WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Joseph is a real professional and talented realtor. He really understands the aggressive Seattle real estate market and matches the right investment property for me. With his vast knowledge as a realtor and a landlord, Joseph provided me (and still does) with a lot of critical information. He is very responsive and makes sure no question is left without the proper answer. I always felt he would go the extra mile for me and really wanted to find the best property for my needs. He is the kind of realtor that always available to provide good advice long after the deal is closed. I highly recommend Joseph and will definitely use his service in the future.

— Rozner S.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Joseph Goldberg is an exceptional realtor who provided my husband and me with the best possible first home-buying experience. He provided us with excellent advice and was in constant communication. We always felt like we were a priority. Joseph is a brilliant negotiator and assisted us every step of the way. With his help, we closed on an amazing home in Queen Anne.

— Jamie G.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

After we moved away from Seattle, we kept our townhome as a rental. As years passed, it no longer made sense to keep the property, so Joseph Goldberg helped us to sell it. This was not just a house, it was our first joint purchase and a place where our children were born. So this was an emotional sale, and, at the end of the day, obviously a financial decision. Joseph was incredibly sensitive to all the details of the transaction, from ensuring that we got the highest sale price, to walking us through the legal and emotional closure. We couldn't have asked for a better agent to trust such an important decision to.

— Seller

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

We were so fortunate to have found Mr. Joseph Goldberg when we decided to buy an investment property in Seattle, Washington. As our Realtor, he helped us find the right properties in the right neighborhood for a good price. He was patient as I traveled from San Francisco, California to look at properties. In short, he was always on our side working to make our investment property purchase as simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with Mr. Goldberg was that he was always more focused on answering our questions, giving us good advice, and finding properties that met our needs than he was on closing a deal. We would recommend him to everyone.

— Buyer

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Joseph Goldberg supported my first-time purchase of an investment property in Seattle. He worked with me closely for months, tirelessly analyzing opportunities, getting inside information, and using his wealth of knowledge to ensure that I was making the right deal. Joseph is attentive, knowledgeable, shrewd, delightful, and a great communicator. Most importantly, you know that Joseph is 100% on your side. The latter point became abundantly clear when he cleverly negotiated the price down after the inspection results came in. I could not recommend Joseph more for your Puget Sound real estate activity.

— Barifrach

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

I have known Joseph for more than 10 years now and purchased with his help a few condos in Seattle. He has been my go-to person with any questions related to being a landlord, dealing with HOAs, home finance, and maintenance of the apartment. He always proves his great knowledge. Joseph will always go the extra mile to help with any problem you may have during and after the purchase. Joseph has a great personality, he is very friendly, very knowledgeable, honest, and trustworthy. Joseph has been in real estate in Seattle for a long time, and it shows through his intimate knowledge of neighborhoods, types of properties, market prices, and details of the purchasing process. I would recommend Joseph to anyone, who's looking for their first home purchase or their next property investment.

— Lior A.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Joseph is exactly what you want your real estate agent to be. He is highly knowledgeable; and understands the local real estate market and the process real well. He is always there for you to guide and walk you through the process and give you his expert opinion. He will notify you when the right house came the market and will strategize the best offer that could get you the house for the least amount of money. I will use Joseph again not only to buy but also to sell any real estate. I will highly recommend him.

— Yoav

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Joseph knows real estate, and understands the market very well. His knowledge makes it easier to make the right offer to get the property in this competitive housing market. He was very responsive to requests to see houses, and was very accommodating to our hectic schedules.

— Buyer

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

We completed an investment property purchase under Joseph's guidance. New to the Seattle market, we felt very fortunate to work with a professional like Joseph. Closing a real estate deal can be complex, and having someone knowledgeable that you trust at your side throughout the process makes all the difference. Joseph located potential properties that aligned with our desired investment strategy, clearly explained the pros and cons of each, and laid out detailed calculations that distilled the value of the property we decided to go for. His proactive approach during the offer stage (in dealings with both the seller and the lender) was invaluable and resulted in our offer being accepted on a great property. Joseph's involvement did not end there, he remained extremely responsive to questions and provided helpful advice throughout the ownership transition period. He also made the introductions to all other professionals that were needed (inspector, insurance, etc.), and served as their local point of contact as needed. We could not be happier with our choice of Joseph as our agent and warmly recommend using his services.

