What clients are saying...
Joe Massimino listens to everything and is amazing in finding all of our wants and more in a home and community. Joe makes sure we have all the needed information quickly and the whole process from finding a home to moving in runs smoothly.
Our experience with agent Joe at Shorewest was excellent! He walked us through, and explained, every aspect of the home selling process. We appreciated his time, professionalism, prompt communications, patience, attention to detail, and expertise.
Joe was the ultimate in customer service during the entire preparation and selling process. He was definitely a partner with me in getting things accomplished and crossed off our to-do lists, and in my times of high anxiety he was a super-calming presence. He was so helpful in determining what things I should do to make the house more attractive for sale, and also told me what things I really didn't have to worry about bc the market was so hot (I sold in April 2021). Joe went through the house with me and told me things that I should move out of rooms to make them look bigger and because I followed his advice the house looked FABULOUS and the photos taken were absolutely fantastic. The house sold within 24 hours of the first 3 buyers seeing it and I know most of it was due to all the professional advice and help Joe gave me in prepping the house for the appointments. After the close, it was a delightful surprise to get a Shutterfly memory book gift from him with all of the gorgeous photos pulled together in one perfect tome! Bottom line, I had the BEST experience working with Joe because its obvious he genuinely cares about taking care of you. And doing things that help make it an easier transition for you. I was a customer service professional for 30+ years and I know good customer service - Joe actually goes above and beyond and provides EXCEPTIONAL customer service. I won't hesitate to recomend him to any of my friends and family when the need for a real estate professional is needed.
As usually , nothing but a great experience with Joe and Shorewest. Couldn't asked for a better experience
There are not enough words of praise and gratitude for me to describe my experience of working with Joe Massimino and ShoreWest. Joe has been the driving force behind everything. He was my guide. He was my teacher. He was always very professional, but never lacked a sense of understanding and sincere care. Joe paid attention. He listened, took charge, was prepared, provided explanations and reminders; all done with honesty, kindness, and with patience. And his great sense of humor never fails. The process of selling was smooth and seamless. I am forever grateful for the light that Joe carries and shares, and for all his work and help. Thank you Joe! Thank you ShoreWest.
Joe is very easy to work with. Communication is great . He works hard to find what your looking, gives you other options, but no sales pitch. This was our forth successful transaction with him, and he has always been consistent. He's great at his job and we look forward to working with him more in the future.
This was my 3rd transaction with Joe Massimino in less than 2 years. I have know him over 20 years and he has never failed to be proactive, polite, and professional. Every meeting started and ended on time and he was fully prepared for each step of the process. The result was a relaxed pace for us as the seller and, I believe, a straightforward and trustworthy face to the buyers and their agent. We set the price at a point that respected the property, location, current real estate market and our financial goals and achieved results that exceeded our realistic expectations quickly and smoothly. He is an asset to Shorewest and his clients.
If you want a man who will listen to your wishes and then devises a way to make things happen in a way which exceeds the most you could possibly hope for then, Joseph Massimino is your man. Joe has talents which make him a dream real-estate agent to work with. He LISTENS to, and then guides his clients down a path to success. in our case, in April, we told him in we wanted to sell our home in June and that we wanted to find and move into a new home prior to our existing home going on sale. He was soon back with a plan which when followed gave us exactly what we wanted in the way of a new home in addition to selling our existing home well above market. Joe's communication skills and ability to keep his clients up to date are pretty incredible. I doubt that we'll be in need of an agent in the near future, but if we do, I know who he'll be. Thanks for everything Joe
As first time home buyers, Joe gave us the extra support we needed. The amount of time he spent with us going over each step of the process demonstrated his commitment to us. Of course, we knew Joe had other clients, but he made us feel like we were his only clients. With Joe's expertise, we found our house within budget in a competitive seller's market. Trust the search! Trust Joe!
Joe was very personable and patient. He walked me through step by step on my first offer to purchase silent bid. It was extremely helpful.
Joe was great to work with!
Joe Massimino had a real conversation before the sale started. He listened to our concerns and helped us achieve our goals. Shorewest has been great to work with.
