Joy was a great help in my home search and I would highly recommend her for you as well.

She was the most responsive agent I have ever worked with and showed me the houses I wanted to see when I wanted to see them. She openly gave me her opinion and advice about areas and homes as a young home buyer. When we found the 4th or 5th home I wanted to offer on in Spring 2021, she took care of the negotiation quickly.

Joy made the process scary easy.

We kept thinking there must be more to do but Joy handled it! She was flexible and gave honest advice at every step. She was assertive and made sure we were treated fairly. If we ever buy another home, we would love to work with Joy again.

I was extremely pleased with working with Joy.

Not only was I buying a home, I was also selling my first home. Buying and or selling a home will probably be one of your largest investments in life so you would want to work with a realtor that has a great deal of experience. Well look no further; Joy and Stephen, in my opinion made the home buying/selling process a breeze. They were very responsive with answering questions and concerns. Any issues that came up were handled and addressed immediately. I was so impressed with Joy that I recommend my son to her. He was in search of his first home and had the pleasure of working with Stephen. We both closed on our homes within a month of one another.

Joy Hughes is an excellent realtor.

My husband and I have been working with Joy for about a year. Within that time, Joy found a beautiful subdivision for us to build our dream home. Once the house was built, Joy helped us sell our other house. She is both professional and brilliant!

zuser20160921183457802

Joy was extremely helpful, always told us what we needed in a timely manner, and we were able to buy a house with no miscommunications or delays.

It was our first home buy, and she made it very easy and clear. We'd always been told buying a house is one of the most stressful thing you can do, but with Joy is was very stress free.

This is our family second purchase experience with Joy Hughes, and just as her name suggest, she is a joy to work with.

She is extremely knowledgeable in real estate purchasing and listings. Her dominant quality is that she cares and listens to needs of her customers. During our first purchase, which was rocky, she visited us at the hotel. Not so much as client but as a concerned person. When it came to selling our first home and buying a second home it was a no brainer. We contacted Joy and she delivered in record time! Under contract in a matter of minutes, yes I said minutes! By the way the first home sold in a day, the suggestion made by Joy were spot on, and she even arranged for professional pictures to be taken. Can you say sold for more than the listing price! How do we feel about Joy Hughes? She is a part of our Family The Jason Family

I was looking for my first home feeling both worried about my prospects for finding something in my budget and about the daunting unfamiliar process.

Working with Joy made all those worries disappear. She took lots of time to explain every step of the process to me, set up a slate of showings in what felt like record time of half a day, and was a strong advocate for me with the seller's agent and closing law firm every step of the way making sure there was no money left on the table in the final agreement. During showings she also would point things out such as possible lawn erosion spots or ceiling issues I might have not thought of as a first time buyer. I am so happy in my new home and Joy was instrumental in helping me find and purchase it. She is local to the Atlanta area and knows the neighborhoods well and how to navigate the market here as it is rapidly changing.

Joy helped my best friend buy her first house, so I'd already met her before and trusted her implicitly.

When I was ready to buy my house, I was doing it alone, and therefore was pretty intimidated by the process. Luckily, because I chose Joy, I was shocked to find that the home-buying process was so incredibly EASY. When we found 'the one', I told her I wanted to put in an offer. She gave me excellent advice and we managed to snatch it out from under another bidder and we went under contract within 24 hours. During the search (which, I'll admit, was very short for me!), she gave me very frank and honest advice about what was and wasn't a good investment. I knew that with her help, I was making the best possible choice for me. She never once pressured me or made me feel stupid or like my questions were an annoyance. She has become a part of my and my friend's extended family and whenever I'm ready to sell my house, I will absolutely be reaching out to Joy again. I recommend her to everyone who's ready to buy or sell!

Joy has helped us buy our first home and sell our first home, and both experiences were amazing!

She is so responsive and makes everything as stress free as possible. We were selling an estate condo during a difficult time, and Joy made it so easy. She is very familiar with the specifics of estate sales. Highly recommend her!

Joy was amazing.

She was helpful every step of the way, quick in her responses to my thousand questions, and so good about helping us through the process. As first time buyers, we easily could have been lost and overwhelmed, but she made the process smooth and easy. She also found us our house before it was on the market! I would recommend her to anyone.

Joy is an outstanding broker.

Joy Hughes is a full service realtor that rolls her sleeves up to get the job done right!

! My husband and I were so impressed by her constant care and attention to all our many questions and concerns. She attentively listened to all our requests and delivered on them as well. Every time I called her, she would immediately answer or call me right back. I was relocated for a new job in a different state and she took care of our home like family would. She watered our plants, checked on the house, took the trash out and even helped clean up after the final move out. Words cannot express how grateful we are to have met Joy and had her list our first home for sale. She is one incredible lady!

As a first time homebuyer, I was nervous about the process because you can hear so many horror stories.

