TESTIMONIALS

Joy assisted us in purchasing our first home. She took the time to explain every step of the process through our home buying journey. She was very knowledgeable of the trends and future outlook of Surf City and the surrounding areas which was extremely helpful as we shopped for homes around the area. Joy made the home buying process as smooth as possible for our family and we can’t thank her enough for all of the work and time she dedicated to us. If you are looking for a personable, caring, and hard working realtor, Joy is it! We highly recommend her and will use her again for any future investment properties.

I was so thankful to find Joy; she is incredible! We were first-time buyers living across the country, never having visited the area before, and Joy walked us through the preapproval process, answered dozens of questions promptly, and walked me through everything up until closing (even accompanying me to my final walk-throughs). She made it easy to plan a trip out, showing us many options in just two days, and she found us an absolutely beautiful (and new!) home that checked off everything on our list and more. She pays attention to what you want, is honest and knowledgeable in terms of what to look for (from the general area to the bones of the house), and she has a great eye for new builds in the Hampstead area. It was so easy to trust her with our home search, and it is wholly thanks to her that we have our gorgeous first home.

Joy helped us buy our home while we were still in another state. She found us a wonderful home that we never could have found without her help. She is very knowledgeable and paid close attention to what we needed and wanted in a home. She also communicated well to us on all details throughout the process, and was very open about any potential concerns. We truly enjoyed working with Joy, and would work with her again in the future!

Joy helped us purchase our home in Surf City while we lived in another state. She is knowledgeable about the area in general as well as each individual community we looked at. We gave her a list of wants and our budget and she showed us exactly what we were looking for which made our quick trip to town for house-hunting extremely productive. She is detail-oriented, reads the fine print, and explains everything to you up front so you can buy with confidence. We closed on our home from out of state and she made that process seamless. Joy has impeccable communication and is a pure pleasure to work with. We look forward to working with Joy again for future investment properties.

Joy was such a pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond to help my family buy a home in Surf City. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the comps in the area, rentability, etc. We were out of state buyers, and Joy went to the houses to do Facetime walkthroughs and she even did our final blue tape walkthrough when we could not attend. Overall, I would highly recommend her.

Joy helped me buy my first home, I can not even begin to count how many times she went out of her way to make sure I had all the information I needed and assisted me through the entire process. I have recommended her to all of my friends and family who have been looking for a home. This is the woman you want in your corner when it comes to buying a home.

We thoroughly enjoyed working with Joy as she made selling our home a stress-free experience. We were planning on selling our home ourselves (as we had three times before) until a neighbor told us how wonderful it was to work with Joy and her colleague Marissa Cartwright (who staged our home). Wow was she right--they are a dynamic duo! Joy walked us through the process and answered all of our many questions in a timely manner. She is sweet and soft-spoken yet masterful as a selling agent. When were eager to accept the first offer (at asking), Joy was there to remind us that it was in our best interest to wait until the end of the weekend. Of course, she was right, and our house sold for over asking. Joy is a pro. If you place your trust in her, she will come through for you.

Joy is a ROCKSTAR! My husband and I were first time home buyers, living on the West Coast, and had zero knowledge about the Hampstead area. Joy instantly made us feel comfortable and calm. I never had any concerns with the information she was providing. She found us our dream home in new construction and always went above and beyond for us when we weren't able to be present. Even after closing she still is doing favors for us before we move in. She came highly recommended to us, and I look forward to recommending her to others. You won't be disappointed!

Joy Birchum is an amazing person and a very important key in buying a home. She was super knowledgeable in the area and was essential in me closing my house. Moving from California over to North Carolina, she was reliable and held people accountable when anything pertaining to the house had arouse. She went above and beyond with the entire process and has the resources to make sure end meet. I cannot thank her enough.

Joy found my house for me and it was just what I was looking for. I was selling my home in Idaho and buying a house here in Hampstead. With her help everything went fine and was able to get the house of my dreams. She can do the same for you.

Helpful, knowledgeable and competent; Joy does an amazing job of taking the stress out of the home-buying process and making it an enjoyable experience. She is easy to reach and incredibly responsive. Her flexibility makes her a perfect choice for anyone with a busy or irregular schedule. She is an absolute must for any military or veteran family in the area looking to buy a first home, or even those who are experienced buyers. As someone who takes an interest in her clients, you will feel more like you are working with a friend than with a realtor. I have no doubt that she will go above and beyond while buying or selling your home, as she did with me.

Joy was an absolute JOY to work with. She made the whole process so easy - we told her where we were looking to buy and what was important to us. She developed an extensive list of potential houses and even built our itinerary for the viewings. It took just one day of searching to find the home we wanted (one that Joy recommended that was not on our radar). Joy expertly negotiated on our behalf with the seller, and we closed shortly thereafter. I cannot recommend Joy enough - she is extremely professional, knows the market well, and treated us like family throughout the whole process.
