As an Eastern Shore Realtor, I know that a real estate transaction is built on trust. I pride myself on my honesty and integrity in providing the highest quality representation for my clients. I have spent my entire life in Chestertown and on the Chesapeake Bay and have a deep respect and understanding for why life here is so special. You can rely on my deep knowledge of the eastern shore and its waterways when buying a home. As an Eastern Shore native, full-time Realtor and licensed Attorney, I have the skill set to help you navigate any real estate transaction; waterfront, farms, commercial, you name it. Buying or selling real estate requires an experienced and trustworthy advocate. Let me be your guide.

Growing up on the banks of the Chester River, I was fortunate enough to enjoy everything the Chesapeake Bay has to offer, whether crabbing, fishing or just about every water-sport you can think of. After graduating from Washington College with a B.A. in Economics and Finance, I attended University of Baltimore School of Law. Working full time and going to school at night, I graduated cum laude and proceeded to clerk for the Honorable Harris P. Murphy, Circuit Court of Kent County, Md. That’s when I decided to make a drastic career shift to practicing full time as a Realtor in 2021. Since then I have enjoyed showing others why life on the shore really is the land of pleasant living.

Outside of real estate, I enjoy getting exercise with my black lab, playing pickleball, soccer and racing the historic log canoe sail boats up and down the Chesapeake Bay.

-Christopher

• Joey is a phenomenal realtor. He's incredibly patient and helpful. He won't hesitate to tell you if something is an objectively bad idea and he can tell you why. Joey worked with us for about 6 months on a very difficult home purchase and he made it all come together. Gave us excellent referrals for many of our home needs. Despite his younger age than most realtors, he is incredibly knowledgeable and is quick to find information he does not yet possess.

-Andrew

• As a first-time homebuyer, working with Joey was an exceptional experience. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. He took the time to listen to exactly what I was looking for in a home and was there every step of the way, providing guidance and reassurance. His communication was excellent, always keeping me informed and working with my schedule. Joey went above and beyond to ensure I found the perfect home and had all the information I needed to make decisions. I couldn't have asked for a better realtor in Chestertown.

• Joey is an exceptional real estate agent. He went above and beyond to find us exactly what we were looking for. We ran into some issues during inspection, and Joey was able to renegotiate the deal for us. He was always very responsive and very knowledgeable. We felt he was on our side throughout the whole process and made purchasing a house easy and enjoyable. We would highly recommend Joey and look forward to working with him in the future in Chestertown, Maryland.

• Joey was awesome. We grew to really appreciate him. I wouldn’t want to work with anyone else Even when the results of our offers were denied Joey was very kind and gave us pointers on how to win our house. When other agents were difficult he remained professional and always kind and understanding. From the first house we viewed in Chestertown to the one we finally got he was extremely patient and positive. I would without a doubt recommend him to my family members and friends. Without out him I would have probably given up a long time ago. Thanks Joey!!!

• I still cannot believe that I lucked out with finding Joey as a realtor. I was paired with him for a simple house showing that I found on zillow and during our meetup, I knew that I wanted to work with him to find my future home. Joey was communicative and professional throughout the whole process. As a first time home buyer, I was prepared for a lot of obstacles, delays and headaches, but the process was incredibly easy. Joey helped recommend local businesses for all of my needs (moving out of my current rental, house inspections, fencing, etc.) and was patient enough to answer all of my questions. Joey was the first to respond to every email we received and would always follow up to make sure that I had received the same information and to see if I had any questions. From start to finish, I moved into my house in less than a month and am so incredibly grateful to Joey and his resources for their help. I have even referred him to my previous landlord as well as several friends and young graduates who are looking for housing in Maryland. I 100% plan on using Joey in the future and will continue to recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor in Chestertown, Maryland.

• We cannot say enough good things about Joey, who has been our agent for both buying our first home together and also selling my partner’s house. Joey worked with us tirelessly for 6 months to find the right home — on both sides of the Bay Bridge and spanning three counties — in the toughest seller's market in years. He maintained the utmost professionalism and top notch service and communication as we navigated the bidding and home buying process, ultimately going through 3 other competitive bidding wars before finding the right fit. We truly appreciate both his seemingly unlimited patience but also his expert knowledge of real estate and properties in general to ascertain property values, amenities, and other factors that would impact costs and our quality of life. Joey showed true dedication during one lost bid in an area we adored when he proceeded to contact the local residents for leads on potential other properties that may go on sale, and we all know cold calling is the worst! He listened to our needs, and never pushed us to sign on the dotted line until we felt 110% confident in our decisions. He worked with our varying work schedules, and always showed up on time and with the right attitude. We enjoyed working with him so much that there was no question to us which agent we could trust to sell my partner’s house, which went under contract in 3 days after multiple offers, and finalized over the list price, meaning it was priced well with Joey's advice and comparables analysis. We could not ask for a better agent, and we found him through Zillow!

• We were very fortunate to have Mr. Joey Ciganek represent us in our recent home purchase. Having purchased and sold nine properties including farms, condos, vacation homes and primary residences we have been expertly represented by several fine real estate professionals. Mr. Ciganek and one other professional with many years of experience stand out as superior to all others. Joey is a mature, highly intelligent young man with exceptional organization skills and compulsive attention to detail. He is personable and an excellent listener. His recommendations were well thought out and presented with the sole intent to provide us the most lifestyle satisfying and financially favorable purchase. In dealing and coordinating with other agents he was fair and straightforward. He treated his colleagues with respect and never disparaged anyone or harshly criticized their positions or ideas. Joey took control of all tasks. He was always prepared with thoroughly researched information and provided alternative approaches to decisions. Negatives as well as positives were presented with complete clarity. Throughout the process he insured that we completely understood our options. He was dedicated to promoting and protecting our self-interests. Allow an example of what it was like to work with Joey. After closing we had not received copies of some of the documents. We notified Joey and he insisted that he contact the closing attorney. We would have been well satisfied with his notifying the attorney that the documents had not been received and getting assurance that they would be sent to us. Instead, Joey insisted that the attorney send the documents to him thereby shifting the responsibility for follow up to himself. In that way he could ensure that the task would be done promptly and correctly so we would not be bothered or worried. The example may sound small, but it isn’t. Joey stayed with us throughout the process and simply made all problems go away – a great finisher. Joey is also a licensed attorney and could explain all property questions. His knowledge was invaluable. We cannot recommend this real estate professional more highly and would welcome sharing our experience with any prospective clients. All of Joey’s future clients will be fortunate to be represented by him.

-Martha W.

• Joey is an incredible agent ! He showed my brother and I several houses and in less than 40 days we became first time home owners. He answered any and all questions we had and never left us hanging with anything that we needed. He set up all of our home inspectors we needed. While looking in the houses it was great because he was also pointing out things we missed and that helped a lot. Don't look anywhere else for a agent, joey is your guy !
