We were initially searching for a home without the help of a realtor and happened to see a property where Joe was the sellers agent. He told us about his business and that he gives the buyers 50% of his commission at closing--50%!! We decided to work with Joe in pursuit of our dream home. He set up several appointments for us and we found 'the one.' Joe was very patient and always took the time to answer our (my) many questions; he was never pushy. Joe is very prompt in responding to calls and emails and very punctual (always at appointments on time or early). At closing, he literally wrote us a check at the closing table for that 50% of his commission. We have since referred Joe to several of our friends and relatives and, those that have worked with him, have been very pleased as well. We definitely recommend Joe to anyone searching for a home!

Joe Lynn at Grapevine Realty is a superb real estate agent. He helped us with the sale of our home while also helping us purchase a new one. He was attentive to our needs, took time to explain whatever we needed, and always communicated clearly and professionally. I was impressed with his attention to detail in all elements of our interactions. Our trips to see potential homes were well-planned, and his presence during a difficult search was always soothing; he alleviated so much of our stress. We are incredibly thankful to Joe. We received top-dollar offers on our home sale, and successfully negotiated our new home into buying range. With the refund that Joe offers, it made the entire selling/buying transaction significantly less expensive than working with the larger real estate brokerages while losing none of the benefits. All in all, if you want to work with a friendly, no-nonsense agent, call Joe immediately! We will never work with anyone else. Thanks again, Joe!

Joe was beyond a real estate agent. He was a friend, a dad, a home inspector, a marriage counselor, and more. He could have easily "sold" us on numerous houses early on in the process, but he genuinely wanted what was best for my family and me. He was picking out negatives and things to worry about that my wife and I never would have noticed. He knew our "must haves" and wanted to make sure we both got the most important things on our lists. He knew us so when that when we were about half-way through the tour of the house we bought and are living in, he turned to us and said, "guys...I'm getting excited about this one." And man was he right! AND he helped stage our condo so beautifully that we got a few offers almost instantly and accepted a great offer with 48 hours. He was also phenomenally knowledgeable and helpful throughout the offers, negotiations, inspections, contracts, closing and all of the other horribly boring and confusing stages of buying and selling homes.

If that hasn't sold you yet...he will also give you HALF of his commission when you buy a house! It's such an awesome perk at closing when your realtor gives YOU a check!!!

Joe has helped us with multiple offers over the years. He's very patient and make himself available to accommodate our busy schedule. We were looking for the right investment property and finally found the one. There were multiple offers just under one week in the market. We were prepared to pay over asking price but Joe advised us to put in the price escalation clause which save us over $10K. We also received 50% compensation back from Joe at closing. Highly recommended!
