About Joe Castro

Ranked Top 1% in the World @ Coldwell Banker Realty for 2020 Joe Castro is a real estate broker with over 10 years of experience and is highly regarded for his exceptional knowledge of the industry. Growing up in upstate New York in a family that built their own homes, Joe was introduced to the world of real estate at a young age. After moving to Boston, Joe thoroughly enjoyed buying, gutting, and rehabbing his own home. From blueprints, design, permits, construction, modification, and sale, Joe understands the entire process. He sees what others might overlook, anticipating issues and next steps, and striving to avoid problems down the road. He brings a genuine desire to do right by his clients, even if it means not pursuing a particular sale. With a hands-on, stress-free approach, transactions are smooth and often run ahead of schedule, a rarity in the industry. Joe gets huge satisfaction from helping others and readily admits to excelling under pressure. At age 16, he volunteered with his local fire department as a Firefighter/EMT. After becoming a paramedic, Joe moved to Boston and worked at Boston Medflight doing air medical rescue as a Critical Care Transport Specialist before launching his real estate career. In addition to his real estate license, Joe holds a Bachelor's Degree in Management and Business, Summa Cum Laude, from Northeastern University. He lives in Dorchester with his dog, Riley, a Weimaraner. Joe is also a licensed pilot and enjoys taking to the skies whenever he can to admire all the beauty New England has to offer.

Joe was a great realtor to have on our side when we bought our condo last year. Unlike other realtors, he always encouraged us to not overbid and stay close to the intrinsic value of the property - which is key in the Boston area. A year later, we are very happy that we stood our ground and came out of the process with a great home that we did not overpay for. As first time home buyers, there were a lot of confusing things about the process but Joe was always on call to clear things up. Me and my partner would always recommend Joe!

I will never work with another agent besides Joe so long as I am looking in the Boston area. Beyond just being a pleasure to work with and tour apartments with, he was incredibly good at his job. Great attention to detail, focusing on many important aspects of listings that I don't have knowledge of. Very well organized, he kept tabs on a wide selection and helped us narrow down and find the place we loved. He's an excellent communicator and seemingly knows and has great relationships with everyone in Boston. A++

Joe and his partner Jamie helped us execute a smooth transaction and closed in a 30-day window. We executed a remote transaction (not in the Boston area) and Joe was excellent in every way. Our focus was a condo in the south end to support our son who works at BMC. Joe knew the south end market extremely well, understood the properties that would meet our needs and constructed a bidding strategy that was responsive and successful. Would highly recommend Joe to anyone seeking a realtor. Joe was a consummate professional and went the extra mile to support us. - - Tony

Joe is fantastic, and you should hire him as your agent! We were so thankful for his knowledge, insight, professional connections, and his grace and wonderful good heart as we did the "suburban empty nesters sign on for a fabulous South End Adventure" move. He totally knows the Boston market and is a pleasure to do business with.

Joe was an incredible asset in our home search. We had met numerous other agents before him but we felt that he was the right man for the job from the moment we met. He worked tirelessly to advocate for us once we found our home and didnt stop until long after the sale. If anyone is looking for an agent in the Boston area, I would 1000% recommend Joe.
