I was raised in Naperville and have never forgotten my small town roots and how happy vibrant communities feel as a kid growing up! That is why I moved to the Fox Valley in 1987 with my family and lived in Geneva and now St. Charles. My children all love where they grew-up despite the complaining at the time! We have deep roots in our communities. 1987 to Present -I bought and restored (2) 19th century homes, raised 4 children and sold real estate, I love the Fox Valley for its friendly people, excellent schools and the opportunity to be involved in hundreds of activities. Real estate was always a passion ( its a tired cliche but the only one that applies) so I became a licensed agent in 1989. I was with BW for some of that time up to 1999. I worked hard and had a thriving real estate business! In 1999 I was introduced to a third party relocation position. I have worked in numerous positions ever since then ending in 2016 as an account manager. I have an in-depth knowledge of relocation company culture and processes, HR policies for transferring employees, the home sale processes and a myriad of other subjects in this industry. I retired in 2016 from TRC Global but wasn't ready to just go play.... 2016 - I re-opened my real estate career! After joining a small real estate office for 2 yrs, I am back at Baird Warner and I am thrilled ! The training and support for technology, marketing and sales is unparalleled. I still believe real estate is all about PEOPLE and their DREAMS of owning their own home. The joy is finding just the right home and listening to their stories....I love real estate and it is made sweeter by my daughter, Meg Burns Lietz being in the same office! Full circle, full heart!

Working with Joan was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She was an exceptional partner throughout the entire home-buying process. Professional, knowledgeable, and always one step ahead. Joan truly listened to what we were looking for and helped us find the perfect home. What stood out the most was her constant communication. Joan kept us informed every step of the way, promptly answering all our questions and making sure we always knew what to expect next. Her guidance gave us confidence, and her attention to detail ensured everything went smoothly. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a better realtor. Highly recommend Joan to anyone looking for a trusted, top-notch real estate professional!
Joan Thank you for guiding us thru the tumultuous process of buying a new townhome, and in turn leading the sale of our two flat. You immediately understood us and what we were looking for. You guided us with grace and valued suggestions, while at the same time giving us the time and space to figure out those needs for ourselves. Your experience, knowledge, and assistance are greatly appreciated. And when it came time to sell our 2 flat, you brought in Jim Bechtold, a multi-unit specialist, to help with the pricing and marketing. You two worked so well together. We sincerely thank you for your assistance. Thank you both, Joan and Jim.
