3 Step Home Sale Story
At just four years old, Josh stood in his parents’ unfinished attic, hammer in hand, imagining the possibilities. Years later, while working his 9-to-5 job, a simple radio ad about local house flipping reignited that same spark — setting him on a lifelong path in real estate and helping homeowners move forward.
In 2014, Josh partnered with his older sister, Elana, to build affordable new construction homes throughout the Washington, DC region. As a Class A builder with a family-first approach, he built a reputation rooted in quality, integrity, and commitment to affordable housing.
Over time, Josh realized homeowners needed more than someone who could build houses — they needed a better way to sell them. That insight led to the founding of 3 Step Home Sale in 2020, extending the trusted service provided across the DC region for over a decade to homeowners in five states and counting.
Today, our close-knit team of 20+ professionals delivers builder-backed expertise and white-glove service to homeowners across multiple states.
