Joanna Hirsch

Joanna is proud to be a part of Vanguard Properties, the largest privately and locally owned brokerage in the East Bay. With top-tier marketing, experienced support staff, innovative tech, and strong leadership, she is well-equipped to deliver the highest level of service to her clients.

Real estate is in Joanna's DNA—her mother, Bonnie, was a respected local agent for 38 years. Born and raised in the Montclair neighborhood of the Oakland Hills, she brings deep local insight and a strong connection to the community.

Joanna began her college career at The University of British Columbia and then transferred to, and graduated with honors from, UCLA with a BFA in Film. But, it was her love for Northern California that brought her back to the Bay Area—and real estate quickly became her calling.

Whether negotiating on your behalf, educating you through the process, or simply being a steady presence from start to finish, Joanna is passionate about making your experience seamless and successful. She prides herself on thoughtful strategy, creative vision, and trusted relationships, all rooted in a deep knowledge of the market.

It’s a privilege for Joanna to support her clients through such meaningful transitions, and she looks forward to being a trusted resource every step of the way.
