Testimonials
"We had an awesome experience working with Josh! Josh made us feel like VIP clients. He did his homework and was able to get us into a bunch of houses within the first week of meeting with him. He was very knowledgeable about the home buying process and things to look out for and was even able to give advice for possible remodel ideas to get what we wanted out of the space. Even after we closed he was very helpful in answering our questions about the house or getting us in contact with people that could help us with whatever we needed. "

"When it came time to downsize my home and buy something that better met my needs, Josh Torkelson of the Gillum Group ensured that what could have been a stressful process was in fact a pleasant journey. Josh helped me prepare my existing house for sale, kept a steady stream of potential buyers moving through with minimal disruption to my family, and we found the right buyer much quicker than I had ever anticipated. When it came to finding my new home, Josh never hesitated when my preferences changed, from number of bedrooms I wanted, new versus existing construction, layout, and neighborhood. Josh kept finding homes to tour and ultimately found the perfect place to call home. Finally, Josh's experience came in handy when I had a few stressful moments during the closing process and he always helped bring me back down to earth, put my mind at ease, and helped me realize that he would get me into my new home. I could not be more pleased with both Josh Torkelson and the Gillum Group! "

"Josh was excellent to work with through the entire process of buying a home. He was honest in setting realistic expectations based on our needs and our budget. We were moving from several hours away but he kept us informed and was always available to answer question and was flexible in working with our schedule when we were able to do in person visits to multiple homes to view. Once we found the place we wanted he was a great help in getting the offer in and facilitating the paperwork. He went above and beyond even after the sale in helping us relocate. I would not hesitate in recommending Josh in the future to anyone looking for a honest hard working realtor."

"My husband and I had reached a dead end and were ready to give up when Josh asked if he could help. He was very patient, kind and most of all positive and honest. We ran into obstacles but he found a solution and we closed a month later. He doesn't judge and will do everything he can to help. I trust him so much that my family has since worked with him to find and close on a brand new home as well! GREAT GUY!"
