Joanne was a delight to worth with, always listening to what was on the wish list, and also what had to be done. Never pressured, and was determined as I was to find just the right place.
Bev Colvin
Joanne helped us through a very unusual market. She is experienced and knowledgeable and proved to have great people skills; she listens and was always very responsive and communicative throughout our listing. She never hesitated to "hop in the fray" and get us the information and provide the advice we needed to make our decisions. She also helped us buy, was always reassuring that we would find what we wanted-and we did- and followed us with us to ensure everything was as it should be. Thank you Joanne, we were glad to have such an excellent realtor.

From the first time we spoke to the completion of the successful sale of our home, Joanne was exceptional. She was prompt, courteous, assertive & steadfast in her approach to our sales cycle. Her skill set included excellent marketing, pricing discussions, staging recommendations and raising the profile of our property which in the end had multiple offer and sold in 7 days. I would recommend Joanne to anyone looking to have a value added realtor to market and sell their home to a successful completion. In the end I have bought & sold 6 homes since 2006, Joanne Bonetti personifies excellence in sales & marketing capabilities for home sales.

Joanne did an amazing job and was extremely patient with me. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to sell or buy real estate in the Fraser Valley.
This was my second time using her as an agent and I would use her again in the future.

I wound up doing 3 separate transactions with Joanne. I found her to be very professional, & knowledgeable. I definitely needed someone that could provide answers & help with the trend of the market at that time. She was able to assist with every transaction & responded to my needs & inquiries as continuously required in a timely manner. I would like to recommend Joanne as one of the best agents I have ever delt with. Thank you so much Joanne.

Joanne was wonderful to work with, and she kept my needs and requests in mind. She was always advising me of new listings and arranged viewings. Her advice on the buying process was honest and always welcomed by me. I would highly recommend Joanne to any friends or acquaintances.
Bev Atchison
Joanne has been extremely professional and efficient in helping my brother sell his townhouse. She sold his place quickly and for a very good price. She was kind, compassionate and definitely went above the call of duty in dealing with a very complex and difficult situation. She also managed to find him a new ome that was perfect for him and his companion. I would definitely recommend Joanne to anyone who is looking to sell or purchase a home.
Anders
I have used the services of Joanne Bonetti in both purchasing a home in Langley and in selling the same home when I moved back to Alberta six years later. I found Joanne to be most helpful, prompt and very knowledgeable about what is available in Langley and about the market conditions. Joanne was very adept at understanding my needs, and as I was purchasing from a different province, Joanne did the leg work required to preview houses, greatly lessening the requirement for me to fly out and filter them myself. She found me a lovely townhouse in a very well run complex in Murrayville, which I very much enjoyed living in for several years. When it came time for me to return to Alberta, Joanne kept me very informed about the very brisk market in Langley, and was able to find me a buyer very quickly. Joanne has a solid knowledge of market conditions and is able to guide her clients through the process of buying and selling with professionalism and understanding. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy or sell in Langley."

Sylvia & Mike White
There should be more stars for Joanne. She kept in touch and searched relentlessly for the home we wanted and needed. Extremely professional and personal. A delight to work with. We are now in the process of moving and every detail is covered by Joanne so no worries there. We would most certainly recommend her.
Sylvia & Mike White
When the time came to downsize our family home, I knew we needed an area specialist. The diversity of the Langley's and today's highly competitive market calls for a real estate specialist who can handle the fast pace and intensity that goes along with that. Hiring Joanne Bonetti was the easiest decision to make. Joanne handled all of our enquiries with quick replies and professionalism. Her knowledge of properties in our neighbourhood and surrounding areas is exceptional and she really has her finger on the pulse of this market. Although it was a big move for our family, her assistance in the selling of our home was seamless and made the transition so much smoother for us. We can't thank Joanne enough for all her hard work and dedication as our realtor. I recommend her highly.
Susan G.
It was such a pleasure having Larry assist us with buying a house. He was a low key, reassuring presence and we appreciated his relaxed, calm personality in what could have been a nerve racking experience. He checked the plumbing, electrical and the technical things, leaving us free to spend time to take in other things. Thank you Larry!
Wendy Chassels Lloyd
Joanne made my selling and buying transactions stress free, guiding me through the process, always pleasant and responding right away. She handled a difficult situation like the pro she is. I cannot say enough good about her! Thank you Joanne!

