Nice to meet you

Hi, I’m Josh, your Ottawa realtor.

Buying or selling a home is a big deal, and it should feel like you have someone in your corner. Whether you’re just starting to think about a move or you’re ready to go, I’m happy to talk it through. No pressure, just straight answers.

I was born and raised in Ottawa. Before real estate, I spent years working in radio. Talking with people every day is second nature to me, and I make sure my clients always know exactly what’s going on.

I help buyers, sellers and renters right across the city, from downtown condos to a bungalow on two acres out in Osgoode. Wherever you’re headed, I’ll help you see the whole picture before you decide.

In my spare time, I teach yoga. It keeps me calm and focused, and I bring that same steady energy to what can be a stressful process.

Ottawa isn’t just where I work. It’s home, and I’d love to help you find your place in it.

Talk soon,
Josh

Dave B.Ottawa home buyer

Josh is an honest and approachable person, and a knowledgeable resource on realty, whose care and attention put me at ease during tough decision making. He was generous with his wisdom on strategy, market conditions, and advertising. I’m truly grateful to have worked with him on a personal and professional level.

I loved working with Josh. He made what could have been a stressful process (buying my first property) as fun as it was thorough and personalized to what I wanted and needed. Josh listened to me, supported me and was patient with my decision-making process. I ended up in the property I was meant to be in. Thanks to Josh! Would happily recommend anyone to work with him.
