About Me

CEO of Prestige Investments, Property Management, and Builders and Contractors

Joshua’s story is one truly of coming from the bottom. Having been fostered by his aunt and uncle, and losing parents to drug addiction, most would say Josh had all the cards played against him. His childhood was filled with family struggles due to issues going on at home. But after being rescued by his aunt and uncle as a young boy he was able to overcome the odds against him. After earning his bachelor’s degree from Fitchburg State University, he had not found his passion.

He started researching real estate and shortly thereafter, Josh’s real estate career started after getting married and fostering three children, and by buying a four-family home in Gardner, Mass. He quickly became fascinated by real estate and all it had to offer, from contracting to creative financing. His first venture after his first home was a short-term rental in Orlando Florida … it was short-lived, as it became one of his biggest learning lessons in real estate and business, so he decided to dial it back and focus locally to start where he could build what would soon become the brand Prestige.

The company started off with a beat-up truck, “old Betty,” a $200 mower and a $150 blower. With landscaping experience, they just started tinkering around and getting a few jobs mowing lawns, cleaning properties, etc. Come winter, they had to figure out their next step, which would be plowing and painting. Having turned a couple of apartments on his own, Josh started to offer apartment turns for a service, providing both painting and flooring services. This led to getting his first clients in property management. Within a few years of managing his own real estate, he went off and started offering the service he built his company around — property management –and suddenly, the business blossomed. By the end of the second year in business, the company managed 75 units, and since then has nearly doubled in size each year, now having managing over 650 total units, 550 at one time. In addition to this, the firm’s construction team grew rapidly and to date, the company has turned and renovated more than 225 apartments, flipped dozens of homes, built new construction, and is now providing any and all construction services with many partners, contractors and tradesmen who have decided to join the team.

 

Josh learned fast how to be an incredible property manager, and construction manager by dedicating his life for nearly a decade to learn all facets of real estate … He has scaled to owning over 50 apartment units, flipping houses on a monthly basis, and building a great management and construction brand…. But the thing that matters the most to him is the ability to give back in the world. Josh and his wife have founded the Make-A-Change Foundation, which is dedicated to providing life-changing experiences and education to foster children and orphans. With the Prestige team, they are dedicated to making an impact in this world beyond their own success by bringing light and love to children in need. Having come from nothing, being fostered as a child, to being able to adopt three of his incredible children with his wife during this journey has provided what Josh believes to be a competitive advantage at Prestige — providing incredible service, and able to make incredible impact a reality. As one of Josh’s mentors and friends, Cole Hatter, would say, “Let’s Make Money Matter.”

Josh and his team at Prestige have been managing my property for about 6 months and so far have been phenomenal. They were able to place high-quality tenants quickly and even handled a plumbing emergency over the holidays. They have also overseen some renovations for me, and the pricing has been fair and the work completed quickly.
