In the bustling world we live in, it’s rare to find someone who truly embodies the spirit of community and creativity. Sheila Joynes is one such gem, combining her passions for real estate, knitting, teaching and community service into a life that inspires joy and connection among those around her.
Sheila’s journey into the world of real estate stemmed from her core belief that following one’s dreams was essential, no matter one’s stage of life.
As a realtor for John L. Scott, she brings empathy, expertise and enthusiasm to her work, helping clients navigate the often complex process of buying or selling a home.
“It’s about making people happy, seeing the joy on their faces when they find their perfect home,” Sheila reflects. Her approach is shaped by her diverse background in education and nursing.

Her impact extends beyond the boundaries of real estate. A published knitting designer, dedicated to her craft, she creates all kinds of patterns.
“Knitting is not just a hobby for me; it’s a way of bringing people together, of bringing the community together,” says Sheila, whose blog and Pinterest page are treasure troves of inspiration for fellow knitters, with everything from intricate designs to advice for those looking to explore the art of knitting.
Her commitment to community service is evident in her volunteer work and generous spirit. Sheila donates yarn and offers free courses to those who cannot afford them, ensuring that the joy of knitting is accessible to all.
“It’s all about making people feel happy and fulfilled,” says Sheila, who has a Bachelor degree in art education and experience teaching elementary education.
Despite her transition from education to real estate and knitting, teaching remains a core part of Sheila’s identity, whether she’s guiding a first-time homebuyer or a novice knitter.
“My teaching background helps me break down complex processes into understandable steps, whether I’m explaining a real estate transaction or a knitting technique,” she says.
