Meet Joanna
I’m Joanna Chen—Taiwan-born, South Africa-raised, and now happily settled in Walnut Creek with my two amazing kids and my husband, who bravely commutes 100 miles a day to Newark. Yes, you read that right—100 miles! If that doesn’t make him a road warrior, I don’t know what does.
Shortly after moving to Walnut Creek, I jumped into the fast-paced world of corporate America, joining a global commercial real estate powerhouse.
What followed was an exhilarating two-year journey filled with high-stakes negotiations, rapid deals, and dynamic market shifts—keeping me sharp and always ready for the next challenge.

Throughout my career, I’ve loved bringing people together—whether it’s sparking collaborations, forging connections, or simply introducing the right people at the right time. So, it’s no surprise that my next adventure is in residential real estate, where I get to do exactly that—but with a deeper, more personal touch!
Now, I’m using my platform and audience to support and promote local businesses within the incredible community I’ve chosen to raise my children in. And the best part? I finally have the time and energy to give back, champion local businesses, and help families find their perfect place to call home.
So, whether you’re looking for the perfect manicure spot, a reliable home contractor, or a new front door altogether—I’ve got you covered! Connecting you with the best resources to make life a little easier (and a lot more fabulous!).
