I can’t enter because I am one of the judges.

I got the picture of the power lines in Central Illinois. It was a very lucky shot as it was taken from the car window. I wasn’t driving but we were going about 70 at the time. I focused and put my camera in burst mode. Burst mode comes in handy. It works for capturing sporting events and some times in low light situations, or when taking photos from a moving car.

My daughter recommended Joe Spake and I’m glad she did. Both the houses I had available sold. Joe was able to find good buyers for both houses and got the best price possible. I felt he was honest, fair and is very knowledgeable in real estate.

It was great working with Joe. He's extremely knowledgeable of the Memphis Midtown market as well as a knowledge of what makes an old home tick. He was extremely instrumental in getting a long list of inspection items cleared in order to have a quick closing. We would highly recommend Joe!

Joe was great to deal with...very efficient and to the point, as well as humorous, when appropriate. He knew exactly how to price the house and it sold very quickly. His help in getting the many details taken care of was amazing. Thanks, Joe

Joe was always available for any questions and viewings. Super informed, and knew midtown inside out. I always felt confident with his recommendations and advice. Thanks again!

Thanks, Joe for being such a great help in buying our condo!If you are considering buying or selling in Memphis, give Joe Spake a try. He knows what he is doing, knows all the people, knows all the tricks, and is very honest with you. Sometimes telling you things you may not want to hear. Joe makes the buying process easy, explains every detail along the way, so you know exactly where you are in the process. Thanks again, Joe!

You should definitely work with Joe! We decided to work with him after meeting him when he handled my sister's home purchase. I appreciated his experience, candor, and approach. He knows the Midtown area well and was both patient with us and insightful as we looked at a number of properties in the area.

Joe knows Midtown! We loved working with him from the start--he's truly a professional but breaks everything down for you. While preparing our house for the market, he was patient with us and worked out a strategy for us. Once we left town, he took care of everything--it was complete piece of mind. The result? Not only the easiest real estate transaction we've ever had, but also the quickest! The house sold for more that we thought it could in a flash. My only regret--our move halfway across the country means that Joe can't help us find a new home! Wish we could have taken him with us! :)

Joe is extremely knowledgeable about the midtown area! I worked with him to begin looking for my first home and was impressed with how thorough he was on each showing. He helped me look for important details in the older homes I was drawn to and gave me helpful insights about the construction and potential setbacks of each property. I had a seamless closing and absolutely love my new home. Will definitely call Joe for future real estate needs.

Joe is more than a realtor: he is a human encyclopedia of what you need to know about neighborhoods, houses, and quirks in construction or functions--all dispensed with candor and humor. He was an honest, patient, and delightful collaborator in ensuring my finding place I love to live. New to the state and slightly less than organized, I benefited greatly from Joe's knowledge of Memphis and tenacious attention to detail.
