Josh Luchs

Thanks again to you and your team for helping us through the process of selling our 18 unit apartment building and transitioning into 2 NNN properties. From my perspective it was easy and effortless, owing mostly to you and your team’s hard work. Looking back to one year ago, I’m thrilled to be able to say that my family is now generating more cash flow, requiring much less hand on management. You promised and delivered!

Thanks again - I look forward to the possibility of working with you and your team again in the future.

I want to wholeheartedly express my gratitude and appreciation to Josh Luchs and the exceptional team that he surrounds himself with.
Josh takes the role of a fiduciary to a level that I had lost all hope of ever finding in a commercial broker.
After three failed escrows and three failed commercial brokers, Josh stepped in midstream on the fourth escrow and gallantly brought it to a successful close.
To label Josh as a problem solver would be a gross understatement.
His involvement with closing my deal did not stop there, he segued seamlessly into finding me the perfect 1031 exchanges and successfully closed those deals with the same vigor and expertise. (Not an easy feat during 2020!) I owe a ton of gratitude to Josh and truly look forward to working with him in the many years to come.

It has been being extremely delightful to have worked with Josh Luchs in selling our apartment building in North Hollywood and to negotiate an attractive price with a difficult buyer. He did on outstanding job in doing this and we highly value his dedication and efforts in accomplishing it. It is with gratitude in our hearts that he have done a wonderful dedicated job of handling a number of annoying and even threatening details in a most efficient and unique way.
In dealing with Josh, he gave us the strong feeling and confidence, right from the start, of being helpful, caring agent, who would always look out for our best interest first and thereby build on excellent long term relationship. We are currently continuing working with him as a 1031 triple net single tenant exchange with our apartment sole.
Josh is the best, the most dedicated and most capable real estate associate we ever dealt with in our past 55 yrs. We are in our early 90s with limited transportation to the property. He so often have taken care of important matters at the property for us, such as getting tenant estoppels statement, posting notices, arranging to rent vacant units on our behalf so that the buyer could get financing, etc. We so much appreciate his dedicated and highly unusual support in your competitive business.
We would never ever consider anyone else on any future transactions. We already are telling all our friends about Josh and are suggesting that they use him for any of their own future transactions. What more can we say about how we feel this great person in your office?

On behalf of Gusto Enterprises, LLC I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for assisting in the purchase of several 1031 exchange properties upon the sale of a residential income property in Los Angeles, California.
From the very first introduction and presentation we were extremely impressed with your extensive knowledge and experience in sales and acquisitions. After careful review and consultation, a selection of properties was identified. Henceforth, the sale and acquisitions went extremely smoothly due to your expert handling of the matter in the most professional and thoughtful manner. At every stage of the transactions your helpful insight resulted in cost effective measures and the avoidance of complications.
I am amenable to give further details of my experience to any interested party. Please feel free to direct any inquiries to my office.

Rarely a day goes by when I don’t feel a HUGE sense of relief that I sold my LA area 11 unit apartment building, and deep gratitude to the broker who sold it for me, Josh Luchs.
The sale was a challenge and would not have been possible without a first rate, diligent, very knowledgeable and experienced Real Estate broker. That broker is Josh Luchs.
I proudly owned my apartment building for 35 years…it appreciated in value and performed well …..until COVID. Within a few short months, rental income dropped by 50%. Expenses, maintenance, and tenant demands continued, but tenants learned they could stop paying rent, and several did. As the city imposed more rent controls and restrictions, my frustration grew, I lost my patience and decided to sell.
Even under these circumstances, Josh did an effective job of marketing, extolling the virtues of this stately, superbly located “pride of ownership” building. Josh dealt with a difficult, scrutinizing, and demanding buyer, but with his persistence and professionalism, he managed to close the sale.
Furthermore, Josh located a NNN property meeting all my criteria as the upleg of a 1031 exchange and efficiently handled many complicated requirements to effect the transaction.
I am so grateful to Josh. He came highly recommended to me, and I understand why. He stands out in a large field of brokers and is THE best I have dealt with in my many years in real estate. I enthusiastically and wholeheartedly recommend Josh Luchs to anyone looking for an outstanding broker!

I write this to thank you for your quality effort in facilitating the close of Prospect Ave. I had never done a “best & final” transaction “of the times” and your guidance was spot on with everything. Can’t remember doing a deal that went this smooth, even with a motivated Buyer & Seller, shit usually still happens, but not here.
The main appreciation I have is for your help, or really leadership in getting rid of the Section 8 tenant during escrow, in a rent control property. We both knew it was a move in the best interest of the property, and since I was non contingent, my best interest. You spotted some wrong doings from the tenant, and thru communication with the owner, you were able to negotiate a “Notice to Vacate” from her, and she honored it by moving.
I expect your team to be very productive for years to come. After getting my RE License 40 years ago, its refreshing to see so much passion for Real Estate product & transactions.

We want to thank you for your recent efforts on our behalf in not only selling our multi-residential building in Sherman Oaks for a record price but also for helping us thereafter to accomplish a 1031 exchange for a NNN lease on a beautiful, improved lot in Phoenix, Arizona under a 20 year lease. I have been handling large commercial transactions for almost thirty years for very sophisticated clients, but I have never seen a sale process quite like the one you ran for our Sherman Oaks property! I have no doubt that your process maximized our selling price, which resulted in quick close with a record price per door in the Valley.
The nature of the process you ran kept the demands upon us as sellers to a bare minimum - it doesn’t get much better than a one day open house for buyers, a strict one week bid deadline, a controlled access due diligence website, a mandatory form APA for all buyers, and about 15 or so offers to choose from. You leveraged your network for us and the results were brilliant. Once we closed our sale, you immediately focused us on what we needed to do to qualify for a 1031 exchange. You served as a great resource in all matters; you educated us about cost segregation, facilitated our financing, and helped us to identify pitfalls with various purchase opportunities. When we ultimately identified a property, your personal relationship with the seller’s broker helped to seal the deal for us. Bottom line - you know your stuff and we would not hesitate to use you for another purchase or sale again.

We are delighted with the manner in which you handled the sale of our Panorama City property-you guys were methodical and on-top of the game which resulted in a speedy contract with favorable negotiation. We are grateful for all your work on our behalf and hope to remain in contact for possible future transactions.
