From Eastern Oregon to Coastal Dreams: A Journey to the Pacific

As a fourth-generation Oregonian, Joan Davies spent most of her life in eastern Oregon, but the central Oregon coast always held a special place in her heart. After years of summer trips to the coast, Joan finally realized her dream of coastal living just over two years ago, first moving to Waldport and then settling in the charming community of Yachats, where she now lives just a block from the sea cliff. With her deep Oregon roots and passion for coastal living, Joan brings a unique perspective to helping clients find their own slice of paradise along the central Oregon coast.

Extensive Real Estate Experience Across Oregon

Joan's real estate journey began in late 2006 when she obtained her broker license. Through a reciprocal agreement between Oregon and Idaho, she was able to help clients in both states, demonstrating her adaptability and commitment to serving diverse markets. After gaining valuable experience, Joan earned her principal broker's license in 2010 and established her own business, Joan Davies Real Estate, based in Burns, Oregon.

Throughout her career, Joan has assisted clients with residential properties and acreages across a wide geographic area—from Burns to Prineville to Canby—always going the extra mile to support her clients through every step of the real estate process. Her experience in various Oregon communities gives her a comprehensive understanding of the state's diverse real estate markets and the unique considerations of each region.

"Falling asleep to the sound of crashing waves is something that everyone should be able to have in their lives – let me find you a home on the coast!"

Client-Focused Approach: Going Above and Beyond

What truly sets Joan apart is her unwavering dedication to her clients' needs and her willingness to go above and beyond to ensure their satisfaction. A perfect example of her exceptional service is when she once showed 23 houses in four cities over a three-day weekend to an older couple from Colorado who were looking to move closer to their son.

After they returned home, the couple spotted a house in the newspaper that caught their attention. Joan personally walked through the property, describing each room to them via cell phone (before video tours were common), and they trusted her judgment enough to make an offer without seeing the home themselves. Their confidence in Joan speaks volumes about her ability to understand clients' preferences and provide honest, reliable guidance.

"We trust you. After showing us 23 houses, you know exactly what we like and don't like."

Discovering the Magic of the Central Oregon Coast

Joan's personal connection to the central Oregon coast makes her the perfect guide for those looking to discover this stunning region. Having spent summers exploring the area before making it her permanent home, she understands both the tourist perspective and the day-to-day realities of coastal living.

The central Oregon coast offers a unique blend of natural beauty and charming communities. Yachats (pronounced "YAH-hots"), where Joan now resides, is a sleepy town with fewer than 700 residents that's known for its rugged coastline where waves crash against dramatic black basalt rock formations. Located at the base of the Oregon Coast Range along the Pacific, it's home to beautiful hotels, artist galleries, gift shops, and hiking trails at the gorgeous Cape Perpetua Scenic Area.

Just a short drive away, Waldport offers miles of sandy ocean beaches, forest roads, hiking trails, wilderness areas, and an ever-changing picturesque bay. It's known for its beautiful scenery and delicious food, with attractions including the Alsea Bay Bridge Interpretive Center and Governor Patterson State Park. The relative obscurity of Waldport is part of its charm – a quiet city on the beautiful Oregon Coast offering miles of unspoiled beaches and excellent fishing opportunities.
