Joe is the absolute best! He sold my house fast. It was a very easy process which was important to me. He took care of everything. We then looked for a house with very specific guidelines of what we wanted. He would not let us buy something he didn't think was right for us. We always had faith he wasn't just interested in making a quick commission. The thing we liked best was his patience. We were not always the easiest to work with. We were often late to showings and very indecisive and he never seemed annoyed by that. When we finally found the home we were going to buy he was able to save us some money off the price. Overall he is a great guy who is honest and a very hard worker. You will not regret working with him. We love our new home.

Joe was amazing to work with. I was a first time home buyer and he educated and supported me from start to finish. He was easy to get a hold and worked around my schedule. The words I use to describe him to friends are honest, hard-working, and committed. My experience working with Joe was so great I give his name to anyone I hear is looking to buy or sell.

I have bought 3 homes in my lifetime, and used a different agent each time. I was absolutely amazed at how Joe handled the process. The most meaningful takeaway I had was the fact that he was always willing to point out reasons why I may NOT want to buy a particular home based on our discussions of what I was looking for. I think it is very commonplace for agents to push the sale anytime their clients show interest in place. That's how they get paid. Joe sees the bigger picture and wants his clients to be completely happy with the transaction long term. This is why I recommend him to others and will use him in the furture. Of course, it is also noteworthy that he was extremely diligent and smart with the SALE of our previous house. He was able to position it properly to sell fast.

My wife and I purchased a home with Joe's assistance in April 2015.

Having limited experience before the process began, we were very cautious in our approach. Joe took his time to educate us and was EXTREMELY PATIENT as we learned the process for ourselves. Specifically, as our requirements evolved, Joe was flexible to accommodate these vastly changing prerequisites. Moreover, Joe was very candid about the marketplace and his FULL TRANSPARENCY APPROACH was very reassuring throughout.

I don't write reviews often...if ever. But, I wanted to make sure to do so for Joe. Buying a home can be one of the most stressful, time consuming and frustrating events we can go through. Please trust me when I tell you that if you use Joe, he will be as much of a friend, as he is your agent. (And, if you've been through the process before, you know exactly how important that can be).

Lastly, everyone wants to get the best deal possible, whether buying, or selling. Perhaps Joe's best trait, (Besides his patience, market knowledge and general likeability), is the fact he is VERY HONEST and will not only get you the best deal possible, but he will have an open book policy regarding all of his actions.

If you are "shopping" for agents, please do yourself a favor and call him.
Next time we buy/sell, I wouldn't consider calling anyone else.

I hope you trust me and this honest review.

Respectfully,

Scott A.

Using Joe honestly made me feel like I had a friend as my real estate agent. He always made himself available to answer my many questions, and always sounded happy to do so. His passion for wanting to sell my condo, AND get me the BEST price, created a trusting partnership that will certainly carry over to my future transactions. If you are in the market for a the most knowledgeable, most reliable, and most trustworthy agents, then look no further! Thanks again Joe!

My Husband and I were very impressed with the American Realty Group and the help that they provided during our search for an affordable home. We recommend them to anyone who is challenged by the "home buying" experience - as we were. Thanks to the helpful and knowledgeable staff at ARG, we are successful home-owners. Thanks again, all of you!

Joe was very knowledgeable and he did a great job of guiding me through a pretty complicated process. I would certainly recommend Joe to others and I'd be more than happy to work with him again. Overall, a great experience.

LoPiccolo has represented me in multiple RE transactions as a list agent and as a buyer's agent. Each time, Joe has shown incredible market expertise, negotiated a great deal, and has made the complex transactions simple, organized, and smooth. Joe has demonstrated honesty and is always prompt to reply and prompt to view houses. He eats, drinks, and sleeps real estate and i am pretty sure he works 24 hours, 7 days a week. In addition to being a great RE broker with incredible availability, Joe is a likable guy and my family and I enjoy spending time with him throughout the real estate transaction processes. There is no question that Joe is the best in the business and he has earned my continued business.

I had nothing but the best experience with Joe. He was able to work with my price range and gave me a ton of options. This was my first house purchase so I was a little nervous about the whole thing, but Mr. LoPiccolo was there from beginning to end to help me with the process. I highly recommend using this company , and I am sure I will on my next home purchase.