— Meital K.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

We are grateful for your guidance, knowledge, support and more when we put the house on the market. Your book of resources was also so helpful! The stager you introduced us to did a beautiful job and because of the touches the house sold in mere days.

— Seller

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Bought and sold a single-family home in 2019 in Shoreline, WA. We had 3 transactions with Joseph so far, and I can say - there is no better agent in Seattle! Joseph is knowledgeable, and proactive, has incredible negotiation skills, and is always available for his clients.

— Buyer & Seller

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Joseph helped us buy a condo in Seattle. His experience and knowledge really made the buying process easier. Joseph provided us with a lot of relevant information and gave us good advice.

— Buyer

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

We were just browsing for a possible investment property, so when few weeks later Joseph called us with a listing and explained that this was a terrific investment, we were obviously very skeptical. Joseph has lots of experience. He took the time to explain and put all income, expenses, potential capital gains, and possible exit strategies on a detailed spreadsheet for worst and best-case scenarios and we started to feel more confident and decided to go with the purchase. Joseph helped us with negotiation and inspection and then guided us through the closing. Almost a year later we are very happy, the property is providing us with even more income than we originally planned for and has already appreciated significantly. We would have not done it without Joseph.

— Tova

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

We recently completed our first apartment purchase with Joseph as my agent. Joseph is an experienced agent who has deep knowledge about the local real estate market. He was a valuable resource for us as we didn't have experience in buying a house, he took care of every aspect of the process, including inspection, and was able to negotiate a good discount for us. He is honest, responsive, and trustworthy. I highly recommend working with Joseph as your agent.

— Buyer

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

I would highly recommend working with Joseph to find your next home. After renting in Green Lake for a year, I was preparing myself to renew my rental agreement because I didn't think I'd be able to find anything in Seattle's competitive market before my lease expired. Joseph was able to help me find an amazing home in less than 3 weeks! Here are a few things that made my experience with Joseph stand out: 1. He was always available to answer my questions and never passed me off to someone else (as a first-time home buyer this was very important to me) 2. He worked around the clock to notify me of new properties that met my specifications (we put in an offer on my home hours after it was posted online) 3. His ability to write competitive offers in the Seattle market is second to none (He wrote a very competitive offer on my home and helped me save money on my purchase). I was able, to be honest about what worked for me and what didn't without feeling pressured to buy something that didn't make me happy. I was very fortunate to have found Joseph as a realtor in this market. His past experience buying and selling properties for himself definitely made me feel like I had a leg up on the competition during my search for a home. I would definitely work with him again when the time comes.

— Vensherrie C.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

This is the second time we have worked with Joseph to buy a home. He successfully navigated us through the process of buying in Queen Anne and three years later in Green Lake. We also bought both homes under the asking price which is unheard of in Seattle. Joseph is available by text, email, and phone and responds to questions immediately. He will also contact the seller, builder, and loan agents if you need information or have questions. He dedicated his days, evenings, and weekends to helping my husband and I find the perfect home and even helped us through part of the buying process while he was on vacation. When we needed work done on our house he provided recommendations for plumbers and painters and even put in phone calls to help us out because we were both busy. Joseph is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to the home buying process, works incredibly hard, is incredibly patient, is trustworthy, and also fun to work with. I highly recommend him.

