Why Work With Us?

Joy Gess was terrific. She helped us find our dream home on the lake, and although we had specific criteria Joy was always positive and patient. As out of state buyers, Joy was knowledgeable and helped us learn and understand VT real estate practices. Joy's business experience allowed her to provide smart strategy and advice for the competitive offer but she also understood our hot buttons and the emotion that goes into a new home search. Joy was always organized, on time and willing to go the extra mile. We trust Joy 100%, and highly recommend Joy Gess and Coldwell Banker Islands Realty.

Joy Gess was our CB Realtor for our search for a retirement home on the lake. She was a terrific person to work with, friendly and a pleasure to get to know. We had specific criteria and were indecisive but she always was patient and open to our suggestions and needs. She always made herself available to our limited "far away from home" time, responded to texts and phone calls immediately and made the buying process easier with her easy to follow punch lists. With her help we ended up buying our dream home!!! Thanks Joy!

Joy Gess helped us sell a house in Shelburne, Vermont and she was fantastic. She was thorough, smart, and did everything with precision and alacrity. Joy is a true professional. We didn't have a single hitch through the process, and the house sold fast and at a good price. Tenants were living in the house as she started to show it, and Joy was excellent about coordinating with them; they found her as pleasant and dependable to work with as I did. She really knows her stuff and I will ask her to help me again on any future house sales.
