Joan DiGiovanna

Founder | CEO

Joan gets inspired by working with people. Hearing their stories, and learning about who they are and what their desires/requirements are so that she can assist with all their needs. As an experienced investor and broker, Joan’s first-hand knowledge of the challenges related to buying and selling properties locally, domestically, and internationally is invaluable. This unique experience makes her an asset to her clients' entire Real Estate portfolio. Joan has the tools and resources to globalize listings through her prestigious affiliations. They are as follows.

REALM – the most elite membership of real estate professionals ever assembled. REALM involvement is by invitation only and includes a patented technology platform that enriches individual client data while activating the databases of the membership in a completely anonymized manner. Joan is a founding member of REALM.

Certified Santa Fe Real Estate Specialist – out of 1,700+ realtors registered with the Santa Fe Association of Realtors, less than 75 have earned this specialist designation.

The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing – an invitation-only realtors network serving the luxury real estate markets in North America.

Keller Williams Luxury Homes International - spanning 5 continents and 100+ countries and territories. This division is an exclusive and elite group of real estate consultants who provide top-notch service to the upper-tier housing market.

Harvard University – Advanced Negotiation Skills – Joan completed the fourteen-hour Professional & Executive Development program at Harvard’s Division of Continuing Education, further honing her ability to advocate fiercely and effectively for her clients.

While her passion is for all real estate, Joan's home market is New Mexico where she has resided for over 40 years. Joan and her team offer an unmatched level of local knowledge. She is comfortable and successful in listing and selling homes throughout Santa Fe, Albuquerque, and surrounding areas.

A unique member of the team is Brava, Joan’s Saint Berdoodle. Brava has worked as a K9 Realtor since the tender age of 8 weeks. From riding shotgun on buyer tours to calming nerves at the closing table, Brava is the star at Encore.

Most of all Joan enjoys being a part of her client’s real estate success stories… This is her Encore.
