Josh is the consummate professional. He was always available to show us homes on the market and really did his homework around what neighborhoods, school districts, etc would be best for our needs. He made recommendations that helped us get the best deal possible and we felt strongly represented every step of the way. I would absolutely work with Josh again.

We knew we were going to put our house up for sale and wanted to find a realtor we could feel comfortable with. We had discussed selling the house with a couple of other realtors, but they just did seem right. I had heard good things about Angie?s List so I joined and looked up ?realtors?. Josh Bushner?s name was there as were several good reviews, so I called him. Josh was ready to meet with us whenever we were ready to put the house up. He was friendly and helpful and made me feel as if he not only cared about selling the house, but that we were comfortable with it. Josh listed us in all the usual places, he put a box in front and kept color flyers of the house always available. Josh did much more than just the actual work of physically selling the house. He was always available. He never was unavailable, even when he was out of town for a conference or a weekend retreat. Josh was almost like a personal friend from the very beginning, more than just a realtor. During the process I began to have doubts and then I would worry that the house would not sell. Josh was always there to calm the fears and to give encouragement. He always had statistics to show me or examples of other homes in the area. If I doubted something, Josh would provide an answer or he would work with us in ways to solve the problem. I began to feel Josh was part of our family. Not because he ?hung out? with us but because I found he was there if I needed him. Josh is dependable, reliable, and honest. He is someone who I would go to again if the occasion arose to sell again. I am not sorry I looked on Angie?s List. In fact, having found Josh, I will continue to check Angie?s List for all I need.
Description of Work: Josh listed us in all the usual places, he put a box in front and kept color flyers of the house always available. When the inspection was completed and we found there were electrical repairs we had to make, Josh knew reliable, honest, and affordable electrician that was also reasonable. For every set back, Josh had a solution. For every difficulty he had an answer. He was there from the time he put the sign in the front yard, even until after we closed on selling the house. He emails and asks how we are doing periodically.

Josh was recommended to us by a colleague. We had a few initial conversations before we decided to actively pursue a home purchase, and he was very helpful in his advice, referrals and recommendations - all before we officially signed with him to be our realtor. Once we got pre-approved and actively started looking for a home, my partner and I were in touch with him several times a day. He took the time to explain the process and detail the current market situation in Austin (which happened to be a seller's market and very low inventory due to high demand). We got really lucky and made an offer on the 4th house we looked at. That first 24 hours after making our offer was really stressful. Due to the market demands, it wasn't uncommon to get into bidding wars and for houses to go under contract within 24 hours of listing. Sure enough, there were 2 other offers that were presented. Thankfully, the seller accepted our offer and we just moved in last week. Buying and moving into a new home can be crazy and stressful, but Josh helped keep us calm and informed every step of the way. He has given us so many great recommendations and referrals - for inspectors, handymen, cleaners, and more. He responds quickly to emails and phone calls, and is incredibly patient and kind. One of the things we appreciated most about Josh is the lack of the "car salesman" approach. He is professional and knowledgeable, but he's also warm, friendly, and down to earth. We would use him again and definitely recommend him to anyone buying or selling their home!~Natalie & Neill
Description of Work: Josh represented us as our real estate agent when we bought our first home together.

We found Josh through Yelp. He had exclusively great reviews. He wasn't the first realtor we met with during our quest to buy a house, but he didn't creep us out like some of the other realtors we met with. We had a pretty good idea of what we were looking for in a house: mid-century, within one of a few selected neighborhoods, relatively small footprint, within a set price range, etc. Josh showed us several houses that fit the basic criteria but just weren't quite right in one way or another. He didn't pressure us to settle on a house we weren't crazy about, which was a huge relief. He never gave off a sleazy salesman vibe at all. He was really friendly and funny, but maintained professionalism throughout. Once we placed an offer that was accepted, he continued to touch base with us to make sure we got the issues resolved that were up in the air (minor repairs, additional insulation, etc.). I would (and already have) recommend Josh to anyone looking to buy a house.
Description of Work: Josh showed us several (several) houses while we were looking for a place in central Austin. He helped us find a house that matched our somewhat exacting desires and didn't waste our time showing us a bunch of irrelevant houses. He offered some great advice and helped us make an offer that was accepted. Afterwards, he checked up on us multiple times to make sure were able to find contractors to handle the necessary repairs to the house (it comes with the territory when you buy a 65 year old house).