I found Joe Massimino, my realtor, to be very motivated and detail-oriented. Joe was personable and easy to work with. I was made to feel like I was his only seller. He returned my phone calls quickly. Joe was always prepared, organized and followed through with every detail. As a first time seller, Joe patiently explained all the details to me Joel went above and beyond my expectation. I would highly recommend Joe to anyone selling their property. I cannot speak highly enough of him. I'm extremely placed with services provided by Shorewest through Joe Massimino.
Joe made the process of selling my rental property smooth and stress free. I couldn't ask for a better experience than the one Joe provided he's the best!
Joe is a wonderful professional. He is thoughtful and caring. He listens carefully. He understands his client's desires and aspirations well, He has always been there for us. He worked with us patiently and diligently and got us what we wanted.
The sale went smoothly and all facets Shorewest was responsible for were handled expertly by Joe Massimino. He was very responsive to any questions we might have and he anticipated all needs on both sides. We were very pleased with our experience.
Joe Massimino was thorough and professional as he guided us through the purchase of our home in Cudahy. He quickly found the home that met every requirement we had established. There were no surprises and the purchase was smooth. Highest recommendations for Joe and the Shorewest team. Thanks. David and Annette.
The first half of our experience (purchase of a new home) is now complete and we are very satisfied with the way things were handled. We were kept informed at each step of the process and from the beginning to the end things went very smoothly. I have to say that Joe Massimino is the person responsible for making the purchase go well from finding us properties which he thought we would be interested in to getting our offer to purchase accepted. We look forward to the work he will have done in selling our old home.
I have known Joe for 20 years, and had the pleasure of working with him as both a buyer and seller in the last 8 months. I sold a 4 family investment property and saw him as financial advisor, technical and legal source and solid professional. When the buyer needed repairs, Joe had the list of contractors to me within a day and we secured all the necessary work and documentation in the time allowed to keep the deal intact and on track. As a buyer, Joe took the time to insist on a sit-down with my spouse and I to understand our needs, wants, likes and dislikes as individuals and as a couple. He treated us as though he was just meeting us , rather than assume he knew our goals. We never felt rushed, or got an impression he was pushing one property over another, it was all about us. We went from interested lookers to a closed purchase in about 60 days with Joe's guidance and we look forward to enjoying our new home thanks to his professional and knowledgeable direction.
I just purchased the condo of my dreams, and Joe was instrumental in making that dream a reality! He's patient, responsive, reliable, knowledgeable, organized, and delightful to work with--everything you want in a realtor. Joe made the whole process understandable, informing me of everything that was happening and patiently addressing and answering my questions. He's the exact person you want at your side when house (condo!) buying. I'm keeping my current property, but when it comes time to sell, there is no question that Joe will be the person for me. You could not ask for anyone better. Joe is the best!
We got excellent service from Joe M. Joe is warm knowledgeable and very professional in his dealings with us. Very good job Joe.
Joe is not your everyday 'Joe'. Joe is not a real estate salesman. Joe is a partner that was part salesman, part advisor, part facilitator and part knowledge guy that knows what and how to do things selling a home. He dug in and went out of his way to help get our house ready to sell and more importantly used every marketing tool he had. The best thing I can say about Joe is that if we ever sell another home there is only one person we would call. Joe is the only person you need to call
I couldn't find a nicer, most intelligent and super efficient real estate sales person than Joe! He helped us through the entire process of staging and selling our home. I was delighted when we sold our home in 2 weeks. Thanks to Joe! He's so great he still keeps in touch with us!
It was an excellent selling experience. Joe certainly uses his talents and his ability. I will share his name with others I come in contact with that want to sell or buy a house. Joe is delightful to work with in getting the goal achieved. Shorewest is very lucky to have him.
Joe is a great agent, will be our agent until he retires, or we move somewhere warm.
We had the most amazing experience working with Joe. He helped us find a new home and sell our old house. We were introduced to Joe when we began kicking tires on houses. From the very start he was professional, kind, thoughtful and detailed. We were not in a rush to find a new house and he was so extremely patient with us. Not once did we ever feel pressured. He really took the time to get to know both myself and my wife, and made the extra effort to understand what we were looking for and what would be an ideal home for us. He guided us through the process and opened our eyes to some potential pitfalls along the way. He was always made himself available for any questions/concerns, big or small. We're so incredibly grateful we had Joe as our Real Estate Professional. To top it all off when our offer was accepted, Joe had us and our house well prepared to go on the market. We had 8 offers in less than 24 hours, all over asking. It was unbelievable! I'd highly recommend Joe to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Joe Massimino earned the highest possible rating acting as our agent for the sale of our home. He approached our particular needs with great sensitivity and understanding. At every step in the complex sale process Joe was always well prepared in advance and immediately available to us to ask questions and solve problems. His professionalism and energetic approach expedited our sale and gave us the result we wanted,
Joe, you are the best! Love dealing with you!
