Judd is a wealth of knowledge and is a great resource for understanding what type of coverage is needed for all di erent properties, cars, personal belongings, etc. If he isn't able to take on the policy he is well networked in the industry where he can at least guide you in the right direction. The thing I love about Judd is you know he's a straight shooter, he walks you through the process, and at the end, you know you're covered in the most comprehensive way without over-selling you on things that don't make sense.

As he reflects on his career, Noah o ers helpful advice for others who are starting their own real estate careers. “It’s important to be patient in this business,” he says. “It’s not uncommon for people to get in and then quickly realize that this is not as easy as they thought it would be.”

“I think it’s very important for us as agents to not only sell real estate, but to also buy real estate and build wealth for the future,” he says. “I encourage people to buy real estate. We are on the front lines and have so much available to us at our fingertips that we can use to support our future.”

It’s important to be patient in this business. It’s not uncommon for people to get in and then quickly realize that this is not as easy as they thought it would be.

Combined with stellar customer service, it’s no wonder Goosehead Insurance is known as being the smarter choice in the industry.

Finding clients the best package or product at the most competitive price is the top priority at Goosehead Insurance. “We are a multi-billion-dollar public company and one of the biggest insurance brokerages in the country,” Lee says. “As such, we continually compare insurance plans. So when rates fluctuate, we contact clients and can reposition them to optimize their coverage. That’s the beauty of working with us instead of a captive agent.”

Lee takes pride in how he treats people and in doing things the right way. For example, after shopping dozens of A+-rated companies for the most competitive coverage, he reviews all

Bonds of Trust

One of the strongest elements in the world is knowing that you can rely on someone else.

Finding His Real Estate Career

Joshua earned his real estate license in March 2016. Prior to that, he had built a successful path in

Joshua earned his real estate license in March 2016. Prior to that, he had built a successful path in another business.

There’s no replacement for knowing that they are going to be there for you when you need them … and that they will always have your back with honesty and positive action on your behalf.

After Joshua had completed his collegiate career, he moved to Philadelphia and worked as a financial advisor.

After Joshua had completed his collegiate career, he moved to Philadelphia and worked as a financial advisor.

That’s where Joshua Ellis excels for those around him.

As a REALTOR® with Compass, Joshua has a passion for building bonds of trust.

“I love seeing the homes and making the connection of trust … those times when you can tell the client genuinely enjoys you and that they are looking to you for your advice and they are trusting you during this big decision,” Joshua says.

“Through that process of working with people, real estate was normally a big piece of my clients’ portfo-

“Through that process of working with people, real estate was normally a big piece of my clients’ portfolios,” he remembers.

“I enjoyed the experience that I was able to gain in that role. I wasn’t selling a tangible component, but I got a good perspective at a pretty young age and helped people save for their retirement.”

At the time, Joshua was looking at other options for his future. He talked with his aunt and uncle who were in real estate.

“I find it rewarding … seeing how you help someone. It means a lot to be being able to get them through and across that finish line … rather than treating it like a oneo sale … in the process, being their trusted resource.”

“My aunt and uncle had encouraged me to get into real estate earlier, as soon as I got out of college,” Joshua remembers. “By this time, I was ready to start. I talked

with them again and made the decision to move forward with it.”

Passion for People

The passion for making a di erence for people is a main driver for Joshua.

“For me, a big part of it is helping people make big financial decisions,” he says. “People who work with me know that I stay calm and that I always want to give them as much information as I can to help them make an informed decision.”

Another primary driver is fulfilling his sense of purpose. “I like to get up each day, get out there and achieve,” Joshua says. “I don’t care about being number one. I like to set goals and achieve them. A big part of success for me is chipping away, getting referrals and working with clients over and over. I’m thankful that my business has grown every year we’ve kept going.”

Today, Joshua is proud to team up with his uncle, Doug Fero, and another partner, Melissa Klock.

Fulfillment in Life

Away from work, Joshua treasures time with his family, including his wife, Allison, and their two children — 4-yearold, Wiley; and 6-month-old son, Kit.

In his free time, Josh is a big soccer fan.

“I love European soccer and have been to the World Cup in South Africa,” he emphasizes. “I also am a big fan of local Philly sports and like attending games.”

Other favorites include spending time at the beach, as well as exploring the latest and greatest restaurants in the city.

When it comes to giving back, Joshua, his teammate, Melissa; his uncle, Doug; and Doug’s wife, Terry Kirkwood; enjoy supporting the e orts of Cradles to Crayons. Joshua has also supported Habitat for Humanity.

The Rewards of Commitment

Real estate is definitely not an easy career. But it can be rewarding if you have the commitment and work ethic to power through.

“I always tell people to stick it out past the first two years. The first two years can be brutal. You need to stay true to who you are and service the client the way they need it,” Joshua says. “If you want to make a business out of this, you need to listen to clients and understand what they want. It’s that two year hump.”

With his genuine, straightforward nature, it’s easy to see that Joshua Ellis is here doing what he does for all the right reasons.

“I always want to go the distance to make sure things go the way they should for people,” he emphasizes. “I am going to be here for people whenever they have a question. People know they can shoot me a text with a question or when they need a piece of advice.”

With a solid, committed mindset and priorities set on doing what matters, Joshua Ellis continues building on the bonds of trust he has with his clients.
