I highly recommend Joe and the team at Best Address Group. I am a first time home buyer who had a lot of questions and wanted to see a lot of places before I made my choices. Joe talked me through many of good answers and clarifications. He took me to see lots of properties in many areas as I was narrowing my search. He was patient and thorough, giving me the guidance I needed in a tough housing market. Once I found the house I wanted, Joe coached me through an effective offer strategy. I successfully purchased the first house I put in an offer on! After my offer was accepted, I got a lot of valuable guidance and support from Joe and Rosemary to get me through a speedy and efficient closing process. Throughout everything the whole team was pleasant, professional, and made a stressful process easier whenever possible. I can't say enough good things about Best Address Group and Joe Himali.

Joe came highly recommended from close friends, and we couldn't be happier with the support, expertise and guidance he provided us in selling our house. He quickly established himself as a trusted advisor in helping us develop a plan to prepare our home for sale. We were open about our limited experience in real estate transactions, and he never tired of answering our questions and proactively explaining the sometimes arcane details one needs to navigate. It is impossible to imagine a team more dedicated, proactive, patient, knowledgeable and experienced in guiding you through buying or selling, in any market. At every stage of the process: strategizing when would be the best time to sell within our desired window, cost-benefit analysis of how best to prepare the property, connecting us with solid contractors to do the work, taking care of innumerable details behind the scenes, launching, contract negotiation, and going above and beyond to follow up on every conceivable detail. It truly was an incredible privilege to work with Joe and his team!

Joe Himali is the BEST! Approximately 16 years ago, Joe helped me purchase my first condominium on Connecticut Avenue in Washington, DC, and, recently, helped me sell it. Let's just say that I could not have done it without his assistance and expertise. I wanted to sell quickly, and he made it happen. Very professional and well connected, his advice on contractors (and a wonderful moving company!) helped expedite the transaction. I was also impressed with his knowledge of historic, pre-war buildings in the area. You cannot go wrong using Joe and his dedicated staff for your real estate needs. I highly recommend!

Joe expertly navigated us through our home-searching and buying process during a particularly difficult market. We ended up with an incredible house in part because of Joe's connections. Throughout our search, Joe provided unique insights into every home we looked at, detailing updates the house would likely need, the quality of the home and its appliances, and gave ideas for how we could make the home ours. Joe was and is always available for his clients and was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!

Joe's services have been excellent! We worked with him to find our new 2bedroom in DC. He helped us refine our search parameters, educated us wonderfully around all the details of purchasing a house, helped us skillfully in our decision-making by keeping in mind both financial and personal preferences. His negotiation and project management skills were impressive! He has a rich set of experience, and a broad network of competent contractors. He bring a huge portion of empathy and patience and is available whenever we needed him. He is supported by a wonderful and competent team. We'll definitely work again with Joe!

Joe helped my wife and I buy a townhouse in Gaithersburg. It was a fun and easy experience! We did some viewings in person and some viewings via FaceTime on our schedule. He and his whole team are very responsive, knowledgeable, and they help walk you through the entire process! Will go with Joe again in the future! 11/10!!!!

Joe is in a league of his own within this business. I have worked with multiple agents as both buyer and seller, all of whom were excellent. However, my experience with Joe and his team made clear that some brokers go above and beyond at every step. Thanks to Joe, mine was the winning bid on a property that received more than 20 offers. I am certain that Joe's work leading up to the deal and his navigation of the lighting-quick decisions required of us in the final, heated moments are the reason we own the property today. The current market (low-inventory, too many qualified buyers) presents unprecedented challenges to buyers. Joe anticipated and solved for every single one of them. Joe came to me highly recommended by multiple people who had worked with him, so my expectations were high. He exceeded them.In our first call, Joe explained to me exactly how one needs to conceptualize and structure offers in a competitive market. I'd interviewed multiple agents to represent me locally, and within 5 minutes he made suggestions that no one had ever mentioned. At each property, Joe pointed out structural, functional and aesthetic details my family and I had missed. When I found the property that we wanted, Joe did so much due diligence that he unearthed and resolved a potential legal matter before the offer was even submitted, thereby making the process easier for all parties. He made sure that both financially and logistically my offer was unbeatable. Last but not least, he's super nice and fun to work with! I cannot recommend Joe highly enough.

Select Joe Himali as your real estate agent in order to maximize your outcomes. Joe Himali has been my real estate agent in over five buying and selling transactions. Our bids have one each time. In all cases, he has leveraged his knowledge and experience to maximize my financial outcomes. Much of this is the time he spends to help inform you of the various options and outcomes thereby including you in the decision-making process. Moreover, he has dealt with complex transactions involving condo and co-op boards. He also maintains a network of associates in the contracting and finance field that will help enhance your offer position (whether sending an offer or receiving offers). Lastly, I have been able to engage with Joe years before listing in order to strategize home improvements. If you are buying a home, and Joe is the listing agent, know that he has likely worked with the seller to make a lot of improvements to the home in ways that really benefit both the seller and the buyer. I will probably always use Joe Himali as an agent if I'm looking in his market area.

Joe helped me buy a DuPont condo in 2000. We were both just kids. The internet barely existed, and it was an analog experience: He drove me around town (in a manual Jetta), opened lockboxes, and we took our time looking at places. In 2021, Joe sold the condo for me. It was a digital experience: We Zoomed, I DocuSigned docs, and the buyer and I closed from opposite ends of the country. But the experience with Joe felt no less personal or engaging. Hes got a great, responsive, ready-to-work team that I could trust to do the smart and right thing. I can say only good things.

Joe has met all of my expectations as a top real estate broker. I had a beautiful condo that needed to be sold fast that came with a few challenges. In a few months after all the marketing that Joe and his team did, it sold! I will definitely use him again. He also works globally with industry top agents. Joe, many thanks for your hard work and getting my condo sold faster than expected!
