About Joe

As a top-producing Realtor and managing partner at Next Step Realty, I am committed to providing you with an exceptional experience throughout your home buying or selling journey. Allow me to share my promise to you:

I understand that a significant portion of any real estate transaction takes place behind the scenes, often leaving clients uncertain about what is happening. As your trusted Realtor, my role is to pull back the curtain and keep you informed every step of the way. I believe in transparent and open lines of communication, ensuring that you have a clear understanding of the process without causing unnecessary stress. You can count on me to be readily available, responsive, and proactive in providing updates and addressing your questions and concerns promptly.

Together, we will establish a personalized plan and timeline for achieving your real estate goals. With over $100 million in career sales, I firmly believe that setting proper expectations is key to a successful transaction. While there may be factors beyond our control, my expertise and experience will help us navigate any unexpected changes more smoothly. I am committed to providing you with the knowledge and guidance you need to make informed decisions confidently throughout the process.

From the moment we start working together, I am dedicated to providing you with an unmatched service experience. The real estate process involves collaboration with various professionals, and I have built a network of reputable local experts through my years of successful transactions. I will connect you with the right professionals for any real estate needs you may have, from reliable mortgage brokers to experienced inspectors. Your satisfaction is my priority, and I will go above and beyond to exceed your expectations at every step.

What sets me apart is my unique background as a CODA (Child of a Deaf Adult) and my fluency in American Sign Language. I am acutely aware of the underserved nature of the Deaf community in real estate, and I am passionately committed to advocating for their needs. Overcoming communication barriers and ensuring equal access to exceptional real estate services for everyone is a priority for me. I strive to create an inclusive environment where every client feels heard and supported.

Google Review

I’ve been through three prior real estate transactions, but none have come close to the exceptional experience I had with Joe Smith. He is, without question, the best realtor I’ve ever worked with.

Selling my late father’s home was one of the most emotional and difficult decisions I’ve had to make, but Joe approached every step with compassion, care, and professionalism. He wasn’t just my realtor—he was a steady presence, a trusted advisor, and someone who genuinely had my back throughout the process.

Joe is the rare kind of professional who blends deep knowledge with genuine heart. He listened. He encouraged. He helped me let go of some of the control I was holding onto out of fear and grief, and in return, he earned my complete trust. He guided me with transparency and patience, never once making me feel rushed or unheard.

Thanks to Joe’s expertise, my father’s home was under contract in less than two weeks. The process was smooth from beginning to end. His communication was clear and consistent, and he leveraged his extensive network to take care of everything—repairs, removal, logistics—without ever missing a beat.

Joe Smith is truly one in a million. He’s not just a realtor; he’s a genuine human being who cares deeply about the people he works with. In a world where fluff and sales tactics often dominate, Joe is a straight shooter—no BS, no ego, just real support and real results.

I will never work with another realtor. Joe Smith is my go-to for any future real estate transactions in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area. He exceeded every expectation I had and brought comfort, clarity, and compassion to a process that could have otherwise felt unbearable.

Thank you, Joe, for honoring my father’s legacy with such care—and for having my back through it all.

Joe made our dream home come true! We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. Joe went above and beyond every step of the way—always honest, patient, encouraging during a tough market, and deeply knowledgeable. Thanks to his guidance, we found our dream home in our dream neighborhood without compromising our values/needs. We felt supported and confident throughout the entire process as first-time homebuyers. We highly recommend working with Joe and will pass along his name to any friends buying!