I contacted Josh for realty help. He is located in Austin, but coordinates a wide Texas area. He was not able to help me directly, but he located a wonderful agent in my area who is doing a great job. He continues to follow up with me and with her to ensure my needs are being met. He is a very good advocate of my needs and expectations. He displays awesome personality and professionalism. Even though our communication is purely electronic, he presents himself as a compassionate, intelligent businessman.
Description of Work: Josh offers his personal real estate services and if he cannot, he refers out to other competent agents and offices. He referred me to a great realtor in my area.

Excellent! The timing wasn't right for us to list however when we're ready we will certainly call Josh! He is very personable and professional.
Description of Work: We met with a few Realtors to talk about potentially selling our home. Josh left us with the best impression, by far. He thoroughly checked over our home, gave us very practical and specific ways to improve our house before it was listed, really listened to us and understood our goals and time frame, and gave us a list price range we felt comfortable with.

I was in desperate need of real estate advise. Even though I had not signed with Josh, he went out of his way to take the time to help me. His answers were very valuable and was exactly what I was looking for. He went out of his way to follow-up with a 19 page email attachment with all the information I needed. It is easy to see why Josh is the highest rated real estate agent in the Austin area on Angie's list.

When we decided that we were ready to "seriously" start looking for a house, we had no idea where to start. We didn't know anyone that was a realtor and we were really concerned about being stuck with someone that had no idea what they were doing. We decided to look up realtors on Yelp and came across Josh. We decided to take a chance, and I'm so glad that we did. Josh was with us every step of the way and had an answer for any quesiton that we had. He was not pushy AT ALL. He was super responsive and usually responded to any email from us within an hour. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. I know that we will never use a different realtor. Josh is our guy.

My wife and I have known Josh Bushner almost a decade. He is a consummate professional, and his strategic acuity, diligence, and careful attention to detail has proved invaluable on numerous occasions. We recently moved from Austin and we only wish he could be our realtor in Florida. Despite the distance, he has been an indispensable asset helping us understand the process of buying a home, vetting potential agents, and providing shrewd advice. Finding someone with true expertise that you can trust without reservation is rare to say the least. We only wish Josh had a J.D., M.D., and C.P.A. so we could have someone with his integrity and skills assisting us in every important facet of our lives!

Josh went above and beyond to ensure that I had the easiest and best experience buying a new home in Austin. He is so personable and professional when dealing not only with clients but also with other realtors, contractors, and inspectors. I was unable to be in town during the inspection and purchase of the home, and Josh took care of everything. He was at the house for the entire detailed inspection and was able to connect me with several terrific local contractors, who did fabulous work. Because of the good relationship Josh already had with the inspector and contractors, I know I was taken care of to the best of all of their abilities. He handled all of the papers electronically making it that much easier for me to keep track of everything during the packing and moving stages while always keeping in contact to make sure that things were going well. I had a difficult time with the realtor selling my previous home, and Josh was willing to let me vent my frustration while also helping me understand what legally needed to be done as well as what needed to be done professionally to make me a happy client. I can't thank Josh enough for all that he has done for me and all that I know he would be willing to do were I to ask. Josh is undoubtedly the best realtor in town for his professionalism and sincere desire to help people find happiness in their homes. Thanks Josh!

Josh was very responsive to phone calls and emails. We were moving to Austin from out of town and he went out of his way to help us, even looking at places by himself and sending us photos. When we visited he drove us around and provided us with a ton of tips on the area. We were very impressed with his professionalism and his patience while we explored all the options. We would recommend Josh to all our friends, it was a wonderful experience.
Description of Work: Josh helped us find the perfect rental home in Austin. He researched and filtered the overwhelming selection of properties and gave us advice on locations and availability. He sent us detailed reports on the short list of properties which included photos and very nice maps.

Josh was very responsive during this sales process. If he was not availble to talk when I called, he would promptly call back. He even made himself available for a pre-sales inspection that I could not attend due to a scheduling conflict. Without his hands on approach, the sell would have been delayed or fallen through, due to the needs of the buyer.

We listed with Josh in April-I have some health issues & the house was getting to be too hard to take care of. He did his research & answered all our questions at our first & later meetings. We put the house on the market & I had to have some work done to bring the house up to code. I hired a contractor that he recommended & that worked out pretty well-cost & quality of work as I expected.When we finally found a buyer they used a city mortgage assistance program that was a nightmare-the closing occurred a month and 4 extensions later. Josh helped keep pressure on the city & kept me aware of all that was occurring. In addition, out of his own pocket, and on his own, he kicked back a portion of his commission to us-this was an honorable thing thing to do & definitely not something one sees every day. Would I work with him again? Absolutely. In fact I expect to seek his guidance & skills within the year when I look for another more manageable property.

