Cameron R. - Bought a Condo in Bellingham, MA in June 2025

Josh made the first time homebuyer experience incredibly easy. Easy going, knowledgeable and incredibly responsive when it came to viewing places. I work odd hours and he was able to work with me to find the time for viewings. Candid discussion and effective communication is what I would say were Josh’s best qualities. Once we found a place I liked and made an offer everything began moving at an incredibly fast pace. Josh was able to clearly lay out the path ahead and keep the communication between all parties flowing. I ?? recommend Josh if you need a realtor.

Regina W. - Bought a Single Family Home in Franklin, MA in April 2025

We were looking for a home for our 88 year old mother to be closer to us in Franklin. Josh listened to our needs and showed us various options. Looking for a home after 60 years living in the same place and house, our mom was very stressed. Josh was patient, kind and honest. Ultimately, he found her a home that fit many of the needs she had. He worked with the listing realtor and kept us informed through the whole process. We were very pleased. Thank you, Josh.

Edward B. - Bought a Single Family Home in Franklin, MA in January 2025

Josh is by far the best realtor we’ve worked with. As first time home buyers, he made our experience seamless. He was readily available and constantly updated us throughout the process. He made an otherwise complex process easy. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

John L. - Sold & Bought Homes in Franklin in January 2025

My wife and I worked with Josh in buying our new home and selling our existing home. I truly believe the work and effort Josh gave on both sides of the deal made the whole thing work. His attentiveness to detail and responsiveness is top-notch and we could not have had a better realtor. He was our realtor but now we consider him a friend. Thanks!!

Cheryl L. - Sold & Bought Homes in Franklin in January 2025

Josh did an absolutely incredible job helping us both on our sale and purchase of new home… We are grateful for all of his guidance and expertise throughout the entire process! His attention to detail, availability & responsiveness was exceptional!!!

Linda B. - Sold a Condo in Hopedale, MA in December 2024

Picking the right agent is everything! Josh made my move incredibly easy and stress-free. He handled everything with such care and expertise, making sure I was comfortable and informed every step of the way. Josh is also strongly connected to the best contractors and was able to recommend a fantastic plumber, which put my mind at ease! His deep knowledge of the market and his genuine dedication to his clients truly set him apart. Thanks to Josh, selling my condo was a breeze and he made this journey enjoyable and successful!

Courtney P. - Bought a Single Family home in Medway, MA in November 2024

I rarely write reviews on ANY platform but I feel obligated to after recently closing on my first home with Josh (still can't believe it!). I happened to connect with him a few months ago after requesting a house tour on zillow, and I am beyond grateful we did! Josh somehow made what I anticipated being a very scary/nerve wrecking experience seamless and enjoyable.... I had worked with a few other agents in the past and felt they were disengaged, pushy, or didn't have my best interest in mind as a first time home buyer. It was extremely important to me to find an agent I could trust in making this huge life decision. From day one, and all throughout my search, Josh was extremely responsive, flexible, patient, and dedicated to truly understanding (and respecting) what I was seeking in a home, my budget and lifestyle. He was completely unbiased in his approach, calling out potential concerns and value adds to help me make an informed decision. He is a wealth of knowledge, professional, and genuinely passionate about real estate and helping others achieve their goals. No hidden agenda, just a solid human being that wants their clients to feel comfortable, happy, and succeed; and based on my experience will do whatever it takes to ensure that. Even if you're not ready to pull the trigger on buying or selling, I HIGHLY recommend you connect with Josh to discuss the market and trends, and what you are looking for. You'll thank me later :)

Refael L. - Bought a Single Family home in Hudson, MA in October 2024

We're really glad we found Josh. As first-time home buyers, Josh guided us through the process and was always open and honest with his assessment of the houses we would visit. He always made sure we felt comfortable, never pressured in a hectic market. Josh was very professional while still being very easy to work with and talk to. When it came time to make and offer and move forward with purchasing, he set our expectations at every stage. We can't wait to recommend him to our friends.

Sanjay C. - Bought a Single Family home in Mendon, MA in October 2024

Josh Shalin exceeded all expectations! Their knowledge, professionalism, and dedication made the entire process stress-free. From staging to closing, they guided us every step of the way.

Diana S. - Bought a Single Family home in Millbury, MA in October 2024

Josh was ALWAYS available for home tours. His responsiveness was and is still incredible. The amount of effort and time he put into walking me through the process is unbelievable. Josh was immensely patient with my seemingly endless questions as a first time home buyer. I’ll always be grateful for the support he provided me from the very first day until now.

Praveen K. - Bought a Single Family Home in Westborough, MA in May 2024

We can’t speak highly enough of our experience with Josh Shalin. We were first-time homebuyers with very little knowledge about how to find the right place. He is honest and hands-on, and he really helped to take the pressure off of us.
We never felt forced to make an offer and when we finally found the one and ended up in a bidding war, Josh walked us through every step of the negotiations, even suggesting that we write a letter to the sellers to explain why we thought they should choose us. It worked, we thank Josh. We have several friends look for homes and we always recommend Josh to them!

Courtney B. - Bought a Single Family Home in Blackstone, MA in April 2024

Josh is an amazing realtor and an even better person. We started the house-buying process back in July of 2023 and have experienced the craziest housing market. Through many highs and many lows, Josh was there by our side working extremely hard to help us find our dream first home. He attended every open house with us, sometimes multiple in one day, and put in countless hours learning what our style was and getting to know us to see what we would like and dislike. I can confidently say that this process would have been terrible without a realtor like Josh leading the way for us. We closed on our first home today and I can't thank Josh enough for all of his hard work, dedication, and patience throughout this process.
We will be using Josh for any future selling and buying needs throughout the years! I cannot recommend him enough.

