Working with Josh Hall and his real estate team to sell our rental home was a perfect experience. I have absolutely nothing negative to say; only good. If you want to know why, read my story below. If you don't have the time for that, just know you can't hire a better agent and team to help you sell your home. The first time we approached Josh to discuss selling our rental, he asked us what we needed to make off of the sale and how fast we would want to close. After some research, Josh advised us to hold onto the house for a year, because the market had not recovered enough to produce results we wanted. Though disappointed at the time, I appreciated his honesty and willingness to delay his success to ensure ours. And luckily for us, we were not in a hurry. Just under a year later we got back in touch. Josh once again did his research and this time came back with great news. The market had continued to improve and it was a good time to list our rental. We set up a time to meet at the house for a walk-through. To my horror, our renters had done a large amount of cosmetic damage to the house in a very short amount of time. Josh did not turn and walk away (like I wanted to). Instead, he completed the walk-through giving me a thoughtful list of things to address in order to make it ready to be sold. He even gave me a "gut" estimate of what my budget should be for making these repairs. It took me two solid months to clean, repair, and refinish the home to a like new status. All along the way, Josh was in touch. While I felt like my progress was slow, he remained patient and encouraging so I'd meet our goal to list the house by June. And his estimate of what it would take in terms of money to fix up the house was spot on. It was nice to have this level of support and expertise. As my refurb project neared completion, Josh increased his frequency of communication, so we could efficiently time the steps needed to get the listing up. His team managed the staging, photography, for sale sign installation (including locating utilities), and an open house. Josh then advised me on pricing strategy; with the goal to draw enough traffic to solicit multiple offers above asking. The strategy was a success. Within a few days, we received three solid offers on our home, and all were more than 7% over asking. Josh helped us select the best offer based on sale price and the quality of the terms. Within about 5 days of listing the property we had a sale. The inspection and appraisal that followed went smoothly, but didn't come without it's own stress and anxiety. Josh and his team helped settle my nerves by explaining the process and giving me updates all along the way. The absolute best part of the selling process was how easy it was to communicate with Josh and his team. No question was too dumb, and response time was very fast. Selecting an agent is an important decision. I believe we got the great results we did as a result of Josh and his team members behind the scenes (to name a few: Janice, Kristen, and Jeff). I am looking forward to my next opportunity to refer them and use them again myself. read more

We began talking to Josh Hall about 14 months before we listed our house for sale. When Josh first came out and visited with us, he gave us some suggestions to help us increase the value of our home and make our home stand out from the others that would be on the market. Over the course of those 14 months, Josh would call and check in with us to see if we needed help with items and to let us know what was going on in the market, and sometimes just to say hello. In February, about two months before listing, even though Josh had continued to make contact with us and offer assistance, we still wanted to make sure that we getting the best listing agent for the job. We reached out to a couple other agents that we knew were familiar with the real estate market in our area. After talking to the others and their marketing strategy, our thoughts were confirmed that Josh Hall and his team were the best choice. Throughout the next two months Josh was instrumental in helping us to navigate the process of preparing our home to list. Josh and his team were there at every step and made navigating the listing process very easy and straight forward. On picture day, Josh was here about 30 minutes before Kristin showed up to take the pictures to help us prepare for them. As soon as the house went live on the MLS he called to let me know and within 30 minutes we began receiving phone calls from agents with interested buyers. On the day that we chose to review all offers submitted, we had received multiple offers, all of them were above asking price and we chose the best offer. Throughout the appraisal, inspection, escrow, and closing process, Janice from Josh's team was sending us update e-mails advising of the process on each of those steps. Receiving those update e-mails throughout this process helped to alleviate a lot of stress and anxiety. 37 days after accepting the best offer, we closed on our home sale. My wife and I could not have been happier with the quality of work and professionalism of Josh Hall and his team. If you choose Josh and his team to assist you in selling your home, you will be very happy with him and his teams service. read more

