Joan Hynes Selby
Real Estate Agent (Salesperson)
San Diego - CA

With over two decades of experience at American Airlines followed by a successful real estate career that began in 2002, this agent has cultivated a deep understanding of the importance of exceptional customer service and effective communication. By viewing clients as partners in the real estate journey, she emphasizes active listening to identify their needs and preferences, fostering a collaborative decision-making process. Her commitment to client satisfaction not only ensures repeat business but also generates valuable referrals, which are a significant aspect of her success. Known for her calm demeanor under pressure, she recognizes the emotional and stressful nature of buying or selling a home. She often incorporates humor to ease tension, creating a more enjoyable experience. Above all, she prioritizes honesty and transparency in all transactions.

Her real estate journey began as a buyer’s agent for a leading producer in La Jolla, providing her with invaluable insights into the buyer's perspective. This experience enhances her ability to serve sellers effectively, particularly in preparing homes for the market and potentially reducing costs. Additionally, she brings 20 years of personal real estate investment experience, having owned and managed various properties alongside her husband, including both multi-unit and single-family residences.

On a personal note, her retirement from American Airlines has afforded her family the opportunity to explore diverse destinations worldwide. She has two young adult children and a large extended family residing in the San Diego area. Inspired by her children’s interests, she has become actively involved in the local theater community in both San Diego and Orange County, where one of her children pursued higher education.
