If you wish to feel comfortable and confident while making a real estate transaction, I strongly recommend that you engage the Poduslo Group. I have bought or sold 12 properties across my life — and no agent that has represented me has been better than Joseph. He embodies a rare mix of characteristics that I have come to value in a real estate agent: knowledge, diligence, and respect. From our first conversation, I could tell that he knew the local (DC) market well. Throughout a very long process (occasioned by many delays by the builder), he remained on top of every detail — ranging from studying contract questions I had on through to following up on punch list items. Importantly, whether as I approached the decision to buy or any time through the process, he was never pushy or intrusive. In short, I felt very confident that I could leave all the details to him and that my interests were being represented fully. Were I to tackle another real estate project in this area, I would go to no other than the Poduslo Group.

I have been working with Joseph since we purchased our first home from him in 2007! Since then we have worked together on half a dozen properties. Most recently, he helped us successfully sell our home in DC. It was no easy task because the house was a unique home in Shaw. Through it all, Joseph has proven to be a consummate professional and a true friend. He knows how to represent both buyers and sellers in a way I have never seen any other Realtor do. He really cares, which is a quality that is hard to come by. If there were more stars I would give them to him!

We are so pleased with The Poduslo Group. We worked with the Joseph Group over the course of this most recent (successful!) transaction. What I like most about this team is that they are realistic – they do not tell you what you want to hear, they tell you what you NEED to hear in a respectful, professional, informed manner.

We knew what to expect every step of the way, and Joseph was always just a call/text/email away. It never seemed like we were bothering them, regardless of how insignificant the question. We will absolutely use The Poduslo Group again and will (continue to) refer them to friends and family.

The Poduslo Group are consummate professionals, with particular strengths in negotiating and in helping keep everyone on an even keel during the ups and downs of the buying/selling process. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them, especially to anyone looking to buy/sell in the Dupont/Logan/U-Street neighborhoods of Washington D.C.

As a first time home buyer, I was very nervous about how the experience might’ve panned out after hearing horror stories from others. I was referred to Joseph by a friend who was very satisfied with her experience and am so glad I listened! The team has remarkable interpersonal and negotiating skills and worked around the clock to find me everything I wanted in my new home. I would refer the Poduslo Group in a heartbeat to anyone looking for quality realty services.