I'm extremely grateful to have found Stacey Hayes @ Greyfriars Realty to represent me in my real estate needs. Stacey's knowledge & understanding of the Fraser Valley market & expertise in the Brookswood area was crucial in this fast paced & unprecedented market. She was efficient, diligent & quick to respond to my specific needs and questions. She took extra time to walk me through every step from listing to negotiating in my best interest. I would highly recommend Stacey Hayes to represent them in their real estate journey.

Joanne made the selling of our home and purchase of anew home simple and worry free. She handled all the details and worked with us closely to ensure were aware of all our options and most importantly kept our stress levels to a minimum with her professionalism. I would recommend her and her team to anyone buying or selling.
Chris & Carol Miller
We used Joanne to handle the sale of my father's home. My Dad is aging and Joanne was very supportive in our needs to have Dad settled first (actually insisted it was the way to go) and to make sure he was in a good place prior to putting his home up for sale. She was never pushy or aggressive in getting the house ready for sale and repeatedly told us to just make sure everything was good on our end. We found her to be professional and respectful of our needs. We are very happy with Joanne and her team and would not hesitate to use her services again.
Jim Szili
Joanne worked very hard trying to find us a suitable home that met our needs for the future....and it wasn't an easy task. The listing she found is perfect....we were able to downsize to a townhouse that still had the "detached house" ambience...complete with a private backyard and garden (but without the maintenance). She also gave us suggestions on what we needed to do to improve the curb appeal of our previous house so that we were able to sell it in a short period of time. I would certainly use her services again should I ever decide to move in the future
Pam Mihic
My wife and I have been associated with Joanne and her firm for over 8 years. We rely on her for up-to-date information. She is reliable, courteous and businesslike in every way. She is top of the list when it comes to Realtors.
Ted Campbell
Joanne is a professional realtor who delivers. Her vast experience, calm demeanor and detailed approach made all the difference in selling our home. Highest recommendation!
Mark Bossert
Joanne went above & beyond to sell this property for us. We live in Winnipeg & needed to sell this property. Because of the current COVID-19 crisis we did not want to come to BC. Joanne looked after having the condo cleaned & staged. We accepted an offer above the asking price within a few days of listing. We are very grateful for her professionalism & knowledge of the Langley market.
Judy & Peter Pshednovak
Joanne did an outstanding job selling our property. Our property was unique and the buyers base small. During a pandemic there were additional processes that Joanne handled professionally while keeping us included along all these additional hurtles. Emails and phone calls were welcomed and we were very satisfied with her efforts.
Kevin and April Lunn
We are very satisfied with the advise and support we received from Joanne. We found her to be very knowledgeable and provided us with very sound advice. We would recommend her to all of our friends

Jesse Saunders
I first met Joanne ten years ago when she sold my daughter a condo. I found her very pleasant to deal with. She has kept in touch over the years. When it came time to sell my daughter's condo and my house, I called her because I had full confidence in her professional ability. She has been very helpful and willing to give extra attention to the details. She was always quick to respond to questions. It was a pleasure dealing with Joanne.
Louise Goode
Joanne was a pleasure to work with for selling my home. She provided me with updates on the Real Estate markets and was always professional when we met. I would definitely recommend her to my family and friends Debbie Steinwandt
Joanne was great to deal with- very patient with me as I've not been in the selling or buying market for a number of years. Both my new purchase and the sale of my home went smoothly and very quickly. Joanne was always quick to respond or follow up and was always professional and a pleasure to deal with. Thanks for a job well done!
Marj Paonessa
Joanne was professional and I was pleasantly surprised the place sold as quickly as it did considering winter time. A couple unforeseen potholes arose but Joanne addressed them and quickly got things back on track

Joanne was great. She is experienced and knows the area and the market well. She listened to us and provided us with the realistic information we needed in order to make good decisions together. She communicated regularly with all parties involved throughout the process in order to make sure we were all informed and up to date. In the end we were very happy with the price we got and how the sale went. Thanks Joanne
Joanne is efficient and knowledgeable, always letting me know what the next steps were and keeping me in the loop. She set me at ease when I was feeling stressed about the process. She is always available to answer questions and response time is quick. She always sent me listings that I might be interested in and I was able to find a suitable new home for myself.

