Proud Bethesda Resident
Josette Skilling, a Realtor for over 7 years brings a wealth of business knowledge to her career as an Associate Broker with Century 21 Redwood Realty. With a background in IT and a degree in French it might not seem an intuitive choice, but all have a common element: puzzle solving. Josette’s analytical skills and ability to resolve complex issues have allowed her to transition quickly to the complex world of real estate.
In this real estate climate, Josette’s problem solving skills are highly valued…
Josette’s career in IT armed her with the knowledge that customer satisfaction plays a key role in establishing loyal clients. She brings that same caring philosophy to her relationships with her real estate clients.
Since 1996, Josette and her husband John have lived in Bethesda and raised their two daughters, Mary Kate and Jamie (twins born in 2000) and Mathew, “the older brother.” Her husband, John, is a native to the area and works as a consultant to the Department of Education. Community involvement plays an important role in her life and that of her family. Her son and his wife, Jen, live close to the area in Olney where he is employed by the Army and she teaches Kindergarten for the Montgomery County Public Schools.
Josette is a very successful agent who has worked in a wide area of Montgomery County and Washington DC, from condos to single family homes. Her work for local estate and probate attorneys has allowed her to fulfill her passion for renovation by bringing many of these older homes lovingly back to life. ”I’ll take care of the details” is her defining statement as she manages every step of the home sale, from repairs and renovations to staging and managing a successful closing. For a look at her “tell it like it is” advice, you can read through the Your Agent Matters series….
She works with a team of affiliates – title officers, inspectors, stagers, painters, contractors and more – to guide you through every step of the home buying or selling process. Whatever the current market conditions, Josette’s professionalism, coupled with market knowledge, negotiation skills and willingness to go beyond the call of duty, have allowed her to be ranked consistently among the top professionals in the area. She is a member of Top Agent Network which recognizes the top 10% of agents in the Greater Capital area.
This comment captures what she strives for every day:

While her philosophy is not common in our industry, it enables her to work to high standards and create an environment of trust, and frankly it’s the way we’d wish to be treated. Here’s what a few of recent clients have to say about how she helped them…