We have had the opportunity to work with Joe several times; buying our first home, selling that home, and buying our new home. We could not have been happier with our experience working with Joe. He is professional, knowledgeable and accessible. We recommend him to everyone! If you are in the market for a home or looking to sell yours, call Joe LoPiccolo. You will not find a better agent!

Joe helped us find and buy our new home which we love! We were extremely impressed with his knowledge and advice! He was very helpful especially when looking for potential problems that could cause future expenses. His knowledge of the local subdivisions and the market is second to none. We feel that Joe went above and beyond in all aspects of our experience and we will always recommend Joe to both family and friends.

The owner, Joe, helped me during the entire home purchasing process and was extremely helpful and knowledgeable to all of our questions. Purchasing a new home is a big decision and we were made to feel comfortable with our decision. I would highly recommend using American Realty Group to anyone in the pursuit of a new home. I'll be calling them again if we ever decide to move.

Joe is by far the best real estate agent I have ever worked with. Joe is so incredibly knowledgeable and helpful in the home buying and selling process. Everyone at American Realty Group is so great to talk to. He's so great about explaining each and every phase of the buying/selling process. He makes sure nothing slips through the cracks and the transaction goes so smoothly! Joe takes the time to know each of his clients, their likes and dislikes, their price range, etc. and he never pushes anything on you that you're not interested in or can't afford. Joe is so patient and kind. I recommend working with Joe and the American Realty Group team for any home buying, selling or renting transaction.

From start to finish Joe LoPiccolo and his company did a fantastic job for us. He provided us with valuable information in a professional way and found us the house that we love. In more cases than not, Joe went out of his way for us. He was available 24 - 7 and always answered his phone. Joe went to the inspections, the final walk through with us, he was at the closing. This speaks for itself and and was just a Fantastic person to do business with. I will always use Joe when I have any real estate needs and I recommend him to everyone that I know as I know from experience, Joe will take care of them.

Because of Joe's experience, knowledge and resources he sold our house in about a week for more than we thought we could get. Joe LoPiccolo is the best real estate agent in the area and we are forever grateful for his services.

Best experience ever!!!! Working with Joe was a wonderful experience. I'd highly recommend using his services. His knowledge and service was superior. I will be using him again when we need to find another home. If you need to buy or sell a home..... Call Joe

Whether you are selling or buying, you have to call Joe. He sold our condo in 6 days. He was honest and upfront about what we needed to do to get it to sell fast and what it needed to be priced at. He was so patient with us when it took us 8 months to find the perfect house. He knows the neighborhoods, he knows the market. Joe would not let us buy a property that was not worth the price or was not a good investment for us in the future. The buying process was effortless, Joe made it so easy. The guy knows his stuff....call him!

We are first time home buyers and our experience with Joe was nothing short of outstanding. Not only did he help us find the perfect house for us, he negotiated a great deal for us. I had a many conversations with him and I knew I could fully trust him. We are new at this and Joe has had years of experience, so Joe was the perfect agent for us. When we were looking at houses and negotiating offers I felt comfortable asking "What do you think?" and I knew I could trust his responses. And he wasn't ever afraid to shoot it strait and tell us exactly like it is; I respect that ... A LOT. What meant the most to us was that I know he had our best interests in mind at all times and was looking out for us through the process. It's tough to find loyalty like that these days. I can tell you this much ... We bought our first house with him and we'll buy our next one from him too!

Joe has been a trusted resource for our family since 2011. He helped my husband and I find the perfect starter home in South City as newlyweds, and when it came time to upgrade to something bigger (after having two babies), there was no question who we would call. Joe patiently guided us through the process of finding our "forever" home in Chesterfield. He was always available to answer questions, show us houses, and give use honest feedback. He had an unbelievably way of making us feel like we were his most important clients. He not only helped us buy two homes, but he also helped us sell our first home in only a week! He gave us great tips on how to make our house appealing to buyers, and we were thrilled with the price we got! Joe's years of experience in the business make him an obvious choice when looking for a realtor. We could not be more please with our experience with him!

