ZillowVERIFIEDWow! What can I say.. Josh went above and beyond helping us navigate a very complicated real estate deal . He is honest, kind and thorough. He looks out for both the seller and buyer. He represented the buyer. I was so impressed I asked him to help us purchase another property. As seniors, we relied heavily on his expertise. His negotiation skills are fair and just to both buyer and seller. He kept us informed every step of the way. I highly recommend him. Thanks Josh, you are an asset and shining star Compass Real Estate is fortunate to have you in their team. J Sumpter

ZillowVERIFIED We initially listed our Torrance home with another agent but received no offers after three months. We then decided to work with Joshua Hammond. From the very first open house, we received an offer, and Joshua expertly guided us through a challenging negotiation process all the way to a successful closing. As first-time sellers, we greatly appreciated how clearly he explained every step, especially inspections and the overall process, which made everything easy to understand. Joshua was always our strongest advocate, protecting our interests and confidently handling difficult requests from the buyer. His professionalism gave us great peace of mind. We are truly grateful for his expertise, communication, and support. We highly recommend Joshua Hammond to anyone looking to sell their home and would absolutely work with him again.

ZillowVERIFIED Josh was so helpful in all aspects of the sale of our home got us asking price without ever having to actually list the home. He has lots of contractors to help get your house ready to sell and if he cannot get a contractor, he does it himself. He goes above and beyond. He is more than just a Real Estate agent he becomes a good friend that works with you from beginning to end and even more after the processes is over. Highly Recommended!!

ZillowVERIFIED Working with Josh Hammond as my agent during a recent home purchase was an exceptional experience. My purchase was a complicated, multi-quarter process, and Josh navigated every step with remarkable clarity and expertise. He acted as a crucial bridge between myself and the seller's agent, effectively communicating and facilitating the purchase while patiently explaining details to all parties involved. This level of communication was invaluable and significantly eased the stress of a complex transaction. Beyond the negotiation, Joshua proved to be an invaluable resource during the inspection process. He actively helped me understand different aspects of the inspection report and skillfully advocated for me, ultimately securing a significant amount of seller credits. What truly impressed me was his willingness to go the extra mile, even assisting with some special needs that arose during the inspection. Josh as your agent is one who isn't just focused on closing the deal; he genuinely looks out for your interests and ensures you feel confident and informed throughout the entire process. He was my secret weapon in this purchase, and I will be using his services again in the future.

ZillowVERIFIED My experience working with Josh was fantastic. Josh explains everything you have to do when you want to sell your house. He makes the process very easy and whatever questions or doubt you have he answers it. I recommend Josh to sell your house.

Review for Member: Joshua Hammond
ZillowVERIFIED In a crowded market of available agents, I am delighted that I once again chose Josh to work with (this time selling my property). His Rolodex of vendors that I used to prepare my property for sale saved me time, money, and headaches. His forth-rightness and transparency as we discussed our sale strategy gave me comfort that this is the type of agent I can respect. And above all, because I tend to be a worry-er and not exactly the model of positivity when things don't as hoped for, Josh's calm and positive (but realistic) demeanor turned out to be a great balance for me as his client. Awesome partner.

ZillowVERIFIED Joshua has been an invaluable asset throughout our home-buying journey in Torrance. Despite the challenging market conditions, his expertise and dedication ensured our success. From navigating tough negotiations to handling intricate inspection issues, Joshua's professionalism and creativity shone through. Thanks to him, we secured our dream location and home remotely in February 2024. A month after closing escrow, we finally had the chance to see our new home in person, confirming our decision was the right one. Josh, your support has been incredible, and thank you!

ZillowVERIFIED From the initial consultation to the final closing, Joshua was responsive, knowledgeable and professional. As a home seller, I had many choices for a listing agent. I chose Joshua Hammond as my listing agent because he is well known in the local Southeast Torrance community. This proved to be a good decision as he had a wide network of real estate professionals and trade professionals at his disposal. I highly recommend Joshua Hammond for buying or selling your home!

