WHAT DID YOU DO PRIOR TO REAL ESTATE?
I worked with my father in the excavating business, then decided to pursue the carpentry trade. I’m also trained in home inspections which, along with my construction background, comes in handy when showing homes to my clients.
WHAT IS THE MOST UNIQUE THING ABOUT YOU?
I’m 1 of 9 kids. As a child, I quickly learned how unique we were when observing the reactions of people finding out how many of us there were! I also have 5 young children, one boy and four girls.
WHAT ARE YOUR THREE FAVOURITE BOOKS?
For fiction, The Lord of The Rings Trilogy (J.R.R. Tolkien). For education, anything on real estate! For inspiration, The Bible.
WHAT’S AN EXPERIENCE THAT HAS MADE YOU A STRONGER PERSON?
One of my children spent seven weeks in the NICU after being born. It was a roller coaster of emotions and gave me a new perspective on life.
WHAT IS YOUR IDEAL MORNING ROUTINE?
Early rise, reading, watching the kids begin to trickle down the stairs, have breakfast as a family, then off to work.

I can’t say enough about Faris Team! I was purchasing my first home and had just moved across the country. I am so grateful I had Joel on my side as he was knowledgeable, supportive and an expert in the area. From day one, I felt valued and it was clear that he sincerely wanted to find the right home for me. Joel walked me through each step, answered all of my questions (I had many) and knew the questions to ask that I hadn’t thought of. He was patient, kind and genuine throughout the process. A true professional. We found the perfect home and I am so thankful!
– Nicole Lynn
It is rare in any field to meet a person with such a high standard of ethic and understanding. Joel is very compassionate and takes a genuine interest to achieve great success with all parties involved throughout the process of transition from one home to another. The care and respect go much further than the end date of the transaction as Joel makes it a point to maintain contact and that is very refreshing in today’s world.
-Fred Hermann
Faris Team rocks! My wife and I were very glad to have Joel as our real estate agent when we moved to Barrie almost three years ago. His tireless efforts to help us find the right home at the right price for our family were much appreciated. We would most definitely use Faris Team again and have recommended them to many others. Their stated mission is “to go full out for our clients and provide the best real estate experience in the world”–and they deliver! Don’t look elsewhere.
-Dan Brubacher
Throughout the negotiations, it was evident that Joel had listened to us and what our bottom line was, because he only presented us with viable offers and didn’t waste his or our time. He’s an artful negotiator and knows how to put a difficult deal together so both sides feel that they have gotten what they want. Joel is not just our realtor now, we consider him our friend.
– Karen & Rob Hobson
