I am an Ohio resident, and I was looking to change my residency to Florida. I have a friend in the Fort Lauderdale area who recommended two excellent real estate agents to me. During the process, a source I used (Zillow) recommended Josh Dotoli with Compass Real Estate. I then found myself with three real estate agents looking for waterfront property in Fort Lauderdale. I made the decision to conduct my search with one agent, and Josh quickly differentiated himself from the other two agents. During this time of COVID-19, we needed to remotely pursue properties, placing an extra importance in the quality of the communication process from buying agent to buyer. Josh far exceeded all my expectations and requirements during this process. Josh literally made himself available to me 24/7, answering my myriad of questions via cell phone, answering my after-hours text messages, and conducting numerous FaceTime showings. Working with Josh Dotoli was a very productive and enjoyable experience. Josh is professional, responsive, knowledgeable about the market, and conducts his business with integrity. Most important, Josh possesses great negotiation skills. In the eleventh hour when I needed the best price possible, Josh was able to work with the selling agent and the seller on my behalf to provide me with the best price.
