We had a deeply disappointing experience with Josh Rudin, an agent with The Firm Mortgage / Firm…read moreBrokerage. Adam is the broker, Josh and his team--who act as property managers, selling agents, and investors--sold us a property for over $800,000 that, after purchase, turned out to have a significant amount of unpermitted work. Shockingly, the property's value prior to renovations was under $300,000, and none of the extensive, unpermitted modifications were disclosed during the sale. Even more concerning, this was the agent's own property, got work done with unlicensed agents and denied ownership. The unpermitted work is not just a minor issue--it will cost over $100,000 to bring the home up to code. When we raised these serious concerns, neither Josh nor anyone from The Firm Brokerage took responsibility or even responded. As licensed real estate professionals, we expected transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct--especially when an agent is selling a home they personally own. Unfortunately, that was not the case here. Based on our experience, we cannot recommend Josh Rudin or The Firm Brokerage. I would highly recommend to not do any business with them.

Whatever type of help we need they have the answer on how to get help or they have someone over very quickly to fix or clean up. They are very experienced and courteous and pleasure to work with!

I first met John Marshall, when he rented the landlord for my store. He made the lease work and…read moremade it fair. Now that I am looking to buy my own building, I have called upon John. His responsiveness and knowledge of Palm Desert is amazing. He has been working in local real estate since the 1970s and he knows the city cold. When he didn't know the answer to a particular issue, he didn't fake an answer. Each time he got back to me within a couple of days with valuable information. There are a lot of fly by night types in the Real Estate business, who just want to make any deal they can. John Marshall is a pro, who wants to help me make the right deal. I have great confidence and trust in him and recommend him, without reservation.

He is friendly, professional, very hard working, and extremely knowledgeable about what he does. Can not recommend him highly enough!
