Recently, after 32 years in real estate, several people who purchased their homes with my support years ago, trusted their next move to me again. That trust was built on my experience and integrity which is an honor to earn again!

Buyer Testimonial:
I first met JoAnn Bowers in 1995 when she sold us our home. We kept in touch. When a sudden illness forced me to move with my daughter to another state leaving my house and everything behind I called JoAnn. She stepped up taking care of everything that needed to be done to get the house in shape to be sold. The house sold the first day it was shown! I am very grateful JoAnn is a realtor ready to go above and beyond for her clients.

Seller Testimonial:
JoAnn has handled both ends of our last two home sales & purchases, and we will never consider using any other agent! Her real estate expertise is outweighed only by her kindness in guiding her clients thru the process. She was always happy to show us properties, regardless of the day or time, always willing to answer questions, and always available to help us with the endless logistics involved in a home move. We truly can’t recommend JoAnn highly enough!

JoAnn has been our realtor for several sales both as a buyer and seller and in one instance buying and selling simultaneously. I value her honesty and trustworthiness, and I feel confident that she is the best person to represent us. I know that she has our best interest at heart. In each sale she was spot on about pricing. She makes this arduous and complicated process so much easier with her professionalism, knowledge of all the necessary forms and paperwork, escrow, home inspection, etc. She definitely makes the whole process so smooth and was also the voice of reason when I was having concerns. Without a doubt I would recommend her as a realtor to anyone I know.

We have known JoAnn Bowers for many years. We had another real estate transaction with JoAnn in December 2021. She sold our home with the least amount of issues/challenges. She is very knowledgeable and detail oriented with an excellent level of communication.
It has always been a pleasure working with JoAnn, knowing that things are going to be taken care of and she will always represent her clients with great level of professionalism and care.
We recommend JoAnn to anyone without any hesitation.

Seller Testimonial:
Working with Joann was a pleasure! She was professional and knowledgeable of the North San Diego real estate market which helped us to get top dollar for our Vista home. Joann was available 24/7 to answer all our questions, and we felt like she was a partner through the entire sales and escrow process. When it came time to prep and stage our 30-year-old house, she was able to suggest minimal updates to maximize impact. Joann's team was able to come in and do all the work, making it an easy transaction. This sale took place during the middle of the Covid pandemic which made showings more difficult, but Joann handled all like a champ and brought in the buyers. Joann sold our house at full asking price. We would highly recommend Joann.

Seller Testimonial:
I recently helped my sis & broinlaw sell their house in Oceanside, CA. with Joann Bowers and while this can be a very stressful process, I felt 110% confident by partnering with Joann! She was candid, provided great feedback, helped explain clearly all details and managed the actual sale negotiation brilliantly. In addition, She was extremely responsive to every one of our questions, no matter how small or inconsequential.
I am extremely certain Joann was the right partner to help us navigate thru this process and she would definitely be a great choice for anyone who is going to be selling &/or buying a house in the future!

Seller Testimonial:
My parents bought and sold their various houses in Vista over the years through JoAnn. So when my mother recently died, our family turned to JoAnn. This was an unexpected death, and the house was full of years of accumulated stuff. It needed to be cleaned up, repaired in places and then sold. I do not live locally, so working with JoAnn was a godsend.
She offered suggestions to get the house ready for sale, met the repair people at the house, and inspected their work afterwards. Her contacts with local craftsmen was invaluable. She helped coordinate the estate sale through True Legacy Homes.
Then she advised what was a reasonably optimistic price to list the house. We listed it on a Thursday, and had received several compelling offers within two days. The one we chose offered to close in fourteen days. JoAnn was efficient, precise, and very detailed. If it were not for her organizational skills, we might not have sold the house as quickly for a price we were very pleased with. It closed this morning.
I appreciate very much her straight-forward approach, offering options, explaining advantages and disadvantages, and then following through on the decisions that the family made.
If you need someone to be on your side and help you through the maze of red tape and BS, then JoAnn is the realtor you want in your corner.

Seller Testimonial:
"JoAnn Bowers is the ultimate consummate real estate agent. I have bought and sold several homes, and one thing I look for in an agent, is industry longevity. There are a plethora of agents in the field and I need someone who understands the minutia of the deal. I have worked with JoAnn many times and will continue to choose her as long as she's available. Her professional skills are in great demand, and I certainly understand the reason. She sold my home in less than 3 weeks getting more than I asked".

Seller Testimonial:
JoAnn was the ultimate pro when I engaged her to sell my property. A friend from Cardiff had recommended her and JoAnn started immediately with outstanding suggestions to stage my property. Selling during Covid19 was a real challenge and the extra paperwork was handled immediately and efficiently by JoAnn. I had not sold property for many years and JoAnn's up to date knowledge facilitated all the details. I cannot recommend her more highly!

Seller Testimonial:
I'm from NY so I prefer people who speak directly and tell me what they think. I had spoken to 3-4 realtors before I meet JoAnn, who painted wonderful visions, but that was it.
When JoAnn came to my place for the first time she immediately looked around and pointed out all the things that required attention, some of which I was not aware. I knew then that she was what I wanted/needed.
I had already vacated the home as I had taken a job in another city so JoAnn managed 90% of the upgrades (Carpets, paint, AC repairs, etc.) that facilitated fast and strong offers. All this during the COVID outbreak which complicated matters greatly. She knows the right people and she gets stuff done.
JoAnn also named an asking price which was significantly more than I was thinking, but we had high offers within a few days.
I do not hesitate to recommend JoAnn Bowers without reservation.

Seller Testimonial:
JoAnn had already handled the selling of two prior homes for me, most recently 14 years ago, when I again chose her to sell my home. She was very helpful in identifying essential steps needed in order to get my home ready to put on the market. These included removing certain pieces of furniture, clearing off counters, and decluttering in general. The relatively minor suggestion of adding small river rocks to my succulent garden made my entry way stand out. She helped arrange having my furniture hauled away, and even helped me put together a small bistro table and chairs for the patio. A professional photographer was brought in to take photos for the MLS and promotional materials.
Soon after my home was listed there was an unexpected downturn in the market. She kept me focused on the long term, which was moving into a brand new condo, while diligently following up with all the Realtors who showed my home. After a purchase agreement was at last signed, what was supposed to be a 30 day escrow turned out to be 50 days due to the buyers' prolonged loan processing. Again, throughout this stressful period JoAnn stayed calm, kept me informed, and made sure I remained focused.
I have to think this was not the usual real estate transaction, and I am glad I had JoAnn representing and guiding me.

Seller Testimonial:
JoAnn has been a family friend for many years. She was a true professional in her assistance in both purchasing and selling my home. JoAnn proved that she was able to maintain her composure during the most trying times of selling my home, recently. JoAnn was able to help me through this difficult sale by staying on top of negotiations. The details involved in selling a home can be overwhelming, from initial prepping, to staging, to close of escrow. Joann's advice and expertise resulted in a quick sale at a great price. I've known JoAnn for many years as a friend and have witnessed her involvement in community projects, but this was a new experience working with her professionally. We give her ten stars! She counseled us on pricing and preparing for showings while the house was listed. Once escrow opened, she was in constant contact handling all the details and keeping us informed of the process and procedure. JoAnn understood our expectations and anxieties over the sale of our home, and I can truly say she took charge and made the entire experience a smooth sail from beginning to end. I can't imagine a better real estate transaction with anyone other than JoAnn.

We have worked with JoAnn as our realtor on two occasions over the past 15 years. She is consistently calm, focused, diligent and supportive.
