  • Josh is a fantastic realtor. We're first time homebuyers and first heard of Josh through a mutual friend. Since day one, Josh demonstrated diligence and reliability, showing mastery of his trade by navigating through the mess that is bay area housing. Not only was he able to differentiate and sparse out potential purchases based on our criteria, but he was also able to provide significant insight into the bay area market that helped inform our decision. Beyond that, a super significant value that he provided was his connections in the bay area - over the span of our search, he was able to show us multiple off-market properties, which cut costs, headache, and time. We ended up with one of those off-market properties and couldn't be happier. We would highly recommend Josh!

  • Josh is an amazing realtor! I worked with him to purchase my condo and he was so attentive, patient and kept me in the loop on what was going on from the first offer up until he brought me the keys.

  • I had the pleasure of working with Josh as my real estate agent on the buyer's side, and I highly recommend Josh to anyone looking to buy a home. From the very beginning of our over two years working with him, Josh was incredibly attentive and responsive. We started with a very wide search area from SF down to San Mateo, occasionally venturing to the East Bay and the North Bay. Josh took the time to understand our needs and preferences, toured different neighborhoods with us and educated us about each one, and helped us to narrow our search to a few neighborhoods to monitor for a potential match, while also occasionally presenting outside-of-the-zone properties that might catch our interest and meet our criteria. Throughout the entire process, Josh was professional, patient, supportive, and above all, true to his brand, trustworthy. We bid on half a dozen properties over two years before closing on the house we ultimately bought and we never felt rushed or pressured by Josh to do a deal. He responded instantly to our requests for disclosures and comparable sales information, answered all of our questions about disclosures, and helped us work through the pros and cons of each property. He presented all of our offers promptly and professionally, using technology to be quick and efficient, at the prices we were comfortable with. He was level-headed during negotiations and handled all the details with precision. When we closed on our house, he helped to coordinate our lender, insurance, escrow and other players to make sure everything stayed on track, removing a lot of stress from the actual home buying process. He has kept in touch and continued to support us after closing with his Bay Area real estate network and knowledge, which we have very much appreciated as new homeowners. Josh is well-connected, having worked with or across from many of the agents we encountered during our search in the areas we were looking. He was cordial to everyone, but we always felt he was looking out for our best interests and not anyone else’s. Josh’s expertise, commitment, and exceptional service makes him an outstanding real estate agent. The Bay Area real estate market moves fast and can be complicated. There are so many flashy players looking to make a quick buck. In such a crowded market, it can be hard to find a real estate agent who will adapt to your pace and process, and who you can absolutely trust to represent your interests. If you’re looking for someone to Entrust your home buying journey to, I can confidently say Josh is the among the best.

  • It has been absolute pleasure to work with Josh from the start. This was our first home buying experience and he has been an amazing realtor. We had a lot of learning to do and questions to be answered since home buying is not an easy task. However Josh was there every step of the way with his excellent communication skills ensuring that we were always in the loop with what to consider. Also it was impressive that how knowledgeable he was when it came to which neighborhood to look for and what factors come into play. We finally found a home from listing that Josh had sent us. Me and my wife were looking at Redfin and Zillow but most of the times had a different take on it. But we fell in love with listing Josh sent and he was there to come up with an appealing offer. He had our back getting the offer accepted even though he had very tight timeline. Me and my wife was overwhelmed with joy when heard the news that our offer was accepted and Josh had our back again till we had key in our hands. I would definitely recommend Josh when my family or friends are starting to look for a new house. He made process seamless and enjoyable not something to be anxious or uncomfortable. We really thank Josh for making first home buying purchase a pleasant and fun experience all the way! We are truly grateful that we have met you.

  • Josh was a pleasure to work with from the beginning of my home buying journey to close. He was very detail oriented and ensured I was comfortable with every step of the process. Josh gave me confidence in my buying power and ability to secure a solid deal on my first home purchase. I highly recommend Josh!