I would highly recommend Joanne as a realtor. She is professional, offers expert advice, is very knowledgeable about the Langley area and helped us sell our property in 5 WEEKS. What I loved most about Joanne is her interpersonal communication skills- she always kept us in the loop, was easy to talk to and went above and beyond to follow up. A pleasure to work with this realtor.
Debbie Peterson
Thank you Joanne so much for finding my home.l just love it here and close to everything you did a wonderful job.
Irene
Jeff, it is with great fondness that we recall meeting you in our first home and quickly conducting business on that sale in the late ‘80’ at nearly full asking price. I was most impressed with the professionalism of your business partner on how she calmly double stroked out the 1st price offer and wrote in a higher price, which our house then sold for, despite the shenanigans of another agent. It is especially nice to reconnect again through your daughter Joanne. Thank You Again Jeff & Warmest of Regards
P. and C. Benwick
Joanne knows the market and gets the job done! Thanks for selling our home.

We recently used Joanne Bonetti on the sale of our family home. We are so thankful for her and Tina in the Greyfriars office. The words I would use to describe my experience with Joanne and the office are: trust, respect, support, service, hard work and dedication. These ladies supported my family in our big move and we can not be more grateful, I would recommend Greyfriars to family and friends. Thank you again Joanne!
It was a pleasure working with Joanne. She is very dedicated and conscientious. She took the time to explain the entire process right from
the beginning and responded quickly to our questions and concerns. Even though we were unsure of our plans for quite awhile, she patiently kept
us informed for several years via phone and email as to opportunities that arose in our preferred market. We were also kept updated about what was selling in our own complex which ultimately gave us an accurate picture of our selling price. This proved to be very reflective of what was current in today's market. Should the opportunity arise, we would have no concerns whatsoever in recommending her to our circle of friends.
We wish Joanne and Greyfriars continued success!

My Father and I gave Joanne a call on a Townhouse in Murrayville, right away she said I have another one I want to show you, giving us an (option) if the one we called about wasn't what we wanted as my Father stated to her that my son was wanting to get into that complex. Well it turned out that the one we called about was the perfect fit. In a Benchmark month of realty sales where people were being outbid like crazy, I was worried that we were going to be a part of that. On the contrary Joanne presented just our offer to the owner avoiding us the stress of being outbid, the owner accepted.When it came time to sell our piece of Land just outside of Murrayville we gave the Listing to Greyfriars Realty. and to say the least Joanne was met with many challenges to just get our Property Listed. I put many obstacles up for her to get around and she came through with flying colors. She not only met all the criteria set out she did it with a smile, she put even a bigger smile on our faces by getting us the most of anybody in the area for our Property just before the market started to level off. She delivered beyond our expectations, she is an amazing realtor with a good grasp of the Langley area. We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Joanne and the Greyfriars amazing Realty Team. We would like to invite anybody that is thinking of Langley as a new home to give Joanne at Greyfriars Realty a call first, trust us you won`t be disappointed.

I have been working with Joanne for at least three years on & off, while I was deciding when to put my townhouse on the market. She has a special kind of personality, very warm, calm, makes you feel comfortable / at ease, something that I very much appreciate. Along with the above qualities, Joanne is always a professional, in her actions & in her appearance, she is always available to talk, answers her phone almost every- time, & as the saying goes ("patience is a virtue") Joanne has an abundance of it.I do & have recommended Joanne to anyone looking for a Realtor & know that she will do her best for them.

Joanne was a fantastic to work with. Her no stress, no fuss attitude made a stressful situation much easier. She is to the point and knows her area of expertise. Always available for questions or concerns, i had a genuine appreciation for this since i ask a lot of question! Thanks again.
Kerry Ogunniyi
After Joanne acquainted me with Langley, I came to want to purchase a unit in a highly sought after complex in Langley. Joanne watched the new listings carefully and when a unit came available, Joanne was swift off the mark for me. Throughout the entire process, I found Joanne to be honest, informative and diligent in ensuring that I found a home I would be happy in for years to come. I would recommend Joanne to anyone, but particularly to “out-of-towners” seeking to find a new home in Langley.

