Past Client
We were so fortunate to have josh as our realtor to sell our mother's home after her passing. He was very familiar with the area and what was occurring in our local housing market. He utilized his contractor skills in preparing our mother's home for the sell. He is very professional and kept in communication with us thoughout the process. Josh is honest in giving his opinion, but does not have his own agenda other than getting the best for the client. Josh was kind and caring during a difficult situation.

Josh helped us so much with the sale of our house in Bellevue. He gave great advice, and in hindsight all his advice was right on. Our expectations were exceeded. He put in a lot of work managing the painting and updates we needed. I do not hesitate to refer anyone to Josh.

Josh is the real estate agent that you want on your side. He stuck it out with our unusual transaction and found the right way to make what seemed impossible end up a purchased home. He is meticulous, kind, and goes above and beyond at every opportunity.

Josh is exactly who we were looking for! His previous construction experience helped us find major issues when house hunting and he provided detailed advice on how to fix the smaller things in this competitive market. He’s also extremely good at communicating with seller agents and eventually won us our dream house! Josh is a workaholic, loves his job, and is always trying to find excuses to get out of the office. It would be very hard to find a better real estate broker in the King County area!

Our realtor was the best‼️
He did much more than just being a realtor.
He took things to Goodwill for us many times. He and his wife staged our whole house as their stager was not available.
He arranged and paid for cleaning both at the beginning of our sale and at The end of our sale. He arranged and paid for our inspection. He did minor repairs or maybe even major repairs to our house as needed.
Several times he helped us move furniture. He gave us the name of a mover who moved our major furniture and also removed all our junk as we were getting closer to the final closing.

As you know, there are A LOT of agents out there. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR. CHOOSE JOSH! Josh is BY FAR the best one I've worked with. I could not have sold my house so quickly and smoothly had it not been for him. He goes above and beyond. You will not be sorry.

I am so grateful to have Josh as my selling agent. He is kind and professional. He went above and beyond to help me to have the house ready for sale and everything went smoothly. He also gave good advice on staging and strategy on putting the house on the market. He is very knowledgeable. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a realtor.

I lived in my Bellevue home with my two children for 11 years. I had put a lot of time and money into upgrading the house but there was a lot of work left to be done to get the house ready for sale. I am very fortunate to have had Josh Friend as my agent.
Josh identified what needed to be upgraded, overhauled and repaired inside the house and in the yard in order to maximize my profit. I followed his guidance and was really happy with the results. The marketing photographs of the staged house were stunning.
The house sold quickly for well over asking price. Despite the fact that I moved to another time zone before the sale was complete, Josh was always in close communication. He and his team made sure every detail was handled and made the process easy for me. He was hard-working, trustworthy and an all-around pleasure to work with. Josh went well beyond my expectations and it’s hard for me to imagine a better home-selling experience. I highly recommend Josh Friend as an agent.

Josh is the agent my entire family uses because we've had such good experiences. There are too many positives to list but, on my latest purchase, he pulled off a miracle in negotiating the price in a really tough market. We love that, whether preparing to sell or to move-in, he's extremely knowledgeable and hands-on within the physical space. He even personally made some repairs and fixed my garage!
I also appreciate that he sought communication from me from start to finish to make sure he was on top of my needs and the many details of the closing process. I can't recommend Josh enough if you want confidence that you're in good hands and, ultimately, to get the best deal.

Josh was simply amazing! We sold two houses with Josh and he went way above and beyond to get the deals done. He is resourceful, attentive and readily makes time for clients. He is professional, and sees deals through to the end. It was great to deal directly with him. Josh is the type of agent you keep for life.

Josh Friend and his team of professionals sold a rental property for us in March of 2022. His experience and unique eye helped us put a thoughtful and reasonable plan together from identifying potential issues for us to address prior to listing, to the impressive staging and marketing material for the property. The transformation of the property was nothing short of amazing! His patience, down to earth nature and passion for his business sets a high bar. He made what was a daunting task a really pleasant experience and as a result of our plan was able to negotiate a very favorable and fair sales price. We are clients for life!

I worked with Josh a few years ago and bought a few investment properties with him. He is great to work. Because of his previous experience as a General Contractor, he understands construction and home improvement repairs and costs. I highly recommend him.
Val M.
Josh was a rare combination of genuine and knowledgeable when it came to both buying and selling our home. He had a great eye for detail and was able to point out details I might have overlooked in our search for a new home.
He also was super helpful in connecting us with contractors to get some work we wanted/needed done in both houses.
Super grateful we had him on our side!

Josh is amazing. He knows exactly what needs to get done to get the best price for you. He is not pushy and is willing to work within your budget. He offers 8 hours of his contractor skills and is able to make repairs. He has his own cleaning and painting crews if those things need improvement. He is honest and kind and truly wants the best for you, but he will tell you the truth. I hired Josh because he sent my family a condolence card after having met my mother on a two week project. I was appreciative of his thoughtfulness. I hired him to sell her house and had no regrets. I hired him again to sell my own home and again i was extremely pleased with his work ethic, thoroughness and the results of the sale.

I'd like to take a minute to recommend our real estate agent Josh Friend.
We had some uncommon challenges with our purchase and I dont think that we would have closed the deal without him.
Josh was responsive and accessible from the very beginning. His knowledge of the market was great as was awareness of values and costs. Unlike most agents, Josh has a builders background which enabled him to see things that other agents would have missed, not to mention provide insight on fixes and remodels. When we had questions, he would get answers right away. When dealing with the his counter part (the sellers agent) Josh was firm when he had to be, accommodating when it was appropriate but always prompt and professional. Josh did not stop working at 5pm or on the weekend. He stopped when our house was closed. That's why when it time to buy or sell again, we will be using Josh Friend!

Josh was very helpful in finding me a home. He is very kind and very professional. He was able to listen to my needs, my budget and he was a very good negotiator. After purchasing the house, he helped me connect with amazing contractors who renovated my property to my own satisfaction. Not to mention that whenever I had a question, he would always answer his phone. In the past I've worked with agents who chose not to answer his phone. But Josh is a well-respected hard-working agent.