  • Josh represented us as sellers. He is an exceptional realtor. We have been working with Josh for many years, and it has been an absolutely wonderful experience working with him again. After moving out of CA, we knew that Josh will continue being the one we can fully trust and rely on in executing the sale of our home. With his knowledge, expertise, and devotion to his clients, Josh worked 24/7 in preparing our home for sale. Josh was able to complete all property preparation, staging, and marketing material within a couple of weeks, and we did not have to return to CA for any reason. Josh kept in touch with us daily, answered all our questions right away, and provided us with the best advice. When you have a talented and brilliant Realtor like Josh, who prices your property well, and fights for you and the deal, you end up selling your home for the best price and quickly. After one week on the market, Josh presented us with multiple offers. To top it all, Josh is an extremely special human being. Josh is genuine, kind and caring, he is honest, trustworthy, extremely professional, very easy to work with, and above all, he knows real estate inside out. If you are looking for a hassle-free, quick sale at a top price Josh is your guy. It has been such a pleasure working with you Josh. We are looking forward to continuing our journey together as our Realtor and dear friend.

  • As a first time home-buyer, Josh was there every step of the way. As we started with a wide range of "options" Josh helped us refine our scope, not in a pushy way but in a very consultative approach. Additionally Josh's responsiveness was 10/10, sometimes I had to say "please don't respond right away" as I would send messages later in the evening, but Josh would acknowledge the message and often still reply. It really felt as though Josh was a part of our family thinking about this decision as if it was his own.

  • Josh came highly recommended by some good friends and he even went above and beyond expectations. From the first meeting we had, he took the time (2-3 hours) to really get to know us as a family, understand our story, and help us paint a clear picture of what our future home would look like. He was diligent in asking us the right questions and making sure we were well informed of all the ins and outs of purchasing our first home. Throughout the visiting and showing process he was always punctual, patient, and professional. He made sure we were well educated on every aspect of the homes we were looking at and always made sure that our questions and concerns were addressed completely, which made our decision-making process very clear and comfortable. When we finally landed on the place that would become our new home, he was always a text or call away, very responsive and kept in constant communication between us and all parties involved in the purchasing process. For any homebuyer, I highly recommend Josh to help you on your search. If he can make the home buying process for brand-new, first-time home buyers like my family a delight, even in these very challenging times, he can do it all!

  • Josh is the best realtor, hands down. My wife and I were first time homebuyers and we knew absolutely nothing about the process going into it. From the beginning, Josh was incredibly patient and attentive, listening to all our needs and providing absolute transparency to help us set realistic expectations. He educated us on every element of the process, from getting a loan to understanding the disclosures to even dealing with the HOA. He never failed to prioritize our best interests and was always reachable, no matter the hour. Josh's dedication is absolutely beyond what we expected from a realtor and it made the daunting task of buying a home a breeze for us. We're incredibly thankful to have worked with Josh and wouldn't hesitate to work with him again. I cannot emphasize enough how great of a guy he is and HIGHLY recommend him to everyone.

  • Look no further, Josh is the best in the Bay Area. My wife and I had the pleasure of working with him during our search for our first home and his knowledge and connections helped us make this process go a lot smoother. Buying a home for the first time can be a very daunting and arduous process with lots of terminology and information thrown your way that might not make sense at first. Josh was extremely knowledgeable and patient with us. He made sure to go over every detail from what we wanted in a house, to home lending, how to read disclosures and what to look for, evaluating comps and strategizing offers, and the whole escrow process afterwards. I really felt like we learned a lot from him during this process and even feel comfortable enough to discuss real estate and home buying with my peers. One thing I really appreciated about Josh was his undivided attention to our home search and his non biased opinions. He really kept our interests in mind throughout the entire search. For all the times we contacted him to pull disclosures or get updates, he was able to get back to us promptly. Even after we closed, Josh continued to keep in contact with us to make sure that the move in process went smoothly and we were happy and settled. I highly recommend Josh to anyone looking for a home, regardless of whether you are first time or not.

  • My husband and I are so grateful that we got to work with Josh! As first time home buyers, we were prepared to potentially be searching for months. Josh helped us strategize our offer on a house we fell in love with and beat out 9 other bids. It was our FIRST offer on an active listing house. That is unheard of in this market and speaks to Josh's knowledge, skill and dedication. Not only was Josh brilliant with comp numbers and our offer strategy, but we felt like we were his only clients! Anytime I had a question (every day/multiple times per day) I never hesitated to text or call Josh. He always responded promptly and kept us informed on listings we were interested in and sent us homes that had potential. He made great suggestions, educated us and ultimately got us into our dream neighborhood. To top it all off, Josh is an absolute class act and such a genuine person. We were so happy to work with someone who clearly had our best interests at heart. Thanks, Josh!