ZillowVERIFIED Joshua Hammond was an excellent realtor for us and I highly recommend him. Right from the beginning, I felt very heard when we communicated what we were looking for and what we were looking to spend. Josh displayed a nuanced and deep knowledge of the market in the area surrounding north Torrance and was very helpful in directing our search. He was very responsive to all our questions, concerns and thoughts and was a terrific ally to guide us through the entire process.

ZillowVERIFIED Josh was awesome to work with and helping to navigate a really competitive market. His strategic approach to making an offer helped not only with getting it accepted, but getting credits from the sellers as well. Hes been super helpful with navigating putting together a local team to help remodel things, and even helped me find movers. Josh truly takes a full service approach to real estate and I couldnt recommend him more!

ZillowVERIFIED Josh did an outstanding job in assisting us in acquiring our ideal home. He possesses extensive knowledge about various aspects of housing and has consistently been prompt in his responses. He was readily available via text whenever we needed him. Additionally, he accompanied us to numerous open houses, providing valuable insights and helping us grasp nuances that we were previously unaware of, particularly as first-time homebuyers. I wholeheartedly recommend him as your realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED This was our first home purchase, but not our first agent. We were so happy that we found Josh. He was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything that was happening throughout the process. He always explained our options and provided sound advice when making offers. I would highly recommend Josh to anyone looking to buy in the South Bay he was gentle with us, but a real pit bull during negotiations and got us exactly what we wanted. Thanks Josh!

ZillowVERIFIED Joshua and Austin provided excellent, professional service with integrity, honesty, book smarts, street smarts, compassion, and a network of top notch vendors. He helped us complete a contingent offer - unheard of in this competitive market! Through it all, Joshua and Austin guided us in a heated market that was changing every day, with knowledgeable, experienced, caring and smart advice. It's reassuring to know there are still good people in this world, like Joshua and Austin.

ZillowVERIFIED When dealing with Josh it is like you are his only client. He answers all questions immediately and thoroughly. He exceeded my expectations in all areas of the process of selling my home. I was 1000 miles away during the whole process and he took on responsibility to do things that I would do if I were there.

ZillowVERIFIED We reached out to Josh to assist in the sale of our condominium which my two siblings and I inherited from a parent. Josh tirelessly worked with each of us, addressing our concerns professionally and promptly. Josh coached us through the preparation for listing, and when it came time to review offers, we were astonished at how many were received significantly over our asking price. Once we selected the buyer, Josh again coached us through the contingencies and inspections. All items were completed ahead of time, and we closed a week early! Highly recommended!

ZillowVERIFIED I wanted to write a review for Joshua Hammond, who recently helped my mom and I sell my Grandmothers home in Torrance. I wish I could add to the five star rating as Josh was nothing but the best. If I could give ten out of five stars, I would! Highly recommended! I worked with Josh originally back in 2016 when I was looking to buy a home, so I knew when it was time to find someone to help in selling my Grandmothers home, Josh was my go to guy! First and foremost, Josh is the real deal. He knows real estate, the laws, the market, and the business as a whole. And he knows the South Bay area inside and out. What really stood out was his openness and honesty. He gave sound advice and was always looking out for our best interest. If you are in need of a real estate agent, look no further. He will definitely guide you through the process and be there for you every step of the way.

ZillowVERIFIED We had the pleasure of working with Josh in buying our home. From our first encounter to when we received the keys to our new home, Josh was professional, easy to work with, and incredibly responsive. He made a stressful process as smooth as home buying can be (and it's stressful!). With so many questions on our end, Josh never made us feel like we were asking too many questions and always took time to explain things to us. I would definitely recommend Josh to anyone looking for their next home if they're looking to work with someone professional, responsive, and has your best interest in mind.