We just finalized our second home purchase and first house sell with Joe. Joe was a referral from a friend when we were looking to buy our first home. They had a ton of great things to say about Joe, and I was a huge skeptic about real estate agents in general. From the first time we meet, he was nothing but honest and truthful. He knew how to deal with a first time home buyer and guide us and help us in making the best decision. When we needed to move, I couldn't think of using a different agent. During the process of selling our fist home, and buying our second home, he treated us differently than a first time buyer, and respected our experiences. He was still nothing but respectfully and we felt that he was 100% an advocate for us!! He truly is an incredible agent and gives everything to his client. He has sold to 2 of my closet friends, and we would all recommend him to anyone that asked.

We attempted to sell our house by owner for a couple of months without any success. We finally decided to use a realtor and a friend suggested we contact Joe at American Realty Group. Joe sold our house in about two weeks. Joe’s experience during the selling price negotiations with our buyer proved to be invaluable. He was always quick to answer our questions and offered great advice.

I Never thought it would be this easy to sell a house. Straight forward and flawless transaction. Great to work with. Coordinated all the repairs needed and was able to complete all paper work prior to closing over email/phone/web. He Certainly over delivered in every aspect of the process... Including price.

Joe is an extremely helpful and knowledgeable real estate agent. Most importantly, he was able to get my wife and I into the kind of house we wanted. We had tried and failed multiple times to get a similar home in the same neighborhood when we were using another agent, but Joe was able to get a deal done for us. I highly recommend Joe if you are looking to buy or sell a home.

A very tragic and unfortunate situation caused us to sell our home that we loved very much. We had a lot on our plates, a lot to figure out, and a great deal to work out to make a move 2 states away, and Joe was simply wonderful. Just a fantastic resource. Trusted friend. Great experience!!! Thank you so much!

Joe was awesome, this was my first experience with purchasing a home and he really understood that and helped me feel comfortable. I actually was working with a different agent first and contacted Joe after I felt dissatisfied with the first agent.

Joe responded to my request to see a house within hours, and helped set up a showing for the very next day. We were on a tight schedule since my GF was living out of town at the time and could not visit often.

Throughout the whole process Joe made it very simple to understand all the ins and outs, he answered all my questions thoroughly and helped me understand whatever I was confused about. He knew the areas and gave me great advice as far as resale value, rental potential, safety, and more.

Every time I needed to get a hold of Joe he always responded within hours, and was never impatient with me. He made it easy to see houses and made it easy to feel comfortable with him and that he was on my side in this process.

His negotiation skills were excellent as well, he really helped me get a steal on my house and helped make the closing process as smooth and easy as possible.

I know this is only my first time buying a home, but I did deal with another agent and can honestly say Joe was FAR superior. I would absolutely recommend Joe to any prospective home buyer, new or otherwise!

I've worked with Joe on and off since he sold my house in one week in 2010! I was ready to buy again in late 2014 and he patiently showed me whatever house I wanted to look at and tactfully told me about some houses that I should walk away from. He's personal knowledge around the general cost of improvements helped me make some decisions as to what I could change and what I couldn't in existing houses. I purchased a home earlier in 2015 and love it! He's been in contact me with post purchase to make sure that all is well! I highly recommend him to potential buyers and sellers as I've worked with him on both sides of the process.

Joe did a great job finding us our dream home! He did a great job anticipating what we wanted and needed, we would not have found this house without him!

Joe was great from start to finish. He was always available to work around our busy schedules. He is very knowledgeable about what to look for and what to stay away from when selecting a home. He always promptly returned my calls and answered all my questions and concerns. He was on top of the game from making an offer to closing on the home.

Joe represented us in the sale of our home and the purchase of our new home. He was timely and responsive when we reached out to him. Communication is key. So, this was important to us. Buying and selling a home can be stressful at times. However, Joe made us feel at ease every step of the way. He offered his advise and expertise to help us make important decisions during both transactions. He remained patient as we navigated through. When a problem came up in the 11th hour with our buyer, outside of Joe's control, he quickly worked with the buyer's agent to resolve the matter and get us to the closing table. I would recommend Joe to anyone who needs representation to buy or sell a home!

Joe is the absolute best! We bought our first home with him and recommended him to a number of friends who also worked with and loved Joe. Almost 8 years later and he helped us sell our starter home and move into the perfect fit for our family. He is so great as someone who knows the StL area so well, he is always easy to get in touch with and is a real advocate for what is best for his clients. You can't go wrong with Joe as your realtor!

