Joshua Vigo-Fas- Josh V Realty  Reviews 32

Let me start by saying my experience with Joshua was nothing less than superb. My Uncle passed away unexpectedly and on top of the priorities and stresses our family was experiencing through probate the property in which he assisted with us was being vandalized and broken into on a frequent basis. Once I contacted Joshua and explained our situation he was kind, supportive, professional but most important expedient. Within a day of signing Joshua laid out a plan to protect the residence and monitor it, free of charge and obligation. He handled everything and provided us with much needed peace of mind throughout the whole process.

Josh did a great job selling my grandmother's house after she passed. We live out of state and he was very responsive to managing the sale of the house without needing us to be present. Would highly recommend.

My brother and I as Co-Trustees of our dad’s trust genuinely appreciated our experience of working with Josh. He was recommended by our dad’s estate planning attorney, and she was spot-on in recommending him.

Josh was calm, cheerful, pleasant, patient, professional, and knowledgeable about trust sales. His expertise helped tremendously, as we didn’t need to worry about making a mistake on any of the paperwork. In a tough year when we were grieving the loss of our dad after helping him through a few months’ worth of illness, AND selling our childhood home from 1964, we didn’t need any additional stress. Josh made the process quite stress-free. (If by chance he was stressed about any portion of the transaction, it certainly didn’t filter down to us!)

Josh helped us navigate through various details and decision points where we may not have instinctively known the optimum course of action. He respectfully gave us his thoughts on what would be the best option as we negotiated fine points with the buyer, and then he left the decision to us. Our dad’s house was a humble home in a humble neighborhood, but it sold rapidly (above asking price), leaving all five of us siblings happy with the outcome.

Josh took care of many extras, like deep cleaning, bringing in a team to haul away a few decades’ worth of “acquisitions,” getting a special business license that the city required for real estate transactions, retrofitting safety items, taking impressive photos, and scheduling inspections. This was all done in an orderly and organized manner without my brothers and I needing to exert much effort or involvement once we had done the basic “clean-out” of the home—again, reducing stress.

If you are looking for a knowledgeable real estate agent who will make your process as smooth and stress-free as possible, give Josh a call!

I became the Administrator of my late brother's estate when he passed away unexpectedly with no spouse, children or Will. Josh was one of the first agents to contact me to offer assistance in navigating the probate process to sell the home. The legal process to name me the Administrator (as my brother's only relative) took several months, during which time Josh provided me materials to understand the steps involved and the timeline. He followed up with calls from time to time without assurance that I would give him the contract to sell the house. And by the way, my brother lived in California, while I lived in Ohio. During those months I received solicitations from many other probate realtors, mostly in the form of a postcard or flyer, but none were as helpful as Josh. When I finally became the court-appointed Administrator of his Estate, I signed with Josh to sell the house. He promptly marketed the property, accepting only the most qualified buyers. His escrow team kept me well informed of the progress and were readily available to answer my questions. Josh also had at his service contractors who would take care of maintenance or repairs to satisfy the legal requirements. I highly recommend Josh to anyone selling a home. He is experienced and knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.

Josh was very knowledgeable, professional, helpful, and patient. Walked me through the whole probate process of selling my father's house. Took the time to explain and listen. Highly recommend..

Joshua contacted me in a sea of probate real estate agents. His gentle and professional, but not pushy nature is why I chose him. Just so happens when my probate lawyer recommended her top three probate real estate agents in Los Angeles, Joshua was at the top of her list. The house was my childhood home where my mom has resided for 50 years and was an agoraphobe for the last four and the house was in bad shape. Josh was kind, compassionate and very patient as it took me 10 months to clear out the home (it had 5 generations' worth of heirlooms and possessions to go through not to mention dealing with profound grief). Josh never once pushed or rushed me and left me to deal with it my way by being available when I needed him and was ready. Happy to say once the house was put up for sale it was a fast and easy sale. Easier than any house of mine I've sold. If you need someone to help you through the complicated and frustrating process of selling a house in probate, Josh is your agent. My probate lawyer thinks so too. Thanks Josh!

