I was raised in Naperville and have never forgotten my small town roots and how happy vibrant communities feel as a kid growing up! That is why I moved to the Fox Valley in 1987 with my family and lived in Geneva and now St. Charles. My children all love where they grew-up despite the complaining at the time! We have deep roots in our communities.
1987 to Present -I bought and restored (2) 19th century homes, raised 4 children and sold real estate, I love the Fox Valley for its friendly people, excellent schools and the opportunity to be involved in hundreds of activities.
Real estate was always a passion ( its a tired cliche but the only one that applies) so I became a licensed agent in 1989. I was with BW for some of that time up to 1999. I worked hard and had a thriving real estate business!
In 1999 I was introduced to a third party relocation position. I have worked in numerous positions ever since then ending in 2016 as an account manager. I have an in-depth knowledge of relocation company culture and processes, HR policies for transferring employees, the home sale processes and a myriad of other subjects in this industry. I retired in 2016 from TRC Global but wasn't ready to just go play....
2016 - I re-opened my real estate career! After joining a small real estate office for 2 yrs, I am back at Baird Warner and I am thrilled ! The training and support for technology, marketing and sales is unparalleled. I still believe real estate is all about PEOPLE and their DREAMS of owning their own home. The joy is finding just the right home and listening to their stories....I love real estate and it is made sweeter by my daughter, Meg Burns Lietz being in the same office!
Full circle, full heart!

Working with Joan was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. She was an exceptional partner throughout the entire home-buying process. Professional, knowledgeable, and always one step ahead. Joan truly listened to what we were looking for and helped us find the perfect home. What stood out the most was her constant communication. Joan kept us informed every step of the way, promptly ...
Very pleased with our third time having Joan as our realtor who was very professional, knowledgeable and pleasant.
Joan was incredible. She went well beyond the call of duty throughout the entire process and provided invaluable help in navigating each issue that came up. I am extremely fortunate to have been able to work with her.
Joan Thank you for guiding us thru the tumultuous process of buying a new townhome, and in turn leading the sale of our two flat. You immediately understood us and what we were looking for. You guided us with grace and valued suggestions, while at the same time giving us the time and space to figure out those needs for ourselves. Your experience, knowledge, and assistance are greatly app...
This is a test from Joan's website
Joan was more than an agent for me.......she was a friend, so, I might be prejudiced in her favor. She bent over backward to meet my needs even before I knew what they were. She had the house cleaned AFTER the sale and called a "mouse specialist" to look for entry holes into the basement both at her OWN expense. Joan did more than I think the average agent would do just because of who sh...
Joan. I felt very safe asking you to sell my condo for me. I knew you would be honest, and that your would do your best, the fasted to get the best price for me. You did all of that, and got a good price. I couldn't believe how quickly you did it. Your neighbor, good friend, and happy customer. Verna wilson
Five stars for Joan Lencioni!! She was absolutely a delight to work with! She went above and beyond expectations in addressing all of the numerous details involved in a home sale. We are so grateful she was recommended to us by a friend!!
I'm so grateful to Joan Lencioni for selling my aunt's townhome after her dementia diagnosis and subsequent long-term care placement. The home was in disrepair and squalor - but Joan came in with a can-do, hopeful attitude. I had been embarrassed to have anyone in the place but Joan said, "I've seen worse," and we started the clean-up/clean out process. She knew what to do and who to ...
Joan was so helpful to us during this transition. We were selling our wonderful home and moving out of state. She helped organize us quickly and help us set our house for the perfect pictures. By the time she was done getting us to the point of selling we were second guessing our move as she made our home feel new again. We had a terrific partnership and she helped us sell our home in le...
We are thrilled about our new home! Thanks to Joan for being with us along the way. She found a home for us so quickly. She saved us so much time and hassle I’m this difficult market. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
Joan was a caring, creative professional from day one of contact with her. I can gratefully state that Joan went far beyond the basics to ensure that the sale of my home and the start of my transition went smoothly! Having lived in the same home for 23 years, the uprooting could have been much more difficult. Joan's knowledge, experience and kindness made the process of selling far easie...

Joan is a trusted, friendly & knowledgeable Broker.
Joan has a tremendous depth and breadth of real estate experience and is a joy to work with; she's patient, kind and we truly felt that she had our best interests in mind.
Joan has been more then our broker during this process she was(is) our friend. She always listened to what we wanted and delivered! Not only did she help sell our first home she helped us find the home we want to raise our family in. She went over and beyond any realtor we have ever worked with and we would highly recommend her!
Joan was great! She knows the market in St. Charles and keep us in the loop the entire process. I would highly recommend her.
We have made 3 previous home purchases knowing that they were not our "forever" homes. This last search was more difficult and time consuming due to our specific requirements in regards to price, location, and condition of the home, Although this purchase required nearly 2 years of searching, Joan stayed with us and was able to locate a home that suited all of our requirements. Thank you Joan.
Joan was able to find a list of homes that fit everything we wanted and only took one week to find our house!
Joan did great job walking us through every step of buying our first home. We could not be happier with the service provided.
Joan Lencioni was absolutely excellent. She knows the market well and I always felt that she had my best interests in mind. She was incredibly responsive and did a great job keeping me on track for the closing.
Thank you Joan for all your great help and wisdom through the looking/buying process. Through your expertise, you were able to identify and point out hazards or items (many hidden) that would prove to be costly to fix. And with the budget Mike and I had, this information proved invaluable. You were always there for us when we had, what I thought were crazy questions, and to talk Mi...

Neither snow, rain, heat or gloom of night deterred Joan from showing me homes. And what an adventure we had! She went out of her way to accommodate my work schedule. Her patience was deeply appreciated when I was overwhelmed. And her encouragement kept me going when I felt like giving up. She was spot on when she insisted I see one particular home that I wasn't keen on seeing because t...

My wife and I really enjoyed working with Joan. We were/are inexperienced purchasing real estate so having someone who knew the process and who we felt comfortable with was very reassuring. Through the entire process Joan was informative and we felt she always had our best interests in mind. She made sure we understood what was happening and always had time for our questions.

Working with Joan was a pleasant experience. She was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had on the property we were purchasing. If there is one thing I can tell you its that she truly cares about her clients. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
She is actually a 10. We have dealt with a number of agents and Joan is hands down the best in all areas.
Joan and Meg were awesome. I would highly recommend both of them.
I couldn't have asked for a better experience buying a new home than I had with Joan Lencioni! I moved back to the Fox Valley after 25 years away, and Joan helped me determine my needs, identify my preferred neighborhoods, and then zero in on the perfect home for me! I felt confident, relaxed, and prepared throughout the entire process, all thanks to Joan. She was intuitive about my tast...
