Working with Joy Labadie was such a great experience, especially considering how complicated our situation was. We were buying a new home while selling our current one at the same time, right in the middle of one of the harshest Northern Michigan winters on record—so things definitely weren’t simple. Through it all, Joy was incredibly responsive and knowledgeable. No matter what questions we had (and we had plenty), she got back to us quickly and always had clear, helpful answers. What really stood out was her attention to detail and her solution-first mindset. Whenever something came up—and in a transaction like this, things always do—she stayed calm, focused, and proactive in finding the best way forward. She made what could have been a really stressful process feel much more manageable, and we always felt like we were in good hands. We’re so grateful for all her hard work and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Jerry Franks and Nancy Pentiuk

My recent Birchwood Farms purchasing transaction with Joy was seamless!! She was very professional and provided a lot of market knowledge while I was looking for a home in the community--so helpful and appreciated having never lived in northern Michigan specifically Harbor Springs. Joy was in attendance during my inspection as I was unable to be present during that very important process. She even offered personal support, stepping in to help with a furniture delivery nightmare in the bitter cold. Additionally, she provided me a long list of contacts for decorating, remodeling, landscaping etc. Thanks to Joy I was able to obtain my perfect Harbor Springs with zero stress!! I highly recommend Joy!!

Let it be known that Joy Labadie took a very difficult sale situation and made it happen for us. Her personal and professional expertise was instrumental throughout the entire process. We can't thank her enough. Berkshire Hathaway has a true gem on their staff. Thank you again Joy.

Joy was excellent to work with and was very knowledgeable. She helped us navigate a tough market and stuck with us until we found the right home. She is very professional and we would highly recommend Joy to anyone!

Most recently, we sold our home in Harbor Springs and were extremely fortunate to have had Joy Labadie as our realtor. We have moved 7 times in the last 10 years, and Joy was unquestionably the best agent we have worked with. She is a total pro -- knowledgeable about the market, timing and pricing. She was also responsive, available 24-7, and provided informed counsel and guidance. We felt we were in good hands during the entire process, as her confidence and savvy led to a speedy sale at our target price in a tricky market (less than two weeks). Plus, she was a "joy" to work with! You could not go wrong with Joy Labadie!
