With more than a decade of experience helping buyers and sellers across Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia, Joshua brings a level of insight and poise that only comes from guiding hundreds of clients through every type of real estate journey. His career spans first-time homebuyers finding their footing, global CEOs relocating to the capital region, military families navigating tight timelines, and international clients seeking strategic opportunities from abroad. No matter the client or price point, Joshua’s approach is defined by professionalism, clarity, and a commitment to delivering exceptional results.
A Vice President with TTR Sotheby’s International Realty, Joshua pairs his lifelong connection to real estate, rooted in a family heritage of property management and construction, with the discipline and creativity he honed during his early career as a professional opera singer. This unique blend of precision, empathy, and performance-ready confidence serves his clients well, whether he is preparing a home for market, crafting a winning offer, or negotiating the finer points of a complex contract.
Well-versed in the nuances of the region’s varied contracts and local market dynamics, Joshua offers unmatched knowledge of both current and upcoming inventory across the entire DMV.

His discerning eye, thoughtful communication style, and unwavering dedication make him a trusted advisor to clients from all walks of life, and an exceptional partner for anyone seeking to buy or sell a home in the Washington metropolitan area.
While experienced in the full gamut of DC-area homes, styles, and architecture, the mid-century modern homes and designs of the 1950s and 60s hold a special place in his heart, and he knows exactly where the area’s most authentic examples are hidden.
Joshua lives in the bustling neighborhood of NoMA, DC, and can often be found brunching along 16th Street, working out at a local gym, serving the community at his spiritual home, Foundry United Methodist Church, or spending a Saturday evening taking in a new opera or musical around town.

What Joshua’s clients say…
“He makes you feel like you are his only client when he and his team have many (with much higher incomes than ours). He learns from each interaction (with us) and brings those learnings to the next meeting/house/conversation/etc.“
“I didn't know much about the home-buying process and Joshua explained each step at my pace and knowledge level. He made great recommendations, but also gave me options. With his help, I was able to make informed decisions at every step.”
“What we appreciated most about working with him was that he was honest and good-humored”
“Joshua was attentive and recognized that my dog factored highly in my decision :).”
“It’s a testament to Joshua’s professionalism that he never pressured us to compromise or made us feel like we were wasting his time. When we finally found the condo we wanted to buy, Joshua represented us brilliantly and our purchase went off without a hitch. He did a similarly fine job listing our old townhouse and executing the sale of that property.”
“Joshua is not the first realtor we have worked with, but he is absolutely the best!! With Joshua's guidance and expertise, we had the smoothest purchase we've ever experienced. He hit absolutely every point on target, on time, with our best interests in mind.“
