Joan McKibben, Sales Representative & an Accredited Home Staging Professional with Re/Max Twin City Realty Inc.  A great house, great staging & a great price will always be a win-win combination that gets homes sold.  I'm available to my clients 24/7, whether it’s on the phone, e-mail or in person.  I value the space where people choose to live their lives and spend their time.  Helping clients purchase the perfect home provides great satisfaction.

I am a member of The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), a member of the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA) and the Kitchener-Waterloo Real Estate Board. All of these associations uphold a strict code of ethics.  I have been associated with RE/MAX since 2004 and have also been staging homes since April 2005. 

I've also been involved with new construction/home sales since 2002 - Decora Homes, Eastforest Homes and Deerfield Homes.

I like to make my clients feel at ease when talking about their real estate needs and limitations.  I believe that by establishing an open line of communication it allows us to feel comfortable discussing what we expect from each other throughout this process.  These discussions are always beneficial and lead to a successful conclusion of their experience with selling or buying real estate.

I’m not only a Sales Representative when listing your home for sale, I also become your advisor.  I will provide a report showing the most recent sales in your area and together we will review the current market conditions to establish a list price. I also prepare my clients with advice regarding the views and opinions a buyer might have after viewing their home.  My home staging experience comes in handy when it’s time to showcase the most attractive features and benefits of your home, leaving the buyers with a good first impression.  I truly enjoy this aspect of selling real estate. 

When acting as a Buyer Agent, I find my clients value my opinion, as I'll share all the pros and cons.  If ever I say "This is the perfect house for you," my clients know that I mean it because they've heard me say before, "Don't buy this house, it's not the right fit for you – lets keep looking”.  I will always tell my buyers “buy real estate with resale value in mind”, and prior to their purchase, I will make them aware of other similar houses that have sold in the area.

In the end, my clients know that the purchase or sale of a home is their decision and theirs alone. I know that my role is to advise, provide up-to-date information regarding sales in that area, guide and negotiate.
