About Joanna …

I have been in the real estate business for over 30 years. Born and raised in Atlanta Georgia, I graduated from a private, southern school known as Furman University with a French degree… Go Paladins! Out of college I began to build my communication skills by working as a tour guide at Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL. I then set my sights on real estate. While studying for my license I worked for one of the most predominant builders in Atlanta at the time.

I received my real estate license in 1986 and was then relocated out here to Colorado Springs in 1989. Working in many fields of the real estate world, along with restoring and renting older homes with my husband has built a well-rounded background for myself. Remember the saying “walk the walk and talk the talk”? My experience in renovations and ownership of rental property has allowed me to do just that, and I am always applying that knowledge to my clients and their business with me.

Branching out on my own in 1995 was challenging but yet rewarding. Trying to make a new name for myself in a new city with young kids was not easy! Over the years I have tended to focus on my love of old, historic homes in the downtown area. My goal with Thompson Properties has always been to give my clients the small business feel that focuses solely on their satisfaction. My husband and 4 girls have been very supportive and involved in helping my business become what it is today.

About Susan ….

Currently enjoying my 23rd year in the Real Estate Industry, and still passionate about helping people realize their real estate goals!  Having spent the first four years of my real estate career in the California Bay Area (after working 6 years as a legal secretary for a large firm in Palo Alto), I relocated to Seattle in 2004 with my then husband.  After becoming single again, I made the decision to move back to Colorado Springs in 2017 (where I lived with my exhusband in the mid 1990’s).  I specializing in residential real estate sales representing Sellers, Buyers and Investors.  Whatever your particular real estate needs, I could love to help you find the perfect home and neighborhood for your lifestyle, or market your home to potential buyers.  

My business philosophy is to consistently provide personalized hands-on support and effective communication while navigating through the process of successfully listing and selling homes.  Marketing techniques, skillful negotiation, overcoming road-blocks and diffusing stressful situations are a few of my specialties.

 My Mission Statement:  To provide the very best service to my
clients.  I believe in being an expert at what I do and you should demand no less. The job of a Realtor requires strong negotiating skills, contract knowledge, coordination skills, project management skills, marketing/design experience, outstanding customer service and an understanding of the client’s needs.  Serving you and meeting and exceeding your expectations is my goal.

On a personal note, I live in close to downtown Colorado Springs with my 8.5 year old Golden Retriever “Scarlett”, who is a Certified Therapy Dog.  Currently we are a Pet Therapy team volunteering at Penrose Hospital, Pikes Peak Hospice and Peak View Behavioral Health facility.  I also have a 2-year old Golden Retriever named “Olive”.
