"Josh sold my condo in a week! He was knowledgeable, collaborative, has the connections to start the process quickly and has a high degree of integrity. Josh collaborated with me on the strategy and tactics. For example, he coordinated and managed staging, hired a professional photographer who took great pictures, and created a beautiful brochure, etc. and ensured my approval before launch.
Josh developed relationships with the interested parties and was steadfast in his commitments before, during, and after the sale. He was responsive and kept me informed on all key events.
My experience with Josh is that he is a highly skilled agent who operates with integrity.. " - Renee S.

"Josh was our agent for buying a home over the past year that we've been looking. It hasn't been easy as we dragged our feet and were extremely particular about what we wanted and what neighborhood it had to be in. Josh helped us throughout and kept us positive in a tough market.
When we finally made an offer, Josh was there day in and day out making sure all of the mortgage info was in order, making sure the home was in good shape and making sure all of the contingencies were met in a timely fashion. We love the new house and are extremely grateful that Josh helped us find it and surprised us with a nice bottle of champagne when we moved in." - Jacob

"Josh helped us sell our house in SF. He connected us with great resources for staging, painting, and marketing. He recommended a great strategy, we rec'd multiple offers, and closed on time far over asking!
Everything was handled professionally.." - Greg

"Josh helped me sell my house in May. He was very helpful every step of the way. The San Francisco market was going through its normal gyrations at the time but Josh helped me navigate the ups and downs. He's available virtually all the time and communicates by text, email and phone...whatever your preference and what's appropriate for the situation. You're in good hands. Don't hesitate to contact Josh even if you're not ready right now to buy or sell. He kept me informed about the SF market for close to a year before I pulled the trigger and listed my loft. He also has great connections for painting, movers, storage, etc. A 5-star experience." - Cameron R.
