Joseph Apartments

"For more than fifteen years Jim Joseph has kept me informed of the real estate market for apartment buildings in the La Mirada community and in the surrounding communities. I would always read Jim's newsletters, and after many phone calls and meetings with him, I was convinced that Jim was committed to being the foremost real estate broker in the sale of apartment buildings. When the time came to sell the 17-unit apartment building that I personally managed for more than fifteen years, I had no reservations in recommending to my clients, the owners of the property, that they use the services of Jim Joseph. The sale of my clients' property was successfully completed. Should I need realty services in the future, I will be calling Jim Joseph."

My family and I are extremely happy with the rapid, professional manner in which your Real Estate Co. handled the sale of our Income Property in Whittier, CA. and the acquisition for our new single family home in South El Monte, CA. All the personnel that we dealt with were warm and understanding of our situation and worked rapidly to close our escrows. Both escrows closed in a very timely manner. Our family was very grateful for your personal advice regarding the condition in which we sold our property in Whittier. Due to the fact that both my husband and I had to retire early due to ill health and were not able to keep up with the maintenance of the property for several years, it was deteriorated to the point where we thought that we would have to borrow money to repair it before selling it. You advised to sell AS IS! Due to the fact that it would depend on what the buyer might want to do with the property. Such as if the buyer wanted to live in the house and rent the apartments, or live in one of the apartments and rent the house and one of the apartments, or rent the whole property. The buyers decision how to remodel the property would depend on his intent where he would live. If we ever have a need to acquire or sell another home, we will definitely go back to your association.

We spent 2 years interviewing realtors to sell our 60 units. Jim got us $4,050,000 for the property. Of course dozens of realtors contacted us over the years to list the property but we chose Jim. There were many challenges that Jim overcame during escrow. He never gave up and fought aggressively for us. We strongly recommend Jim.

I bought a 12 unit building from Jim at the bottom of the market. We ended up doing a short payoff with the lender. The property is worth much more now than when we bought it and Jim looks after the property for us, showing it to prospective tenants and keeping an eye on things. I trust Jim and his judgment. I strongly recommend him to fellow real estate investors.

I had known Jim for many years when I made the mistake of listing with another real estate company. Yet the property did not sell through them. After I listed with Jim Joseph and we were able to locate a buyer, the transaction was smooth, escrow closed on time and everything went well. I strongly recommend Jim to any fellow apartment owner who is looking to find a buyer at the best price for his apartment building.

I've recently sold three apartment buildings that James Joseph had listed. On two of the three I received a 4% commission to me. I'm currently working up an offer on one of the other listings he has. His knowledge of the market and ability to deliver quality apartment buildings at attractive prices impressed me, the extra commission also helps!!!

I first met James when one of my clients who owned an apartment building wanted to hire James to sell his property. We hired James and shortly thereafter the apartment building sold. A couple of years later I wanted to sell my investment property so I called James and we put the property on the market and found a buyer. I have enjoyed working with James. His operation was efficient and effective. I strongly recommend James Joseph if you are looking to sell your investment property.

Jim did a very fine job in selling my apartments!

A few years back Jim sold my 4 units in Whittier. Recently, Jim assisted me in transferring my equity from California to a 57 unit building out of state. We are now looking to some exciting investments in Texas.

I'm writing this note to express my gratitude for not only selling my property on Huckleberry Rd. on escrow 423, but also for your assistance in clearing up my credit. You made the problems of selling a property in the midst of a divorce and associated problems go much smoother. Once again thank you for your help and support.

I was in the apartment selling business from 1973 until 1983. During that period I purchased enough buildings that I was able to live off of the income from them, which was my goal. Recently tax considerations (needing more write off as buildings aged) caused me to reenter the market. What I needed was someone who could put me in touch with a wide range of product that was profitable. Jim was able to do that. So when the time came to sell some of my stuff in order to accomplish some new objectives I chose Jim to do that. He handled all matters professionally and in ways that accommodated my interest. I would recommend Jim to others.

James sold our units very quickly. The transaction went really well and we feel that he did a really great job. We recommend him to anyone!

Anyone who wants to sell their apartments is well-advised to work with James Joseph. This dependable, diligent, and level-headed agent's success on the market comes as no surprise, especially as today's market demands more consistency and expertise than ever. If anyone can sell apartment units at an appealing price, then its James.

We were very apprehensive that we could sell our property. We thought we were stuck in it and impressed that you were able to structure such a complicated transaction and get us out of the property. We actually got more money out of the deal than you said we would! We had previously listed with another Realtor who had the property on the market for a year and we thought we would not be able to sell it. We're impressed, thanks Jim.

