Why Work With Us?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
Joe is a fantastic agent who performed professionally and was accessible to us when we needed questions answered. He provided excellent guidance on staging and we could tell he was an expert for the market in our neighborhood. We couldn't be more pleased with his work.

My fiancee and I are new to Providence and purchased our first home. Joe was attentive, communicative and guided us through every step of the home buying process. He was our advocate and always presented us with multiple solutions whenever problems - inevitably - arose. We felt empowered as buyers and in control the entire time, and as a result we now have the type of home, in the neighborhood and at the price point we wanted. Together, we accomplished our "best case scenario."

My wife and I just closed on our first home and couldn't be more excited. It took us some time to start the process, mainly because it felt pretty intimidating at first. Once we got connected with Joe however, any lingering anxiety quickly vanished. Joe is not only a consummate professional but is also very personable and easy to work with. He listens and communicates well and he quickly understood what we were looking for in our first home. He also demystified the search and buying process and made us feel empowered through every step of the way. He is knowledgeable, diligent and an overall joy to work with. When the time comes to search for our next home, we'll check in with Joe and his colleagues at Armory, post haste! Joe gets my highest possible recommendation. Hit him up!

I recently worked with Joe on the sale of my townhouse on the West Side of Providence. From start to finish, Joe really provided superior services and is probably the best agent I've ever worked with. Starting from the onset with "going to market" strategy, and then collaborating on pricing, he was very informed on the area and it was his expertise that led to a quick sale. He went above and beyond in our staging efforts, even bringing some of his own belongings from home and purchasing other items for the initial open house and showing. He's also a great communicator, letting you know where everything stands each step of the way, which I really appreciated. If you're looking for someone pleasant, professional, knowledgeable, and detail oriented, Joe is your guy.

Joe is a dream to work with. He knows the neighborhoods and the buying process inside and out, down to fine details of appraisal/value in a quickly shifting market. He is extremely knowledgeable, but never pushy; an amazing communicator; patient, detail-oriented; and always level-headed. Also, he is clearly well respected by other agents in the area (as I could see through interactions at open houses). I would never have even known my new home was coming on the market without his ear-to-the-ground local knowledge. Thanks so much Joe! You’re the best.

Joe just helped us buy our first home and he was INCREDIBLE throughout the entire experience. As first-time home buyers in a difficult market, Joe was patient, informative, dedicated and thoughtful. He is insanely knowledgeable and connected here in Rhode Island, and we felt like that worked really well in our favor as buyers. When we were ready to make an offer he provided the perfect amount of guidance without being pushy. We felt so confident and comfortable with him as our Realtor, and ended up with the PERFECT house for us. We could never have gone through this process without Joe's support and expertise. I truly can't recommend him enough.

Joe was/is a fantastic agent! He was very professional and never let any detail fall through the cracks—exactly what you want on your side. He's also a super funny guy with a great personal touch. I would recommend him to any and all of my friends

We cannot say enough great things about our experience with Joe!!! As first time homebuyers with a *very* limited knowledge of the process, working with the right Realtor was absolutely crucial. Joe picked up my first ever call to him on the second ring and was attentive, organized, and supportive throughout the entire process thereafter -- even scheduling a preliminary meeting to simply explain the home-buying process to us. Joe is deeply involved in the local community which made us feel even more secure working with him. He was also kind enough to introduce us to new neighbors during our home inspection and recommend activities and organizations on the West Side...Thank you for all you do.

I could not be happier to recommend Joe Roch! Joe helped us buy our first home and thoroughly prepared us for each step of the process -- which, for us, could have been very complicated, but Joe made it seamless. After years of our own research and five months of serious looking with Joe, we were surprised to find a small fixer-upper. The house was rough around the edges, and likely one of Joe's smallest sales of the year, but he stuck with us. Joe helped us learn about 203k renovation loans with the support of our mortgage lender and guided us through the extended paperwork and prolonged closing process required for the 203k. Most importantly, he was supportive without being pushy, he was cautious when needed, he gave us room to make our own decisions and he fairly presented all information at each stage. Furthermore, I feel completely spoiled by his ease of communication and availability -- always lightening fast to respond by phone or email with clear and thoughtful answers. Renovations began on our little dream home just after closing and we know we couldn't have done it without Joe! Or maybe we could have but it would have been terrible... We're thrilled to have found a perfect home for us and so thankful for Joe's guidance, support and expertise. By the time we closed we felt completely prepared and confident -- no buyer's remorse here.

I highly recommend Joe! My partner and I worked with him to buy a single-family house. The process was very smooth and basically painless. Joe was amazing at checking in with us, working with the other parties involved, and always did everything he said he would do (and more!) He gave us great advice about how to make our offer stand out and how to have our offer accepted — on a house which had multiple highly competitive bids on it. His special expertise in appraising properties was particularly helpful in coming up with and justifying an offer that we felt good about. I very much appreciated Joe's professionalism and organization: He laid out a sensible process from the beginning and did everything in an orderly, efficient, practical way. He knows the market really well, cares about his clients, and knows a lot about houses and real estate! Five stars across the board!
