Joey is no stranger to Orcas Island. Her great-grandparents homesteaded a fruit farm in the historic Crow Valley, where her family still resides.
Joey left Orcas after graduating from High School, then returned to start a family. They relocated to Central Oregon, where they made a lifestyle of purchasing land, building, and landscaping custom homes. Joey recently returned to her island roots. Her knowledge of the island and the building process affords her valuable insight into the entire real estate endeavor. She is pleased to be back among friends and family in our unique community.
