Ren S

This was my first home purchase, I was nervous and had no idea what to expect. Thank God for Josh, he helped me with every single thing in the process of buying my first home. He took me to every house that I was interested in and gave me honest critiques about the homes. I knew I could call Josh for anything. In fact after we purchased our home he stayed in touch to make sure there was nothing else I needed. He sent me great lists of resources to prepare my house for the winter. I know for sure I will go to Josh the next time I am in the market. Josh, thank you for being a honest and great helper. You made my life so much easier! - Ren S.

Kristi Short

Josh was great with helping is buy and sell a home in King County area. Would totally recommend.

Mark Scott

Josh was very professional, responsive, and a great communicator. Always keeping my wife and myself informed. It was a pleasure working with Josh and his staff.

Greg Carder

Josh managed the sale of a condo for us and did a tremendous job. He is super responsive, knows the market well, and knocked down every obstacle to get it closed quickly. Josh even helped to get some of the punch list items from the buyer handled. He is by far the best real estate professional that we've worked with, and I give him the highest recommendation possible.

Suzanne Marsh

We highly recommend Josh as a Realtor for both selling and buying homes. We needed to make a contingent offer at the height of housing market boom in 2021 and he was extremely patient and knowledgable throughout the entire process. Josh is an expert on the area and has connections and a solution to any need that may arise. We ended up with our dream home and a new family friend.

At Home Services

We became empty nesters in a very quick period of time and decided we needed to downsize. Josh listened to our long list of wants and nots, and successfully found us a perfect house that has brought us so much peace. He is always professional, engaged and calm. Cheers, David and Shelly D

Brandon Lloyd

Josh was extremely helpfully, and very fast and efficient. He was diligent and answered my phone calls and questions at any time of day. Overall it was a great experience having him as my agent and I will be calling him again for future home buying/selling!

Madeline Sessler

Josh is such a go getter. He went above and beyond for us, I would recommend Josh as an agent to anyone who is wanting to purchase a home. We weren’t very experienced buyers and he never failed to answer a question we had. He’s thorough, consistent, reliable, and honest! Thanks Josh!!!

Anna Craig

I had the good fortune to go through two house sales with Josh, about two years apart. Josh was a dream to work with—a true professional. He took care of absolutely everything and made my part super easy. I highly recommend him!

Jordan Jensen

If you go with Josh, you’re going to be taken care of. My wife and I wanted to buy a house in Lake Tapps area in 2022 and Josh was referred to us by a couple friends. He made the entire buying process as worry-free as you could expect. We was really helpful in keeping us up to date with available homes, market conditions, and provided recommendations without feeling pushy in any way. He’s also always working, even on vacation (which we don’t expect him to do), and was quick to respond anytime we reached out to him. We ended up purchasing a home. Even after the paperwork was signed, Josh still helped us with any problems we ran into or questions we had. We will definitely be working with him again in the future.

Olivia Markham

I have had the pleasure of working with Josh Kumar twice. Josh helped us with the process of purchasing our first home in 2019, and it was such an easy, seamless experience with him. He was responsive, organized, knowledgeable, and gave his honest input when we needed guidance. We had such a fantastic experience that we decided to work with Josh again this last year to sell that home and purchase our second home. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome of our first home sale, which made us very comfortable when putting in an offer on our new house. This was all thanks to Josh, and we would recommend him to anyone who wants to have a stress-free experience when buying/selling a house!

Conner Dersch

My wife and I cannot say enough great things about our experiences working with Josh. We originally worked with him in 2019 when we were looking to buy our first home. Josh immediately hit the ground running and set up a meeting for us to go over what we were working for, location, price point, the buying process as a whole etc. Not long after, we were going to showings with Josh, and ended up purchasing our first home. Josh’s attentiveness to detail, friendly personality, and deep knowledge of the real estate industry made it a seamless experience. We then worked with Josh again in 2022 to sell our home, and buy our second home. Because we were buying new construction, we had a tight window to sell our home in time for our close date on the new house, so this definitely posed more challenges this time around. Josh worked with us and the builder of our new home and made sure we always knew where we were at in the process. He also successfully negotiated more money for the sale of our house which was the cherry on the top of the fantastic experience. I cannot recommend working with Josh enough. If you do, you can have the confidence that you will be in amazing hands!

Giselle Anderson

Very professional yet caring. Helped us through the purchase process of a brand new community. Highly recommend!

Rachael DeVaux

We have used Josh twice now for Real Estate purchases & could not be happier with the service. His attention to detail and commitment to his clients went above and beyond in the transaction. We will definitely be utilizing him again in the future!