Background:
My wife and I moved to St Louis for her new position with SSM Health and affiliated hospitals. We saw a house for sale that we liked and saw Joe was the listing agent. I called Joe asking if he could show us the house and represent us as our buyer's agent. We didn't end up getting that house but closed on another house that we found with Joe's help.

Review:
I have been hesitant of realtors because I didn't feel like my realtors did enough based on my past experiences with home buying. I was proven VERY VERY wrong by Joe. The rest of this review will sound like a sales pitch but he earned every little but of it. He is definitely one of the most easy going, dependable, knowledgeable, and dedicated realtors I have come across. We were in St Louis for the weekend and I called Joe on a Fri evening asking him to show us houses. We ended up seeing 30 houses over the next day and a half and didn't love any of them. We told Joe we would be back in 3 weeks and he was in contact with us ahead of time sending us links to houses he thought would work out for us (not the auto-generated MLS criteria search listings). He is very knowledge with regards to home construction based on all his renovation experience and he knows St Louis and the surrounding areas very well. My wife and I were very focused on the Ballwin area and he helped level set us on houses when it seemed like we were letting emotions get the best of us by talking through true costs of ownership based on various fixes that he could foresee in the near future. He was 100% committed to helping us find the perfect house at the best value and less worried about just getting us in a house and moving on. He was available ALL the time through the phone and was more than willing to meet us if we went to a random open house and liked what we saw. My wife and I decided to put an offer on the house in the final 50 minutes (multiple offer situation with a deadline) and Joe drafted the contract right away and sent it to us to sign. Once our offer got accepted my wife and I headed back to Columbus Ohio for 6 weeks so my wife could deliver our daughter and we could spend her 6 weeks of FMLA with our family in Columbus. Joe handled EVERYTHING for us back in St Louis. We wanted to get the house painted and get new carpet. Joe was there to meet all the contractors and show them the house while we were out of state. He scheduled the contractors so they would start working as soon as we closed on the house. Our house closed on a Monday and we drove straight to our new house the following Sunday (6 days later) and it was fully painted and new carpet was installed on the entire upper level. He helped us pick paint color & style as well as carpet specs based on his renovation experience. He stopped by the house almost daily AFTER closing sending me pictures/face timing the progress by the contractors and stayed in touch with the contractors to make sure the work got done. My wife and I were a bit nervous because we never physically saw the paint color or carpet that Joe recommended but when we entered the house everything looked amazing.

My wife and I cant say enough good things about Joe. He made it feel like a family member of ours was looking over everything for us while we were out of state. On multiple occasions my wife asked me if Joe had any other clients. That's a true testament to his commitment and dedication as Joe was handling multiple clients and business ventures at the same time. As long as Joe was involved we didn't worry about anything. He focused on EVERYTHING related to the house so we could focus our time on moving from Columbus and spending time with our newborn. Thank you for everything Joe!

Joe is extremely down to earth and really looks out for his clients. My fiance and I were first time home buyers, and he helped us every step of the way making sure we didn't overpay and got a good starter home. Joe is very friendly and responded to our (many) questions in a timely manner. Will definitely recommend to others!

Joe is awesome! He helped us through a long, laborious building process. He continued to update us regularly, and constantly stood up for us. We love Joe not just for his work with us, but because of his amazing character. He would easily be my first recommendation for realty services.

Joe is absolutely an amazing agent! My wife and I were first time home buyers and about as clueless as you can only imagine. He patiently explained everything in ways that we could understand it and also negotiated the price down on our home with the closing costs being covered. He was very quick to respond to any questions also. We went through quite a few homes and he was sure to ask questions about our likes and dislikes which ultimately led to finding our perfect home quicker than we had thought we would. Overall, we would recommend strongly that you contact Joe and have him help you on your process.

Joe was a pleasure to work with. We were first time home buyers and Joe quickly answered all of our questions and concerns. Response time was excellent. He’s very personable and down to earth. We had unusual closing setbacks, of no fault to Joe, and he kept us informed every step of the way.

Our experience with Joe has been top notch from start to finish. He made our lives through out the whole process non stressful and encouraging. He always answered his phone day or night for questions and/or concerns.