ZillowVERIFIED Since the minute I clicked his name on Zillow, he responded back on how he can help find a home for me and my wife. His level of care and professionalism is the highest Ive seen. Ive dealt with realtors that are not transparent and felt like they didnt care about you. Josh actually cares and have a true passion to get you a home. Josh, thank you for everything. Clicking your name on Zillow was something I will never regret.

ZillowVERIFIED If you want a realtor that is current on market trends, well versed in knowing the ins and outs of buying a home and is someone you can lean on during the process, USE JOSH!!! Josh knows his stuff and we couldn't have found our dream home without him and his guidance. He was always there when we needed him, great with follow up, scheduled so many showings for us during COVID and was truly the person we needed. I can't speak more highly of him and the assistance of his partner Austin. You won't go wrong working with Josh.

Review for Member: Joshua Hammond
ZillowVERIFIED Josh helped us buy and sell our home in Torrances Marble Estates and really set the standard for what we want in a real estate agent. It was our first time buying a home, and he walked us through the entire process. When we decided to move out of Southern California two years later during the COVID-19 lockdown, we were not confident about our asking price at all. However, with Joshs expertise the home was priced above our own estimate, and he sold it for more than asking price. He even helped us coordinate the services we needed to sell the home. He is humble, honest, and efficient, so it was no surprise that our buyers picked him as well.

Review for Member: Joshua Hammond
ZillowVERIFIED Buying a home in Southern California is a chess game. How many people are going to offer? How do I make my offer more competitive? Is this really the right house and neighborhood for our family? We were first time buyers with a lot of ignorance, full-time jobs, and two young kids trying to navigate it all. Josh was always there for our questions -- whether they be related to how the process works or when we should give our landlord 30 days. We listened to him and we're writing this from our new house which we didn't think would ever happen.

ZillowVERIFIED Josh was incredibly helpful in helping my wife and I buy our first home. We knew very little about the whole process from start to finish, and Josh was great at walking us with ease through each steps, explaining carefully what each milestone would entail and how to prepare for the next step. After the purchase, Josh was also very responsive in answering questions and concerns about the home warranty when minor work had to be performed around the home. We are definitely recommending Josh for a buy/sale and are planning on utilizing his services when we decide to sell our current home and purchase a new one.

ZillowVERIFIED The first time I met Joshua Hammond, I already in my mind had decided to have him be my agent in selling my house but wanted to meet another agent before I made a final decision but as I drove around my mind kept telling me Joshua would be the one to handle the sale. Ultimately we signed the contract and Joshua Hammond was unbelievable! He was on top of applying his expertise and got to sell my house in no time. From then on everything was taken care of smoothly. I was so lucky to have found such an experienced and honest person in Joshua. If anyone is looking to sell or buy a property don't hesitate getting in touch with Joshua Hammond, he is the BEST!!!!

He was fully prepared at our 1st meeting to discuss the sale of our house. He had an energy and passion for Torrance and for selling homes.Prior to the listing going public, he prepared a well thought out marketing plan utilizing his local knowledge and expertise in Torrance.The result was outstanding with several offers all over asking price in 6 days. He kept in touch with us every step of the process pre and post escrow, answering all questions. He is a true professional from start to finish.

ZillowVERIFIED Josh didn't just help me buy and sell a home, he helped me understand the value of my investment and partnered with me to plan for my future. I had a property that I was renting out and making a little bit of money on, Josh helped me think outside the box, provided advise on tax implications of selling my property now vs 2 years down the line, provided contacts and input on how to best to prep the property for sale and was instrumental in getting me top dollar for my property. From there he helped me find a new multi-unit property to invest in, gave me advise on locations to make the best use of my money, helped facilitate all the ins and outs of a fixer upper and get me a new rental property that I will be able to use towards my retirement. His knowledge, foresight and experience was required to get me to where i am today and I am extremely thankful. I would absolutely recommend Josh if you are looking to buy, sell or plan for your future.