— Jamie G.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Prior to Joseph, I worked with three other realtors in the last few years both on the buy and sell side of the transaction. Many of them were professional and experienced, but Joseph is the only one who met my full expectations of a realtor. My expectations of my realtor are 1. To be an expert in their profession in understanding the market, purchase price, rental market, and be an effective negotiator 2. Communicate timely and follow through on my expectations 3. Be reliable and trustworthy 4. Lead by example. Joseph fulfilled each of the above, and thus, in less than three months we closed on two multi-family properties. I was interested in buying real estate for rental or investment and without a hard and fast budget or fixed parameters, within a week of looking, we found a charming triplex in Green Lake that was purchased at below-market price and closed within 30 days. Fifteen days later, I had renters paying rent all with the guidance of Joseph. He was a wealth of resource in finding handymen or subcontractors at a bargain to get the property ready for rent and helping me develop a system from advertising the property to screening tenants to being a landlord. Without his guidance and his generosity with his time and knowledge after the transaction, I would not have had the confidence to buy a second 5-plex in Ravenna two months later. Not to mention, the second property closed in less than 30 days because of Joseph's detailed organization and communication with the seller's agent. I respect Joseph's personal experience as a landlord and his willingness to help others build their financial freedom with real estate. His advice and continued handholding have given me the confidence to manage these properties on my own on top of my day job. Further, prior to Joseph, I was willing to buy properties almost anywhere as long as the price was right. With Joseph's guidance, he has helped me develop my own parameters of what makes a good investment, priorities, and using numbers, not emotions, to justify the purchase price. Without his follow-through and continued time and support after the purchase I'd probably still be looking passively online at websites like Zillow to find properties rather than collecting rent. So in short, if you want a professional you can depend on before and after the transaction, who truly understands what makes a great investment, and will teach you how to be a responsible landlord, then Joseph is your Realtor.

— Tina

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

I had a great experience working with Joseph. He went beyond his duty to find a great property in this competitive Seattle market when I was really losing hope. Joseph has a great knack for the market. His ability to write a competitive offer was second to none. I really like his knowledge of the greater Seattle neighborhoods and house values. Some of the great qualities Joseph possesses are: He is always available to answer any questions and he prepared an offer for me within an hour of notification. He passes the best info about the property and never pushes you to buy. He is always very positive. I lost some offers very closely but he kept my motivation very high with his knowledge and keeping my hope. He always looks after your interest in saving money during your purchase process. I would definitely work with him again when the time comes and I would recommend Joseph very highly to anyone.

— Pankaj K.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Whether you are a first-time home-buyer, or a sophisticated investor, Joseph's market expertise, and low-pressure approach contribute highly to his amazing track record. As a successful investor himself, Joseph is able to identify amazing cash-flow opportunities and every time, negotiates great price points for his clients. Joseph takes the time to share his personal insight, as well as really get to know his clients and their objectives. It's evident that Joseph cares about your best interests above and beyond anything, and this is why it is a privilege to work with him.

— Josh

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

My wife and I live in Vancouver Canada. We are looking to buy a rental building in the Greenlake area of Seattle that we eventually will be moving into in a few years. We contacted Joseph Goldberg after we saw his name pop up online. On a trip to Seattle, we met with Joseph and he took us to view a few great buildings that he thought we would like. He gave us his view on each property and on the market overall. He took his time to educate us on the local housing market. We were very impressed with Joseph. He is clearly very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Seattle’s local housing market. We are most impressed with his intelligence. He is very smart and can think outside the box. He shared some of his approaches on how to effectively negotiate and win in a very competitive market like Seattle. We learned that Joseph had a successful career as a software engineer before he turned to follow his passion for Real Estate. And we could really see why. Although we are still looking we know that Joseph is our guy. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to invest in real estate in Seattle. We would like to thank him very much for all his assistance and professionalism in helping us to get to know the Seattle real estate market.

— Benny & Naomi

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

I recently bought a house in Seattle with Joseph as my real estate agent. Joseph has been in real estate in Seattle for a long time, and it shows through his intimate knowledge of neighborhoods, types of properties, market prices, and details of the purchasing process. He is a top-notch professional. Among many things I liked about Joseph, three stood out for me: 1. He is always available and responsible. I can’t remember a time I tried to contact him and didn’t receive a reply either right away or within less than 30 minutes. 2. Joseph is a rockstar in negotiation. He was able to close the house at $50K below an already reasonable asking price, an unheard-of outcome in the crazy Seattle market where the initial asking price is usually just the beginning of a bidding war, and ending 10% above is standard. 3. After the house closed and I got the keys, I needed to do construction and repair work on the house, which is a greenfield area for me as a first-time buyer. Despite his work officially ending at closing, Joseph continued to help with every issue I had. Since he is also a homeowner and landlord himself, he knows the contractors or repairmen market too. He provided recommended professionals to contact, gave valuable advice on which questions to ask, and even came out to the property several times to meet the contractors and help me negotiate. A couple of times I couldn’t make an appointment with a contractor so he came out instead! All that without any additional incentive or compensation. Just shows the level of his incredible commitment to his clients' satisfaction. I will work with Joseph if I’m ever on the real estate market again, and warmly recommend him to others.

