Site and slope
Hillside and foothill lots can involve drainage, retaining walls, and soils questions. Ask for engineering history.

LUXURY REAL ESTATE
Exceptional homes.Detail-driven guidance.
From custom homes on the Salt Lake Valley’s east bench to mountain properties in the Heber Valley, luxury purchases deserve deeper due diligence and a quieter, more personal approach.
Utah real estate. People first.
High-end homes come with custom systems, unique lots, and fewer true comparables. Josh helps you look past the finishes to construction quality, site conditions, and long-term value and keeps your search or sale as private as you’d like.
- Private showings and off-market conversations when appropriate.
- Specialist inspections for custom systems and hillside lots.
- Pricing that accounts for limited comparable sales.
A PLAN YOU CAN FOLLOW
From the first question
to the next right step.
Start where you are. Work through the decisions together.
- 01
Define the essentials.
Views, acreage, privacy, garage space, outdoor living, or proximity to canyons and trails, clarify what truly matters.
- 02
Search on and off market.
Some high-end homes trade quietly. Josh watches the market and talks with other agents about homes not yet listed.
- 03
Go deeper on due diligence.
Plan specialty inspections (geotechnical, roof, HVAC zoning, pools, smart-home systems) and review HOA and CC&R restrictions.
- 04
Negotiate with care.
With fewer comparables, terms, timing, and inclusions can matter as much as price. Josh negotiates the whole package.
LOOK A LITTLE CLOSER
What sets luxury apart.
These details often decide whether a premium home is worth its price.
Custom construction
Review builder reputation, permits, warranties, and the condition of complex systems.
Privacy and access
Consider sight lines, gated access, snow removal, and how the property feels at different times of day.
Long-term value
Unique homes can take longer to resell. Think about how broadly the home will appeal when it’s time to move.
Can I sell my luxury home without a public listing?
Sometimes. Josh can talk through private or limited marketing options and the tradeoffs in exposure and price.
Which areas do you cover for luxury homes?
Josh works across the Wasatch Front and Wasatch Back. His public listing history includes homes in Sandy, Riverton, North Salt Lake, Heber City, and Midway; ask about the area you have in mind.
