"Joanie is our go to realtor. If we know someone who needs one, she is who we refer. We have bought and sold homes with Joanie and key elements such as communication and completion come easy for Joanie. You can trust her for every step of the way. She is the best!?
Review submitted by Stephen Knuth (Seller)

Absolute pleasure to work with! We cannot recommend Joanie enough. Joanie's commitment to us during the sale of two of our homes and helping us build our dream home was amazing. Joanie always made herself available to us and made us feel as if we were her only clients. If you are looking for an intelligent, knowledgeable, polite, friendly, and funny realtor, look no further.
Review submitted by Anthony and Jennifer Hodges (Seller)

Joanie made sure all aspects of the sale (and purchase of it 3 years earlier) of our lovely ocean front condo was in order, timely, and of the most professional nature. Joanie and her team worked details at all hours and went above and beyond to make the transaction fantastic. Wow!
Review submitted by Lori Day (Seller)

Great!!! The standard by which real estate professionals could be judged. This is not the first property sale or purchase we have done through Joanie… there is a reason. She is hands down the best real estate professional we have ever dealt with. Her strategy, planning and communication is all excellent!!! Also, we rely on her tremendous local knowledge and execution of the actions that were agreed upon.

Review submitted by Skip Borghese (Seller)

"I don't even know where to begin to describe the awesome experience we had with Joanie Heighes of Watson Realty! She was eager to help us find our dream home, and though it took us a while she was patient and reassuring that she would continue to search for us and with us until we knew we had the perfect place. She supported our every decision and lended her professional advise. We would encourage anyone to call Joanie if selling or buying is in your future."

We were relocating from Ohio to Florida to be close to our children. Joanie was recommended by our son and daughter in law. She always answered my questions and would provide info on areas. She knew her business and was a great person to follow up on my questions. Felt like I was working with a close friend😊

"Highly professional and hard-working. I have used Joanie's services twice within the last 4 years. Joanie went above and beyond utilizing her long-standing networking relationships with local builders and financial institutions to "save the day" for my 2-21-19 closing date. Once I realized that my closing date was in jeopardy I contacted Joanie who temporarily dropped what she was doing to bail me out. At risk was a cascading set of dependencies that saved me more than $ 1,500 from having to reschedule. Highly recommended!!!"

EXCELLENT!!!! Mrs. Joanie was such a blessing to work with, she was always right on top of everything and her communication skills are top tier. Her assistant and herself made such the whole process such a breeze and i look forward to working with them in the near future.
Review submitted by Austin MacDonald (Seller) Review submitted by Alex Madsen (Buyer)

"Joanie was very knowledgeable and was able to collect multiple offers for us above the listing price for our properties. We had complex transactions (selling 4 properties out of an estate) and she masterfully guided us through the process. She was very personable and compassionate with us, as we were navigating some unchartered waters. I would highly recommend Joanie and I was amazed at what she was able to do and the connections she had available to help us such as: repairs and legal matters. She is so much more than a realtor, we consider her friend and feels like family! I just can't say enough, she will NOT disappoint you."

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, 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.
