Born and raised in southern West Virginia, Joe was brought up on the core values of hard work, trustworthiness, and compassion—principles that continue to guide him today. He holds dual degrees in Marketing and Communications with a minor in Economics from the University of Pittsburgh, which laid the foundation for his strategic, client-first approach to real estate.

Joe launched his real estate career in Washington, DC, where he’s spent over a decade immersed in the city’s diverse and dynamic neighborhoods. His deep-rooted knowledge of the DMV area—combined with an intuitive ability to understand his clients’ needs—enables him to find the perfect property to match each client’s lifestyle and goals.

Joe has also personally successfully renovated two investment projects, giving him hands-on experience with renovation, budgeting, and the design decisions that add real value. This perspective allows him to guide both buyers and investors with confidence—whether they’re looking for a move-in-ready home or a property with potential.

A consistent top performer, Joe has been named one of Washingtonian’s Top 100 Agents and voted Best Real Estate Agent in DC by Washington City Paper—testament to the trust he’s earned from clients and peers alike.

Known for his same-day response policy, Joe is a firm believer that accessibility, flexibility, and dedication are essential in today’s fast-paced market. As both a Maryland homeowner and a DC landlord, he brings firsthand experience to the buying, selling, and investing process, and works to make every transaction seamless, stress-free, and hopefully even fun.

Clients appreciate Joe’s thoughtful communication style, expert local insights, and his ability to make even the most complex transactions feel effortless. His background in marketing also means your property is always positioned to stand out—whether it’s a starter condo or a million-dollar listing.

Joe currently resides in Mt. Rainier with his fiancé Cody and their dog Rosie. Outside of real estate, he is an avid tennis player, lover of international travel, and unapologetic fan of bad reality TV. His passion for food frequently turns showings into impromptu culinary tours of DC’s best hidden gems.
