Josh was instrumental in selling our apartment 315 East 70th Street, 2k, NY, NY 10021. Josh negotiated, staged and sold our apartment for the highest amount ever for the K line in our building!! Two months earlier, a similar size apartment in building sold for 200k less! Without his flexibility, knowledge of what we needed to sell, ability to work with all parties, this would never have happened. Instead, my two children can be raised in the city because we were able to buy another place. Result driven, customer centric!

To Whom It May Concern: Please accept this as a letter of recommendation for Josh Fields and the real estate firm which he works for, Spire Group. I have known Josh for more than 15 years. I originally met Josh playing softball and I saw him make the transition into the real estate industry soon after we met. I immediately noticed how hard working he was as he was always on the phone during games. Having helped several of the players on our team successfully purchase and sell property, I unwaveringly enlisted his services to help me sell my two bedroom, two bath coop apartment at 35 West 92nd Street, where I lived for more than 15 years. Josh advised me on how to best stage the apartment using the furniture I already had, which saved me from laying out money and also made me more money. He produced a beautiful and professional multi-page marketing show book which impressed prospective buyers. He held several open houses and showed by private appointment, and was able to procure multiple offers at and above the asking price. Josh negotiated a ''best and highest'' situation, and I ended up accepting the most qualified offer well over ask. Josh''s knowledge of the sales process was invaluable to me. He has an acute awareness of all of the details that needed to be handled to streamline the transaction and deliver optimal results. He was calm, professional, and a great negotiator. Most of all, I thoroughly enjoyed working with him as he is a great guy with tremendous integrity. This said, I highly recommend Josh Fields to help you with all of your real estate needs. Should you have any questions, please don''t hesitate to contact me by phone or email.

For many years as a bachelor, I lived in a tiny studio in Murray Hill. Then life reached a new plateau: my pregnant fiance was moving in with me, so I needed a lot more space & fast! Josh busted his hump to help me find exactly the right place for my first family home. After working hard to show me an uncountable number of apartments in Murray Hill, Hell''s Kitchen, and the Upper East Side, Josh found us THE perfect place in Hamilton Heights. Tons of room, beautiful cherry wood floors, new appliances, and bright, sunny views of the Hudson River and the George Washington Bridge. We saw the most amaaaazing sunsets in that apartment! Best of all, there were two terraces that, together, were bigger than my old studio in Murray Hill! My wife and I got married and then had our baby while we lived in that apartment, had all the room we needed, and we even had fabulous outdoor space and fresh air without having to step out of the front door. Josh Fields is a world-class real estate broker. Phone calls, emails, texts, paperwork, faxes, subways, taxis, and schlepping. Lots and lots of schlepping. This ass-kicking professional is like a real estate broker samurai, absolutely WHATEVER IT TAKES, Josh will get it done. Josh found me that apartment at the exact minute I was going through a dramatic change in life and, instead of the apartment hunt being a stressful nightmare, he made the entire process pretty damn easy and stress-free. I will never be able to thank him enough, and I honestly can''t recommend him strongly enough. Don''t waste your time with other brokers; just get Josh Fields and you''ll be glad you did! Best wishes, Sandy Feder, JD, MA CEO, Proud Lion Consulting ProudLionConsulting.com

I could not have had a better experience working with Josh to find an apartment in Manhattan. I just moved to New York City to start a new job, and I was very pressed for time in finding not only a place that was within my budget and close to my office, but also a roommate to share it with. Within two weeks of working with Josh, he introduced me to a potential roommate who lived in a clean, affordable apartment only two blocks away from where I work - I just signed the lease and am moving in this weekend! Josh''s work was extremely efficient, and he was excellent in paying attention to detail. I would be happy to recommend him to anyone!

I have used Josh every time I have rented a new apartment in Manhattan and each time Josh is as efficient and effective as possible. He knows the City well, understands his clients needs and always values the client over the transaction. I have recommended Josh on numerous occasions to family, friends and colleagues and they have all been extremely impressed. Call Josh and he will get it done!

I have worked with Josh for several years. He knows the NY rental market as well as anyone. Importantly, he''s responsive and very honest. I would highly recommend Josh to anyone looking for an apt in New York City
 

Courtney writes:

I recently moved to Manhattan for a new job and Josh helped me find the perfect apartment on the Upper East Side. He provides the highest quality of service and brings remarkable knowledge of the rental market in Manhattan. Josh is very responsive in communicating via email, phone or texting. He does his homework before you even view an apartment. Josh was very thorough on finding out my needs and budget and very organized so my time was spent looking at apartments that met my expectations. I spent one day looking at apartments and the last one I saw was perfect. When signing the lease teetered on no from the lessor, his perseverance, experience, and negotiation skills turned no into yes. I especially enjoyed working with Josh and feeling like I was working with a friend and not just a realtor. I will highly recommend Josh to my colleagues and friends with complete confidence whenever they need a real estate professional.

Josh was great to work understood what I was looking for, has a great knowledge of the city. He was really good to work with I would highly recommend him.
 

Marie Fabricante writes:

I am currently working with Josh. He is quick to respond and all in all very helpful. He works hard to accommodate our many requests. I highly recommend working with him.
 

Jennifer Ilgauskas writes:

We have been working with Josh for five years. Due to my husbands occupation we have been moving a bit in the last couple of years. It was our intention to live full time in New York city, but the best intentions can lead to a change in plans. I have not completely given up my hopes of living in the city so therefore I did not want to sell our townhome that I had worked on renovating and decorating for over a year. Josh has made the process of renting my baby (the townhouse) easier than I ever expected. He listens to us as clients and is very sensitive to what we would be looking for in a tenant. His patience and knowledge of the New York market has resulted in fabulous tenants along with some great stories to be told. Josh has a great sense of humor and is enjoyable to work along with being discreet and professional. It would be without hesitation that we would recommend Josh to broker any type of real estate deal for us. It has been such a pleasure to get to know Josh and his family along with the opportunity to work together.
 

Laura Patterson writes:

Searching for an apartment in Manhattan on limited time can be so stressful! My husband and I met with a few brokers who seemed pushy and insensitive. When we met Josh, he put our doubts at ease. He’s a great listener and understood exactly what we were looking for. He fought hard for us to get the best deal possible in the area we wanted. He knew all the small details about the building and the area, including all the best places to eat! He found a perfect place for entire family, including our pet. I highly recommend Josh to anyone and will definitely go to him in the future.
