If life wasn't already busy enough Joe finds time to participate in a thought leadership role on various blogs, including his own, and in many real estate focused communities on and off-line like Inman News' Reboot and Connect where has served as ambassador, and RE BarCamp Boston where he's been the event organizer. Joe's thoughts and opinions have been quoted in Financial Times, The Boston Globe, Boston Homes, Cambridge Homes, REALTOR Magazine, National Public Radio and Kelly Mitchell's Agent Caffeine.
