Real Estate Salesperson

Joseph entered the Real Estate Industry in 2009 working with an investment firm in acquiring distressed assets and managing and leasing a diverse rental portfolio in Philadelphia.  After stabilizing the new portfolio, he moved on to oversee the divestment of several large REIT-owned assets in Center City from 2012-2013.  It was in 2012 that he decided to get licensed and enter the world of brokerage.  After fulfilling the divestment in 2013, Joseph exploded as an agent, doubling his business each year.  He now averages $10,000,000 per year in volume as a solo agent.  After spending 9 years with Keller Williams, Joseph moved over to Compass to begin utilizing its’ top-rated tools and technology.

As first-time home buyers, Joe was very patient with our questions, however naive they may have been. He was respectful of our price range and did not show us properties that would have been unrealistic for us (even though our budget was modest).

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

I was able to put my house on the market and have it under contract within 5 days. Joe made the process so easy, took care of everything I needed, wasn't pushy to me or the buyers but was still competitive with pricing, and got me the full asking price. Excellent customer service and I can't wait to work with him again.

— Kourtni K.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Excellent job of dealing with nuances of the township outside of the customary area of expertise. Township inspection requirements were particularly onerous in my opinion and Mr. Fonash was extremely diligent and effective in helping us to meet them in spite of the short timeframe between acceptance of the offer and settlement.

— Seller
