About

Hi! I’m Joy Whitney Guttenberg, broker/owner of Joyful Properties, Inc. In addition to working with buyers and sellers all over Staten Island, we are the exclusive listing broker for Staten Island's premier renovation contractor, Dobrev Homes, who offers dozens of gorgeously renovated houses every year. I am honored to work in such an incredibly fun and exciting business, and I am eager to share all of my experience and knowledge with my new home buyers and sellers!

As a native New York-er, I am truly passionate about helping people find and purchase their own little slice of NYC. Since leaving Manhattan for Staten Island in 2008, I have had the pleasure of helping many other Staten Island transplants make a home and life for themselves here.

Staten Island is a fantastic city, full of history and rich in culture, and each house tells its own story. I love nothing more than exploring these bits of history and creating new experiences and stories for people, and I look forward to many, many more!

I had the pleasure of working with Joy as we recently purchased one of her listings
She was available for questions 24/7 and her responses were sent quickly.
Even though she acted as the Sellers Agent she truly made us feel as if we were her clients too and above that friends as well.
Her personality is always positive and upbeat. She also provided ample information and her personal contacts for brokers, lawyers and inspectors, whom we used as well and everyone was professional and great to work with.
I would recommend anyone who is looking for an agent to use Joy as she made the process from start to finish a wonderfull experience.

In all honesty Joy has been a remarkable agent throughout the entire home buying process! She was dedicated, informative and very receptive! We searched for a while before we found "THE" house and through it all she was very supportive, patient, and always willing! She is very clear, direct and a true "go getter " . Her referrals were amazing! She referred a great lawyer and mortgage broker who worked hard and quick to help us get our dream home! They were professional and precise! Together they really were the "dream team!" Thanks to Joy, we are home owners!! I will definitely recommend Joy and the referrals she provided to all of my family and friends.

Joy Guttenberg! Agent Extraordinaire!
I just relocated to Staten Island from Brooklyn; it would not have been possible without Joy's help. Not only is she a total professional, she is a real person that you can trust. She delivers what she promises on time, can come up with imaginative solutions to all your problems and needs, but she never tries to pressure you.

If you are thinking of real estate in Staten Island. She is your go to person. 100%. You will not be disappointed.

Joy has been a pleasure to work with. She was professional, informative, thorough and extremely supportive as throughout the buying process. She was very attentive to our needs and worked with our schedule. Unlike other agents there was never any pressure to make a commitment. We are now going through the selling process with Joy and our experience is just as professional and pleasant as the first.

My husband and I just bought our first house. While we started the house-hunting process
feeling anxious and overwhelmed, now that we are done I look back and see how smooth it
all went. This was, in no small part, thanks to Joy Guttenberg. From suggesting houses
to look at, to showing us our picks, to recommending other professionals for us to work
with, Joy was, well, a joy to work with! She was always available to answer questions
and offer advice when we needed it. Working with Joy, we felt good knowing that we had
the support of someone who took our concerns seriously and who took it to heart that we
finish the process of buying a house satisfied and happy.