Hey There!! We are The Rose family and we wanted to give a huge shout out to Josh Hall and his team! We can't thank him enough for helping us get our first family home! Josh went above and beyond from day one. We were in the market for an apartment and weren't liking anything we were touring. So, we decided to quickly check out Zillow for what options there might be in our price range. Immediately, the posting for OUR NOW HOME (gah! so awesome!) popped up! Unfortunately, the open house was going to be happening on a day we wouldn't be in town. We then decided to take a risk and request a showing for that day! Within minutes, Josh replied and asked if we could meet him at the condo in an hour or so. Woah! So awesome! That level of attentiveness and care was just above and beyond. To top it all off... It was the day of his 10 yr anniversary with his wife! (Don't worry though, we met in the early afternoon so he still took out his lovely wife to celebrate. ;) ) Anyway, after meeting him and seeing the condo. We knew it had to be our home. So Josh made it happen. He was both the listing and buyer's agent and was completely fair and helpful through the whole process. As someone who has worked in and around real estate teams and professionals, I (Mama Rose) can honestly say that Josh and his team are some of the best people I have ever worked with and I look forward to working with him again when our family grows! Bottom line: We would recommend Josh Hall and his team to anyone and everyone looking to buy their first, second, or hundredth home! They are caring, professional, and treat you like family. Thanks again everyone for making our first home a memorable one and experience!! Best, The Roses read more

Due to health issues, we moved our dad out of the house he loved in Tacoma. This house was built in 1910, an old farmhouse on a large property set at the end of a gravel road and was surrounded by other similar old homes on property. Needless to say, our dad's home was going to be quite a different type of sale with very few comparable homes to use for pricing. Plus, even though the house was maintained and loved, it had issues. I knew we needed someone we could trust. My husband and I hired Josh several years ago to sell our own house and from that experience, as well as Josh helping us find our current dream house, we knew that he had the type of knowledge, trustworthiness and savvy to take on the sale of my dad's house. While I was consumed with caring for my dad due to his health issues, Josh and his team totally carried the ball from start to finish on the sale of my dad's house. Not only did Josh kick into gear and help us with professionals to take care of issues needing immediate attention with the house, but Josh also compassionately kept me on task and informed at every step, even when I wasn't really paying attention to the house sale at all. I basically gave the whole thing over to Josh and his team. I trusted him and them that much. Amazingly, Josh quickly found us multiple offers, even with the uniqueness of the house and property and sold the home for more than what we had even thought it would garner. We are so so grateful to Josh on so many levels. During a very difficult time, my dad passed away prior to the final sale, Josh acted like a family member and took care of everything related to the sale of my dad's beloved home. read more

We worked with Josh Hall and his team in selling our first home and I would say the process went flawless. They initiated an open house, as well as, kept us updated on every agent who showed their clients our home and gave us any input on their decisions. We were able to get a great offer in matter of days! While we were working with Josh on selling our home, we worked with one of Josh's associates, Jeff Knapp, in searching for a new home and viewing all available homes. Jeff was absolutely awesome! He kept in constant communication with my wife and I, he listened to every word that we were requesting in a new home and he came through with between 1-5 showings almost daily. We were very picky in this decision, but Jeff was great and understandable in every way and we were able to find the perfect home for our family. Unfortunately, we were not able to continue past the appraisal phase due to all personal issues, but that still did not stop Jeff and Josh in continuing their constant help and support. This team did not treat us like a number, but treated us like family the entire time and once we get back to being able to buy again, we are definitely going with Josh and his team. We bought our first house from them in 2014 and since then, they still have invited us to client events and gatherings such as Rainier's game, Dinners, and Josh and his team even started up a Toy Drive event for families and the kids that not only supports their own clients, but also supports the entire community and their families. read more

My husband and I were looking to find a home closer to our work and after years of living in a great community but in a condo, were also looking for some privacy and space in a quiet suburban setting. Josh Hall and his team were a great fit for our family. They worked around both our schedules, happily included our 6 month old in the house hunting process, and had an excellent understanding of the local market finding neighborhoods we hadn't thought about and giving us room to weigh the pros and cons of each area. We were able to find a beautiful home with a stunning view (something we didn't event think we could get in this market), that is close to everything but has a sense of privacy and is more perfect for us than we thought we could find. We were extremely pleased with how they negotiated, kept us informed, and worked with our lender. They also sold our condo very successfully. They found the perfect way to highlight what we loved so much about it and appeal to people looking for a condo. They also spent the time educating us on how to best place our home on the market to get a great offer. Everyone we worked with on his team was professional, prompt, and straight forward and clear. Even though we found our dream home and can't imagine a more perfect place for our family, working with the Josh Hall Team was so educational, fun, and easy we would absolutely buy and sell (and move with an infant), if they were on our team. read more