Pawan Singh

I highly recommend Josh !!

As a first time buyer Josh helped us throughout the process in understanding individual steps and going though it. He was quick to respond anytime we reached out to him. Definitely will be working with him again in future.

Alexa Hill

Josh and his team have been wonderful to work with, making my experience as a first time homebuyer better than I could have imagined. Josh was eager to help in any way, generous with his time despite his busy schedule, and quick to respond to any questions or concerns that me and my fiancé had. He clearly had our best interests in mind and made sure to give us advice when needed. 10/10 would recommend Josh and his team, and will be going to them with any of our real estate needs in the future!

alyssa cavanaugh

Josh was so helpful and patient! As first time home buyers we had a ton of questions and it took us a while to know what we wanted. Josh was always responsive, knowledgeable, and understanding. He found us the perfect home and the purchase process was handled with great care and communication. Highly recommend him!

Chad Oberacker

Josh was incredible throughout the entire process as first time homebuyers. He made it easier than we could have ever imagined from start to finish. There is no one I recommend more highly than Josh both as a person and a professional. Thanks for everything!

Alisha Johnson

Josh is AMAZING. As a first time home buyer, I was so nervous to buy a home as I knew very little about real estate. Josh was incredibly reliable, always able to answer my questions, helped solve problems, and was so patient and understanding. My husband and I are living in the most perfect first home ever and that's all thanks to Josh. I will definitely be going to Josh & Kumar Real Estate again in the future. He is the best of the best and I can't recommend him enough. Thank you for everything Josh!

Emma Markham

Josh was so amazing to work with from the second we started looking until after we closed. His communication throughout the entire process was unmatched as he was always available for any questions or concerns we had. He was on top of everything and provided constant support for 5+ months. Since we didn’t live close to the area we were moving to, he would stop by the development to check in on progress which was incredibly helpful. Josh is a wealth of knowledge and a trustworthy agent and friend. Strongly recommend Josh if you’re looking to buy a home!

Chase Erickson

Josh Kumar and his team are very professional and provide a high level of service. The Kumar team was able to help us land the first house we looked at in a market that seemed impossible for anyone to buy their first home in. I highly recommend using Josh and his team for your next home purchase, I know I will be.

Aarti Tiwari

I would highly recommend Josh and his team, and will be going to them with any of our real estate needs in the future!

Melanie P

We began our home search in December 2020 and closed in June 2021. We were first time homebuyers, so we knew close to nothing about the home buying process, even after taking a first time homebuyer class. Josh was incredibly helpful every step of the way. He even set us up with his preferred lender, who also helped us throughout our journey. We ended up going with new construction since the market was too competitive at the time. Josh made sure to update us regularly from start to finish of our home build. Josh did a great job facilitating any and every question we had with our builder as well. If we ever decide to buy a second home or maybe even sell in the future, we will be sure to choose Josh as our realtor. Highly recommend him to all of our family and friends. Thank you again, Josh!

Steven Ireland

Josh is the hardest working agent that I’ve worked with! No matter the time or place he’s always there. While working with Josh it felt like he was always putting us first as the client and he made sure we were competitive with our offers while saving us the most money. After working with Josh I look to him more as a friend, rather than an agent. After closing my deal I’m still able to reach out to Josh for further questions and further purchases. He’s easily one of the best in the state!

Nicole Barnett

Wow, working with Josh was SUCH A BREEZE! He thoroughly went out of his way time and time again to help us. He swiftly and confidently answered all of our questions and my husband and I could tell that he genuinely cared for our situation throughout the entire process. Would we confidently recommend Josh to everyone looking to sell or purchase a home. He has the biggest heart and made sure EVERY detail was covered along the way. From house cleaning, to getting his hands dirty himself. We have a lifelong friend from this experience and are OVER THE MOON with his service. Thank you so much for serving us so well and we know that every future client of yours will be WELL taken care of! Love the Barnetts!

Shelan Kumar

Having Josh list our home was an absolute pleasure. From the beginning he helped us to prepare our home to place on the market and sold it for top value (with multiple offers)! Once we accepted an offer, not only did he provide consistent updates, but he also made the process as hands free for us as possible. Selling our home was honestly way easier than expected because of Josh. He has an amazing attitude, cares about his clients, and is extremely hard working. I HIGHLY recommend using him to list or buy your home!

