Serving the communities of Oak Park, River Forest, Forest Park, Elmwood Park, Chicago, and the surrounding Chicagoland area
With almost two decades spent within Baird & Warner family, I know how important it is to work with a real estate professional that you can trust, and who will be your partner in achieving your real estate goals. I grew up in Oak Park and have lived in the Chicago Streeterville neighborhood as well as the western suburbs. My in depth knowledge of the area has assisted clients buy and sell homes throughout Chicagoland.
Buying or selling a property can be one of the most exciting and stressful events in life. With years of knowledge and acquired skills, I provide my clients with professional support, sincere understanding, and practical guidance through this important process. I love helping people move from one chapter of their lives to another, and I am honored to be a part of this life changing event.
I believe my ability to really listen to my clients and understand their goals has contributed to my success. When working with me, my clients understand that the experience is all about them. I always want my clients to feel that they had an incredible experience working with me. Since 2007 I have assisted over 300 individuals and families purchase or sell their properties. Seeing my clients happy and appreciative of my work is the reason I am in the business.
Working on the Baird & Warner foreclosure team was a tremendous learning experience for me. I also represent luxury clients and enjoy representing buyers and seller at all price points. I am proud to have represented both the purchase and sale of an architecturally significant Frank Lloyd Wright home.
I am excited for the opportunity to work with you and build a strong business relationship. My business model is based on trust and integrity. I hope that after we buy and/or sell your home, you are left with the feeling that you have a new friend and neighbor in me!

Saretta was professional, knowledgeable and above all patient. She worked with us for several years before we put our house on the market. When we were ready to sell, we moved out of state. She coordinated everything and we had four offers the first week. We highly recommend Saretta!
We love saretta Joyner she helped us sell my parents house in Maywood Illinois with me living in Iowa and my neices living in Georgia. She was fantastic and she kept us well informed about the process. I would recommend her to everyone
Saretta is amazing! We first worked with Saretta about 5 years ago to buy our home in Oak Park. She guided us through the entire process and was a great negotiator. When my husband got a job out-of-state, we worked with Saretta again to sell our home. We went ahead and moved to help make our house easier to show. Saretta went above and beyond, even helping clean ice melt off of our floor...

Saretta was absolutely amazing, I could not imagine a better Realtor, I have bought and sold two other houses and I had terrible experiences with the Realtors but this experience was the opposite. Saretta has a wealth of knowledge about the areas and if she doesn't know then she'll find out without skipping a beat. The communication was amazing, she responded to all of my ridiculous quer...

My experience with Saretta has been exceptional.

Was sensitive to my needs. Very explanatory when it came to buying/selling processes. Great knowledge and lots of experience selling in the area.
I'm very satisfied with working with Saretta Joyner from Baird & Warner. Extremely nice and professional. She did such a great job in helping me find my new home I requested to work with her again years later when I sold my home to move out of state. Buying/selling a home can be a stressful experience but I knew I could rely on Saretta throughout the process.
SARETTA was truly a professional she answered all our questions and even more. SARETTA Did not know either one of us but she treated us like family like she’s been knowing us all her life! MR.& Mrs Luarthur & LAVONE JOHNSON

Helped me get a renter, went very smoothly
I absolutely loved working with Saretta. She did an amazing job listing and selling my condo in River Forest.

Working with Saretta was painless. She has walked me through a purchase and a sale. I highly recommend her to anyone I know who is looking to buy/sell.
Saretta did a fantastic job selling my condo in River Forest. She got me multiple offers at or above full asking price BEFORE it even hit the MLS by talking to coworkers associates about my condo. Having the right realtor with the right connections in an area can make all the difference. If you own a house or condo in the Oak Park or River Forest area, I highly recommend you speak with Saretta.
Saretta did a fabulous job in representing me. I know how difficult it is to be a realtor ( I am a realtor in Indianapolis) . I am an out of state client which could make communicating difficult. Saretta representing me in renting my property and in listing and selling it. My renter was a challenging client, Saretta made sure that all paper work was completed and insured that my best...
Saretta is an expert realtor. She listens and addresses the concerns of her client from both a pragmatic and empathetic perspective. She is also timely and consistent with communication which was valuable due to being physically absent as I relocated to a different state while the home was for sale.

I'm very pleased with Saretta's handling of the listing and sale of my home in Lombard, and hoping for an opportunity to refer a friend to her one of these days.
Ms. Joyner is a professional with the ability to make a seemingly complicated endeavor a pleasant one. She put me at ease from the outset and definitely had my interests in mind.
I cannot recommend Saretta highly enough. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional. She was extremely helpful throughout the selling process. I always felt as though she was on top of things.
Saretta was so helpful and so knowledgeable. She had so much patience with me. It was a wonderful experience to work with her.
Saretta went above and beyond. We had interest in the house a day or two before we were ready to show it and she made runs to the alley with me to clean some things out and make the house presentable. She's very professional and also genuinely kind. It's nice to work with someone who cares about their clients.

Was incredibly satisfied with Saretta's professionalism and negotiation skills, will use her again on our next sale / purchase.
Saretta has helped us with the purchase of several investment properties and now with renting a unit in one of those purchases. She has done whatever was needed to ensure that the transaction went smoothly.
The things that were most valued by me were 1. Saretta's professionalism. She dealt with a sticky situation involving me, the heir, and the Estate Administrator is a smooth, simple and professional way. 2. Saretta had solutions/suggestions for all my issues and problems. This was a big relief, since I was not from the area. She also pushed me in the gentlest yet gentlest way p...

Saretta was very professional and courteous. She actually gave me valuable information I was not aware of. I am very glad to have met her and thanks to her I was able to rent the property. She was very quick at returning my call when I first inquired about the property and kept in touch with me once she showed the property to me. She is the best agent I have dealt with in my search for a...