Austin R. - Bought a Single Family home in Blackstone, MA in April 2024

Josh is the best Real Estate Agent I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I cannot recommend him enough! Each person I know that is either buying or selling real estate I have connected them with Josh and I will continue to do so. His knowledge of the Massachusetts housing market is top notch. Even better than his knowledge, his personality shines throughout the entire process. It feels like you have a best friend on your side from day one. Josh will find the perfect house for you no matter what and if you need an agent I highly recommend reaching out to him right away.

Satya and Poornima M. - Sold a Single Family Home in Hopkinton, MA in January 2024

Josh was chosen as our seller agent after interviewing 6 agents and he was assigned with a task to
sell a property that didn't sell during summer. Josh came up with his splendid strategy that not
only attracted more than 40 buyers in first two days, in fact resulted in getting our property sold
over listing price. He had been really helpful and a good listener throughout the process. He was
committed and ensured the property was always at its best to be presented. Highly
recommended!!!

Anthony W. - Bought a Single Family home in Hopedale, MA in October 2023

Josh did an outstanding job the entire way through the buying process. I have high expectations
and Josh met and exceeded them. He went above and beyond many times throughout the process.

Josh showed my fiance and me countless properties and never tried to sway us one way or other.
He gave objective feedback based on the market and his expertise. I would recommend Josh
hands down to anyone who has high standards and expectations for their realtor.

Matthew C. - Bought a Single Family home in Holden, MA in October 2023

I entered the market as a first time home buyer and knew I would need a lot of help understanding
the process. This guy came through! Josh is a professional that did his homework on the properties
that had my interest, so I could make an informed and fair offer when the time was right. And his
negotiation skills may have been the deciding factor in the seller choosing my offer over others!
The five stars are well deserved!

Sean S. - Sold a Single Family home in Holden, MA in 2023

Josh made himself available at all times throughout the sale of our home. He is very knowledgeable
about the market and got us well above asking. He even did an extra showing because so many
buyers were interested in viewing our home. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again.

Charles C. - Sold a Condo in Stoughton, MA in 2023

We recently had the pleasure of working with Josh to get our family member's house sold. Josh was
extremely professional and knowledgeable in all aspects of getting the house ready and prepped
for sale. He was with us every step of the way, even with the unforeseen issues that sometimes
occur. This was well appreciated as he was understanding in regards to ours needs in dealing with
the family member passing and working around all of the stressful things that accompanies a
death. We would work with Josh anytime in the future, if the need arises to sell or purchase a new
house.

Ralph S. - Bought a Single Family home in Hopkinton, MA in 2023

It was such a pleasure working with Josh. We were pleased with our overall experience but I want

working with him.

Josh was very helpful and low pressure throughout the looking and buying process. The market is crazy right now, but Josh always made time to answer any questions we had.

He was also great at helping us find a great team to work with for our financing and legal representation. The entire process was smooth and easy because of Josh’s help.

Josh was extremely helpful during this process. He answered all my questions and provided a lot of insight. I am a first time buyer and he helped me through the process and was exceptional. He was specifically knowledgeable with advising me on how to place competitive offers and then walked me through the closing process and discussed what everything meant. During a stressful time where houses where being sold in hours it was amazing to have Josh who was constantly on the look out for prosperities I would be interested in. And he was exceptional at advising me on developing an offer, such as escalations, inspections and contingencies. Highly recommend using him!

Josh is a pro! He knows the area, knows the market, and will find you the perfect home! Josh helped us find our home in Bellingham MA, he was always responsive and knew the right contacts to get the deal across the finish line.

Bryan C. - Showed home in 2021 in Brookline, MA.

I met Josh at an open house in Brookline, MA. I had been to several other open houses in the area and spoken to several agents and none of them were able to answer the questions I had about the local market like Josh did. I felt like the other agents were going through the motions and giving me vague responses just to get rid of me. Josh took the time to not only answer what I asked, but asked me questions about my interest in real estate. Because of this, I am now using Josh to help me find my next investment property and he has already displayed better communication, professionalism and responsiveness than the 8 agents I have worked with in the past. Just wanted to share and I will update if needed.

John L. - Helped me rent a Townhouse home in Needham, MA in 2021.

We worked with a few different agents before we met Josh. We looked for months and months to find the right home. My wife and myself are not the easiest to handle as we’re not very decisive and need to fill 95% of what we want. Josh had the upmost patience and professionalism I had ever seen in a real estate agent. We did find our new home and we love it each and every day! If you’re looking for a personal touch, and someone to go the extra mile Josh is for you.

Gregory C. - Consulted me on buying or selling a home in Brookline, MA in 2021.

Josh consulted me as a Buyer’s agent on several properties. I found Josh to be extremely diligent and knowledgeable of the market and area. Josh’s keen insight was invaluable in navigating a buyer in a Seller’s market.

John B. - Sold a Condo home in 2021 in Brookline, MA.

Josh listed and sold my condo in Brookline, MA and I could not be happier with his service. His knowledge of the market was spot-on and he kept me informed through every step of the process. I have worked with several agents in the past, but none of them were as professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and helpful as Josh was. He really cares about his clients and it was easy for me to see this very early on in our relationship. He turned me into a customer for life and I am thrilled to recommend him to all of my friends and family. Thank you so much Josh and I look forward to working with you in the future.