Joe LoPiccolo was nothing short of outstanding!! As first time homeowners, Joe had patience with us, taught us about the house hunting experience and provided us pros and cons of each place we looked at!! Joe has an outstanding personality and is very easy to talk to and makes you feel comfortable during a stressful situation!! Joe was nothing less than superior as realtor and as a person and we HIGHLY recommend that you use Joe as your realtor and when I need a realtor in the future, Joe is our first call!

I can't say enough. Joe really went the extra mile for us when selling our home. When we decided to sell, Joe came to meet with us. He gave us direction on how to prepare the home to get the best possible price. He was very creative in marketing our home to show it at its best. When we listed, we sold very quickly. After signing the contract we had some issues arise. Joe was wonderful at helping us get the information we needed to resolve the situation and move to closing. Buying and selling a home can be stressful. Have the right person to help you walk through the process can make a big difference. We will definitely use Joe again in the future.

Joe was a huge help during this very exciting (and stressful!) time! We are first time home buyers and so the whole process was very new to us. Joe made it so much easier for us because he was up front and honest about the conditions of the home and what to expect in the long term with maintenance and up-keep. He always made sure to find the best homes in our price range and to work his schedule to fit ours with open homes and getting appointments when needed. We are now so happy in our new home and we couldn’t have done it without his help!

It was clear from the beginning Joe worked for me and not the seller or the lender. He pointed out things I missed and made sure my new home was issue free and move in ready, as well as pointed out what would have a better resale value.

My mortgage lender recommended and linked me up with Joe for help purchasing a house. From start to finish Joe was an absolute professional. He was helpful, responsive, and respectful throughout the entire process. I can’t imagine going through it without his help.

Joe was an awesome real estate agent he was helpful when we need him
he didn't hesitate to show us properties when needed. I would recommend him to anyone interested in seeking a agent. he has above 5 stars in my book.
My husband and I were truly bless.

Without a doubt the best real estate agent I have ever had the privilege to work with. Helpful and knowledgeable at every step in the process. Very willing to go that extra mile.

Joe is possibly the best you can find. He has an immense amount of knowledge regarding the types of homes in the region, what to look for, and well informed opinions on what is a good/bad purchase. Comes with the highest of recommendations. Thank you, Joe!

Joe is Amazing. We were moving from Virginia to Missouri and he worked with our schedules coming into town along with the delays we encountered with getting our house ready to sell. If we ever decide to move from our dream home that he helped us fine, Joe will be the first person I call.

Joe went above and beyond for me. As a first time home buyer, he made the process so seamless and easy to understand while offering his professional opinion along the way. He was always responsive and easy to contact. I will work with him again!

Joe went above and beyond helping me find a home. I was relocating from out of state and he offered to pick me up from the airport and drive 40 minutes to the city where I was searching. He also bought me lunch! He was very patient and never once pressured me to buy a home I didnt like. He answered all my questions in a timely manner and stayed with me through the closing process. I cannot recommend him enough and was very lucky to have him as my real estate agent. I know I will be going back to him when I need to sell my home.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Joe was very helpful throughout our home buying process. We were living out of state but looking to purchase a house for when we moved to the area. There were many times when we would ask Joe to look at a house for us and he would send us very detailed photos of these houses. He provided us with many options that fit what we were looking for, and when we came down to Illinois to look at the houses he was very kind and spent the entire day with us showing us around. Joe is very knowledgeable about the local area which we appreciated since we weren't familiar with it. He is also a great listener and a quick responder and he gets things done in a timely manner. Could not say enough good things about him!

Joe patiently went to more than 10 houses in one night with us because we weren't sure what we wanted. He took the time we needed as first time home buyers and made himself available every time we asked. He even ended up finding the house we fell in love with and bought. He stayed in communication with us throughout the entire process and was very helpful to the very end. If you're in the market, Joe is an excellent and dependable resource to get you through the process!

Joe was absolutely amazing during this time. We are first time home buyers and he caught things we didn't even think was going to be an issue. He was always available to answer questions and always kept us updated. All in all just an amazing house hunting experience. If we ever decide to sell we are hoping he is still around and willing to help us again.

I'm very happy to have worked with Joe LoPiccolo on my recent home purchase. He is highly responsive and worked very hard to get the best possible deal for me at the closing table.

Joe is an exceptional realtor. He put our interests and the ethics of home buying above all else. He listened to our wants and delivered well over our expectations. His advice and recommendations were above reproach. We secured Joe to find us a home and he delivered our dream.
