Joseph Wathen - Testimonials

Tell Us Your Story

Joe was absolutely fantastic!

Very knowledgeable about real estate investing as well as overall home construction and true values. He pointed out noteworthy things that made the biggest difference and impact when it came to making our final decision. Joe made the process so effortless my fiancé and I had very little stress during this home buying experience. We did not get the first house we bid for and Joe quickly provided emotional support, as we were devastated, reminding us that if it was for us it would be. Boy was he right! Within a few days we found another home that better suited our needs, is absolutely gorgeous and we are elated we trusted him and didn’t get our other choice. We are so happy and grateful for Joe and highly recommend him for any new home buyer! Thank you so much Joe, we are forever thankful for you!

Joe is a great realtor who knows all about the local market.

He’s worked with our family for years and we would only use him. He is honest, listens to your needs and his willingness to help goes above and beyond ‘working hours’. When we first saw our dream home he did everything he could to make it happen. To obtain the house without being the highest bidder is pretty incredible. Two months after, we still call him for home advise and he’s always happy to help. Thank you Joe!

I first met Joe almost 30 years ago when he helped me sell my previous home and purchase the one I am now leaving.

I was pleased to see that he was still in business. Joe is very knowledgeable about the area, both on the buying and selling sides. He is always available to his clients and is both proactive as well as responsive. He helped me to find a property that checked all of the bullets on my "wish list" and provided great guidance when negotiating my offer, which came in under the listed price. On the selling side, he provided great suggestions about what to do to get the house on the market--some that weren't on my radar but really made a difference in how the property showed. His recommendation for the listing price point was spot-on, and his strategy for getting the best price led to a quick sale at only $1500 less than the original listing price. He supported me and advocated for me throughout the period between offer and settlement. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to either sell a home and/or navigate a purchase. Gail M

Joe is a hard working realtor and a great friend, when he sold our house he actually went to Home Depot for us to get the light fixtures for the contractor to install because my husband and I were both at work.

Greatly appreciated his hard work and especially appreciate the friendship we share still.

Joe is not your average Realtor.

He's so much more than that. He actually cares. Joe helped us when we moved my parents from Florida to Maryland. It was a very difficult time for us and we had to move fast. Joe did everything he could and went way above and beyond to find a home for them during the pandemic when buying a house was a nightmare. Joe's patience, good nature, tenacity and true talent secured the perfect home for my parents. I can't express how much I appreciate Joe and highly recommend him. Thank you Joe!!!

My siblings and I had to find a house ASAP for my parents.

They were moving back to Maryland from Florida and of course their home sold quickly. Taking in all of my father's requests, which were many, Joe helped us find a nearly perfect home for them. He also did an outstanding job helping to set up everything required to coordinate and close. He went above and beyond! My parents also received referrals for things they wanted done to set the house up for their octogeneric needs. Yes, I just made up a word!

Maria Morucci

Joe made me feel confident and hopeful during the entire home search process.

He was patient, caring, knowledgeable and most of all very accommodating of my needs as a buyer. I have had other agents before Joe but he ranks at the top for me. He made himself available whether it was showing homes or communication. He really listened to my preferences and never pushed me to buy a home that wasn't right for me. He looked at the home as if he was buying it and noticed things I didn't even see because he cares about his clients. I would highly recommend Joe as he went above and beyond my expectations.

Joe is a super star of realtors!

He keeps me updated on the sale of houses in my neighborhood. He visits me to look at my home to suggest what I can do to make it more attractive to a buyer. I appreciate his honesty and when I am ready to sell my house, I will cal him! Since our mom spoke so highly of Joe, we asked him to list her home after she passed away. He was able to give us guidance and expert real time advice on what to do to get the most money for it with the least amount of headaches since we were living out of state. Thanks a million Joe.

When it came time to sell my parent's house and move them into an apartment, I reached out to Joe for assistance.

Right from the start of looking for an independent living facility, screening moving companies and finally clearing out the house, Joe was right there assisting my parents and I. He took the time to meet with my parents explaining all of their options for listing it. Finally after receiving multiple offers for the house, Joe helped my parents chose the best one that was right for them. They are very happy with the results of his efforts.

I know Joe for over twenty years.

In 2004 he helped me buy a townhouse, rented a condo for eight years, and recently helped me sell it. He went above and beyond with helping me understand the process. He got me the best price!

We've bought and sold numerous houses with Joe over the years. He's our trusted advisor for MD Real Estate. His attention to detail, experience and enthusiasm always makes the process simple and leads to a quick and painless sale. Thanks again Joe for selling our place in record time and getting us to the warmth of FL quicker than we imagined was possible.

Dear Joe, I wanted to take this time to thank you for all your help in selling my home.

You made the process very easy for me and your guidance was greatly appreciated. If anyone needs a great realtor with patience and great expertise, call Joe. Thank you Denise DiMauro

Denise DiMauro

As a contractor I've worked with Joe for years and can attest to his honesty, integrity and indefatigable work ethic.

He was our first choice to sell our house in a tough market. He came through with flying colors netting multiple offers for well over asking price and a quick non contingent settlement. If you want to maximize your return on investment, give Joe a call, he won't let you down.

He’s not just a realtor; he’s a dream realizer in the world of real estate. Trust Joe to guide you to your perfect place, just as he did for us - he knows his stuff well.

Joe is a wonderful realtor and goes above and beyond for his clients!

He is extremely communicative, honest, and easy to work with. Before working with Joe, my general impression of realtors was that they were gregariously deceptive and may work against rather than with your interests. However, Joe thankfully broke that impression of mine within our very first meeting! He is extremely considerate of the client's thoughts, feelings, and opinions. He’s so great that I recommended him to my parents, who also loved working with him. I highly recommend going with Joe. If you have any doubts, just set up a first meeting, and I’m pretty sure you will feel reassured afterwards.

"Joe has helped me both buy and sell a home as well as continuing to make quality decisions in maintaining my current home . Additionally, when I moved my mother here from another state, he understood her needs and directed her to a ground level condo right near shopping. He also helped arrange service people for her beyond the sale to make sure all was well with her. I would recommend Joe Wathen's work ethic and commitment to the satisfaction of his clients."

"We have known Joe for years. He is a hardworking professional that is always working for you. He sold our house last year and I have referred him to neighbors and friends. If you are looking for a realtor he is your man. He has sold many homes in Bowling Brook Farms, which is where we lived for 30 years. Joe also got us InTouch with a realtor in Richmond to buy a house here."
