About Josie Pakula

Meet Chicago native, horse-loving nurse turned real estate agent, Josie Pakula. Earning her masters in both Nursing and Business Administration at The University of Illinois, Josie also spent eleven years in the United States Army Nurse Corps (airborne). After returning to civilian life she worked as a pediatric trauma room nurse at Children's Memorial in the Windy City. To escape the harsh winters, in 1997, the Pakula family moved to the Valley of the Sun. Josie yearned for a new direction and career change that still focused on helping people. Since then her expertise and passion combined with her enthusiasm for real estate, dedication to client satisfaction and stellar marketing have earned her top recognition in the field. Since becoming licensed in 2010 she has earned considerable recognition for her impressive sales that have put her in the top .1% of all agents in Arizona and was named one of the "Top Women in Real Estate" for the fifth year in a row. Lauded for her extensive knowledge of pricing trends and inventory, has made her one of the most in demand Realtors in the business. Josie has built an impressive team to represent all your real estate needs with professionalism, dedication and an extensive book of buyers at their disposal. Her hobbies include her horses (DeAndre & Budda) and she's obviously a huge Arizona Cardinal fan. Josie's clients benefit from her affiliation with numerous elite networking groups, social media presence and maximum online exposure. Most of all, Josie takes great pride in delivering the luxury experience regardless of price point.

In a highly competitive market, Josie Pakula did a wonderful and professional job for me as a buyer, especially since I was out of state. She understood what I was looking for, educated me on the market, and was on top of new properties as they became available. When I found the right one, she guided me through the negotiations, in the face of multiple and competitive offers. She is highly professional, empathetic, a great listener, and patient with her clients. In short, she is exactly what I needed and what a buyers agent should be.

Josie was an absolute blessing to work with. On top of being an A+ communicator, her passion to truly help me is why she's ranked as one of the top agents in the state. I felt like I was her top priority (and I know she's busy), plus she always kept my best interest in mind. I now know what it means to work with a true real estate professional. I did purchase a house in McDowell Mountain Ranch area due to her recommendations. I will recommend Josie to others 100%!

Josie helped purchase our home in North Scottsdale during a very tight market. She helped find the home, submit our winning offer (five offers total), lead us though inspection and closing. She is very knowledgeable about the market trends and prices, access to resources during inspection period and knowledgeable about closing process. Every step of the way very responsive answering all questions and addressing every concern. Moreover, she was a delight to work with.

Josie is hands down the best realtor in the valley. As a first time home buyer, I was so nervous and confused about the whole process. Josie was patient and explained everything in detail. Josie and her whole team is incredibly knowledgeable and professional. She worked night and day to get us our dream home in Arizona's crazy housing market. I can't recommend Josie enough!!
