Find your place.
Love your life.

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by to learn more about me and my team and how we can serve you. One thing you'll quickly find is that I have never met a stranger! I am a Realtor because I have always enjoyed being an advocate for people regardless of the situation or which career I have worked in. My clients are my priority and often become like family. They know I will do anything I can to make sure they are well taken care of in the EASIEST way possible. It's stressful enough packing and moving; you shouldn’t need to worry about the rest because my team and I have that under control. We are here to get you Home!

I have lived in Franklin County my whole life - from the lake to the country to the city and everywhere in between. Being a Realtor, my home is always for sale! I love having the option to either enjoy the lake life or a peaceful spot in the country all while having the convenience of two cities and a town within minutes when I don't want to wait for my two day shipping with Amazon. Life here is pretty sweet and has a lot to offer! Give me a shout and I'll be happy to show you. In my spare time, I enjoy chauffeuring my little people to all their sport activities, spending time with my husband and kids exploring all of the great hiking spots, fishing holes, restaurants, and history all from the SML to Roanoke and beyond. We just love adventures!

I have been involved in real estate for the past 25 years, first investing and renovating homes, and then as an agent for the past 10 years. Over that time, I have found much success, but more importantly have gained the valuable experience needed to help my clients realize their property goals. Every day, I look forward to taking that experience and reaching new people to discuss with them the possibilities available in real estate. I understand the struggle and challenges! From investing to moving up to downsizing, I listen to my clients wants and needs and go to whatever lengths possible to see that they get the right fit. A house is the biggest investment most Americans ever make and you should walk away from the transaction happy and satisfied. Let me help you find your next investment, project, or dream home!

I'm Joe Bratt—a proud husband, father, Navy veteran, and REALTOR® with a passion for helping people find the perfect place to call home.

My military service taught me the importance of integrity, discipline, and attention to detail—values I bring to every real estate transaction. With a bachelor's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies and a graduate certificate in Healthcare Management, I offer strong communication, problem-solving skills, and a client-first approach.

I understand that buying a home is more than a financial decision. It's about finding a place where your family can grow, make memories, and build a future.

Whether you're buying your first home or making your next move, my goal is simple: to make the process straightforward, enjoyable, and successful while always putting your best interests first.

Let's find the place you'll be proud to call home.

I enjoy working behind the scenes to make sure that our clients have the best experience when buying or selling their home. Real Estate can be overwhelming and I’m here to take that burden off your shoulders. Have a question? I’ll find an answer!

Prior to joining the Next Door Realty Group, I spent many years experience in customer service via sales and healthcare. In my spare time, you can find me outside at Smith Mountain Lake with my husband, daughter, and our Pittie, Irie.