Josh was a fantastic agent from start to finish. He helped our family navigate a complicated situation - selling my uncle's house in probate (he had lived there for more than 50 years and was a hoarder, so it was even more complex than normal). Every step of the way was an A+ and Josh went well beyond the traditional role of a real estate agent to serve our needs. He hired a crew to help us clear out the house, installed Ring cameras to keep an eye on things, hired a locksmith to secure the property, and had beautiful pictures taken inside and outside once it was empty. We had scores of people visit the house, and we sold it in a week for well over asking price. Josh then helped us with the easiest and smoothest escrow we have ever experienced. While our sale was somewhat complicated and unique, Josh's professionalism would be an asset to any buyer of seller. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Between extended family properties and my own, I've been involved in the sale of four L.A. county homes in the past 7 years. By far, Joshua Vigo-Fas stands out as the best, and most efficient realtor I worked with. His attention to detail and follow through was so appreciated by all involved in the process, especially by my wife and myself. Thank you, Josh!

I highly recommend Josh for his knowledge and his sincerity. Josh was my real estate agent for my mom's house that was in probate. He not only answered my real estate questions, but also assisted me on questions I had about the probate process. Once Josh was on my team, I no longer relied on my attorney for guidance, but leaned on Josh due to his expertise in the overall probate process. Even the paralegal commented on how fortunate I was to have Josh as my realtor as he kept the attorney informed of the entire process in a prompt manner. I do not write reviews, but felt obligated to show my appreciation to Josh. He will be my realtor for life and recommend him to anyone else that needs a realtor (probate or not). He is a great guy too with a strong family values.

I recently worked with Josh, a probate realtor, and I couldn't be more impressed with his professionalism and expertise. From the very beginning, Josh made sure I knew what to expect as we moved forward with the probate process. He was always available to answer my questions and kept me informed every step of the way.
One thing that really stood out to me about Josh was his dedication to getting me the best offer possible. He worked tirelessly to ensure that I was happy with the outcome of the transaction, and his efforts paid off in the end.
Overall, I highly recommend Josh to anyone in need of a probate realtor. He is not only great at what he does, but he's also a genuinely kind and caring person. If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond for you, Josh is your guy!

Our sister passed away in Irvine, CA, while we live in VA, 3000 miles away. To say handling her estate and selling her property was a daunting task, is an understatement. The very first person to call me was Josh Vigo-Fas. After some research and vetting, we just could not find anyone that checks all the boxes like Josh. Josh is thoroughly professional and knowledgeable about the process of probate. His communication skills are excellent with responsiveness making Josh a superstar. He knew all of the right people to clean, haul, paint and stage her condo. His negotiation skills were masterful when it came time to sell. From beginning to end, he was there with a pleasant attitude and a willingness to work with us. We were so fortunate. Do not, and I repeat, do not hesitate to engage his services. He is absolutely the best!

Josh was immensely helpful with the sale of my father's house. Throughout every step of the sale, he was calm, patient, and thorough. Before we even began, Josh reached out to me and offered to explain the probate estate process. We had many delays throughout the sale, but Josh remained understanding and helpful. As a first-time seller, I appreciated Josh's willingness to explain all my options to me, while also offering invaluable advice and recommendation when I needed it. In the end, we had a very successful sale thanks to Josh's hard work!

If you are looking for honest, knowledgeable, you have to call Josh. I had to sell my mothers property in California. With me living out of state and a sister living in the subject property was complex.

Joshua always had my interest on the very top of his priorities. Josh is a busy guy and yet always found time to stay responsive.

If you have not checked out his You tube tutorials check them out. They are so informative and give you a sense of who you are hiring. A REAL MASTER of his trade! I assure you you are getting a quality agent. Not a part time agent who also driving UBER. Josh is the real deal and you wont regret it.

After being bombarded with a whole bunch of phone calls from different realtors my attorney recommended me to speak to Josh to help me and guide me on my grandmother‘s property. After speaking with Josh I knew that he was a realtor I went with. Helping me with the challenges on listing a property, answering the phone anytime I had a question and just being there for me and my family through the times that I had left on my grandmothers property. I would definitely recommend Josh to anybody that is looking to list a property or is going through the same situation with probate or looking to purchase a house. You definitely get that sense of family and professionalism from Josh. Once my probate case on my grandmothers property has finish, I will be reaching out to Josh to be finding out how I can purchase my own house. Thank you Josh for everything that you have done to help me and guide me in the right direction on my grandmother‘s property.

I was very impressed and pleased with Joshua's service helping me sell an estate that I administered. In my experience Josh was very patient, transparent, and effective throughout the whole process. I had a ton of questions and ideas and Josh always answered all of my questions and gave sound advice. Josh kept me informed during all the twists, turns, and obstacles we faced along the way, I'm really lucky I had him on my team. The tenant living on the property was very uncooperative with selling the property every step of the way, but somehow, amazingly, Josh was still able to land me a buyer, and only at a very slight discount to what I might have sold it for had the house been vacant. The house sold for about 25k higher than the first bid, so I was pleased with that, and given the circumstances I was pleasantly shocked when escrow started after only about 4 months after the house was listed.

