Testimonials

Working with Rory and Carolyn met and surpassed my expectations of truly professional, diligent, highly trained, caring real estate agents.  They took the time to really know the property, which gave me every confidence that not just my real estate goals were were well understood, but also my comfort level.  They are hands on, regularly providing updates, recommending different and better strategies and always available to answer any questions and options to achieve the best deal and highest price.  Selling my property was much easier (and more enjoyable) thanks to Rory and Carolyn's guidance. -- JJD 

Rory and Carolyn were highly responsive and great to work with. They made critical calls on the preparation of our home and the selling process early on when it really mattered. They put us in the best position to sell our home quickly and successfully. Working with the two of them really brings twice the expertise throughout the process. We wholeheartedly recommend the Tishelman Joy team. -A.L.H.

We had a wonderful experience dealing with Rory Tishelman and Carolyn Joy in both the sale of our house and subsequent purchase of another house. They managed our expectations in determining the sale price of our home and were extremely responsive throughout the entire process. Rory and Carolyn work very well together as they each focus on different aspects of the transaction. We found them both to be very knowledgeable with the area, patient, not at all pushy and really willing to listen to our needs. We will definitely refer them to our friends. - S.H.

We had the most amazing experience with Rory and Carolyn, both with the sale of our condo and purchase of our home. Their expertise, impeccable reputation and just overall calm demeanor made the incredibly stressful process much more manageable. Especially in this competitive market, their advice was paramount in our offer ultimately being accepted on our new home and Rory and Carolyn's teamwork allowed us to sell our condo in 10 days, receiving multiple offers.  They took care of everything! I can't recommend them enough, and we are so grateful for all their hard work. There isn't a better team in the area!
