About Joan Lane

Choosing the correct realtor does make a difference and I understand you have a choice. Because of this, I strive to provide outstanding service with exceptional results. My primary focus is to assist sellers to obtain the highest price with the best possible terms on their home sale. Market preparedness and strong negotiation skills are two key strengths in this process.

Prior to my career in real estate, I worked in the social services field earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Cincinnati and a Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Kentucky, graduating with top honors. I’ve spent many years advocating for and counseling abused, neglected, and at-risk youth. I have been a licensed foster parent, Big Sister for BBBS, and a CASA volunteer for Pro Kids.

Although my formal education was in social work, my underlying passion has always been real estate. Raised in a family of entrepreneurs, with a love for building, development, flipping homes and design, Real Estate is in my blood. My husband has spent his career as a custom home builder and master remodeler in Greater Cincinnati. This direct connection and involvement in the building process continues to fuel my love for housing.

My husband Brian, son Nash and I reside in Dearborn County, Indiana. We truly enjoy the building process whether it be for us or one of our clients. We have built 6 homes for ourselves personally. We also own several rental properties in Harrison, OH and have enjoyed improving them.

Nash graduated from East Central High School and Southeastern Indiana Career center in the Heavy Equipment Operator Program. He is currently working as an operator for a demolition company. He is an avid outdoorsman and loves hunting, target shooting, fishing, and boating.

As a family we love spending time with extended family and friends. Cooking and entertaining is a passion and therapeutic for all. Our favorite family vacation spot is our little house at Lake Cumberland. We love boating, skiing, wake boarding and all that comes with it.

Our award winning real estate team also includes Ashley Enneking, Ohio and Indiana licensed agent, Jacquie Stewart Ohio and Kentucky licensed agent, and Mallory Wilson, office administrator.

"Professional and thorough. Joan provided valuable guidance in selling my home and searching for a home." John

"My mom and I were selling our family home in the local area as part of the estate after a death in the family. Neither of us live in the area so Joan's help with pricing, showing and marketing were critical. Joan was wonderful to work with. She understood our needs and expertly navigated us through the process of selling. We sold in just a few days for over asking price. I was extremely pleased with Joan's help and would absolutely recommend her for anyone selling or buying a property in the area." Susan Diel and Ryan Knight, Cincinnati, Ohio - Seller

"Thank you for all your hard work! We really appreciate everything you did and for your steady patience!." Ken and Jacquie

"We have been using Joan as our realtor for years. She does an amazing job at her craft! Very knowledgeable about the industry. Joan is very professional and always accessible. She returns messages promptly even on vacation. Selling our home which we raised our family was very emotional. Joan made the process go smoothly with out any issues. I would recommend her and her team for any of your real estate needs." Amy Baglien, Harrison Ohio - Seller

"I cannot tell you how much we appreciated all you did to get this deal to closing, had it not been for your valiant efforts in the last couple of weeks I am sure this would not have happened. I assure you if we ever have any real estate needs back in the area we know who we will call, and we will recommend to our friends and family. Again, thank you!" Tom and Jill

"I would definitely recommend or use the services again of this agent and her assistant. I found them very helpful and informative." Holly

"Joan was the first real estate agent I have ever dealt with and will be the last. I would never consider using anyone else. Her knowledge on the market I was looking for was great. Not only did she help me buy a home, but she went out of her way to try and explain and teach me along the way. She truly made a potentially hard and stressful process very easy for my wife and I."
