Joseph Cope

About

Finding the perfect home, investment property, or selling your current place is no small task. You need someone on your side who understands the local market and puts your best interests first. That’s where I can help. My name is Joseph Cope, a trusted realtor, local business owner, and longtime Lake of the Ozarks resident. It’s my job to help you reach your real estate goals.

Growing up, my family moved around the country until following my grandparents’ to their retirement destination, Lake of the Ozarks. I was fortunate to travel abroad in Europe, Australia, and South America, and I always thought my life would be out there in the big world. However, after graduating from Camdenton High School and some university studies, it was clear that my roots were firmly planted at the Lake, my home.

At 19 years old, I started working in the restaurant industry and bought my first home around this time. Shortly thereafter, my family and I opened JJ’s at the Copper Pot, an upscale dining restaurant. After 12 years as chef, office manager, maintenance, and much more, I knew it was time to chase a new passion.

Real estate is now my full attention and drive. To be the most impactful resource possible for my clients, I continually invest in my knowledge about the local market, negotiating techniques, and marketing tools to stand out. I have earned numerous certifications and designations, including ABR (Accredited Buyer's Representative), RSPS (Resort and Second Home Property Specialist), HFR (Home Finance Resource), and Luxury Homes Certification.

Beyond the business side of this industry, it’s the people that make the work so rewarding. I sincerely enjoy getting to know my clients personally so I can deliver exceptional service tailored to their needs. If you’re looking for a real estate expert to guide you through each step of this exciting process, I would be honored to partner with you to find your dream home, a lucrative vacation spot, or sell for top dollar. Reach out today to discover how I can help you get there with confidence and ease.
