In this role, he leads the strategic direction and day-to-day operations for all Advisory Services business lines spanning leasing, sales, valuations, debt, and structured finance, and property management across all commercial property types in the region. His leadership focuses on expanding CBRE’s market presence across the San Fernando Valley, Tri Cities, and Ventura County, strengthening the firm’s foundation in one of Southern California’s most dynamic commercial corridors.
Josh brings extensive leadership experience in commercial real estate and a proven track record of building high-performing teams, scaling markets, and driving operational excellence.

He began his career as a Senior Associate specializing in multifamily investments, then moved into management as a Sales Manager in Long Beach, where he strengthened talent pipelines and boosted production.
His success in these roles led to his selection to spearhead the Indianapolis office, where he played a key role in driving the firm’s significant Midwest expansion. Building on this momentum, Josh was ultimately elevated to First Vice President and Regional Manager, overseeing five markets in the Central Midwest region, including Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Louisville, Kansas City, and St. Louis, with responsibility for sales, recruitment, training, and operational performance.
