and suggested a strategy and price that led to a quick and successful sale. I am from California and was unfamiliar with the more involved processes of selling a home in New Jersey. With her familiarity and expertise, Joyce guided me through the whole sales process from getting the house ready to choosing a lawyer to signing the final paperwork. Based on my unique situation, and the type of property, Joyce recommended to sell to a builder, which turned out to be an ideal option as it saved us time, money, and most of all, reduced the complexity of the process. Joyce quickly found an interested builder, secured a most favorable offer, negotiated skillfully, and drove the deal to its successful conclusion. I would like to especially thank Joyce for her extraordinary efforts and support in getting the house ready for sale. This being an estate, I had to sort, pack up, sell, donate, and toss an incredible amount of contents. She put me in touch with auctioneers and charities, and then worked with them to get items assessed and moved. Finally, with unbridled energy and enthusiasm, Joyce organized and did the bulk of the work to set up and hold an incredibly successful weekend estate sale. Joyce was recommended to me by my aunt's financial advisor, and she proved to be extremely knowledgeable, fully responsive to my needs, as well as helpful and supportive throughout a challenging time. In addition to going above and beyond the duties of a realtor to realize the sale of this house, she was a pleasure to work with. Therefore, I warmly and highly recommend Joyce if you need to sell your home.”

“This is a long overdue review for my good friend Joyce Sciarrillo. In the fall of 2023 I was faced with downsizing my home of 42 years and moving to Virginia. I hadn’t known Joyce for very long but she offered to help and she certainly did! She provided input on current market prices, did a super job with a garage sale and provided a lot of help with donating excess furniture, etc. Aside from all the help she was always cheerful and upbeat - so easy to work with.”

“My husband and I met Joyce in September of 2020 at an open house in Chatham when we first began looking to purchase a home in the area. She worked tirelessly with us for over six months to find the perfect house, helping us navigate an incredibly competitive and fast-moving market. She helped us narrow our search, wrote countless letters to potential sellers in our desired neighborhood, and gave us quick feedback and guidance at every turn. She was incredibly patient and never once pushed us to purchase until we were ready. After seeing almost three dozen properties, we found our dream house and she helped us quickly get under contract. She continues to follow-up with us every step of the way and guide us as first time home buyers. We are so grateful to have met her and highly recommend her to anyone searching for a home in the area.”

“Joyce was an absolute pleasure to work with. We met by chance at an open house and immediately connected, excited to work together. She is extremely professional and made what is often a stressful experience an enjoyable one. She was helpful in putting together prospective houses and provided us with market intelligence on the regions we were looking. Importantly she was also very in tune with us and developed a level of trust that we truly appreciated (for example, understanding our timelines and needs and never pressuring us despite their constant change). When it came to the close process, she appropriately gave her opinions and also leveraged her professional network when questions came about that she didn't have an answer to off hand. All in all, we would highly recommend Joyce and are very happy that we got to work with her”

“Joyce was a pleasure to work with during the whole process of preparing the home for sale, the listing, the negotiations and finally the closing. Many times she went above and beyond the duties of a realtor. I highly recommend Joyce. She is thoughtful, caring and very knowledgeable about selling a home. She always kept me informed of what to expect next. I would definitely use her again. ”

“Joyce was very thorough and on my side when it came to renting my home. She was very communicative and helpful throughout the entire process. She truly cares about her clients! I will definitely be using her when I need to buy a home. Thanks, Joyce!”

“Picking the right realtor to sell your home can be one of the most important decisions in your life. In our case, we were selling our family home in which my parents had lived for over 50 years. You need someone smart, experienced, thorough, engaged, and supportive. Joyce not only brought those attributes to the table but she is also passionate about being an advocate for her client, and also kind and compassionate about the emotional journey and stresses that come with all real estate transactions. She was lovely with my elderly Mom - always taking the time to listen and answer her questions. Like many home sales there were nuances, a couple of detours and surprises along the way. Here Joyce also shone as she helped navigate us through and successfully negotiated a fair resolution. Joyce puts her clients needs ahead of her own and goes above and beyond and that is the kind of person you can trust and you want on your side. I highly recommend her if you are looking to buy or sell real estate. I've dealt with many realtors over the years and she is the best. ”

Joyce was a wonderful realtor for my wife and I, and helped us land our first house in a brutally competitive market. She was attentive to our needs, and helped us get a better idea of what we wanted in a home. Joyce arranged open houses with a variety of homes that fit our price range, and she had an intuitive feel for the quantity and dollar amount of competitive offers for homes we were interested in. After we found a house and had our offer accepted, Joyce helped us navigate through closing, and was a terrific resource for us (and our never-ending list of questions). I would strongly recommend Joyce to anyone looking to buy or sell their home, as she combines an astute knowledge of New Jersey’s real estate market with a kind and patient attitude.

“Joyce did a wonderful job helping us sell our home. We appreciated her responsiveness and attention to detail. She guided us every step of the way, from initial photography of the house through to the close date. We would absolutely recommend her to both buyers and sellers ”

“On our first day looking at homes, Joyce gave us a bag of snacks and an itinerary, with one more house added last minute that just had its first open house that day. This home ended up being our dream home, and she helped us from being complete novices to bidding and winning the home by the next week, ultimately for below appraisal in a very desirable area. She helped us all along the way with everything. ”

“Nothing but amazing things to say about Joyce. She is thoughtful, patient, honest, credible, and diligent. My husband and I moved from Brooklyn and purchased our home in December 2021. We would have never been able to successfully navigate this process without her. From the initial search to the contentious bidding process to actually moving in, Joyce was with us every step of the way. We ended up needing to close on Christmas Eve. Not only was Joyce able to make that happen, BUT when we arrived Joyce was at our house and shoveling the snow off our driveway. Most importantly, we felt like she was on our team. She spent time understanding not only what we wanted in a new home but also a new community. We would recommend her without any reservations. ”

“Joyce was a delight to work with. She took the time to develop a relationship with a potential client well before there was any immediate need to sell the house. In our case, it was about a year from the time we entered into contact with her until we actually put the house on the market. She would visit us periodically to give us updates on the market and share her thoughts about timing and things that needed to be done to enhance the marketability of our home. This was even before she was hired. Her style was low pressure and consultative--something that we appreciated. Once she was hired, she developed a extensive strategy for putting the house on the market and getting the information out to potential buyers. She worked with us to set up a timeline for when we needed to get things completed in order to have the house on the market by our expected timeframe. She helped us get the necessary approvals and paperwork from the boro, she suggested companies to do a pre-inspection of the house which proved to be very useful, and she suggested and coordinated with the stagers. By the time the house was put on the market, we had already moved to another state. Joyce was in regular contact with us providing us with updates on the marketing strategy, the level of interest in the house and suggesting strategies when dealing with buyers. Since we had already moved to another state , Joyce helped to keep the property and the house in good condition, including regular feedings of the goldfish in our backyard pond! Once we had an offer, Joyce worked with our lawyer to make sure that things continued to progress on a timely basis. During all this time, Joyce's ebullient personality minimized the stress involved in selling our home. ”

“Her attention to detail and knowledge of the industry is incredible. ”

“This was mine and my husband’s first time buying a home and Joyce was wonderful to work with. She made our process as smooth as possible and communicated with us constantly to ensure there were no issues. ”

“Joyce is the ultimate no-nonsense sales professional who also is a good human being. ”

“Joyce’s sales expertise, passion and work ethic were unmatched in her role in Wall Street sales. She is a consummate professional and a genuinely wonderful person. ”
