About Joy Y.

I lead with a boutique, high touch approach to marketing distinctive estates across North Carolina’s Triangle region and coastline. As a luxury broker with Ivester Jackson Christies International Real Estate and a Luxury Collection Specialist with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, I bring more than 15 years of experience spanning new construction, builder representation, investment strategy, and luxury properties. I help clients position, market, and sell exceptional homes with clarity, strategy, and results. Alongside real estate, I am also a literary agent and author with Waterside Productions, representing bestselling authors and visionary voices whose work transforms lives. Waterside is home to iconic titles such as Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, Conversations with God, and The Power of Now, and I am honored to champion work that speaks to both heart and mind. I guide authors in shaping their next chapter through story, lifestyle, and legacy.I am a monthly astrology columnist for Sophisticated Living and a longtime contributor to wellness and lifestyle publications. My early career began in the arts as a SAG actor and composer of original scores for independent films, documentaries, and brand campaigns for Apple and Ford. I am also the founder of The Joy Method and The Power of Divine Timing, trademarked programs rooted in emotional intelligence and holistic insight. With a BA in Film and Communications from Columbia and a Masters in Holistic Health, and Graduate studies in Music Composition from Vermont College of Fine Arts.
