My previous business background and experience helps me to understand my customer’s needs and be highly effective in negotiations. I am straightforward and honest, no sugar coating or cutting corners. I am your advocate and work for YOU! These are the qualities I guarantee you get when you trust me to help you with your real estate transactions: Reliability. Commitment. Extremely Responsive. Available at all times. (Do try!)
It was my first home buying experience, and I am extremely grateful for all his help with it. I was intimidated by all the whatnot that home buying entails, and Joseph was endlessly available and helpful with what I needed to do next. Especially when I got the bad news that the first home, I offered on had massive foundation issues. He knows how the market and process works and what your best move is likely to be and makes what is a stressful, difficult process as easy as it’s reasonably possible to be.

Joseph is my amazing dad, but little did I know he is also an exceptional realtor. Being first-time homebuyers, my girlfriend and I were initially scared of many unknowns and fearful we would make bad decisions. Having Joseph as our agent made all those fears fade away. We were able to trust him and his advice which led us to make our dream home a reality after outbidding 7 other offers. His combination of being viciously well-informed, rapidly responsive, and an excellent negotiator makes him a valuable asset in this crazy Portland market. I can guarantee he’ll treat you like family.

Joseph was able to get us into our new home in 26 days! . . . When we found our dream home he checked in with the other agent and us every day until they made their decision on offers . . . Not only did we beat out 4 other offers above listed price, but he was spot on on what the top offer would be. I would highly recommend Joseph as he understood our needs, knew how to deal with this crazy Portland market, and was realistic and honest with us the whole time. I couldn’t be happier with our home.
