"Real estate is one of the largest financial decisions most people will ever make. Yet most people are expected to navigate it with very little understanding of how it actually works. Queensberry Advisors was built to change that."
Read the StoryMost people go through the buying or selling process without fully understanding what they are agreeing to — the contracts, the timelines, the negotiation dynamics, the true cost of ownership. Queensberry Advisors exists to close that gap. We are an advisory firm first. The transaction follows the education.
Three principles guide every conversation, every recommendation, and every negotiation.
We study the market, the contracts, the negotiation dynamics, and the local context — continuously. Mastery is not a credential. It is a standard of preparation that shows up in every conversation we have with a client.
We are advisors first. Our responsibility is to help people make good decisions — not rush them into action. Service means being honest when the timing is not right. It means slowing down when the market is pressuring you to move fast.
Real estate is one of the most powerful wealth-building tools available to ordinary people — when approached with wisdom and long-term thinking. We help clients see not just the home in front of them, but where it fits in their financial life.
Whether you are purchasing your first home or your fifth, understanding the process is essential. Explore our buyer roadmap and resources built for Hampton Roads buyers.

Real estate is one of the largest financial decisions most people will ever make. Yet most people are expected to navigate it with very little understanding of how it actually works.
Queensberry Advisors was built to change that. Joshua Smith helps Hampton Roads buyers and sellers understand the process, evaluate their options, and make informed decisions with confidence.
Every recommendation is guided by three principles:
"Josh was absolutely amazing from beginning to end throughout the entire process of selling our old home and purchasing our new one. His hard work ethic, dedication, and communication were truly top tier. No matter the time or situation, he always kept us informed and made sure we understood every step along the way. He made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. We were able to sell our old home and close on our new home in less than 30 days!"
"Josh has an outstanding work ethic in combination with an outgoing personality. He easily navigates clients through stressful situations. The relationship I was able to build with him was so different than those of others I have had when I bought, sold, and even needed to rent during a transfer. He goes the extra mile and is dedicated to what he does. I do highly recommend Josh."
"It was a pleasure working with Joshua! He is very knowledgeable and professional. The process was very smooth and he kept me in the loop the whole time. 10/10 I'd do it again!"
"I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Joshua — he was very attentive, very knowledgeable, and got us into what we wanted. Not only that, he connected us with his lender who went the extra mile for my husband and I. Thank you Joshua for all your hard work, effort, and support."
"Joshua did an outstanding job of guiding us through the home buying process. He made it so easy for us. I would recommend that if you are looking to buy a residence in the Hampton Roads area, Joshua is the real estate agent for you."
