Global Real Estate Advisor

GET TO KNOW ME

Born and raised in Texas, Joy Rice isn’t shy when it comes to tough contract negotiations. Her entrepreneurial spirit and natural ability to produce win-win opportunities regardless of the circumstances make her a driving force in real estate.
 
Joy’s extraordinary vision combined with her wealth of knowledge in contract negotiations, new home construction, divorce properties, and flair for exquisite home staging has positioned her as a leader in the industry. Having sold more than 400 homes representing $130 million in volume, Joy has nineteen years of proven success at a high level. By partnering with Briggs Freeman Sotheby's International Realty, Joy provides her clients the marketing exposure their homes deserve with local, national, and global reach.
 
Joy agrees that a home purchase is one of the largest financial investments a person will make in a lifetime. She states that because the greatest percentage of a person's wealth is invested in real estate, 'It's important to hire an experienced Real Estate Agent with the skills and negotiating power to easily get the job done within your budget and time frame. Experienced agents help you keep more money in your pocket and avoid problems that can derail your dreams.'
 
Many of her clients agree that Joy is a bold Real Estate Agent and a necessary advocate to win in the competitive home buying and selling market. She will move mountains to make the home sale process as seamless and convenient as possible and treat everyone as if they are personal family and friends. 'When someone chooses me to represent them, my number one responsibility and priority is to educate, coach, and counsel so they can make the best decision for them. Placing my focus first on the people and second on the home, builds a bond of trust, unity, and teamwork for every home sale transaction. The blessings are immeasurable.
 
Joy is the proud mom of Reagan, her 28-year-old son who proudly served our country as a United States Marine (2011-2017). Currently, he is a First Responder Firefighter/EMT and a member of the Mountain Rescue team in Rio Rancho, NM. In July 2019, Reagan and the entire Rice family welcomed a healthy baby boy, Elijah, into the world. “We are truly honored and thankful to our awesome and loving God for this precious gift He placed in our care. What a joy!”
 
In her free time, Joy keeps an active lifestyle. She is often found trail running with her Vizslas Julian' and 'Austyn', weight training, cooking, entertaining, spending time with family and friends, and attending and volunteering at Gateway Church in Southlake. Joy says the most important aspect of her personal and professional life is her dedication to running her business in a way that pleases and brings honor to God.

My wife and I could not be happier with our experience dealing with Joy to buy our first home together. Our utmost gratitude and thanks go out to Joy for the magic she worked in order to get us into our home. Even though we were fairly new to Texas, our search criteria were quite specific and limited to the small area of Northwood Hills in North Dallas. To say the least, it was going to be a challenge. I...

My husband and I relocated to Flower Mound from California. We had very limited knowledge of the area. Prior to making the move to Texas, we connected with Joy. Thank goodness we did. Having Joy spend time with us (even long-distance) and really listen to what we were thinking about for a home, helped us focus on neighborhoods and places that suited us. We came out for a weekend to visit homes. Joy spent...

We wanted the best service and the most expertise for this move.
