What our clients are saying…
“We have had Tatum help us buy two homes and sell one. She is extremely knowledgeable of the market and the area and always has given us spot-on advice. Tatum and her team take care of everything, which makes an otherwise stressful situation pretty easy! Alicia and Joyce are always super helpful if Tatum is unavailable. Alicia stays on top of the paperwork and sends helpful advice and checklists to stay on top of the process; she even stepped in with less than an hour's notice to show us a place that we had driven by that day. When selling, Tatum kept us updated throughout on everything, and come offer day, we were more than thrilled with what we got. Tatum is efficient, easy to communicate with and always got us in to see the houses we wanted to see, even with COVID restrictions. We bought our most recent home off market due to Tatum's connections with other realtors in the area - she knew us well enough to know this would be the perfect house for us and made it happen! We are extremely happy with our beautiful new home and with Tatum!”

“Where do I begin? I have worked with many Realtors professionally and Joyce is outstanding. She helped us buy a new home and sell ours off market quickly (so quickly in fact that it closed before our new purchase). She patiently worked with us off and on for over a year as we casually looked, and wrote an offer on almost no notice when we decided to finally pull the trigger in the middle of a pandemic. She also helped us change lenders midstream which lowered our rate by over half a percent. She has fantastic connections.
Joyce has been responsive, communicative, patient, diligent, and trustworthy. We are so happy we hired her (after meeting her at a random open house years ago) and have recommended her to several friends. She knows the broader area well but is especially talented if you are looking in San Carlos or Redwood City. Beyond being extremely capable and experienced, she is nice and has a wonderful sense of humor. Buying or selling a house is stressful - you certainly want to like the person you are working with.
We are eternally grateful for her guidance and expertise!”

“Joyce exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend her as a realtor, she was incredible to work with. Joyce came recommended by one of our close friends and upon interviewing her as well as comparing her to other agents we interacted with during the home buying process - she is the best realtor we have come across.
Looking back at this process, there are a number of traits that I value in a realtor, 1) Someone who has experience and is knowledgeable about the housing market 2) Is well respected and has great relationships with other realtors 3) Enjoyable to work with 4) Professional and responsive. Joyce checked every one of these boxes.
Joyce has extensive knowledge of the San Carlos and surrounding areas, being able to advise on what areas would be best suited for us as buyers. She also has worked with many of the realtors, which becomes invaluable when you are trying to develop bidding strategies for potential homes.
We view Joyce as a friend after the process. We actually enjoyed coming down to San Carlos each weekend to view homes and she was extremely patient with our extensive list of 'must-haves' which made this process longer than we anticipated. Also, she was always so responsive to any question that we had and has remained very helpful to us even after we purchased our home answering questions and making introductions.
We couldn't have been happier with our experience working with Joyce and Dwell Realtors. “ Anthony C.
“If you’re looking for the best realtors in San Carlos (or San Mateo county for that matter) look no further.
Tatum and Joyce are reliable, trustworthy, and extremely hardworking. My wife and I interviewed many agents and decided to work with them because they know their stuff.
Buying or selling a home can be a stressful process and as first time sellers my wife and I were looking for someone with experience and someone who was willing to hold our hand through the entire process. They were thorough and very responsive to emails, phone calls, and texts.
We couldn't have asked for a more smooth, stress-free experience. These ladies know the market and will get you the best price for your home. I recommend Tatum and Joyce hands down!”

“These are some local ladies that know it all and everyone. My personal experience with both of them has always been positive, fun and upbeat. Tate is super down to earth and real. She's a hard worker and will hustle the hustle for you. She knows the area and everything that goes with it, people, restaurants, schools, gyms you name it. If you're looking for someone to sell your house or find one for you to buy, these are your ladies!! Joyce and Tate have connections to construction, a team of networks for improving your home, from remodeling to upgrading or even a small facelift. Call Joyce and Tate you won't regret it, they both rock!! :)”

“Joyce and Tatum are incredible . Not only are they amazing agents who have helped MANY of my friends move into our community but have also helped more to buy their dream homes on and off the market . They care in a way that's rare these days, and Tatum especially has gone above and beyond in the moving process to ensure everyone involved is supported and resourced and happy. I'm SO impressed with them both and would recommend them to anyone , at any time!”

“Joyce and Tatum are awesome realtors and were insanely helpful through every step of the process. They know the San Carlos area really well and gave us great advice on local stuff. Their staff are super responsive and even proactively helped us out with tax docs! Highly recommend.”

“Joyce & Tatum are fantastic. They worked relentlessly to help sell a house and find the perfect new home for my family. What an energetic duo! With my busy schedule Joyce & Tatum took the time to narrow my home search to possibilities they knew I would like and were worth taking the time to look at. I would 100% recommend this dynamic duo!”

“Joyce & Tatum really know the San Carlos market. I would trust them for any real estate transaction in the area. But most importantly, they are great partners - they will go out of their way to help out in house purchases with all the random things that come up (and they do!).”
James V.
“I cannot recommend Joyce and Tatum enthusiastically enough! We have used them to sell two houses and to buy two houses. We would not dream of using anyone else! Their knowledge of the local communities is unsurpassed. They work extremely hard for all of their clients and really care that you find the right place. And, as we know, that's only half of the battle in our local uber-competitive market. Buying and/or selling a home is one of life's most stressful events- I can attest that Joyce and Tatum will guide you through with a steady and helpful hand (not to mention that they're terrifically friendly, kind, and funny).”

“Tatum was great to work with when we purchased our San Carlos home last year. She had a good sense of what we were looking for, and when the right house came on the market she helped us to write a winning offer. She was truly full service--she put us in touch with a mortgage banker that not only gave us a great rate, but closed in 10 days, she coordinated all the necessary inspections, helped me find a "floor guy" to redo the floors before we moved in, and was super available for all our questions.
She and Joyce work well together as a team. At one point, Tatum was out of town and Joyce stepped in quite seamlessly.
I would easily use them again for future transactions.”
Anne A.
“Joyce won our business on day one by responding within an hour to our initial inquiry (on a Sunday!) and made time to come meet us that day, having already stopped by the house we had our eye on, and brought several ideas of other homes we might be interested in. Wow! Since the home we were considering was going to require some updating, we were also going to need access to a vast network of solid contractors. Joyce quickly proved she had an excellent network by introducing us to general contractors, interior design, pool maintenance, pest control companies, you name it. We could not have asked for a better, more responsive business partner during the process of buying a new home!”
