Buying or selling a home is one of the most important decisions you will make, and you want the right professional to guide you through the process.
Whether you are a first-time home-buyer, experienced homeowner hoping to sell your home in a tight market, or an investor looking to sell or buy a property, I will use my wealth of experience and negotiating skills to provide you with outstanding guidance and service while saving you money.
I have a master's degree in software engineering, but my passion is real estate. Unlike most other real estate agents, I started my career as a real estate investor.
Over the last 20+ years, I've bought and sold many residential and commercial properties for myself. I have built my own home and remodeled over a dozen other properties. I currently own numerous rental properties. I will share my experience with on how to be successful in finding, owning and operating properties
With my engineering and remodeling experience, I can help you evaluate the condition of a property and the cost to bring it up to your standards. As your agent I will share my list of contacts to reliable handymen, contractors and other professionals.
I will educate, guide you, and use my negotiation skills to make sure you are successful in getting the perfect home or investment property.
Let's work together to help you meet your goals.
We recently completed our first apartment purchase with Joseph as my agent.
Joseph is a experienced agent that has deep knowledge about the local real estate market.
He was a valuable resource for us as we didn't have experience in buying a house, he took care of every aspect of the process, including inspection and was able to negotiate a good discount for us.
He is honest, responsive and trustworthy. I highly recommend working with Joseph as your agent.
I recently bought a house in Seattle with Joseph as my real-estate agent. Joseph has been in real estate in Seattle for a long time, and it shows through his intimate knowledge of neighborhoods, types of properties, market prices and details of the purchasing process. He is a top notch professional. Among many things I liked about Joseph, three stood out for me:
1. He is always available and responsible. I can’t remember a time I tried to contact him and didn’t receive a reply either righ...see more
Joseph is a nice and professional realtor with the sense of responsibility Who I'd like to recommend highly.
It is more difficult to purchase a house especially a rental property for a nonnative person.I was luck enough to meet Joseph who gave me so many helps both in the purchase and even after. He was always available and extremely patient when I needed his help at any time.
Because of his hard work, I became a new owner in a month and a landlord in about 10 days!
Thanks Joseph! It's real...see more
5 star service all the way, which is exactly what you'll get working with Joseph. Joseph knows the Seattle area well, is aware of what's going on in the market, and was absolutely on top of everything that mattered. I relied on him completely. His honesty and integrity places him a cut above the rest. He knows his stuff, and is forthright without being pushy. Would I work with Joseph again? Absolutely.
Joseph was an insightful, attentive, and efficient agent who worked tirelessly to find, show, and make offers on homes that we loved! He was extremely flexible with his schedule and made each step in the home buying process easy, from expediently contacting sellers to using his network of professionals in the industry to give us good advice and excellent service. I feel lucky to have run into Joseph, and we know we can rely on him in the future for any real estate questions we have.
I originally contacted Joseph about another condo property. He was easy to communicate and arrange time to view the space. When the listing for the property I eventually purchased came available that same week, he was also quick to show me that property before the open house was held. I decided to offer that day and he quickly drew up all the documents and we were able to submit the offer within 2 hours of seeing the space. Glad we did too, we were the first offer & they accepted!

We had exceptionally good and personal experience with Joseph Goldberg as our Realtor. He took time to understand our needs and preferences, to show us various neighborhoods and investments properties, to share with us his deep knowledge and broad practical experience. When you work with Joseph, you have a good experienced friend on your side - there is no detail too small for him, no question that he won't answer. He always looks after you and keeps your best interest as his top priority. Josep...see more
For those of you looking to buy a home in the Seattle area. . .I'm sorry. The market is going absolutely insane right now in terms of high demand and low supply. It is a frustrating process, but here is my advice, contact Joseph ASAP. My wife and I started looking for places back in October/November 2015 and reached out to several agents. They were either exceedingly negative (e.g. you don't have enough money to buy in this market), or exceedingly optimistic (this run down piece of crap just nee...see more
Joseph is knowledgeable, responsive, and has high integrity. I've bought two houses with Joseph in the last 2 months - my first rental property in Licton Springs and a smaller home a block from Tangletown that we'll use to build our new family home.
Joseph is very knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to evaluating income and development potential of rental properties. We were the only offer and were able to close under the asking price despite the hot market. Now 2 months later, I have ...see more
My husband and I were first-time home buyers and Joseph's expert knowledge of Seattle real estate market and outstanding dedication to find us a home of our dreams was invaluable. He was always available to us throughout the whole process by his cell and email and always took time to address any of our concerns. He referred us to excellent mortgage brokers, home inspectors and contractors. He was there to immediately arrange showings of any properties we thought we might like, including the ones...see more
Joseph has been our agent for a while and he is simply wonderful.
He was always very friendly, knowledgable, experienced, and patient. He answered all of our zillion questions (we're not very easy clients), and was always positive and helpful.
He was also available to talk to us in late hours (after our kids went to bed), and even during his vacation when we really needed his advice.
He also managed to help us close on a pretty unusual purchase, where some repairs were needed to be done in a...see more

I will highly recommend and wi...see more
Joseph knows real estate, and understands the market very well. His knowledge makes it easier to make the right offer to get the property in this competitive housing market. He was very responsive to requests to see houses, and was very accommodating to our hectic schedules.
I recommend using Joseph as your Realtor, you won't be disappointed! Joseph helped me sell my Queen Anne condo, a very bittersweet and emotional thing for me personally. I moved away from Seattle, had renters in the unit and was not in town during the whole process. He took ca re of everything and I really appreciated how he continually checked in on me just to make sure I was feeling good. He really went the extra mile in researching the market to ensure a fair price, actually visiting similar...see more
Joseph helped us purchase a duplex, and prepare it for sale when the time came. He also helped us with the purchase of a new multi-family unit. He is very experienced and knowledgeable, and has a lot of patience. Altogether, I can highly recommend Joseph both for purchasing and selling real estate, and we will certainly make use of his services in the future.
We were very lucky to connect with Joseph on a recent trip to Seattle. We were in town to find an apartment for our daughter who will be moving there in January. Looking at the high rental prices, we quickly changed gears to look at condos which seemed a better investment long-term. Joseph was great helping us navigate a real estate market that we we not familiar with. He obviously knew his stuff! He lined up several places for us to look at. We flew back to Boston the next day and, with Joseph'...see more
Joseph was a wonderful agent to work with and have on your side. He knows the Seattle market inside and out, which was helpful for us as we embarked on the journey to find our first home. When walking through properties he has a really good eye for how homes could be updated or renovated and what aspects needed fixing. He prepared us for how quickly things moved and was extremely responsive to our needs. Joseph guided us through the process of putting forward our strongest offers and differe...see more
Joseph did a fantastic job! He consistently found us great properties to view and when it came time to write our first offer he really helped guide us through every step of the process. Several times we were interested in homes with multiple offers and we wouldn't be in our new home today without Joseph's savvy negotiating. Highly recommend him!
