We recently purchased a home in Port Townsend, and with Joel Carben as our realtor, the transaction was smooth and painless. This was not a typical house, it needed a tremendous amount of work and we had lots of questions. Joel researched and answered every question within a few hours, and no question was too big or too small.

We soon realized that one of Joel’s best attributes was his ability to listen. He was empathetic and understood our needs. He offered well thought out suggestions that informed our decision. Joel definitely went the extra mile for us, and in the process, he became a trusted friend.

We would like to relate our absolute satisfaction with the service we received from Joel Carben. Joel worked with us to narrow down what we wanted, presented numerous options for us to consider, worked as our buyer's broker on two properties that ultimately didn't go through, and finally brokered the deal that resulted in our closing on our property just south of Port Townsend. We have had some great realtors in the past, and Joel ranks right up there with them in our minds.

We recently bought a house in Port Townsend with the considerable help of Joel Carben. This was a several month process which Joel coached us through increasing our clarity along the way. He encouraged patience and perseverance which ultimately paid off for us. He correctly advised us to avoid several options that really would not have worked , even though it meant more work for him. In the process we became good friends. We will certainly use Joel for any future real estate needs.
