A track record agents trust
“I cannot believe I ever relied on MLS comps prior to working with Josh and CBT title. Josh and the CBT title team have produced hundreds if not thousands of labels for me at no cost, down to the nittiest gritty details I need for my farming and marketing campaigns. These postcards and letters have a return of 30 to 70 percent, higher than any paid lead program like Zillow or Homes.com would ever give me.”Listing Agent · Orange County
“I recently completed one of the most complex transactions I have ever been involved in: vacant land with specific-use requirements, cross-collateralized properties, seller financing, and four foreign nationals across a 15-hour time difference. Simply put, this transaction required the A-Team, and Joshua Meador delivered. His communication, professionalism, and attention to detail were truly outstanding, and without his team I genuinely do not believe it would have come together at all.”Andrew Moore · Real Estate Professional
“Josh is one of the best in the business! Not only in title but as a trusted business partner. He is extremely diligent and helps make everything easy and streamlined for me and my clients! Highly recommend.”Wyatt P. · Compass Real Estate
“Josh is an absolute gamechager to have on your team and the amount of value he adds to your business makes him an easy choice as your go to title partner! I truly believe my business will flourish with Josh and his team in my corner. ”Brandon Halperin · Compass Real Estate
“I lost my mother last year and I inherited title to her home which is my primary residence. While I was mourning my mother's passing the tax assessor reassessed the home at a much greater value. I connected with Josh to answer some title questions and he ended helping me fill out the homeowners exemption form (BOE 266) & reassessment exclusion form (BOE 19) and walked me through the process of submitting it to the county. It literally saved me tens of thousands of dollars a year on property taxes. ”Dr Dave L.
