Joshua Thurman

A consummate professional whose in-depth knowledge of homes and the real estate market is unparalleled, Josh Thurman is a skilled negotiator who is enthusiastic about the industry. Josh has served all property types and price points for over 20 years and his background strengthens his experience and insight leading to a process that is often seen as stressful and overwhelming. Josh, and his real estate partner Barbara Bro, make the process of buying or selling easy and successful. Together as the JB Collaborative, they work as a group to meet all of their clients’ needs.

With a background as a licensed general contractor who has been a builder and developer for over 25 years, Josh doesn’t only know the market and trends across King and Snohomish counties, he also understands every facet of a real estate transaction. A natural listener, Josh consults with clients on how a home is built and maintained, bought, and sold, used, and inherited. His previous transactions include commercial properties and relocation services in addition to residential real estate, and his team offers full-service and planning from A-Z in every real estate transaction.

Josh speaks English and Spanish and grew up in Libya, Malta, and Spain, and graduated from Columbia University in the city of New York. His global perspective is only part of the reason aligning with Sotheby’s International Realty was a natural decision. The global network of like-minded colleagues around the world amplifies the work he’s done in relocation. His clients, both local and those relocating from elsewhere, praise his responsiveness, insight, and thorough planning for each transaction. Combined with the power of the award-winning marketing offered by Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty, he is able to offer his clients a trusted brand and outstanding assets that make each listing and each experience stand apart from a crowded marketplace.

Josh’s real estate knowledge and insights are backed by the team at JB Collaborative. Offering 50 years of combined real estate experience, they guarantee strategic analysis, proven results, and satisfied clients, with expertise that touches on every real estate specialty, including residential, condominium, new construction, vacant land, and commercial ventures.

Frequently enjoying Seattle’s excellent food scene, Josh loves to take advantage of all the Pacific Northwest has to offer. He sails and hikes when he wants a dose of the Puget Sound's incomparable outdoors, and when he's in the mood for arts and culture, he enjoys Seattle's rich theater scene.