The only issue I had was it was sometimes hard to get a hold of him at times, but that's ok I understand he is probably a really busy guy and in high demand!

I most heartily give Joshua Vigo-Fas a Five Star rating. I was totally overwhelmed when I became an Administrator for my brother’s estate in California. Fortunately my Probate Attorney suggested Joshua Vigo-Fas. I II live in Oklahoma and the estate property was in California. My first impression of Mr. Vigo-Fas lead me to believe I could trust his word. Over time, I found Mr. Vigo-Fas to be articulate and knowledgeable. He promptly returned all of my phone calls. I asked him many questions during our opening conversation until sale and closure on the property. The answers he gave me were always straight forward and to my enlightenment. I believe he got me a very good price for the property by having competitive bidders. Again I highly recommend me Vigo-Fas. I wish to say to him “THANK YOU!.” Henry Harrison

They say that selling a home is the third most stressful thing in life. It comes in third, right after the stress due to the loss of a loved one and a divorce. In our case, my wife’s father passed away in August 2021 and we had an entire estate to manage as well as a home to sell. To add even more stress, the house was in California, and we live in NY state. Josh Vigo-Fas was highly recommended by our estate attorney, due to his considerable experience in handling estate/probates home sales. Upon contacting Josh, he set up a zoom meeting within 24 hours and immediately made us feel at ease. Since we needed to wait for letters of administration for the estate from the courts, it would be a few months before we could list the property. In the interim, Josh connected us with an estate sales company to oversee selling the furnishings in the house and to clear it out to prepare it for sale. Our first snafu was that we had no keys or ability to enter the property and being that we were 2000+ miles away, Josh took care of everything. Josh contacted a local locksmith, met them at the house, and had them rekey the locks. About a month later we traveled out to California to go through the contents of the house to decide what we needed to keep versus sell. Josh met us at the house and produced a plan for how we would market and sell the property. We also discovered some plumbing and the septic tank issues. Once again, Josh contacted the appropriate professionals he knew, and took care of all the scheduling and met them at the home since we obviously could not be there. In the end, Josh got us 8 offers within 2 weeks of listing the property and we ended up getting top price (almost 10% over list price) for the home. Josh made everything such a smooth and effortless process. He stayed connected by phone, text and emails throughout the process and even managed things while he was away on vacation with his family. If you have a home to sell or an estate/probate property, we highly recommend that you contact Josh. His work ethic and personal skills are second to none and he really cares about his clients.

My probate lawyer referred me to Josh when I was looking for a realtor. I’m normally very picky and don’t make quick decisions without consulting with anyone. I’ve given it a chance and met with him. He showed up on time and was very informative and able to answer all my questions. He’s always very quick on returning my calls and always there to provide me with the information that I need, very upfront but still polite, and really work hard to please his client. I am glad I chose him.

When my mother passed away my sister and I were faced with having to sell the house we grew up in since neither of us lived in the area any more. We interviewed several realtors, including one who went to school with my sister and one recommended by a realtor I have used several times before where I currently live. After all the interviews were completed, my sister and I agreed Josh was the best realtor by far to list the house. Josh assisted me, as executor of my mother’s estate. He helped me maneuver through the court system and recommended an attorney to represent the estate. Josh recommended a list price that would attract the most qualified buyers. With in days we had several offers. After doing a best and final, we accepted an offer for twenty percent over the listing price, which was more than we originally expected. Josh then handled all the details to assure the appraisal and all other closing details were completed timely and the house closed within the agreed upon thirty days. I have sold many homes over the last forty years and can say unequivocally that Josh is by far the best realtor I have ever dealt with.

Josh is beyond awesome. He's a true professional and a gentleman!!

My siblings and I had to sell our family home, and we found Josh through our probate attorney. It was a big deal--a little emotionally taxing at times. Somehow, he always seemed ready for any situation--able to stay calm and adjust as needed. It did a lot for my confidence that all would be well.

Josh was accessible, knowledgeable, patient and respectful during this entire process. He did an awesome job of keeping us informed at every stage. It almost felt like my good friend was walking me through my first home sales.

If you want to sell your home, you need to give Josh a call--you'll be SO HAPPY that you did!
