We started the process of buying our first house almost a year ago now. We thought we would need months upon months of planning, learning everything there is to know about loans, preparing to work with a realtor, and preparing to stay sane during it all. Then we met Joel. He handed us all of that information we had been struggling with, and many things we still didn't know, the first time we met him. What we thought would take us a year was simplified into a few weeks (we had DRASTICALLY over estimated the time we needed to find our home). Even in the months we weren't actively searching, Joel kept us up to date with tips and fun conversation. When it came time to start touring prospective homes, Joel was there with years of experience pointing out not only the good and pretty things we saw, but anything and everything that might be of concern in our future home. Joel doesn't want to sell you a house; he wants to help you make an informed decision and guide you into a home you'll love. He may have been our realtor, but now we consider Joel a good friend.

Joel was always available and always professional. He walked me through the process of home
buying, something I hadn't done in 30 years. He answered all my questions promptly or researched
them and got back with me. He pointed out things I hadn't noticed or thought about for each
property we looked at. He was most helpful.

I had an excellent experience in 2018 when Joel acted as my Realtor. I had not purchased real estate in the previous 30 years and Joel was most helpful in walking me through the process and answering all my questions and concerns. He was always available, always courteous and professional. I'd highly recommend Joel Watson.

Joel was extremely helpful in the experience of buying my first home. He is knowledgeable and if he didn't have an answer immediately available for me, he found out the answer to anything and everything I asked him. His responses were always timely, and he kept me up to speed with the break neck pace of the market without making me feel like he was trying to force me to buy a house. I honestly don't think there's a better realtor in Alabama, and should I ever need to buy another house, I will be using Joel again!

Joel was great to work with while selling my house. This was all new to me so I had many questions
that Joel was excellent about answering and helping me understand. He was easily accessible and
great at communicating throughout the selling process. Would happily work with Joel again and
recommend him to friends and family!

Joel worked with my husband and I to list and sell our home. Prior to listing with Joel the property had been listed for 6 months with a different, very experienced agent that did not bring any sale offers. Joel put together a marketing plan that included both local media and social media ads. He successfully targeted markets that resulted in showings and ultimately the sale of the property. While the house was listed Joel kept us up to date on the progress of the social media plan as well as the feedback from each showing. Throughout the sale process Joel was always available to address our questions and concerns. We highly recommend Joel as a real estate agent.

Joel is an excellent realtor who is always available and does whatever he can to keep a deal on the table. As a nervous first time buyer, he was very reassuring and great about walking me through every step and explaining all the paperwork. Highly recommended!

Joel is a phenomenal realtor. I have never purchased a house before, so I was skeptical about what a realtor actually does and if they're worth the cost. Working with Joel blew my preconceptions out of the water. Not only did he save us almost $20,000, his fees came out of the seller's pocket. This meant that we paid nothing for his extremely valuable services which, even if we did have to pay, would have been worth it by a long shot. He advocated for several repairs that the owner paid for, and Joel was able to knock down the price of the house by several thousand as well. Throughout the whole process he went above and beyond with his generosity, communication, and user-friendly guidance. He was impressively knowledgeable with all things real estate, and was able to simplify this otherwise-overwhelming undertaking. Going through this process without him would have been unthinkable. I cannot recommend his services enough. 10/10 A+++

Joel was such a great agent. He really listened to us, showed us what was available, and even helped us find the right lending company to help us get into our dream home. He went above and beyond with his attention to detail and finding things that we would never have though of while inspecting the property and making sure the contract was perfect for us. I would highly recommend Joel to anyone looking for a real estate agent in Birmingham. He has truly become a friend.
