Josh Weinberg: A Foundation in Quality Construction and Client Advocacy
Josh Weinberg co-founded Weinberg Choi Residential in 2007, leveraging his background from Pulte Group, a Fortune 300 homebuilder. That early career experience taught him the importance of quality construction and the financial aspects behind every real estate decision. A graduate of Bradley University, Josh holds a bachelor’s degree in Business Marketing. His role as CEO at Weinberg Choi Residential and his active involvement in Keller Williams ONEChicago highlight his leadership skills and vision.
From appearing on HGTV’s House Hunters and House Hunters Renovation to teaching courses at the Chicago Association of Realtors (“Roadmap of a Transaction,” among others), Josh is dedicated to raising the bar for industry standards. He is renowned for his masterful negotiation tactics and his ability to keep the real estate process transparent and client-focused. Outside of work, Josh enjoys coaching his children’s sports teams, playing paddle, and traveling to see his favorite band, Phish.
Tommy Choi: Bridging Community, Leadership, and Real Estate Expertise
Tommy Choi co-founded Weinberg Choi Residential with Josh Weinberg in 2007 after graduating from Bradley University. Over the years, he has held prominent leadership roles, including serving as the 135th President of the Chicago Association of Realtors—the first Korean-American in its history—and as the 2021 Vice President of Association Affairs for the National Association of Realtors. Under Tommy’s guidance, the Weinberg Choi team has sold over 1,000 properties, surpassing $500 million in sales volume.
Known for his devotion to clients and philanthropic spirit, Tommy prioritizes giving back to the Chicago community through numerous programs, including the team’s 365 Days of Giving initiative. A sneaker enthusiast (with a special love for Air Jordans), Tommy also values the emotional impact of homeownership, drawing inspiration from his grandfather’s pride in owning a piece of America. He and his wife, Tesha, live in the Southport Corridor with their three daughters.
