It’s my role to ensure they are making the best, most informed decisions possible,” Joshua says. This is true whether it’s a first-timer or someone looking to add to a portfolio, trade up, or downsize their living space. Real estate can seem daunting, but it doesn’t need to be and Joshua is eager to provide answers. “We are proud to offer the Compass Concierge program, which can help prepare your home for sale and make the necessary improvements, which can result in a faster sale at a better price with no up-front cost to the seller,” Joshua says. It’s one of many solutions and options that Joshua can offer, including programs and loans custom tailored to each client, enabling them to finance their dreams. Born in San Diego, where his father was involved in real estate, Joshua studied at U.C. Davis before transferring to UCLA, where he played Bruins football.