— Dan Z.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Joseph was the reason I was able to buy a home first the first time, in a hugely competitive and aggressive market, within both a reasonable schedule and a limited budget. He was willing to give me time to tour a diverse sample of listings to figure out what I needed and what expectations I should have - he was very upfront about my options and engaged in adapting our search to my needs. I thought the hard part was over when we placed an offer, but without Joseph's help, I would have been paralyzed by the task of finding lenders, insurance, and all the rest. He is very resourceful and engaged in the real estate community - he immediately had referrals for me to reach out to. Not only that, be he was a great advocate for me to the end - Joseph was responsive day or night, and he expects others who are working with his clients to do the same. I was an inexperienced home-shopper and it would have been easy for me to get lost in the weeds, but Joseph's expertise, engagement, and get-it-done approach enabled me to move into my new home within a mere months of starting to look.

— Buyer

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

We were very lucky to connect with Joseph on a recent trip to Seattle. We were in town to find an apartment for our daughter who will be moving there in January. Looking at the high rental prices, we quickly changed gears to look at condos which seemed a better investment long-term. Joseph was great at helping us navigate a real estate market that we we not familiar with. He obviously knew his stuff! He lined up several places for us to look at. We flew back to Boston the next day and, with Joseph's superb help, were able to put in an offer, negotiate, and close on a condo in Lower Queen Anne all by phone and electronic signing. We can not say enough about how Joseph was key in making it happen and making the process painless. Great realtor. We will use it again when it is time to sell. Since then, he has gone out of his way to help us with some small items like getting keys, and checking the heat in the condo until my daughter arrives in January. Really "above and beyond" as they say! A+

— Karen E.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

We are so happy that we chose Joseph as our real estate agent. He really loves his job, and he knows how to do it. He was extremely helpful to us! Thank you, Joseph!

— Anton & Valentyna

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Recently completed our second investment property purchase with Joseph. Joseph is extremely professional and knowledgeable and was very effective in fine-tuning our needs and finding the right property for us (including visiting potential properties and expressing his honest opinion). This was super valuable as we could complete the entire process remotely. His experience came into play when extending the offer, and then negotiating the terms throughout the process to be significantly more favorable. He also helped find other professionals (inspection, insurance) and served as our local contact person for every need. He is extremely responsive and was very easy to work with, and we feel very fortunate to have had him on our side.

— Anner K.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

We just bought our first house with Joseph, and totally happy that chose him as our real estate agent. Now Seattle real estate market is overloaded, and it's hard to buy a nice house that meets your expectations and works for your budget. And Joseph was really helpful because he could persuade the seller to sell the house to you. I think, for the Seattle market, it's the most important characteristic of the real estate agent.

— Buyer

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Joseph has been extremely helpful in helping us understand the trade-offs of buying a property of different types (e.g. condo, duplex, etc.), and the differences between various Seattle neighborhoods. He has gone above and beyond in helping us through the negotiation with the seller, guiding us through the process, connecting us to relevant service providers, etc. It's been a much easier experience having Joseph on our side!

— Buyer

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

I always feel like Joseph is looking for the best deal on the property I am looking for. In addition, he keeps his eye out for prospective bargains and developable properties that may suit my needs in the future. And, his knowledge of the local market and current conditions means I can rely on him to find the up-and-coming neighborhoods for good investing.

