Make an Impact Today

My favorite holiday is Christmas because it's a season centered around giving, kindness, and bringing people together. I've always enjoyed giving more than receiving, and I believe in finding ways to make a positive impact in my community.

Each year, I host annual fundraisers to support local homeless shelters and dog rescues. Giving back is something that's very important to me, and I love being able to help people and animals in need. Whether it's through my work in real estate or my involvement in the community, I strive to make a difference wherever I can.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • As your agent, I do much more than put a sign in the yard. I help prepare your home to stand out, provide pricing guidance based on current market data, create a customized marketing plan, professionally showcase your property, attract qualified buyers, coordinate showings, negotiate the strongest possible terms, manage deadlines and paperwork, and guide you through every step from listing to closing. My goal is to make the process smooth, stress-free, and to help you achieve the highest value for your home.

  • The first step in buying a home is getting pre-approved so we know exactly what price range and loan options work best for you. I recommend connecting with our preferred lender, Connor Bloskas, who can review your financing options, answer any mortgage questions, and provide a pre-approval letter. Once you're pre-approved, we'll create a customized home search, schedule showings, and guide you through every step of the buying process—from finding the right home to negotiating the best terms and getting you to the closing table. My goal is to make the process simple, stress-free, and exciting for you.

  • What makes me different is that I approach real estate with honesty, transparency, and a genuine commitment to my clients—not just the transaction. I'm down-to-earth, easy to talk to, and I believe buying or selling a home should feel exciting, not overwhelming. I take the time to truly understand your goals and help you make confident decisions every step of the way.

    Most importantly, I will never encourage you to buy a home that I wouldn't feel comfortable living in myself. If I see concerns, I'll point them out. If I think something isn't the right fit, I'll tell you. My job is to protect your best interests, earn your trust, and help you find a home you'll be happy with long after closing day. I want to be the agent you can rely on, not just for one transaction, but for years to come.

Joshua is down-to-earth, trustworthy, and truly knows what he’s doing. - JONATHAN (JACKSONVILLE)

Joshua Crittendon it was an absolute pleasure to have you as our realtor to sell our home in Florida. You put us and our needs first from the go! You’ve gone above and beyond with helping us declutter before the pictures and also was there without hesitation to help pack up our house into the pods. Your open houses were warm and welcoming for potential buyers with your added offerings of delightful Hors d'oeuvres and pastry’s. You have treated us clients as family since day one and not just a sale. Thank you for your patience with waiting for the right buyer of our home. I would love for you to represent us again if we ever moved back to Florida. - CARMELLA (Rockledge)

- ASHLEY (ORLANDO)

 

Joshua was very professional and always interested in our well-being! He answered every question we had and went above and beyond what we would have expected.

I highly recommend him to anyone searching for their dream home. - JULIA ( KISSIMMEE)

 

Working with Josh was truly an incredible experience from start to finish. He helped me find the perfect beachfront condo, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better realtor.

From day one, Josh listened carefully to exactly what I wanted — location, views, budget, amenities — and somehow found options that exceeded my expectations. His knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and quick communication made the entire process smooth and stress-free.

What really stood out was how dedicated he was. Beachfront properties move fast, but Josh stayed on top of every listing and made sure I never missed an opportunity. He guided me through negotiations with confidence and professionalism, and I always felt like he genuinely had my best interests at heart.

Thanks to Josh, I’m now waking up to ocean views every day in a condo I absolutely love. If you’re looking for someone who is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly passionate about what they do, Josh is your guy. I would recommend him a thousand times over! 🌊🏡 - SAMANTHA (MELBOURNE BEACH)
