Experience makes a real difference in training, and with over 80 years of real estate experience between them, our Joyner Academy instructors are some of the most knowledgeable in the Upstate.
Giovanna began her real estate career 24 years ago in the multifamily industry. In 2005, she decided to transition from leasing to sales and discovered her niche for working with new construction. Despite the demands of her roles, Giovanna has always committed time to teaching real estate across the state through area real estate schools and at community colleges. Today, she continues to promote and serve at the local level on various committees and boards endorsed by NAR. She is a resident of Spartanburg County, where she enjoys the slower pace of life and considers herself a hometown local and neighbor. Her favorite past time is spent enjoying all the Carolina’s have to offer with social and outdoor adventures with friends and her family – her one son, his wife along with her two beautiful grandchildren.