— Buyer

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

I recommend using Joseph as your Realtor, you won't be disappointed! Joseph helped me sell my Queen Anne condo, a very bittersweet and emotional thing for me personally. I moved away from Seattle, had renters in the unit and was not in town during the whole process. He took ca re of everything and I really appreciated how he continually checked in on me just to make sure I was feeling good. He really went the extra mile in researching the market to ensure a fair price, actually visiting similar units and talking to neighbors rather than just pulling comps. He ensured that the tenants were treated respectfully, not inconvenienced, and that their needs were met. During offer negotiations, he came up with creative ideas so that both parties felt good about the sale. He performed all activities with honesty and respect and, while I'm sad to let the unit go, I'm very happy with the personal service that Joseph provided.

— Mary

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Joseph was a wonderful agent to work with and have on your side. He knows the Seattle market inside and out, which was helpful for us as we embarked on the journey to find our first home. When walking through properties he has a really good eye for how homes could be updated or renovated and what aspects needed fixing. He prepared us for how quickly things moved and was extremely responsive to our needs. Joseph guided us through the process of putting forward our strongest offers and different strategies to stand out. We feel unbelievably grateful to have our new home and we could not have done it without Joseph! We would highly recommend him.

— Rob & Devon L.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

We had exceptionally good and personal experience with Joseph Goldberg as our Realtor. He took time to understand our needs and preferences, to show us various neighborhoods and investment properties, and to share with us his deep knowledge and broad practical experience. When you work with Joseph, you have a good experienced friend on your side - there is no detail too small for him, no question that he won't answer. He always looks after you and keeps your best interest as his top priority. Joseph is very proactive and very responsive. His assistance and guidance were instrumental in our purchase. We had been planning on investing in real estate for several years with no progress, but as soon as we started to work with Joseph, within just several weeks we found a dream property - size, location, price everything was exactly what we were looking for and hoped for. His deep knowledge and understanding of the market backed by easy-to-understand charts and lots of invaluable tips, helped us a lot in deciding on buying the rental property. Joseph has several rental properties and has incredible practical experience with buying, remodeling, and renting apartments in the Seattle area. Furthermore, Joseph provided us with valuable advice on how to get ahead with the purchase in a strong sellers’ market. His negotiating skills helped save us over $67,000 of the list price! His assistance did not end there. He provided us with a lot of guidance on how to get started as landlords. It was a big step for us and we are so grateful that Joseph was with us on this journey. We are very happy with our purchase and with our new level of understanding of Seattle's real estate market, which was gained through Joseph's generous support. We will definitely consider using Joseph again for our next investment as well as when it is time to sell our own home and move to a better one. I highly recommend Joseph Goldberg!

— Kira

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

I would highly recommend Joseph to be your Realtor. He will work diligently to get things done for you like he did for us. Joseph has high integrity for his customers, he is very logical, and with his experience and common sense, he will make sure that you are not going to make the wrong decision. I found Joseph to be having good negotiation skills; he is timely, responsive, accurate, and extremely well-reasoned. He is a good communicator and will keep you updated to date on what is going on with the transaction. There are not enough good things that I can say about his abilities and expertise in the Seattle real estate field. There are many agents to choose from but in my opinion, Joseph has the important combination of experience, intelligence, business, and common sense that makes him stand out from the pack of other good agents. With him it is not just to make the transaction happen, it’s more of a long-term relationship and will continue to serve your needs.

— David

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Josef provided us with a great end-to-end professional experience and managed to close a difficult deal in a very competitive market. We chose Josef through a friend’s recommendation and he did not disappoint. If you need a real estate agent who makes a difference and gives you the edge, Joseph is certainly the one! Very experienced, friendly, patient, and business savvy. Thanks.

— Amit & Danielle

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Wow. That's the word I come up with when I think about the experience of working with Joseph to purchase a building. I've worked with many realtors over the years but have never met a realtor with Joseph's intelligence, integrity, shrewdness, accessibility, and willingness to work hard. The purchase was a complex transaction with lots of moving pieces. Joseph was always accessible and more than willing to lend his time and talents to any decision or assist with troubleshooting. Joseph is a skilled negotiator who placed my interests first at all times. I am convinced that you cannot go wrong with having Joseph on your team in any real estate transaction.