Josh and his team were fantastic to work with at every step of the process for selling our home. Josh provided a thorough market analysis and helped us set realistic expectations for pricing, timeline, etc., and was never more than a few minutes away when we had questions or needed information. His professionalism and unflappable demeanor are exceptional attributes that help all parties move confidently through the process. At one point following the home inspection (those inspectors ALWAYS find something!), I mentioned how much I don't like dealing with this part of the process. Josh said, "That's why I'm here!" And he was, from beginning to end. The whole team is excellent at being proactive, following through, and ensuring attention to detail, and doing so in a friendly, upbeat manner. After our sale, when we began looking at homes in other locations quite some distance from Auburn, I turned to Josh for help with realtor recommendations. Without hesitation, even though our business transaction was complete, Josh provided contacts and reached out to those realtors on our behalf. To me that's above and beyond, and much appreciated. I would not hesitate to recommend The Josh Hall Team! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Jeff Knapp of Josh Hall Real Estate team. As a first time home buyer the process is quite stressful. I had been looking for the right home for quite sometime. It was hard to find the right place for me and my family in the area that I liked. Jeff was very professional and always accommodating to my hectic schedule as a single parent. He took his time to get to know me and my family, which helped put my mind at ease. Just when I was ready to thrown in the towel on the home buying process, he found me my home!! I was beyond impressed on how quickly Jeff was able to get the offer letter and negotiate the right terms for my new home. During the closure process Jeff and Janice made sure I was informed throughout the entire process, which was helpful since I had a pre-planned vacation. Jeff even made house calls to pick up documents to ensure everything went according to plan. It has been an absolute pleasure working with Jeff Knapp and Josh Hall Real Estate Team. I am sure we will be working together in the future! read more

Josh Hall and his entire team were fantastic during our home selling experience! Josh came highly recommended by a friend but for the sake of research and piece of mind, I interviewed several agents. After all the interviews, Josh was head and shoulders above the competition. During our initial meeting, Josh was very well prepared with lots of data on home sales in the neighborhood and surrounding area which showed his dedication and expertise. The communication with himself and his team was also amazing. We received updates every few days and our phone calls and emails were returned promptly and courteously. We were kept in the loop through the entire process and were never left guessing what was happening. We highly recommend Josh and his team as they are extremely knowledgeable, courteous and understand that real estate is a stressful situation and communication is key to success. Thank you again Josh, Jeff, Janice and Kristen. You have an outstanding team and it was a pleasure working with you. read more

Our home selling experience was long and arduous. There were all kinds of bumps in the road, and everything seemed to take forever. We are incredibly grateful that we had such an amazing professional on our side working every aspect of our sale. We never asked him a question he hadn't already thought of himself, researched, and found an answer for. We never asked him to do something he either hadn't already done or was in the process of doing. When the market in our neighborhood totally bottomed out, he talked to us about the possibility of not selling, and using home equity and a good renter to allow us to move on. He didn't care about losing his commission as long as our family had the best possible outcome in our situation. On the day of our inspection, a major issue came up and he was on our doorstep in twenty minutes--on a Saturday night--working the problem and smoothing things over. We cannot recommend Josh strongly enough to anyone who needs a great professional working on their team. read more

Buying and selling a home during a global pandemic is quite an experience. We purchased a home with the help of Josh and shortly thereafter we were ready to sell our current home. We listed the house and just days later, the governor imposed the stay-at-home order. We did not have too much faith that we could accomplish our goal of selling our house and moving into the new house. However, Josh and his team pulled out all their tricks of the trade and got it done! Their marketing was on point, their communication was calming and encouraging, and their knowledge was reassuring. We felt incredibly blessed to have Josh and his team helping us every step of the way, through the ups and downs of buying and selling, especially adding in the unique circumstances of a global pandemic. I have told everyone, including a barista at Starbucks, that we now know the best real estate agent around! Thank you for everything you have done for our family. read more

We are sincerely grateful and appreciative of the outstanding job Josh and his team did handling the sale of our home in Auburn. Josh's guidance throughout every step of the process gave us complete confidence and peace of mind. He made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and well-managed from start to finish. Kristen's availability and responsiveness never went unnoticed. Her professionalism and exceptional presentation skills played a key role in ensuring our home sold quickly--and at our asking price. We appreciated her dedication and attention to detail. And Jeff's contributions in showing our home and behind the scenes work showed us that this level of success comes from a strong, coordinated team effort. Together, they are a highly professional, high-performing team, and it shows in the results we received. We feel very fortunate to have worked with the Josh Hall Real Estate team.