Well, my experience was FAR from that. This team was heaven sent and everything went so smoothly. Anytime I wanted to see a random property, they were there. All my questions, answered, even if it was the same one —over and over. Complete kindness, expertise, and desire to make my dream of becoming a homeowner REAL. I’m so pleased to have found you and I’m in love with my home. Thanks for everything!

Very responsive and flexible - knows her way around the entire region - very good at representing our needs with the sellers.

Always available and works well with the title and settlement agent.

eferg911

When we originally started our home search, we were new to the state, so we wanted to look at homes in several areas.

Also, I was working in GA, but traveling back to TN each weekend. It was difficult to find the time to see homes, but when we wanted to see something, Joy made it happen, typically we gave her little notice, and honestly did not expect her to be available, but she made us a priority! I would highly recommend Joy to anyone looking for a home here in GA! Thank you Joy!

Joy did an amazing job helping us with our home buying experience!

From our very first discussions on our home-buying goals to signing our closing documents, we always felt that we had someone in our corner. Joy was responsive, attentive, caring, and a pleasure to work with. My wife and I would highly recommend anyone to work with her for buying a new home.

Joy was very informative and super helpful throughout the entire process.

She was super knowledgeable and gave us helpful pointers, reminders and great references for mortgage loan officers. Great with first time home buyers.

Really knew what we were looking for, helpful getting info on anything we needed, and took care of any roadblocks or issues before they even popped up. She was instrumental in helping our home buying process go smoothly and we wouldn't have done as well as we did without her!

Joy was great to work with, she listened to our needs and wants, gave us access to many homes to look at, and got us a great price for our home and gave us potential alternatives in the neighborhood we were looking at.

My family is very happy with our new home, and Joy was a huge part in that.

Joy and Stephen were great agents to work with!

We are a young family and first time home owners. Joy and Stephen helped us in every step of the way. They were both very knowledgeable and understood what we wanted (and needed). Their honest opinions based on experience and insight were also invaluable to helping us select a good home. We had a tough time finding a home in our price range due to market popularity of that range. Joy was exceptional in the negotiation process. It should be noted that our deal was accepted over a cash offer because of Joy with no other expense to us. Both were very helpful in relaxing us from the stress of the process yet being realistic about it all as well. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would trust Joy and Stephen in helping us find a home again.

I was a first-time home buyer in probably the worst housing market in history.

It was a terrible and harrowing experience and the ONLY thing that kept me sane was getting to work with Joy! Joy is incredible, I have never known anyone to be so responsive, hard-working, and thorough. She told me all the pitfalls to look out for, knew everything about where to look and what to look for, walked me through every step of the process, and always responded in near real time. She had infinite patience, a seemingly bottomless well of knowledge, and to top it all off she is just a wonderful human being. I am SO thankful to Joy and her husband for being wonderful people. I literally cannot imagine a better agent to work with (and I went through plenty of terrible agents before lucking out with her!) and I 100% recommend her from the bottom of my heart. She is a true professional and a phenomenal person. Hiring Joy will be the best decision of your life.

tiffany spivey0

Without giving too many details let's just say that for any number of reasons my sale was not an easy one.

Joy went above and beyond to help me get the home prepared, on the market and sold. I can't give her enough praise or thanks. I would highly recommend Joy Hughes and would hire her again without hesitation.

We highly recommend Joy and Stephen Hughes as a realtor team!

They will dedicate their time and expertise to making sure you find just the right home, in the right area that fits your families needs. Joy has thorough knowledge of several areas/counties surrounding Atlanta which was extremely valuable to helping us make our final selection. We ended up in an area that we had originally not even thought of until Joy recommended we check it out and we feel in love with the area! It was prefect! The Hughes’ put together a list of homes for sale, in the areas we were interested in, based on our list of “must haves“ and “would like to have“ in an home. We used the BHHS app to pick our list of houses we wanted to tour- app was very easy to use and reference your lists. We were able to narrow the selection down and helped to further pinpoint the area to live.

I was able to find a home to buy and purchase in decent timing.

Professional help made searching easier. I was given updates on homes fast. Was able to get exactly what I wanted.

Joy is very professional.

She considers your needs and works wholeheartedly to help you to achieve your dreams. She readily provided relevant and credible information about the property I was buying. This helped me to select the most appropriate place to call home. Thank you Joy.

First time homebuyer.

Joy and Stephen were great at making the mind boggling minutiae manageable and keeping us sane through the bumpier parts of the process

zuser20180611054711968

I was a first time home buyer in 2012 and Joy took the time explaining every step of the process.

I was so impressed by her ability to filter out (usually by visual inspection) the great properties from the not so great properties. Only by her experience, I got the full education in types of siding (which products had re-calls), types of plumbing (polyethylene pipes), and my home has grown in value in three short years by over 20%. I plan on purchasing a couple of investment properties in the future and will count on her to bring the value of her experiences to save me time and money.