Joe has been fantastic! He has definitely found his niche. First of all, he has kept in touch for somewhere between 3-5 years before I actually purchased. He mailed a reminder card here and there, perfect way to keep in touch (for me), and definitely a method that made me want to go with him and Shorewest and no one else. He is really attuned to people and their personalities. We are not cookie cutter customers to him. He spends the time when he needs to, he never made me feel rushed and I appreciate that because I can be a talker and sometimes don't know when to stop. Always professional, always prompt, always reachable at any time. I don't currently have a printer so he would print out documents (without being asked) that he thought I wouldn't want to read on my phone ...and deliver them to me..... Awesome! He cares very much about his clients. Not a doubt in my mind that I will recommend him to friends and family when their time comes.
Joe is the best! He truly knows his stuff when helping a family find the perfect home. He listened, understood our needs and was incredibly responsive. He went above and beyond in thoughtful ways that made our entire move more enjoyable. I can't say enough wonderful things about buying our home with Joe by our side.
We just closed on a property in Shorewood with the invaluable help of Joe Massimino. He made the entire process pleasant and stress free, not an easy task given the fact that we live 4,000 miles away. If you want a professional, yet personable and knowledgeable realtor, Joe is your guy. Thank you Joe! The Sinards
Joe did an awesome job. Kept things running smoothly despite some set-backs.
Joe Massimino is wonderful to work with. He responds to all our questions and goes beyond making sure we are informed on every detail. He definitely is full service through the process.
Joe did a fantastic job. I couldn't ask for a better Real Estate Professional. Thanks Joe.
I partnered up with Joe as my buyer's agent on my last property search. Joe was helpful, resourceful, and easy to work with throughout the whole process. He even took time during off hours and Sundays. I'm not really certain what else an agent could do that Joe didn't cover.
Joe was extremely helpful and attentive to our wants and needs in finding our new home. He was very responsive to all our correpondence, and was both professional as well as personable. We would definitely recommend him to family and friends.
Joe truly is amazing! His attention to detail made the process of buying real estate in a new city so much more efficient and most importantly a truly pleasurable experience. From start to finish the entire process only took twenty five days. Joe and the entire Shorewest team were exceptional to work with! And I highly recommend contacting Joe if you are planning to purchase and or sell real estate.
Joe was a consummate professional who helped guide our search and refine it as we went along
Joe is fantastic! After working with him, he now feels like an extended family member. He truly got to know me and was very patient with a first time home buyer. He is very accessible and personable. Overall, I would recommend him to anyone!
Joe listened to everything we wanted in our first home. He was attentive and patient. He made the whole process much easier and much less scary for a first time home buyer! He is a great communicator. Thanks so much Joe!
Purchasing your first home can be a very stressful situation, but from start to finish, my wife and I were very impressed with Joe. While viewing open houses in Shorewood, our first interaction with Joe was warm and inviting. Joe welcomed us to his office the following week and answered all of our questions regarding the home buying process over a cup of coffee. After the first night of showings, Joe's professional connections came through for us with a lead on a home that was hitting the market the following day. Knowing our likes and dislikes, Joe immediately reached out to us for a showing and gave us suggestions on writing a personal letter to give us an edge with the sellers with our offer. From our initial interaction, to his deep network of contacts and referrals to help with the closing process, I would highly recommend Joe Massimino and the Shorewest team!
Joe worked really hard to sell my property for the best price. I couldn't have been happier with the outcome of my home sale. He was also great at keeping me informed and holding my hand as necessary.
Joe went above and beyond to ensure that I felt confident in purchasing my home. Hes a very genuine guy that I would recommend to anyone looking for a perfect home.