We recently sold our home in Auburn through John L Scott - Josh Hall Real Estate Team. Prior to listing our home, we interviewed 4 other realtors that were very experienced and accomplished. We opted to go with Josh's team as we liked the concept of a team approach. Josh and his team were very reliable and professional. Each person had a specific role and Josh was a great team leader. They worked cohesively to meet our needs and kept us abreast of the progress of the sale. They promptly replied to any questions or concerns we had and explained the process in detail. We had multiple offers within days and selected a buyer that could meet our requests. Overall, it was a very good experience, and the sale went according to plan. We would highly recommend Josh Hall and his team for anyone considering the sale of their home. I would also expect the same quality of work if Josh's team was working with a potential buyer. read more

Jeff Knapp and the Josh Hall Team (including Janice) did an excellent job helping us purchase a brand new home. Buying a home during a pandemic wasn't exactly easy and Jeff helped our family navigate the unique challenges of buying during the pandemic. Throughout all of the challenges that we faced, Jeff and the Josh Hall Team helped us navigate the rough waters of a challenging market. Jeff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely attentive going the extra mile to answer any and all questions for our new home construction purchase. He was prompt and very informative in answering our questions. Most importantly he was our advocate when we needed him most. Janice was also very prompt with communication and definitely made us feel comfortable during the final stages of our home closing. Will definitely recommend this team to anyone in need of purchasing or selling a home!! read more

Josh Hall and his team have helped us over the years to buy and sell several properties for our extended family with great success; the recent sale of our home was no exception. We consulted with Josh six months in advance to make sure that our remodeling budget was spent wisely. The timing for the sale was based on a "listing and pricing sweet spot," a strategy developed by Josh to ensure that our home was attractively priced and listed at just the right moment. This was combined with Kristen's amazing professional photos and marketing, Janice's timely coordination from the office, and Jeff's well-attended open house, not to mention Josh's aggressive negotiations to secure the deal. The end result? We received 11 offers and sold our house in 5 days for $38,000 over asking price! It proves once again that if you want great results, you need to trust a great team. Marty and Jamie L. read more

The past several years have spoiled many home sellers, where owners selling a home need only put their house on the market and watch the offers roll in, often well above asking price. Today's market has done a 180 however, and now more than ever you need a real professional who knows their local market. The lay of the local "battlefield" along with knowledge of and relationships with other local agents can help extraordinarily when the sands have shifted and the landscape is no longer so seller-friendly. We got that help and expertise in selling our home through the Josh Hall Real Estate Team. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting peace of mind in a suddenly harrowing home-selling world. Josh and his team are motivated and innovative while remaining grounded and realistic. Trust in them, and you've made a great first move in your real estate journey read more

Josh is by far the best real estate agent I have ever dealt with! My favorite thing about him is how quick he is to respond. I don't think an email/text ever went unanswered within 24 hours. His team is amazing as well. Jeff took time on his weekend to show us homes (Even showing us the home we would eventually purchase), Janice always kept us up to date throughout the closing process and I never had to call or guess where we were. Josh and his team went above and beyond what we had ever expected. For example, a minor repair needed to be made before we could sell our home. I was out of town and my husband would not be home in time to make the repair. Josh went to our house and made the repair himself! We appreciate everything that Josh and his team did for us in both selling our previous home and purchasing our new one! read more

I have now worked with Josh multiple times and have nothing but great things to say about how he has helped us to buy and sell our homes. He was referred to us by our daughter, who worked with him to sell her home and buy a new one a few years ago. After that, he helped us to sell my mother's condo. I have never had such a simple process selling a property! Most recently he helped us to sell our home (which sold for well over asking) and buy a new one closer to our family. He and his team were incredibly informed, responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. His team was exceptionally prompt in answering all of our questions and every step was completed easily and with great communication from them. If you are thinking of buying or selling a home I would highly recommend reaching out to Josh and his team first! read more

Josh and his team did an outstanding job of helping us to sell our house. He helped us to prepare the house. His team took excellent pictures. They did an excellent job of advertising our house, priced it appropriately and it ended up having multiple offers and selling it for above asking price! Josh's team helped us to go through the selling process experience in a very professional manner. Josh and his team helped us to navigate the selling process and were quick to respond with any questions that we had. Josh and his team are very detail oriented. Excellent at communicating with us every step through the process from beginning to end their professionalism was evident. I highly recommend Josh and his team to anyone who is looking to buy or sell in the Puget Sound area, the experience couldn't have been any better! read more