— Buyer

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

An investing partner and I recently worked with Joseph on a rental property purchase. We were hugely impressed with Joseph's talent for real estate. My business partner and I had worked with other realtors in the past, but it became quickly apparent that Joseph was operating on a whole other level. His intimate knowledge of the local market, extensive experience as an investor himself, and sage advice were absolutely invaluable. Joseph is now clearly our number-one choice for real estate deals.

— Mike

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Bought a multi-family home in 2020 in Seattle, WA. Joseph is very knowledgeable in the Seattle market. He gives good advice and helps make the right decisions, but at the same time not put too much pressure on the client to move forward if they need to take some time or explore more options.

— Buyer

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Joseph is driven and dedicated to his work and is a pleasure to work with. The house I ended up purchasing was not on my list of places to look at, as it was not within my budget. Joseph was able to negotiate a lower price for me, and I am very happy with my purchase! He was always on time for appointments, very knowledgeable about the Seattle area and market, and had a lot of great tips to share. Thank you, Joseph!

— Ayanna W.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Joseph helped me buy my first condo. I was referred to him through an online listing search engine. My transaction was straightforward but Joseph adeptly guided me through the process. He identified a few leverage points in getting my offer accepted, one of which was offering a fast close time. He identified and addressed my personal concerns by, for example, referring me to a condo consultant to help review the HOA documents in a timely manner.

— Jm R.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Best real estate agent in the area. Joseph went the extra mile for us getting the price we wanted and ensuring all our conditions were met. We felt we were in the best hands through the process.

— Shai H.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

It was a pleasure to work with Joseph! He was super responsible and reachable to show the property that matched the criteria, always ready to address all our concerns or explain why certain things matter or not. It took a while for us to find a dream house, but he kept being optimistic and energetic about it. And we are particularly thankful for the suggestions around the bidding strategy, as we won the house and saved some money! His partner house inspector and escrow were great - we were able to close the house on a tight deadline with no issues.

— Buyer

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

We were looking for a real estate rental investment property. Joseph helped us to buy a nice condo in Fremont. Joseph has an intimate knowledge of the local real estate market. He is highly experienced in locating a property that meets the client's specific requirements. He notified us when the right condo unit at the right price came to the market and advised us on the offer price that he believed the seller would most likely accept. He also helped us decide if it was a good investment using a detailed spreadsheet for worst and best-case scenarios. He is highly knowledgeable in the entire bidding process, including the inspection, effective negotiation management (with his leadership we improved the price very significantly), and closing the transaction. He was there to guide and walk us through the process and give his expert advice, always keeping your best interest as his top priority. A week after closing, Joseph helped us find tenants and sign a lease with them. He was extremely helpful in finding handymen to get the property ready for rental in a very short time. His commitment to your best interests continues beyond the transaction itself, it's more of a long-term relationship. Joseph is highly professional, extremely reliable, and trustworthy. The combination of expertise and integrity with which he managed this transaction effectively, accurately, and quickly gave us the confidence to enter the real estate market and we will definitely use his services again and recommend him to all our friends.

— Jonathan

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

5-star service all the way, which is exactly what you'll get working with Joseph. Joseph knows the Seattle area well, is aware of what's going on in the market and was absolutely on top of everything that mattered. I relied on him completely. His honesty and integrity place him a cut above the rest. He knows his stuff and is forthright without being pushy. Would I work with Joseph again? Absolutely.

— Buyer & Seller

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Joseph is knowledgeable, responsive, and has high integrity. I've bought two houses with Joseph in the last 2 months - my first rental property in Licton Springs and a smaller home a block from Tangletown that we'll use to build our new family home. Joseph is very knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to evaluating the income and development potential of rental properties. We were the only offer and were able to close under the asking price despite the hot market. Now 2 months later, I have great cash flow and plans to double the income from the property with some minor development projects over the next two years. Even after the sale, Joseph is still being helpful by sharing lease documents, contractors, and advertising services he uses with his own properties. Joseph is very responsive (he says 24/7), and he always alerted us to newly available properties the same day they listed, which was very important in our Tangletown purchase. He also advises on the offer terms and has a very accurate sense of the final sales price in this crazy time of multiple offers and escalations when hot properties list and sell in 3-7 days. We were in a competitive situation with the second home and we won the property just $5K above the second-best offer. I would recommend Joseph for anywhere in North Seattle and probably Capitol Hill, Montlake, and Queen Anne too.

