"Joy was incredible to work with for selling our home. She knew the market intimately and provided excellent guidance for pricing, staging, and more.She was available for any question we had and made the process so simple!

"We recently sold our home using Joy Myrick. Joy was recommended to us by neighbors who had recently used her to sell their home. Joy was professional, very knowledgeable about the current market, a great communicator, proactive and extremely responsive. We always felt Joy had our best interest at heart throughout the process and she maintained an excellent read on the changing market and the multiple buyer offers we received. We would certainly recommend Joy and would not hesitate to use her again." – Richard B.
"Joy made the entire process a joy. She was patient, supportive and experienced. But most importantly, she was a savvy marketer. She brought in a professional stager and a photographer. She priced the house right. We received multiple offers above the listing price. It sold on the first day. What more recommendation do you need?" – Robert R.
"Selling my home from out of state could have been a challenge, but Joy Myrick made the process effortless. Joy was instrumental in advising me on preparing our home for the market. She met with our painter and monitored the progress. She connected us with a talented stager who chose the perfect furniture to showcase the home's best features and she worked with her marketing designers to create digital and print marketing to give our home excellent exposure. Our home was on the market for less than two weeks and we received a great offer. Once we were under contract, Joy guided us through the entire process, including inspection negotiations and we closed with no problems whatsoever. Joy is a true professional and an Intown expert. I highly recommend her to anyone thinking of selling their home in Atlanta." – Hao G.
"After nearly a year of debating whether to put our house on the market, we finally took the plunge and contacted Joy. We are so happy we did. She immediately put us at ease with selling our home with two young kids. She brought in a stager to help us get the house in shape and her photographer took such great photos that we couldn't believe it was our house! She had us under contract in less than two weeks and kept me from numerous panic attacks by explaining everything and always being available and patient." – Lindsey M.