Sarah Trout

Josh was fantastic to work with! He not only helped us find and purchase our dream home using a VA loan but also sold our existing home in under 36 hours with 8 offers and $40k over asking. Throughout the process he was great at communication and answered all my questions regardless of when I texted him (which was often and a lot! Sorry Josh!). I would recommend Josh to anyone looking for a solid agent!

Patrick McLean

100% would recommend Josh to anyone looking to buy or sell. Josh helped us buy our first home. The home buying process is inherently stressful, especially as a new home buyer. Josh helped to makes this as stress free as I could possibly imagine. Josh was always a phone call away and was able to answer any question we had. I knew Josh had less experience then some of the other agents we considered but we felt like that lack of experience would be offset by Josh's hard work and willing to go above and beyond for us. In the end we made the right choice. Once we found our future home Josh quickly put together a market study to give us an idea of the value of the home and proposed a few ideas for a strategy for making a strong offer. We were able to have our offer accepted before the listed review date with a seller credit! Josh kept working with us even after closing to make sure we had everything we needed and all of our questions were answered. Josh has even helped us find reliable contractors and given us advice on home improvement projects that will help increase the value of our home. I will definitely be reaching out to Josh next time I am in the market to buy or sell.

Kari Heinz

If I could give Josh a higher rating, I would! As first-time homebuyers, my husband and I were overwhelmed and anxious by the home buying process, but Josh was there to walk us through every step of the way from meeting our savings goal to handing us our keys on a competitive house with multiple offers! His knowledge and expertise surrounding every aspect of the process was remarkable. Josh also has an incredible gift of listening to understand what his buyers want/need and provides exceptional communication skills. I cannot recommend Josh enough whether you’re buying your first home or an investment property.

Derek Hart

My experience using Josh as our realtor was flawless. He made a process that is traditionally stressful for most very enjoyable for us. His organization and preparation is unparalleled to any other realtors I’ve worked with previously. He consistently was a step ahead throughout the whole process and communicated well so we knew exactly what to expect. I will recommend Josh to any and all friends & acquaintances, because it is great to work with such a organized and dedicated professional.

Youngha Kim

Josh is literally the greatest! This poor guy has spent two years searching for houses with us until we finally found our dream home. Throughout all of the ups and downs, Josh has been our rock. He leaves emotion out the door and helps narrow down what is really best for you. I don’t know how we would ever do this without him! If you need a realtor, you need to work with Josh.

Ana Ciubara

Josh made the home buying process so simple. I was a first time buyer at the time so I was very nervous and had lots of anxiety going into it but he was so great and patient with explaining everything I needed to know. Looking forward to working together in the future.Thanks for everything Josh!

Parker B

I have worked with Josh on two separate transactions and will continue to do so for all of my future real estate needs. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a real estate agent, and in fact, have had many friends use Josh with positive outcomes.

Josh is honest, transparent, a great communicator, well connected in the northwest market, and overall very knowledgeable on the home buying and selling process. Throughout all of my interactions with Josh, he was patient in answering my questions and providing sound advice to make sure we got the best deal. I appreciate his honesty and ability to make a complicated and potentially stressful process, enjoyable.

Josh is also a great member of the community. He is a big advocate and fundraiser for Movember, a foundation important to me. Thank you for everything, Josh!

Gwenn Quinn

Our experience with Josh Kumar as our realtor was great. What we loved the most about Josh was how he communicated with us on a regular basis and kept us apprised of everything that went on with the sale of our house. He was very accessible, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. We would absolutely recommend Josh to anyone who wants a successful and smooth sale of their property.

Ed Quinn

Josh and Jillian are awesome to work with they were very informative on the real estate and helped us through all the processes of selling our home within four days we had an offer and the home was sold. I will definitely recommend them to family and friends moving forward.

Lauren Czarnetzke

I don't even know where to begin when it comes to the amount of gratitude and appreciation we have for Josh Kumar and his real estate expertise! Josh helped guide us through the home-buying process as first-time home buyers when we purchased our first home in California in 2019, then represented us as we purchased our home here in Washington in 2022.

Josh is the epitome of genuine. His love for people and his passion for real estate come together to create the ideal experience for any home buyer or seller. He is present, dedicated, and knowledgeable, and will go to bat for you in any situation.

Josh Kumar is our real estate agent (and friend) for life and I can't recommend him enough!

Kimberly Ireland

Josh has gone above and beyond. We wanted a specific type of property. He pursued every known avenue. When the property was found. Again he went above and beyond , especially when the property had recording issues on seller end. Josh is amazing. Especially when his buyer was out of town and spouse was with Josh finding homes. He is knowledgeable, eager, patient always available and great to work with. We will be recommending him to others.
Great Job ! Josh Kumar
thanks for finding our forever home. You made it easier for our family.