Josh was excellent and handled everything. We signed some papers providing him authority to act on our behalf regarding the taxes and he just took care of everything else. He kept us informed on the progress, but we didn't have to do anything else, so it couldn't have been simpler. When the new statement from the city came in, our jaws dropped with the savings. We are very pleased with experience, and would recommend Josh's services to anyone who owns their house.
Description of Work: After acting as our agent buying our new house, Josh offered to help with the exorbitant tax valuation on the house. The city had the tax valuation on the home at over 100k more than the sale price. Josh petitioned the city and got the tax valuation down to very near the sale price, saving us hundreds of dollars a year. He also helped us get in our homestead exemption so that the city couldn't jack up the price on us the next year.

We hired Josh to help us find the perfect home for our first home purchase. Josh knew every neighborhood we asked to visit, every type of building, a ton about utilities and maintenance, as well as useful information about city ordinances and homeowners associations. All in all, we visited over 50 homes in about a dozen neighborhoods and Josh patiently helped us hone in on our ideal home, presenting a list of new choices every time we went out that was better than the last. We are as thrilled by our new home purchase as we were about the search process thanks to Josh. We have already recommended him to friends and family, and will continue to do so.

We had a house in Austin that we needed to sell. We found Josh on AL and contacted him. He was very professional and we signed a contract and showed the house frequently. Once the right deal came along, the closing and all details went smoothly. Josh was a pleasure to work with. I would use him again.

Sell of our home was peformed well. No issues whatsoever. However, the purchase of a new home took several months (this was a short sale) and we feel that we were not being "aggressively" represented in the last few weeks of our home quest.

We really enjoyed working with Josh. He's got a great sense of humor while remaining 100% professional and he is a very hard worker. We were very impressed with his knowledge of the appraisal district. He achieved significant appraisal reductions on ALL of our properties. His process was very easy; we signed a few forms and Josh handled everything from there. He kept us updated throughout the protest. I recommended him to my mother, who reported the same positive experience. At the end, we received our invoice promptly and were able to pay via paypal. I highly recommend Josh Bushner!

I believe we picked the best realtor in Austin. Before he first came to our house he had visited all the other houses in our neighborhood that were for sale so we were able to establish a price based on past sales and on the competition. He had all the right contacts to enable us to make some fixes after our pre-inspection and he was incredibly helpful and very responsive throughout the entire sales and buying process. He always followed up with realtors who viewed our house in order to get feedback on the house and also gauge the level of client interest. Very professional, forthright and with the right mix of tact and assertiveness; he was a rock in what can be a shaky and stressful process.

We were from out of state and had no idea to who do business with. Naturally, I checked the list and found Josh. He listened to exactly what I wanted and came up with a list of potentials that matched our admittedly extensive criteria. He had them listed out both in descending price and geographical order. He even had them pre-programmed into his GPS as to not waste any time. Josh expertly handled our negotiations and contracts, and made sure that that every base was covered. Josh even made several separate trips out to the house to handle issues that we would have been able to handle on ourselves, but since we were in a different state, it wasn't possible. I would highly recommend Josh to anyone.

We relocated out of Austin, and were apprehensive about selling our house from out of state. Josh gave us great tips on how to improve the chance of sale, knowing just where to price it, and was very professional and hardworking all the way around. He also knew about the energy audits that were just coming into effect, and how best to address those, as well as issues specific to an older house like ours. He did a great job marketing the house, and even found us a landscaper on short notice. We had a full price offer within a week. However, while under contract, some major plumbing problems were discovered. This is where Josh went above and beyond- he got multiple quotes, oversaw the work, and took care of all the permits and paperwork (even spending mind-numbing hours in the city permit offices). Through it all, he maintained a positive attitude and kept us updated with every development. He was a pleasure to work with, and I recommend Josh to anyone looking to sell or buy a house in Austin.