The idea of a home search for our special needs children was a daunting task to us until we spoke with a good friend who had in mind someone he thought would be a perfect match. He highly recommended Joe to us as the go to realtor who would be able to help us find that home considering our complicated, unique situation. We have to say Joe far exceeded all our expectations! He was a fantastic listener which shined through by his compassion and quick ability to pick up subtle (and not so subtle) cues of exactly what we as parents needed and what the kids wanted and needed. His humor was always displayed at just the right moment in order to reduce a very stressful situation to immediate calm and laughter for all. The kids felt Joe listened to them and understood how hard they worked to get to this point in their lives. They were extremely comfortable with him which allowed us to take a step back as Joe walked through the process with them. He was patient, answering all their questions, helping them to learn the process and truly make this a search about THEIR dreams and expectations. That is HUGE! He was easily reachable and returned calls extremely fast. If he did not have an answer he quickly found the resources to get one for us. He was a great adviser and stellar communicator who we felt had everyone's best interests at heart, guiding the kids and always keeping we parents in the loop. None of us ever felt rushed or pushed into something we were not comfortable with. We consider Joe to be very hard working, trustworthy, compassionate and kind a rare find today. His passion for his career and his desire to help people meet their dreams shined through again and again. This was one of the most stressful, difficult processes of our lives but Joe made it more than bearable, he made it fun. We have not, and would not hesitate to recommend Joe to anyone who was considering purchasing or selling a home.
Joe represented me as both a Seller and a Buyer and I was amazed by his dedication and professionalism throughout his work with me. From the first meeting regarding selling my home to the purchase of my new home he exemplified the best one can expect from a real estate professional. His instincts and advice were spot on and I am happily relocated thanks to him.
When a friend was considering selling her home, Joe was the first person who came to my mind! I don't think anyone could find a more hard-working, patient, diligent and conscientious realtor. I put the two in touch with each other, and from that point things went like clockwork. She bought a lovely new home, and her old home sold the same weekend it went on the market. It was amazing to see! I know she couldn't be happier, with her new home, with selling, and with the excellent relationship she has with Joe. When my time comes, which may be sooner rather than later (because I love the condo where my friend moved to and I'm adding it to my short list of places to move!), Joe is the person I'll have working with me. There's no one better!
We feel very fortunate to have had Joe Massimino as our Realtor. At our first meeting, Joe outlined, in detail, the process we would follow for the entire transaction. This included: pricing the property appropriately; preparing the house for listing including cosmetic changes, i.e wallpaper, painting and furnishings, and a professional home inspection; monitoring repairs; developing print and internet coverage of the listing; scheduling showings and Open Houses; up to the final negotiations and closing. We developed a time line early on and followed it. Joe taught us how to see the house through the eyes of a potential buyer rather than through our own, a nearly impossible task when you have lived in a house you love for two decades. Selling a house is stressful and Joe's professionalism, calm demeanor, organizational skills and attention to detail greatly eased our anxiety. When we disagreed, we were never rushed into making a decision but, would objectively talk through the issue always in the context of our mutual goal. Joe didn't just list the house and sit back and wait; he worked on our behalf to SELL it. His presentation plan for the property coupled with follow-up on even the slightest expression of interest on the part of potential buyers put us in the position of having to chose from two strong offers on the same day!
My husband and I were new to the whole housing industry and did not knew exactly what to expect. Joe Massimino and Shorewest helped us completely. We felt as though we were in the best hands. Joe made what could have been a stressful situation, fun and exciting. He was very patient and knowledgeable with each home we visited until my husband and I found the perfect place to call home. We are very happy to have found the place we did with Joe's help.
I have found that Joe analyzed my personal and professional circumstance and custom fit a solution, multiple solutions actually and then presented those to me for my selection. Joe is open to my acceptance or non acceptance of any of his ideas. I believe he enthusiastically enjoys a challenge and meeting the requirements of those challenges. Joe exemplifies Positive Mental Attitude in his work and his relationships. I recommend him.
I have known Joe for many years - he is honest, hardworking and knowledgeable - no matter what he does. He has a great attitude and is fun to work with. I would use Joe if I ever have a change in my current living arrangements.
Joe, Thank you for all of your help. Taj and I came to you when we did not know much about purchasing a home. You made it easy, fun and very special. We very much appreciate all your help through the whole experience.
