Josie Barondess

Josie serves both her clients and the team as Senior Team Realtor®, Accredited Staging Professional and as Team Listing Coordinator. Because potential buyers get their first look at a home online, Josie utilizes her incredible skills to assist with staging, then coordinating professional photography and copy-writing to enhance each listing to its full potential. Josie then creates a brochure unique to each listing, highlighting not only the property but the surrounding neighborhood so that potential buyers unfamiliar with the area have this vital initial information to make their best decision. She has also been a member of the Million Dollar Sales Club.

Josie has served the local community as Board President as well as Activities Committee Chairperson for the Sequoia Farms Owners Association Board for many years, and is an active volunteer in her synagogue. Josie and her husband David have two grown daughters who have both graduated from Virginia public universities, living and working in the area. She also enjoys sharing her skills with the newest generation of home buyers and sellers, as many of Josie’s friends and neighbors’ children are entering into the home ownership process for the first time.

Josie, who grew up in a military family, calls the East Coast home-base. She graduated from Annandale High School, has a BA in History from Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, VA and an MBA from National University in San Diego, CA. Josie says earning both her degrees, focusing on the classics with well-rounded curriculum, enhanced her over-all knowledge base and helped hone her focus on business strategies with regard to running her own business. Josie’s clients also benefit from her varied experience in the real estate field. Having started as an Office Administrator and Manager, then moving on to Real Estate Research Analyst for appraisers on both coasts, Josie’s career in real estate continued as an Administrative Assistant for a relocation department and for a mortgage loan officer, as well. Through this vast experience, she is uniquely qualified to educate her clients, from first time buyers to the more experienced, in the processes of buying a home.