We would like to give a testimonial about Jeff selling our condo in the Langley area. He not only sold our home but found us the exact house we were looking for out in the Chilliwack area. In all instances he was very professional and made sure everything worked out as planned. We would like to recommend him to anybody who is looking for a very good realtor as we will to all our friends.
Derek & Christine Manser
It was a pleasure doing business with you. We finally found a realtor who does what they said they will do and gets it done asap!!
We appreciate all of the clarity we got regarding the contracts and what to expect with the showings. We would use you again in a heartbeat!
Marissa and Antonio
You were amazing! It is our first home and we were terrified. You went over every detail and understood our fears and walked us through them. And, it was great that you encouraged us to bring our parents along on all of the house hunting. It made us feel safe and that we could trust you.
Lillian & Eric
I have dealt with Joanne Bonetti from Greyfriars Realty for a couple of my moves and she is awesome! If you want a Realtor that cares and gives you the best service possible I would highly recommend Joanne. She is very personable, understanding and helpful and she knows the real estate market. With Greyfriars you also have the option of having your own Open House and if you sell during one of them, you save money!! Either way you have a Realtor for life and you can relax and know you are in good hands with Joanne!
Carol Van Straten

Linda Anderson
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all you hard work and everything you have done for me over the past 8-9 months in selling my home and helping me …find the right home for me. Amanda and I appreciate it very much. It was tough for me at times, but you wouldn’t let me give up. You knew my home was out there and we just had to find it. I’m grateful that you wouldn’t let me settle for just anything. I can not express how excited I am about my new forever home. Thank you again and again
Pauline Jackson
Joanne was a great help to me and it felt like I had a personal assistant. I didn’t have to worry about anything, from the moment of the purchase to the possession date, Joanne showed me what needed to get done step by step and arranged for all the contacts involved; including a mortgage broker. A very good one too! It was an absolute breeze and a pleasure dealing with Joanne.
Robert Goedman
We would totally recommend Joanne at Greyfriars! Joanne is very positive, encouraging, friendly and energetic. Upon meeting her, she was more concerned about our bottom line than her own. She was extremely efficient and we appreciated how well she kept in contact with us while we were on vacation. She is prompt at returning phone calls and texts. We were also very fortunate to be able to use Joanne’s flexible fees. We enjoyed the option to host our own open houses, hearing feedback immediately. Stacey who works with Joanne is very wonderful and also very efficient and professional. The service we received was far beyond our expectations. Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication to our family during the sale of our “OLD” place and the purchase of our “NEW”.
Harmony Wilson
In my experience, selling my house using Greyfriars Realty an easy and comfortable process. They are understanding and thorough.
They also estimated my property properly, so consequently I got a better price than I would have if i had used the other realtors that I talked with.
They do everything to make the legalities easy.I totally recommend Greyfriars to take care of business.
Diane Paynter-Andrews
Great service: Returned phone calls immediately, took care of things even if she was out of town. Answered questions promptly and professionally no matter how busy she was. Always friendly, personable and upbeat. Very good negotiator. Always made sure everything was organized and all paperwork was properly completed. Very knowledgeable and aware of her market area. She would identify the best features and include them in the advertising, that were very well written. Greyfriars uses top-of-the-line photography/videography company (Cotala Marketing): We’ve seen many other listings and very few, if any, were presented and had images as well done as ours – it made our listing stand out from the rest.
Lori & Warren Colwell
I had the pleasure of working with Joanne where she first of all needed to represent her client as a buyer, & represent myself as the seller. She conducted this dual role beautifully. She was very considerate & handled unexpected glitches respectfully. She equally gave both her clients the undo attentions required. Because of Joanne’s sensitivity to client’s needs & her high level of professionalism I will not hesitate to seek her service again. It was a pleasure Joanne.
Linda Prince
Thanks for the great job of marketing our home! The photos, feature sheets,
and write-ups were very impressive. You were very professional and we
appreciate how you worked with our situation and kept us well informed. We love your straightforward style and will highly recommend you to friends and family who are looking to buy and/or sell.
Shauneen Lee
“We have dealt with numerous realtors over the years. Dealing with Joanne has been a real pleasure. She is extremely competent and follows up on what she says she will do. Her advertising skills are excellent with colour newspaper ads, colour brochures of our home and of course, internet MLS exposure. When asked to keep us informed of the progress of our listing she was always on top of things. Recommending Joanne to anyone wanting to sell their property would be a pleasure as we found her to be a truly great realtor to deal with. Thanks again Joanne for a job well done!
George and Marlene McCreadie
