My husband and I agree that Joe is the gold standard. His extensive professional knowledge base, compassion for clients (careful attention to our needs/wants), generosity of spirit and sharp focus make an unbeatable combination.
If we've forgotten to laud any area needing feedback, simply grade it "excellent".
Thank you Joe Vitali.

Jordan Frederick, Lansing, MI
This was my first home buying experience (and honestly I hope it's my last) and Joe was always able to answer my questions and guide me when needed with certain processes or issues. I would highly recommend him to anyone. If I am ever in the market again I would not hesitate to use him for buying a home.

Traci Kanillopoolos, Lansing, Michigan
Joe Vitale listed and sold my deceased father's home. I've never purchased or sold a home and Joe made sure I understood everything from day one. His knowledge of the market, real estate law (including dealing with a trust), his kindness, consideration, excellent communication, and trustworthiness went above and beyond what I anticipated. I would highly recommend Joe Vitale to anyone looking for a realtor. In my opinion, he is the best in the business!!!

I interviewed the top agents in the area to sell my home and to work with while we look for our next home. Joe Vitale is a kind and compassionate real estate agent. Joe holds a wealth of knowledge and is an "outside the box" thinker. In today’s ever-changing real estate market this is crucial. Joe is also always swift to respond, often you come across agents who are not as punctual in responding, and this causes delays, which result in missing opportunities. With homes selling within days of being listed, swift communication is crucial. I highly recommend Joe to anyone looking to buy or sell your home. He will get you top dollar for your existing home if you are selling, and he will ensure your buying experience is nothing short of stellar!
