A Little About Rich Joseph

1% Realtor is a veteran-owned, professional licensed Real Estate Company with options for you, the seller. We have been in the real estate industry for over 33 years. We specialize in buying houses quickly, with less hassle, and for a fair cash price. We typically help homeowners who want to sell a house sooner rather than later. We specialize in situations such as foreclosure, houses “stuck” in probate, landlords with tenants, and any other unusual situation homeowners might find themselves facing.
