About Josh Ongley
Prior to becoming a land specialist, Josh worked as a forester for his family-owned timber and logging company, overseeing the harvest operations and providing guidance to landowners about proper management techniques for timber and wildlife. In 2007, he opened Forever Green Forestry, LLC as a consulting firm designed to assist clients manage their timberland as a sustainable, long term investment.
Although Josh thoroughly enjoyed his career as a forester, he felt like he had more to offer with his passion for all things LAND. In late 2019, Whitetail Properties Real Estate offered Josh an exclusive territory to represent them in Northwest PA selling hunting, timber, recreational properties and country homes. Josh is now a dedicated full time Realtor who is passionate about helping both buyers and sellers of land in PA.
Josh has passion for land, hunting and wildlife management but what motivates him is providing his clients with the ultimate land buying or selling experience! Personally, Josh has been blessed with an amazing wife and two beautiful daughters who support his obsession with the great outdoors.