I had never met James Joseph before but I kept receiving letters from him about my property. When I decided to sell it, I went to his office. I was impressed. He listed it and within a week had a buyer. The people who had been my tenants for years were very anxious to buy it. There were no problems and the deal was closed to the satisfaction of all of us. I moved to Fallbrook and still receive a Christmas card from him and his family. Thank you so much Jim.

I chose Jim to sell my apartment building in Costa Mesa recently. The reason I selected him was that I was impressed with his ability to expose my property to the market. The transaction was smooth and he kept in close contact during the sale. I would use him again without doubt.

Over the years many Realtors and individuals have contacted me about selling our units. Then I met Jim Joseph, and rather than going with the others we hired Jim Joseph to sell our building. He was able to locate the buyer rapidly, and patiently went over all of the documents with us during the transaction. The deal went smoothly and we were pleased with our choice in Realtors! Jim is an able and honest man, and I recommend him highly for your real estate business.

I recently sold a 10 unit building listed by James Joseph of Century 21 Grisham-Joseph. The deal paid a 4% commission to selling office of $20,000. The transaction went smoothly and I enjoyed working with Mr. Joseph. I have since asked him for the rest of his inventory and I am currently actively trying to find more buyers for his investment properties.... I got paid.

James handled tenant concerns professionally and respectfully throughout escrow.

I had an apartment building and was unable to get the seller to be realistic about the price. I referred the seller to JAMES JOSEPH and within a few months I had a generous referral check in the mail. I would like to do it again!

We needed three escrows to close concurrently to make our 1031 exchange work smoothly, so we wanted an apartment specialist to sell our Whittier building. James Joseph did an excellent job of marketing, then negotiating a full price offer within a few days of listing. James and his knowledgeable staff did their part efficiently and all of our escrows closed within the same three-day period. As business owners, we know that it is the concerned attention to details and the quick response to problem solving that earns customer satisfaction, and that is exactly what we got with James and his staff. We would highly recommend him to anyone interested in selling their apartment building.

Jim handled the whole transaction very professionally and was quite a gentleman.

Anyone who seeks to sell or buy real estate of any nature would do well working with James Joseph. This congenial person is trustworthy, reliable and dependable. He is thoroughly experienced in real estate both nationally and internationally. I have profited through his recommendations and would direct my friends to him for objective real estate assistance.

I felt comfortable trusting James with a property our family had owned for many years. A couple of years ago I decided to sell my units in Whittier. I had heard about Jim and decided to give him a try. I was impressed by his know-how and his willingness to just listen to my past experiences and my apprehensions. In the end he came up with an excellent strategy to sell my apartments and it was not long before they had been sold. Jim is the man.

Mr. Joseph sold my property in a very short time. He handled the transaction very professionally. At any given time I knew exactly what was going on. He knew the market value of the property and he was able to find the right buyer for the property.

I appreciated James’ honesty. He did not overpromise. He simply delivered. I’d like to thank you, Jim, for your assistance in selling my property in South Gate. It is through your help and assistance that I have been able to realize some of my real estate goals. Be assured that I will not hesitate to seek your assistance again in the future.

I brought a buyer to one of James Joseph’s listings and got paid 4% commission! The building was attractive and a good moneymaker for my buyer. I am looking forward to locating another buyer for one of Jim’s listings!

James helped us achieve a stronger price than we initially expected. My wife and I started investing in real estate back in the 1960s. We started with one duplex in Cudahy, which grew to a large apartment building portfolio. We now own 5 apartment complexes. We’ve worked hard to get to this point and achieve our dreams. We’ve put our kids through medical school and through college thanks to our real estate investments and now we spend time traveling in Europe. Jim Joseph has been an integral part of making our dreams a reality. We highly recommend him and encourage you to take advantage of his services to help you achieve your goals!

I brought a buyer to Jim’s 8-unit apartment listing in La Habra and got paid 4%. I look forward to bringing another buyer to one of Jim’s properties.

The transaction moved quickly because James had buyers already looking for apartment buildings. Jim was recommended by my parents, and since they are so very particular regarding their transactions I knew they wouldn't steer me wrong. The selling of my property was taken care of in a short period of time. All the details were covered professionally and without delay. I was able to sell my property and coordinate the purchase of a new property within a short period of time. Jim was able to find the property that I desired without any complications along the way. I'm getting ready to sell and look for another and there isn't anyone else that I would trust with this search but Jim. He is an honest person and definitely qualified for all you needs.

Jim called me after my listing expired with another company. We put the property on the market and received and offer. The buyers were difficult and tough to deal with. Jim kept the deal on trial and we closed it. The bottom line is that Jim sold my apartment in one of the toughest real estate markets.