Skyler Erben

Working with Josh was a breeze! He took the time to answer my questions, provide expertise, and share his perspective. Definitely looking forward to working with him again in the future.

Wendy West

I would highly recommend Josh Kumar to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Buying a home on my own early 2022 for the first time in such a competitive market was very nerve racking. I had also set a time line to be in a home within four months & was looking for something specifically in Lakeland Hills.

After viewing several homes he found the exact home I was looking for & worked diligently to make sure my offer was solid in order to get the sellers to accept it the day it was listed. He was always available to answer any questions & was very patient to explain things along the way.

Thank you Josh for your patience & dedication to helping your clients! I will definitely be recommending you to all my friends & family. You are the best!

Christian McKone

Josh goes above & beyond when it comes to his clients. He always treats everyone like family & never hesitates to give a helping hand. I would recommend to anyone looking for someone to trust in real estate!

Annie Lockwood

Josh is extremely kind & professional, and is always happy to lend a hand. If you’re looking for a real estate agent to trust, look no further!

Bryan M

Wow, Josh was amazing! Incredibly helpful during the entire process of selling my home. He is a great person and I could always trust him to provide excellent advice. Highly recommend Josh!

S Frost

Josh was fantastic to work with. He was very patient, answered all our questions, and really helped us feel at ease while buying our first home. He was honest and listened to our wants and needs. Highly recommend!

Sanna Frost

Josh was phenomenal. He really helped us feel comfortable while we were looking for our first home. He was super responsive, knowledgable and really patient with us. He was very honest and helped us think through some of the decisions we needed to make. I would highly recommend Josh and in the unlikely event I need to move, I will definitely be looking to work with him again, but I'm pretty sure he helped us get in our forever home!

Jacob Lobe

Josh was able to find my wife and I our dream house and then turned around and sold our house in less than 24-hours.

I am originally from the Lake Tapps area and I have been wanting to get back, since I moved away about 5 years ago. When my wife and I decided to get serious about it, I reached out to Josh to see if he could help in the buying process and also in selling our current Auburn house. I had only known Josh through mutual friends but from the very first time I messaged him, he always treated me as if I had known him for years.

After a few conversations with Josh, he was quickly able to understand what type of house we were looking for. Then back in February, he got word of a new house coming onto the market that met our criteria perfectly, but he knew about it days before it actually hit Redfin. After taking a tour of this house, my wife and I knew that this would be "The One". However, we weren't feeling very confident because the house had over 100+ people look at it over the weekend. Josh was able to get great intel on the house and sellers, which put us in the best position imaginable. Needless to say, we were able to buy the house at the seller's asking price!

Then, Josh was able to get our current house on the market within the next week. The first afternoon that it was listed, we had four groups go through our house and then had one offer the next morning, for $30K over our asking price!

Even after all of the deals were done, Josh continued to go the extra mile by providing guidance on moving companies, contractors and even scheduled to have junk removal from our Lake Tapps house that got left behind from the previous owner.

Josh made this entire experience a complete breeze and I would 100% recommend using him as your relator. Especially to any of my close friends or family!

Jordynn Otto

First time home buyer here! My fiancé and I had the pleasure of working with Josh during our home search, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Josh's exceptional knowledge, responsiveness, friendliness, proactivity, and fun-loving nature truly set him apart.

Josh possesses an impressive wealth of knowledge about the local real estate market, yet his approach was not intimidating for us as first time buyers. My fiancé and I had countless questions at every step of the process, but his expertise instilled confidence in us!

Responsiveness is an essential quality for any real estate agent, and Josh exceeded all expectations. Whether it was answering my calls, responding to emails promptly, or scheduling property viewings efficiently, he was quite literally always available and ready to assist.

His friendly demeanor also put us at ease, and it felt like I was working with a trusted friend rather than a business associate. Josh took the time to understand our preferences and priorities, making the entire home buying process not only professional but enjoyable as well.

Lastly, Josh injected an element of fun into the home buying process. While real estate transactions can sometimes be stressful, oh and we are planning a wedding right now too - great timing haha, Josh ALWAYS maintained a positive attitude throughout. He constantly lightened the mood and made each interaction enjoyable. It's rare to find someone who can strike the perfect balance between professionalism and a lighthearted approach :)

Working with Josh was an absolute pleasure, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of a top-notch real estate professional. We have found our broker for life!
