About Me
The Joshua Stern Team is committed to superior customer service for both buyers and sellers. Our buyers are put on an exclusive VIP Buyer Profile Program which allows them immediate access of all properties that match their specific home buying criteria, as those properties come on the market. This list includes bank owned homes, HUD homes, Short Sales and other Distressed Sale Properties, as well as they include all properties from all brokerages.
For our sellers we have a unique home selling system designed specifically for the home seller, not the REALTOR. We have a flexible commission program where our seller's can sell their home for as little as 0% commission. We have a seller satisfaction guarantee which allows our sellers to cancel the contract at anytime if we are not providing the level of service we committed to provide. With our unique programs we attract literally hundreds of buyers a month to our team. We sell over 80 properties a year and we do it in less time than the average REALTOR.

"“Joshua helped me sell my condo. There was a lot of competition at that time and I knew it would be hard to sell. Yet, he sold my condo for more than any other condo my size had sold for in the history of the complex. It was a difficult transaction, but Joshua kept me informed the entire time and we closed it with a win-win bang!”"

"Joshua worked so hard to find us the right home, and his timing for everything was perfect. We put an offer in on a bank owned home and we didn't get it, initially, but Joshua's determination eventually got us the home of our dreams for a price we never thought we could get, thank you.”"

""I am so glad I stumbled into Joshua, he has taught me so much about buying and selling real estate. My experience with Joshua was informative and friendly. After looking at many homes, he found the perfect home for me and saved me money getting into it. In fact, I enjoyed the experience so much that I am currently going to real estate school. I plan on working with Joshua when I graduate to help his clients like he has helped me.”"

""Our home was listed for 1 year before we met Joshua. He had a home listed that we wanted to buy, but we had to sell our home first. He listed our home for us and we were unsure that it could be sold. Joshua marketed our property very well, he put up an "800" service number and had a 360 virtual tour posted on all the different websites. Bottom line is he sold our house in fast and saved us money. He saved us over $15,000 on our next purchase as well.”"

""We had our home listed with one of those flat fee agents and we got an offer that our agent let fall apart. We ran into Joshua because he had the home listed we wanted to buy. We had him list our home and he did the job of two agents to put the deal back together, selling our home for list price in 72 hours. Now I understand the difference between flat fee and full service fiduciary.""

"“This could not have been a better experience. There has been a lot going on and things have been stressful, but if anything, Joshua has helped decreased the stress and sold our home for $8,000 over our list price in 5 days. Thanks for everything.”"

"“Thank you Joshua, for handling the sale of my deceased sister's homes in Salt Lake City. As we were not able to be in Salt Lake we relied on you to be our eyes, ears and negotiator in arranging for listing the homes and attracting bids from 14 prospective buyers on one home and 8 offers on the 2nd home. It was particularly rewarding to receive $40,000 more than the asking price of the two homes. The reward was also zero complications on the two sales because you acted as our personal representative and relieved us of being present in Salt Lake City. Your congenial manner elicited our trust in you and your performance was much more than we had expected of a remote realtor. Thanks again for making us feel so comfortable through all the negotiating and successful conclusion.”"

"“Thank you for helping us with the sale of our home, Joshua. I appreciate your work and your willingness to listen to our needs. Not only did you sell our home for more money than we thought it could be sold for, but you did it in 7 days. I also want to thank you for coordinating the purchase of our new home to coincide with the our old home. You’re a man of your word and I will refer you to everyone I know.”"

Joshua Stern answered:
If legal in your state you can present your offer as an escalation clause. You can say, my minimum offer is ________ and buyer agrees to offer seller $500 above highest NET offer seller recieves not to exceed ___________. Seller agrees to provide buyer with verified, bonified proof of bench mark offer upon acceptance of this offer.
That should do it.
That should do it.
Joshua Stern answered:
I don't know that it is a BAD idea, but when it comes to something as important as buying a home, you owe it to yourself to interview more than one agent for the job. That includes interviewing the banks agent on how they will represent you. I have a friend who represents banks, she runs a team. She won't write the offers on her bank owned properties for a buyer, however she has her team members represent the buyers instead. The team members aren't attached to whether or not you buy the bank home you originally inquired about. They would just as happily find any other home that is a good fit for you.
It really boils down to how educated the agent is and how they plan on personally representing you. If you feel good about the agent who is representing the bank, it may help you get into the property. But you should always interview more than one agent for the job, after all, it's your money.

Joshua Stern answered:
I wouldn't rely on any websites that are available to tell you what your property is worth in today's market. It would be wise to contact a local real estate specialist who works in your area to provide you with up to date information about our ever changing market. You may want to contact more than one agent to get the information you are looking for.
Joshua Stern answered:
As an active investor I would consider holding onto the property as a rental. If you have friends or family in town they may be able to help you manage the home while you are away protecting our freedom. In the event that you don't have anyone personally who can help with this process, a good Property Management Company is worth its wieght in gold.
The advantage of holding onto the property is that you can have someone else paying down your principal balance on your mortgage, and at the same time enjoy the tax benefits of the interest write-off. Real wealth can be created long term, for instance, imagine what your property might be worth 15 years from now and think about how much you would owe.
