‟With Joe we were able to sell our mom's home in Manhattan efficiently and with a minimum amount of effort. Joe gave us sound advice all along the way. - Margaret Friedmann Selling our mom's house, Joe always had our best interests in mind and took the time to help us through each step of the process. The process was so convenient for me. I don't live nearby and was able to review and sign much of the paperwork remotely. - Leslie Goodbody” Read More ▾

‟With a tight timeframe for my move out from my rental, along with various unique contingencies, in the midst of a very limited 2023 home inventory and high interest rates, the real estate market for me as a buyer was extremely competitive and challenging. Joe listened patiently and carefully addressed my needs, responding thoughtfully to my many questions. Joe is smart, experienced, and broadly knowledgeable not only in the basic fundamentals of Los Angeles real estate, but he goes above and beyond to provide deeper insights into home value characteristics to seek out, shares valuable financial planning tools and templates, explains tax implications and advantages, and shares detailed timeline planning. Joe is a balanced spirit of reasonable practicality and enthusiastic positivity.” Read More ▾

Jeff & Mary Ann Bayot

It can get confusing and overwhelming but Joe was there every step of the way and answered all of our questions promptly and patiently. His knowledge of the market gave us confidence that we were making the right decisions. Joe went above and beyond his role as our agent and we are truly grateful!” Read More ▾

David & Linda Landis

‟I originally met in 2019 and was very impressed with Joe when he was the Realtor for my neighbor in our three-unit condo.  Late last year I found myself in a position where I urgently needed to sell my home and relocate out of state.  I was by myself and needed help in packing my belongings and clearing out my home of 30+ years.  Joe stepped in and went far beyond the call of duty in helping me to get everything done on time.  My home was sold and the sale closed in record time.  My appreciation for what Joe did for me cannot be expressed in just a few words…it would require a book!  Joe is, in my opinion, the best Realtor on the planet.” Read More ▾

He understands our requirements and understands the different seller's offers. His process of focusing on our needs and matching them with a property saved us time. Joe gave us real estate know-how and confidence when we needed it. Joe's expertise gave us a step up and provided that heads-up start in our evaluation of homes. He led us to what we required to understand and win over a property. In this hot housing real estate market, Joes' advice was valuable. We could see a property we liked in our search for the right property. Joe explained the ins and outs before we walked in. Without hesitation, Joe would meet us at an interesting property.

‟Joe and I met in July 2010 when I chose him to list my childhood home of 53 years. I enlisted his services again in November 2021 when I was ready to sell another family home of 54 years. Both homes sold quickly, and closed on time, with Joe’s expert handling of both transactions. I liked Joe from our first meeting. He is soft-spoken and listens to your needs. He is extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market and finance, which is very comforting when looking for someone to represent you in one of the most expensive business transactions of your life. He handles everything himself from listing day through the close of escrow. Joe is the person I would go to if I ever need to sell another home. I’m sure he is just as diligent when representing a buyer. I respect him for his integrity and honesty in his business dealings and would highly recommend him for your real estate needs.” Read More ▾

Naoko Iida

‟I could only devote so much time to the details of buying my home so I trusted Joe to guide me.  My faith and confidence in him were well-placed.  The process went more smoothly than I ever could have imagined.  I was presented information in a timely manner without feeling overwhelmed and, whenever I needed him, he was always immediately available.  I am most grateful.” Read More ▾

‟This was our home for over 30 years and a lot had been accumulated.  Joe provided numerous resources to assist me in getting the home ready for sale.  And he even pitched in with some yard work!  And he continues to help me even after escrow has closed!  I can't imagine receiving any better guidance than what he gave me.  Joe was so patient and understanding throughout the 4-5 months we worked together.  I am grateful he was with me through this process.” Read More ▾

Ralph & Jean Gabuat

‟This was our very first home purchase and Joe provided us with invaluable educational material to review before we started visiting homes.  We felt really comfortable and confident by the time we started making offers.  We were so prepared and knew how everything flowed.  Joe was there at every turn, responding quite promptly to any questions or concerns we had as well as taking proactive actions to prevent potential issues from coming up.  We will gladly and strongly suggest his services to our friends and anyone else.” Read More ▾

Max & Machiko Tojo

‟We couldn't have asked for more from Joe.  He was extremely patient in this tough market for buyers as we searched for home throughout Torrance, San Pedro, and Long Beach.  We worked with him before and knew how proficient he was with every single aspect of buying and selling real estate.  We are so appreciative of his services and knowledge.”

Tim Wong

‟Joe is an agent unlike any of the other agents I've worked with in the past.  His deep knowledge of so many aspects of real estate was rather impressive, yet he also provided a comforting human touch when needed.  I could go into detail but he went well above and beyond what I believe is customarily expected from an agent. I recommend Joe with the highest enthusiasm to anyone who is looking for home.   He'll give highly valuable insight into the purchase while being there every step of the way.  ” Read More ▾
