Joe is a DC native deeply invested in the area with a real estate career that has spanned more than 25 years. During that time he not only founded his own real estate brokerage but also created (and served as president of) the non-profit Independent Real Estate Brokers Alliance (IREBA). He has served on the board of directors of the largest MLS in the world (Bright MLS, previously known as Metropolitan Regional Information System, Inc.). 

He has the distinct honor of having been the “Realtor of the Year” in 2022. He was elected by his peers to serve as President of the Greater Capital Area Association of REALTORS® (GCAAR) and served for seven years as a member of the board of directors of both GCAAR and the District of Columbia Association of REALTORS® (DCAR®). He also has served on the board of the Capital Area Realtor Federal Credit Union. 

In 2024 he was named as one of Washingtonian Magazine’s Best Agents for the tenth time in a row. He was named as 2021 a top agent in DC Metro Real Producers, and in 2014 and 2019, he received the “Master Networker” award from Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate. Joseph’s real estate career was propelled to success in 1999, when he won the “Rookie of the Year” award for having sold more properties than any other first year licensee in Washington, DC and Montgomery County that year. 

In addition to having received special training in historic real estate through the National Trust for Historic Preservation, he has earned a “CRS” (Certified Residential Specialist) — a highly regarded mark of distinction that less than 4 percent of all licensed REALTORS® in the world have achieved — a “GRI” (Graduate REALTOR® Institute) designation, a benchmark that less than 10 percent of REALTORS® in the DC-metro area have earned, as well as a “CRB” (Certified Residential Broker) .