— Mike A.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

If you want an agent that will atom tirelessly. Joseph is the one who would work endlessly till you find the right house. Joseph showed me numerous buildings and was knowledgeable about the property and the neighborhood.

— Simon

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Joseph was an insightful, attentive, and efficient agent who worked tirelessly to find, show, and make offers on homes that we loved. He was extremely flexible with his schedule and made each step in the home-buying process easy, from expediently contacting sellers to using his network of professionals in the industry to give us good advice and excellent service. I feel lucky to have run into Joseph, and we know we can rely on him in the future for any real estate questions we have.

— Colin H. & Piper S.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

For those of you looking to buy a home in the Seattle area. I'm sorry. The market is going absolutely insane right now in terms of high demand and low supply. It is a frustrating process, but here is my advice, contact Joseph ASAP. My wife and I started looking for places back in October or November 2015 and reached out to several agents. They were either exceedingly negative (e.g. you don't have enough money to buy in this market), or exceedingly optimistic (this run-down piece of crap just needs a little TLC: it doesn't matter that the walls are literally falling down). We even went so far as to contact agents from Redfin and were extremely disappointed with the utter lack of knowledge. That is when we found Joseph. In the modern world, the days of telling an agent what you want and having him show you a dozen homes or so aren't really around. Rather, with online tools and extremely fast sales it has become a race of sorts. Scour the MLS database until something somewhat hits your interest and get out to see it that day and decide, otherwise, you might be left behind, or miss out. Joseph was great in a few key areas. First, he was extremely responsive and available. Even with last-minute, "this just came on the market we need to look at it now" phone calls, he was able to accommodate nearly every whim we had, which is above and beyond every other agent we talked to. The second key area of excellence was his depth of knowledge, not just of the real estate market, nor just his knowledge of what it takes to win an offer or bidding war, but also his knowledge regarding homes, buildings, fixing, costs, and all of the other things people often don't realize they should know. We would walk into a home and he would do what I call an "impromptu inspection", tell you what was wrong, what needed to be fixed, how difficult it is to do this, or how expensive it would be to pay someone else. I believe that this knowledge comes from his years (decades?) of experience as a landlord. This has given him a special set of skills that I have not seen in any other agents. The final thing I want to touch on regarding Joseph is his understanding of what it takes to win an offer. It's not just that he can tell you things that can help, but it is that he can explain the why and the how of the offer details. For example, assume that you are about to put in an offer on a hot property and are fairly certain that it will end in a bidding war (typical of Seattle right now). He has the knowledge of tips and tricks, concessions, etc. that can make your offer stand out from the others. While other agents may know of some tips or tricks, with Joseph it is different. He really knows the game and he can explain, in ELI5 terms, what it is that you are conceding or agreeing to and why it makes your offer more powerful. Joseph was a great agent and I credit his knowledge in getting us, not the home of our dreams (we're not multi-millionaires), but a hot home in the neighborhood we have come to love. TL;DR: He knows his stuff.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Joseph has been our agent for a while and he is simply wonderful. He was always very friendly, knowledgeable, experienced, and patient. He answered all of our zillion questions (we're not very easy clients) and was always positive and helpful. He was also available to talk to us in the late hours (after our kids went to bed), and even during his vacation when we really needed his advice. He also managed to help us close on a pretty unusual purchase, where some repairs needed to be done in a tight time frame, and he guided us very well through this uncertainty until the successful close. He simply went above and beyond to make sure we closed the deal in the best way possible. Some of his advice really made the difference between succeeding and failing, including when facing many competitors. I have strongly recommended Joseph to all of our friends who even remotely expressed interest in real estate investments.
