Led by CEO/Owner Joan Herlong, Joan Herlong & Associates Sotheby’s International Realty understands that your home is more than bricks and mortar.

Joan brings a wealth of expertise and wit in her debut non-fiction book, “As Is: An Insider’s Guide to Real Estate.” She draws back the curtain on the world of real estate — shedding light on the process, ensuring your home shines.