I would absolutely recommend James Joseph to anyone considering selling an apartment building. My wife and I recently hired James Joseph to locate a buyer for our 16 unit building on Rosecrans in La Mirada. For 19 years we received mail and communication from James and were impressed with his faithfulness and consistency. I said to my wife on several occasions, "When we sell, the Realtor I want to hire is James." She agreed. We received an offer quickly and on top of that got top dollar, more than we expected. Jim lived up to our expectations and the escrow was fast and smooth. As apartment owners we strongly recommend Jim and his company to other apartment owners!

Thanks for your persistence and professional attention to everything involved in getting this to happen. I will certainly recommend your services whenever the opportunity arises, I look forward to doing business again with you.

My brothers and I had been receiving Jim's newsletters for about 15 years. We had been contacted by dozens of Realtors over the years and never really seriously considered using anyone but Jim for our 18 unit Apartment building on Landmark in Whittier. We received an offer shortly after the property was put on the market and closed escrow shortly thereafter. We are glad that Jim stayed in contact over the years and we're happy with the transaction.

I Brought a buyer for Jim's apartment building listed in Bellflower. I got paid 4% instead of the usual 3. I enjoyed working with him on the transaction and everything went smoothly. I think that the 1% bonus to the selling office is a great incentive. Keep it up!!

Our property had been family-owned for decades. James understood the emotional side of selling while still protecting our financial interests.

In addition to truly earned high marks, Jim exhibited a fine, fine ability to concentrate to totally on listening at this depth, he solutions Jim offered to challenges presented were "clean and lean" without exception! This talent sets Jim far and away above anyone I've dealt with in my 18 years in Real Estate sales and loans.

His marketing and contacts produced immediate activity. We received serious interest almost immediately.

We were very pleased with the way the sale went. Mr. Joseph handled things quickly and professionally.

James helped simplify a complicated transaction involving multiple family members and tenant issues.

I was looking for units in uptown Whittier and came across Jim's listing on some units on Newlin St. We were able to close escrow in a short period and the project came together because of some creative financing. I have known and worked with Jim since 1988. I would recommend him for the purchase of apartment buildings.

The buyer, James, completed the transaction smoothly and professionally.

We were very apprehensive that we could sell our property. We thought we were stuck in it and impressed that you were able to structure such a complicated transaction and get us out of the property. We actually got more money out of the deal than you said we would! We had previously listed with another Realtor who had the property on the market for a year and we thought we would not be able to sell it. We're impressed, thanks Jim.

His apartment experience made a tremendous difference during negotiations.

I've placed my clients in 3 separate Apartment buildings Jim Joseph has had listed. Each time the deal went smoothly and the experience was pleasant. Most important I got paid $20,000 in commission on the last sale we did on an 11 Apartment units in Buena Park.

James brought credibility and confidence to the transaction.

I sold Jim Joseph's 11 unit listing in Buena Park and got paid $21,450. The transaction was smooth and Jim was pleasant to work with. He's a real professional and I am currently looking for buyers for his other apartment building.

James Joseph specializes in apartments, and it shows immediately when you speak with him.

I purchased a pre-foreclosure 8 unit apartment building listed by James Joseph of Century 21 Grisham- Joseph. I have been in the market for some time and was unable to find a below-market deal. I was happy to learn that Jim was in contact with the lender and had access to pre-foreclosure properties. His inside knowledge and access to property like what I bought has allowed me to purchase two apartment buildings at well below market. If you, like me, are looking for a quality building at a price you can make money DAY 1, Jim is the man to call!

Experience matters in apartment sales. James demonstrated that throughout our transaction.

Jim's unmatched knowledge about the area, rents, comps, sales, long-term profit, tax advise, etc. was the reason why I purchased my property through him. I trusted his judgment again on a much more complicated matter, selling my 8 units. This sale that you managed to put together was by far one of the most complicated sales I have ever seen!

The professionalism and consistency over decades is what separates James from many brokers.

I recently brought Jim a buyer for an apartment building and got paid 5% commission. HOLY COW! I could do that all day. Thanks Jim for being an advanced thinker. I'm currently working with some apartment buyers and want to do it again!

Our property had been family-owned for decades. James understood the emotional side of selling while still protecting our financial interests.

On a scale of 1-10, Jim is a 10+ apartment specialist salesperson. I had a complicated transaction that involved several people in exchanges. The transaction went smoothly and I was able to accomplish my objective. I felt that at each step of the way I knew what was going on. Most important, Jim represented my interests. He is the master of apartment sales!!

I brought an offer to Jim on an apartment building in La Mirada. It was a tough transaction and quite complicated. Jim was a pleasure to work with and most importantly he offered me 4% to the selling agent. I got paid!! Thanks Jim! If I have another buyer for apartments in your area I'll call you first!

I brought a buyer to Jim's 18 unit apartment buildings at 15807-15817 Landmark. Our offer was accepted quickly, Jim provided the disclosures promptly and we closed escrow on time. The transaction went smoothly and best of all I got 4% commission!