  • Our home selling experience was eased by the help and assistance that Josh provided. He guided us in every step of the way. After living in our home for over 20 years, Josh respectfully knew what the house meant and he made the process less stressful. Josh kept us informed of the cleaning/prepping and staging processes which took a load off of us. His experience and knowledge of how to display our home was key in our successful sale. My mother who lives across the street was very sad with our move and Josh comforted her with a nice gift. After our house sold, Josh was kind and followed up with emails and phone calls. I so appreciated him every step of the way. Thank You Josh!! Wishing you the best in all of your sales!

  • Best agent in Bay area with my strong recommendation. Authentic, knowledgable, responsive, you can completely rely on Josh. my overall first home buying experience was (unbelievable) in less than 2 weeks to decide to make an offer and closed less than 3 weeks with great value. also he advised and shared all of the good contractor sources which made my life easier :)

  • We started our search for our first home when we were still living in New York City when we first contacted Josh for help. We hadn’t lived in the Bay Area for over a decade, so Josh was incredibly helpful when it came to helping and educating us on the different neighborhoods and areas of the Bay Area, yet not pushy at all with opinions as he wanted us to take our time to decide where our first home would be! And as brand new buyers to the real estate market in the Bay Area, he was incredibly patient and answered ALL our questions at all hours of the day. When we finally moved back to the Bay Area during the pandemic, an already stressful time, he was very proactive, checking in with us, offering his advice on homes in our target areas and sharing tailored suggestions for home tours. Josh set up tours across the Bay for us across all types of homes: condos, townhouses, single family homes. Even after our offer was accepted, Josh was available any time of the day for us to ask questions leading up to, during, and after escrow. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Josh on this home-buying journey. We can’t emphasize enough how much we benefitted from Josh’s guidance. Thank you Josh!

  • Josh helped me and my husband to purchase our first home. He was amazing from the beginning to the end. As first-time buyers, we (especially me) had so many questions and Josh has answered all of them patiently. He helped us not only to find our home but also to understand the whole process of purchasing a home. He has guided us through the steps we needed to take and came up with solutions when we had issues. You won't regret working with Josh if you are planning to purchase a home!

  • Josh was such a wonderful person to work with for our first time home buying experience! He really listened to us and took our opinions, wants, and needs into consideration when showing us houses and when walking us through the home buying process. Josh was always responsive and available to answer our many questions! It was great to work with someone who had our best interests in mind and who could help guide us through the process and familiarize us with the California housing market. When it came time to put in an offer Josh was a great advocate and was able to get us a great deal! We are so happy we could work with such a motivated and knowledgeable agent like Josh!

  • My first home buying experience was amazing thanks to Josh. From our very first meeting, I could tell he really had my best interests in mind. I gave him a list of billion things I wanted in my place, and he was able to help me prioritize and figure out the most important pieces, and recommended me to look at places that met those needs. I ultimately ended up buying a place he showed me, and I'm so happy with the purchase. What I really appreciated was his transparency and his patience. As a first-time home buyer, everything was so overwhelming. Josh was able to calmly guide me through the home buying process, ranging from how to read disclosures to how to think about making an offer, to finding the most reasonable lender. He shared with me which neighborhoods were up and coming, and things to watch out for. He shared his conversations with the selling agents for the places I was interested in. He helped me weigh pros and cons of different listings. In the end I could make an informed decision when making an offer. He is also extremely responsive. I definitely bombarded him with questions constantly, but he always responded with detail and in a timely manner. Reaching him was never an issue, and he got things done quickly. I would 100% recommend Josh as your realtor, and would definitely work with him again!

  • Josh assisted my husband and I to achieve our dreams of owning a single-family home. We owned a condo for several years and never imagined we could purchase such a home in the bay area! Josh is part of a comprehensive team that does their research, has extensive experience, and provides sound advice on selling and buying a home. In our case, we had to sell our home first prior to purchasing a home. The situation would have been beyond stressful with all the decisions to make and with being in transition, but Josh and his team stepped up to help us though everything. They were transparent through the entire process, from staging our condo to the strategy of the sale, identifying a home within our budget and priorities, and closing deals for both the purchase and the sale meeting tight deadlines all around. I highly recommend Josh if you’re looking to buy or sell your home. He was always available and responsive with support and guidance. If I were to do it again, I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again as our realtor!
