JoAnn Levine said, “The best part of my job is when a property closes, whether buying or selling, and seeing the smiles on my clients’ faces. One example is when I had a family meet me at the home they had just purchased. They hadn’t told their children about the purchase. The kids came running out of the car, screaming and crying, asking, ‘Is this really our house?’ It made me feel like I’d just won the lottery.”

JoAnn Levine is the go-to person for real estate in Ventura County and Los Angeles County, and she enjoys interacting with her clients and helping other agents succeed. She appreciates becoming a part of her clients’ lives, being invited to their house warming parties and other events.

Their desire to constantly learn, their innovation and their cutting edge tools combine to create a recipe for success. They are always forging ahead, even if someone says it can’t be done.”

In her spare time, JoAnn Levine enjoys spending time with her husband while taking their motorcycle out riding and just relaxing. She loves to travel and enjoys spending time with her daughters who live out of state. She is committed to seeing her business grow and thrive so that she can continue to spend time with her family, including her 10-month old granddaughter.
