Joanie is a Survivor
2016 was a year Joanie Heighes, (aka JoanieRealtor) will never forget. Amidst a busy schedule as a Top Producer for Watson Realty Corp, and serving as the President of the Hurricane's chapter of BNI and a Trustee for the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce, she found herself facing a battle against breast cancer.
Not one to slow down, Joanie went through surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation – all while still working full-time and staying engaged with her volunteer activities. Determined and resilient, Joanie shared the news with her family: “I just said sweetie, I’m not going to die, I’m going to be okay, I promise you. But, we’ve got to go through this, and I just want you to know that I’m not going anywhere.”
A true example of her dedication to her clients, Joanie was awarded the Gold Pinnacle Award by Watson Realty Corp. for high volume of closed sales in 2016. Today, Joanie is cancer-free and proud to serve as an ambassador for the Baptist-MD Anderson Cancer Center. She continues to be a major proponent of the healing work they do.
