I would work with Joseph a million times over. That’s the Tea. -Kandy Muse, TV Personality & Creative


As this was my third home purchase and fourth search, I can confidently say Joseph stands out as the best realtor I've ever had. It genuinely felt like he was in our corner, keen on helping us make the right choice. Once we set our sights on the perfect place, Joseph went above and beyond in his research and negotiated an astounding deal for us, earning even the seller's agent's admiration for a deal they hadn't seen before. -Rob Ross, Founder of Studio RRD


Having moved from Texas, Joseph Castillo was instrumental in ensuring my move went as smoothly as possible. He was truly informative and knowledgeable regarding every neighborhood in NYC, which is exactly what I needed as a NYC transplant. -Wisdom Kaye, Creative and Model


Working with Joseph was truly a game-changer in my real estate journey. What started as a casual exploration of properties in Williamsburg blossomed into a successful purchase in Clinton Hill, all thanks to Joseph's expertise and dedication. From our first meeting, I was impressed by his in-depth knowledge of the NYC real estate market and his ability to tailor his approach to my unique needs and preferences — important as I was a first-time buyer. -Nilay Shah, Product Strategy Lead at Meta


Just when I thought I had Manhattan figured out, my daughter, an NYU student, decided to trade it for Brooklyn post a semester abroad. Enter Joseph – our recommended guide in this housing adventure. Joseph's a gem not just for his real estate prowess, but for being genuinely good people. His honesty about places that didn't fit the bill (thanks to location, security, or proximity to undesirable elements) was refreshing. -Erin Roberts, Chief Legal Counsel at Five Guys


I’ve known Joseph for years and have always trusted him to find the perfect home for several of my most high-profile clients. -Chris Lukas, Talent Director at IMG Models


He was patient, respectful, honest, and attentive. He educated my mother and I every step of the way and he never took his foot off the gas.. -Erica Beige, Account Services Manager at Equinox


I was connected to Joseph through a friend and could not have asked for a better realtor. I live out of State and was looking for a second home in the City. My lack of knowledge of the different neighborhoods and what things should cost was a bit intimidating, but Joseph was very patient with me and made everything easy. He has an impressive knowledge of everything the various communities have to offer; he knows the architecture, the cultural centers, the parks/outdoor spaces, the best restaurants, the subway stops, the best fitness centers, etc. He also has a firm grasp on fair market value. He understood my wants and made the process easy. I would highly recommend Joseph to anyone looking to make a move to or in New York City. -John Cooper | President & Founder, Cooper Tacia General Contracting Company


Having moved from Texas, Joseph Castillo was instrumental in ensuring my move went as smoothly as possible. He was truly informative and knowledgeable regarding every neighborhood in NYC, which is exactly what I needed as a NYC transplant. He stayed on top of his game throughout the entire process by finding new options even when we felt we had sorted through all of them. Working with Joseph made it so much more achievable to navigate the overwhelming and rapidly changing real estate market in New York City. -Wisdom Kaye | Content Creator


Just when I thought I had Manhattan figured out, my daughter, an NYU student, decided to trade it for Brooklyn post a semester abroad. Enter Joseph – our recommended guide in this housing adventure. Joseph's a gem not just for his real estate prowess, but for being genuinely good people. His honesty about places that didn't fit the bill (thanks to location, security, or proximity to undesirable elements) was refreshing.
Even with my daughter miles away, Joseph took us on a virtual tour of Brooklyn via Facetime, keeping us engaged, especially after losing a promising spot. Long story short, he led us to the perfect place, and we couldn't be happier. I can't recommend Joseph enough he's not just a real estate pro, but someone we trust. We'll definitely be reaching out to him for any future ventures
-Erin Roberts l Deputy General Counsel at FIVE GUYS Enterprises, LLC


Joseph was the most helpful broker we could have imagined when hunting for our NYC rental. Our move was from out of state with a single weekend where we could tour things in person his communication leading up to the weekend was incredible, and his expertise was so helpful when determining what was reasonable for our neighborhood and budget. For our showing weekend, he coordinated all the showings for us, negotiated on our behalf, and ultimately got us placed in an apartment we love. I couldn’t recommend Joseph more and we will absolutely use him again whenever the time comes! -Amanda & Harley | Relocated from Nashville, TN
