Meet Joan Peaslee

Joan Peaslee, Realtor with Shaheen, Ruth, Martin & Fonville Real Estate

Most real estate agents will tell you that they got into the business because they love houses. But I really do.

I simply love houses. Whether it’s a playful Contemporary in Hillcrest, a picturesque Tudor in Bellevue or a stately Georgian in Westmoreland Place, homes are like works of art. Drive through a standout neighborhood and you’ll feel like you’re visiting a great art exhibit. That’s one reason why I became a real estate agent: I get to work around beautiful houses.

Of course, just as it’s tough to spot a neglected masterpiece in a dark basement, great homes can go unnoticed. My most important task as a real estate agent often lies in helping a seller define her home’s best features and let them shine through.
