Hi, I’m Josh Lugo, a born-and-raised San Diegan and proud real estate agent serving the community I’ve always called home. Growing up, I moved around a lot—renting place after place with my family. Those experiences sparked my passion for real estate and planted the seed for what would become a lifelong commitment to helping others find stability, opportunity, and growth through property ownership.

If you flipped through my high school yearbook, you'd probably find “Most Likely to Enjoy the Process” next to my name—and I still live by that today. Whether you're buying your first home, selling your current one, or making smart investment moves, I believe in embracing every step of the journey with patience, positivity, and purpose.

I wear a few different hats in life: real estate agent, mentor, and legacy builder. I got into this business not just out of personal interest, but to create wealth and security for future generations—something I hope to help my clients achieve as well.

For buyers, my favorite part of the process is seeing the excitement and sense of accomplishment when they get the keys to a new home. For sellers, it’s helping them maximize their return while making the transition as smooth as possible. No matter what side you're on, my advice remains the same: The best time to buy was yesterday. Ten years from now, you’ll be glad you did.

My heart belongs to the Otay and Eastlake area—I grew up there playing baseball and basketball, and it still feels like home. Downtown San Diego also holds a special place in my memories. I went to school nearby, and I still love the museums, symphony, and vibrant nightlife. It’s the kind of place that makes you fall in love with San Diego all over again.

If you’re new to the city, I’d tell you to explore Balboa Park, catch a Padres game, hit the beach (you can’t go wrong with La Jolla Cove or Sunset Cliffs), and don’t miss Coronado. As for hidden gems? I’ll save those for our next conversation—every local has a few secrets worth sharing.

Fun fact before we wrap up: my twin brother and I made the news the day we were born. It’s a story for another time, but let’s just say the spotlight has been part of my life since day one.

If you’re ready to take the next step—buying, selling, or investing—I’d be honored to be part of your journey. Let’s make moves that matter.
