Joe Wathen, RE/MAX Advantage Realty - Ellicott City, Maryland

I first met Joe almost 30 years ago when he helped me sell my previous home and purchase the one I am now leaving. I was pleased to see that he was still in business.

Joe is very knowledgeable about the area, both on the buying and selling sides. He is always available to his clients and is both proactive as well as responsive. He helped me to find a property that checked all of the bullets on my "wish list" and provided great guidance when negotiating my offer, which came in under the listed price.

On the selling side, he provided great suggestions about what to do to get the house on the market--some that weren't on my radar but really made a difference in how the property showed. His recommendation for the listing price point was spot-on, and his strategy for getting the best price led to a quick sale at only $1500 less than the original listing price. He supported me and advocated for me throughout the period between offer and settlement.

I highly recommend him to anyone looking to either sell a home and/or navigate a purchase.

Joe was absolutely fantastic! Very knowledgeable about real estate investing as well as overall home construction and true values. He pointed out noteworthy things that made the biggest difference and impact when it came to making our final decision. Joe made the process so effortless my fiancé and I had very little stress during this home buying experience. We did not get the first house we bid for and Joe quickly provided emotional support, as we were devastated, reminding us that if it was for us it would be. Boy was he right! Within a few days we found another home that better suited our needs, is absolutely gorgeous and we are elated we trusted him and didn’t get our other choice. We are so happy and grateful for Joe and highly recommend him for any new home buyer! Thank you so much Joe, we are forever thankful for you!

Joe is a great realtor who knows all about the local market. He’s worked with our family for years and we would only use him. He is honest, listens to your needs and his willingness to help goes above and beyond ‘working hours’. When we first saw our dream home he did everything he could to make it happen. To obtain the house without being the highest bidder is pretty incredible. Two months after, we still call him for home advise and he’s always happy to help. Thank you Joe!

As a contractor I've worked with Joe for years and can attest to his honesty, integrity and indefatigable work ethic. He was our first choice to sell our house in a tough market. He came through with flying colors netting multiple offers for well over asking price and a quick non contingent settlement. If you want to maximize your return on investment, give Joe a call, he won't let you down.

Joe made me feel confident and hopeful during the entire home search process. He was patient, caring, knowledgeable and most of all very accommodating of my needs as a buyer. I have had other agents before Joe but he ranks at the top for me. He made himself available whether it was showing homes or communication. He really listened to my preferences and never pushed me to buy a home that wasn't right for me. He looked at the home as if he was buying it and noticed things I didn't even see because he cares about his clients. I would highly recommend Joe as he went above and beyond my expectations.

Joe is not your average Realtor. He's so much more than that. He actually cares. Joe helped us when we moved my parents from Florida to Maryland. It was a very difficult time for us and we had to move fast. Joe did everything he could and went way above and beyond to find a home for them during the pandemic when buying a house was a nightmare. Joe's patience, good nature, tenacity and true talent secured the perfect home for my parents. I can't express how much I appreciate Joe and highly recommend him. Thank you Joe!!!

When it came time to sell my parent's house and move them into an apartment, I reached out to Joe for assistance. Right from the start of looking for an independent living facility, screening moving companies and finally clearing out the house, Joe was right there assisting my parents and I. He took the time to meet with my parents explaining all of their options for listing it. Finally after receiving multiple offers for the house, Joe helped my parents chose the best one that was right for them. They are very happy with the results of his efforts.
