Joy McWilliams is more than just a mainstay real estate agent; she is a local fixture. Her love for Parker has established her as a local leader.
If you talk to Joy McWilliams, you are immediately struck by her warmth and energy. She is a big part of our Parker community, and we wanted to highlight her as one of our local leaders. Joy and her husband, Brian, are behind the real estate duo, Mc2 Properties. You can follow them on Instagram, Facebook, or watch their monthly broadcast on YouTube to see the market overview, real estate advice, and some tours of listings.
Joy grew up in Texas and Brian grew up in the Littleton area. After college, they met through mutual friends, got married, and moved around a few times. They ended up back in Colorado 16 years ago. Joy was already involved in the real estate world and worked under several brokers. She was with Keller Williams years ago, then switched to Osgood, a local boutique broker on Mainstreet in Parker.
In the last five years, she decided to work with Compass, a newer company whose business model is to work with experienced agents. They are very driven in their technology platform, using AI and other tools. They are also frontrunners in private exclusives, which allows agents to market properties to their agency before becoming public. Joy believes their advancements make Compass different and a top seller. Bryan and Joy teamed up three years ago to work together in real estate.
Joy and Bryan not only sell homes but essentially sell our area as a great place to live. They stay educated on planning and zoning announcements, schools, and projects. They know Douglas County well and do most of their selling in Castle Rock, Parker, and South Aurora. They are mindful to stay in touch with the local communities, events, and the culture of the area. Joy is often suggesting Parker to people moving to the area because of what a special place it is.
They love Parker and have become ingrained into the community through networking with their business, the Chamber, friends, and neighbors. They have a son and daughter who go to high school in Parker and are involved in the school community as well as the town. They try to be involved with service activities through the Chamber and SECOR to help people in our area. Joy says business is about relationships and being in front of people having conversations.
I asked Joy what she thinks makes Parker so special. She said it's the history and smalltown feel of our downtown area with the events and traditions that are built there for friends and neighbors. She talked about how family-oriented our town is and how many opportunities there are for kids. Recognizing the importance of youth and children adds value to our community. But of course, most of all, Joy shared how it’s the people of Parker, how everyone helps each other and wants to interact and that each person matters. She feels fortunate to live in this area. Good people draw like-minded people to our area to strengthen us and our hometown feel. That is what Joy and Brian have brought to our community. We applaud their involvement, service, and impact!
