A home on Palisade Avenue just went under contract — real, recent results in your exact market, not a generic online estimate.

Joannie Cargill is a Jersey City, NJ real estate agent with Compass (The Home Edition) who helps Jersey City Heights homeowners understand their home's value and true net proceeds — and serves buyers and sellers across New Jersey, including Warren Township. Bilingual in English and Spanish.
I'm a Jersey City native, and my story is a New Jersey story. I grew up in Jersey City, spent more than five years in Madison, two in Cranford, and fifteen years in West Orange before settling in Warren Township about five years ago. I've never really left any of those places behind — I'm back often, visiting family and friends, reliving good memories, and staying connected to communities that shaped me. It's given me a real, lived feel for these towns, their neighborhoods, and what it means to call each one home.
I bring fifteen years of high-stakes negotiation experience to every client I serve, built leading global partnerships with Fortune 500 companies in luxury hospitality. That world taught me how to read a room, structure a deal that works for everyone at the table, and stay calm and clear-eyed when the stakes — and the emotions — run high. I bring that same discipline to real estate: a strategic partner who knows how to protect your interests, and an empathetic one who understands that buying or selling a home is one of the most personal decisions you'll ever make. I'm also fluent in Spanish, so I can meet you and your family in the language you're most comfortable in.
My family is in Jersey City and so is my heart — I'm in the city often and have a front-row view of how dynamic these neighborhoods have become. I serve buyers and sellers all over New Jersey, especially in and around Jersey City and Warren Township — the same blend of strategy and care, wherever you call home. My husband and I are active Fairleigh Dickinson University alumni, often back on campus and at alumni events, and that community is close to both our hearts.
Much of my business comes through referrals from clients and partners who trust me with the people they care about — a foundation I take seriously, because the best relationships are built on that kind of confidence. Whether you're building long-term wealth, investing, selling a home full of memories, buying your first place, renting or listing an apartment, or planning a move that sets up your next chapter, I'd be honored to be your guide and your advocate.
I provide a free Home Value report based on recent, comparable sales on your actual block — not a generic online estimate. A home on Palisade Avenue recently went under contract, and that real, local activity is what determines what your home is worth today.
Your sale price is not what you keep. I prepare a free Net-Proceeds report that subtracts commissions, closing costs, and any payoffs so you see your true take-home number before you list — so you can plan your next move with confidence.

Yes. I'm a Jersey City native and fluent in Spanish, so I can guide you and your family through buying or selling in the language you're most comfortable in.