Continued from previous box... Needless to say, we were so happy to have Josh as our agent. During the negotiations and contract signing, as well as dealing with the inspector, title company, and lenders, Josh helped coordinate all aspects of the sale with minimal effort on our part. Josh always made sure to contact us either by phone, email, or even cellular SMS to make sure everything was the way we wanted it and ensure there would be no surprises. I really appreciated the personal care Josh gave to the proceedings, harassing certain people when they needed to move quickly, and making multiple calls a day to make sure everything was on track. We were able to close on the house just under four weeks after making our initial offer, which to me seems lightning fast. Throughout, Josh was professional, courteous, tenacious, and knowledgeable. I would absolutely use his again when and if we need to sell our house. As a side note, Josh told us that had previously been employed by the Travis County (Austin) and Bexar County (San Antonio) as a residential tax appraiser. This gave Josh an intimate understanding of the prices and more importantly, the valuation trends in different neighborhoods (beyond just the sales trends available in the MLS). Since the sellers paid the buyer's agent's commission, the determining factor of Josh's pay was the final price of the house. Never did I feel like Josh was steering us toward higher priced houses or only showing us ones in the top end of our price range. In fact, several times, Josh offered that he was showing us houses that we had asked to see, but based on the comps in the area the sellers were asking too much. Like finding an honest mechanic, the real estate market can be confusing, and Josh inspired trust that his knowledge was used for us, and not against us. In fact, the price of the house we finally chose was probably in the bottom quarter of the houses we looked at, but fit us perfectly.
Description of Work: Josh Bushner was recommended through Carol Dochen Realtors, one of the top real estate brokerages in Austin, when my wife and I were looking to buy a house for our relocation from Oregon. Being out of state while shopping for a home is a daunting task, and Josh consistently exceeded our expectations in a real estate agent. Josh helped us in myriad ways, both before we were ready to buy, when actively looking in person, and throughout the closing experience. When we were starting to screen the city for neighborhoods, Josh's knowledge of growth areas and "hot" markets allowed us to narrow down to a select neighborhoods that met our price range but avoided the overheated markets that had probably peaked. Josh set up recurring searches in specific neighborhoods that would automatically notify us by email when houses came on the market or changed price. Rather than look into entire sections of the city, Josh helped us avoid being overwhelmed by targeting specific sections or even streets to monitor for when the perfect house that met our criterion came along. My wife and I made a special house hunting trip to Austin for one week in which we had to either find a house or look for temporary housing in an apartment. Since time was a premium, we wanted to only view the top prospects currently on the market. Josh was fully prepared with print-outs of his top pics, including maps, and even comps of similar houses in the area broken down by $/sq.ft and lot size. Even before we set out to view houses in person, we spent a couple hours going over the pros and cons of each house and did a final search to make sure nothing had changed; Josh wanted to make sure we were finding our perfect house, not the house he wanted to buy (this is something you might see in other agents, "I love this one!"). Once in the houses Josh let us walk around and feel out the spaces without offering comments unless we asked. Personally, I hate the high-pressure sales guy, and Josh was the no-pressure sales agent. Due to the efficient pre-planning, even mapping out our travel route, we were able to see close to 30 houses in 4 days. That's a lot of houses, and Josh had no problems taking us by the our top picks twice or even three times when they all started to blend together. We did end up finding our favorite, with everything we wanted, just a couple days before we were leaving town. Josh busted his hump and the seller's agent's hump to make a deal and get the house inspection done before we left town. Talk about fast! This guy was a great advocate and made sure our contract included lots of things I hadn't considered (like putting in a deadline to respond to add a little pressure to sellers).

I got Josh's number from a property sign while driving through a neighborhood at the start of our search. We had an initial meeting, and my wife and I immediately felt like we were in good hands. Josh possesses all the qualities and skills one looks for in a real estate agent. He has commanding knowledge of all of Austin's various neighborhoods, and he offers useful insight into Austin's real estate market as a whole. Some things that set Josh ahead of the pack: (a) You will not find an agent that is more accessible. He works around your schedule, he is prompt, courteous, and he sets up house tours quickly. (b) Josh possesses good understanding of housing construction, and always offered his own 'pre-inspection' at every house we saw. His analyses proved invaluable. (c) All the people that Josh involved in the process -- mortgage lender, inspector, plumber, pest control company, flooring installers, etc. -- were all quality individuals that appeared to have good and long-standing relationships with Josh. For each service, he made the calls for us, got the quotes, got our authorization, and simply got things done. I have several friends and co-workers that have bought houses in the past few months, all using different agents. All my discussions with them further highlight how much smoother Josh made this process for us. I recommend his services whole-heartedly.
Description of Work: Josh Bushner was my real estate agent. This was me and my wife's first house purchase, and we interviewed several agents before deciding on Josh. He expertly guided us through all aspects of the process, including all of the following: (a) property searches and tours, (b) financing options and contacts, (c) inspection, (d) price negotiations, (e) handled services related to fixing items in the inspection report
