Meet Joannie Veals
Real estate agent, Kenna Real Estate Group at Keller Williams DTC (KWDTC)
Joannie Veals is a full-time divorce real estate agent with The Kenna Real Estate Group at Keller Williams DTC, and has been a full-time agent for several years; this is her career, not a side line. She lives in Reunion, on the Commerce City side of the north metro, and specializes in selling homes for divorcing homeowners in the neighborhoods she drives every day: Reunion, Commerce City, Brighton, Thornton, Northglenn and the rest of the north metro, plus anywhere in Denver a client needs her.
Joannie is patient with the questions that come before the decision and precise about the paperwork once the decision is made. Every divorce listing at Kenna runs on the same written rules: one market analysis to both spouses at the same time, reviewed by Damon L. Chavez, Certified Real Estate Divorce Specialist; the price, reductions, repairs, access and disbursement terms written for the stipulation; a showing log and every offer sent to both of you and both attorneys; separate signings if you need them; net proceeds held at title and split as the court ordered. Court-ordered sales, buyouts when one spouse stays, downsizing after a long marriage, and buying again on one income are all part of the work.
If you are searching for a divorce realtor in Commerce City, Brighton, Thornton or the north Denver metro, ask for Joannie by name, or send the form; it reaches the group directly and nobody contacts you without your permission.
Want to know more about Joannie’s real estate experience? Joannie’s profile, reviews and current listings on kennarealestate.com. And if you are reading this in the middle of a divorce: we know why you are here. Nobody will ask you to explain more than you want to, and nobody contacts you unless you say yes.
Part of the hardest working group in real estate. The Kenna Real Estate Group operates under Keller Williams Realty DTC, LLC in the Denver Tech Center, is BBB Accredited with an A+ rating, and is led by team leader and licensed broker Brian Lee Burke. Brian leads every divorce file, with Damon L. Chavez, Certified Real Estate Divorce Specialist, reviewing the valuation. Why that matters when the house is in a divorce.
How a divorce sale with Joannie works
- Call or text. Tell Joannie where the case is (thinking about it, filed, decree entered) and whether one of you wants to stay. Here is the whole process.
- One written market analysis to both spouses at the same time. The group prepares the Smart Pricing Report, reviewed by Damon Chavez, Certified Real Estate Divorce Specialist; both of you and both attorneys get it at the same time. Appraisal versus CMA.
- Terms the court expects. Price rules, reductions, repairs, access and where the proceeds go, written into the stipulation or order before the sign goes up. Court-ordered sales.
- Joannie runs the showings and the paperwork. Separate signings if you need them, a log of every showing and offer, and nothing about the divorce in the marketing.
- Close and disburse as ordered. Proceeds go exactly where the decree or stipulation says. The $250k / $500k tax rule.
