What Sets Josh Apart

Josh is an outstanding partner and a tremendous asset for anyone interested in buying or selling. His market knowledge, responsiveness, dedication, caring spirit and personal touch are impeccable. Clients with high standards often note that Josh fully meets and often exceeds their expectations. Their selling and buying experiences are described as pleasant, smooth and effortless, even as hiccups sometimes occur, which is precisely when Josh’s mastery really shines.

Josh is a strong believer in and provider of leading-edge technology tools to augment the buying and selling processes. Having spent more than a decade on the forefront of the technology world, Josh understands that integrating the latest technology tools offers many benefits including but not limited to improved communication, deeper insights to enable better decision making while also realizing greater efficiencies and effectiveness. Josh continuously invests in relevant technological tools to stay ahead of the curve and provide an edge for himself and his clients.

Josh is deeply committed to understanding and addressing his client’s needs. He delivers this through skillful communication, active listening and providing deliberate, honest and thoughtful recommendations. His approach has consistency produced powerful outcomes for his clients and built a level of trust that many do not expect when hiring a real estate professional. Jeff, who is a recent client said: “working with Josh does not feel as if we simply hired a realtor, but someone who became truly invested in our needs. I cannot imagine anyone would not be satisfied with the level of expertise and professionalism Josh provides.”

Josh is focused on helping his clients make sound real estate decisions so that they can live the life they love. With that Josh is also a champion of helping his clients find their home. To Josh, home is more than just a house. Home is their special place in the world; a safe haven, a happy place where they can live, learn, grow, thrive and create lasting memories.

After having lived in many different places and witnessing firsthand the many challenges we have faced in the past decade: economic crisis of 2008-2009, physical loss of property and life from natural disasters, social and political unrest of recent elections, and the heavy health toll of the COVID-19 pandemic, Josh has come to realize that finding home is critically important. 

Now, more than ever, Josh feels immense gratitude to call Boulder his home and feels tremendous pride to share it with others. Like many, Boulder stands out as an exceptional place to call home and has received top rankings for quality of life (No. 1 in U.S.), sense of happiness of its residents (No. 1 in U.S.) and safety (No. 7 in U.S).  While there are many factors that contribute to generating such acclaim, most tend to point toward Boulder’s natural beauty, abundance of opportunities for outdoor recreation, thriving economy, lively arts community and impressive restaurant scene as top factors that create such a high quality of life.

We could not have asked for a better partner to help us throughout the process. Josh is deliberate and thoughtful in his recommendations. He is both a skilled communicator and a good listener. We also appreciated Josh’s quick responsiveness and constant attention throughout the process. It is rare in any field to find a professional who is obviously attempting to be the best at what they do while remaining down-to-earth and easy to work with. The personal stress and stakes involved in residential real estate transactions make finding a real estate agent with those qualities all the more reassuring. Working with Josh does not feel as if we simply hired any Realtor®, but someone who truly became invested in our needs. I cannot imagine anyone would not be satisfied with the level of expertise and professionalism Josh provides. Those reading this review would be well advised to trust Josh with any of their real estate needs. Thanks, Josh for all your help!

He walked us through the selling process from the very beginning and we could not have done this without him. As I search for homes in a different state now, I often comment, "these sellers need Josh!" I would recommend Josh to anyone wanting to buy or sell in a heartbeat!

His communication was great and open. We did run into a few issues throughout the process, but Josh addressed any issue as it arose and handled them to make the process continued moving smoothly. It was a pleasure to work with Josh. When we are in need of a agent again he will defiantly be the guy for us.

He helped us sell and buy a rental with 1031 exchange which has particular parameters. He has been extremely helpful, given us all the time we needed, delivered us through a difficult negotiation, and was always a professional. Aside from all that, he’s just a great guy with a good sense of humor and a generous spirit. Highly recommend!
