DISCOVER A BRAND NEW WAY TO GET TOP MARKET VALUE FOR YOUR SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN HOME WITHOUT THE WORRY OF MARKET FLUCTUATIONS
My Journey From A SINGLE MOTHER To A TOP REAL ESTATE AGENT for SINGLE MOTHERS Who Want to Effortlessly Navigate the SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN Real Estate Market and CREATE Their Dream LIFE
Joyce Sanders
More than 20 years ago, I had just graduated from college and started working at a bank when I became a mother for the first time.
I wanted my son, and I was excited to begin that chapter of my life. But I quickly realized I was not fully prepared for how much everything would change.
The bills kept coming, and my living expenses kept growing. Diapers, formula, transportation, and everyday needs added up fast.
I was working, but it still felt like there was never enough money left over.
At one point, I had to downgrade my car just so I could afford my other bills.
That season was hard. I was a young mother trying to be responsible, provide for my baby, and create stability while still figuring life out for myself.
I did what I knew how to do.
I worked more hours. I looked for other ways to make money.
I found less expensive ways to handle everyday needs. I also built a support system around me so I would not have to carry the full cost of daycare alone.
I did not have a perfect plan. I simply kept finding the next solution.
That experience taught me what it feels like to want something better for your family while worrying about whether you can afford it.
It taught me how stressful financial decisions can feel when another person is depending on you.
It also taught me that asking for support is not a weakness. Having the right people, the right information, and a clear plan can change everything.
That is why the work I do today is personal.
When I speak with a buyer who feels overwhelmed, worried about money, or unsure where to begin, I understand that fear.
I know what it is like to stretch every dollar, make difficult choices, and keep moving forward because your child needs stability.
I want my clients to feel supported, not judged. I want them to understand their options, protect their peace, and take each step with confidence.
You do not have to have everything figured out before you begin.
I help single mothers understand what they can afford and build a clear path to homeownership without feeling overwhelmed.

"Supporting a Black-owned business was important to us during our home buying process, and choosing Team Peterson-Jackson Real Estate Professionals, as our realtor was one of the best decisions we made. From the very first home showing all the way to closing, she was professional, knowledgeable, patient, and always available when we needed her. If she didn’t immediately have an answer to something, she made sure to find out and got back to us quickly. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire process.
As first-time home buyers, we had a lot of questions, but she never once made us feel like we were a bother. She kept a positive attitude, explained things clearly, and made sure we felt comfortable every step of the way. She truly cares about her clients and it shows. She even bought us a nice Keurig, a big candle, and a large-framed photo of us that said, "homeowners", in a gift basket at closing. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, responsive realtor who is genuinely invested in helping you through the home buying process, I highly recommend her. First-time buyers especially will appreciate how patient and supportive she is throughout the entire journey."

"Team Peterson-Jackson's review ratings were rated high on the Zillow.com website. I decided to give them a call. I met with her on June 2, 2026, at a home I owned with my brother. She was professional and confident in their ability to sell this home. She did just that!!! We closed on June 20, 2026. I have worked with many realtors in the past. She is the first realtor I would give a five-star review, or for that matter a recommendation. I highly recommend her! She is Detroit's Real-estate Agent Extraordinaire!!!! And probably all of Wayne County, Oakland County and Macomb County too. My brother and I thank you"

"Working with her was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Her patience, professionalism, and dedication made the entire commercial property purchase process smooth and stress-free. What impressed me most was her ability to negotiate a better purchase price on my behalf while always protecting my best interests. She was responsive, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain every step of the process. What makes this achievement even more remarkable is that she accomplished in just 8 months what my previous realtor was unable to accomplish in 3 years. Her persistence, expertise, and commitment never wavered, and because of her hard work, I was finally able to secure the commercial property I had been pursuing. If you’re looking for a realtor who is patient, professional, determined, and truly invested in her clients’ success, I highly recommend. Thank you for helping turn my vision into reality."
