Commercial & Residential
With Josh . . . It’s “ All About YOU!” He is a full service, “all about YOU” Realtor who is eager to assist you with finding or selling your home. Before pursuing a career in real estate, his professional career began in the Private Country Club Industry. Born and raised in Southern Florida, Josh was a tennis professional and instructor. Through tennis, he learned some very useful skills: how to work successfully in a fast paced environment, how to ensure client satisfaction while mastering the skills of attention to detail, how to listen, the importance of team work and being a team player and how to do it all while creating a fun environment . . . skills that now serve him well in his practice of Real Estate.
His tennis career led him to Greenville, which he has called home for many years now. If you ask Josh about Greenville, he’ll say, “ I LOVE that Greenville is consistently ranked one of the nation’s top cities to live in, with the appeal of a big city with small town hospitality and southern charm. He understands how searching for that special home or selling your existing home can be both stressful and overwhelming. His goal is to make your real estate experience exciting, smooth and rewarding.

His home away from home is Lake Hartwell, which is one of many beautiful lakes in South Carolina. He enjoys boating, tubing and grilling out with his family. Josh’s parents were both born and raised in Ohio and brought him up on Ohio sports. So, he is a die-hard Cavs, Indians and Browns fan! And, of course, let’s not forget THE Ohio State Buckeyes!
