    ✨ When you work with Josh, you’re getting more than just a skilled negotiator — you’re getting a trusted advocate who’s focused on protecting your bottom line and making the smartest financial moves possible.

Lauren S. said it best:

“Josh built complete trust with us… and was focused on making sure we didn’t leave any money on the table during the negotiation process.”

That kind of advocacy doesn’t happen by accident — it comes from deep expertise, constant communication, and a genuine commitment to doing what’s best for the client at every step. At Story House, we believe your real estate decisions should be guided by someone who cares about the outcome just as much as you do. Josh embodies that — and it’s why his business has continued to grow organically almost entirely through repeat and referral clients.
