About Us

Hello, I’m Josh Tyhurst, the Owner and Broker here at McCloud Realty.

I am the owner and broker of both McCloud Realty and Jefferson State Realty, with nearly 10 years of experience as a licensed Realtor. My expertise extends well beyond daily real estate sales. I have completed new parcel maps and navigated various aspects of development, including land use, zoning, and regulations related to property development. This experience allows me to assist my clients with the unique complexities that often arise in real estate transactions.
Over the years, I have brokered multimillion-dollar commercial and hospitality transactions, though my primary focus remains residential real estate sales in McCloud. As both a resident and a generational member of this community, I understand its nuances and the intricacies of the local market. I have guided clients through everything from small vacant land purchases to listing and selling custom homes. 
I maintain a strong network of local tradespeople to support my clients’ needs, along with a wealth of local knowledge to help newcomers feel at home. As a broker, I also mentor the agents under my license, helping them grow in all aspects of real estate. This mentorship not only supports their success but also strengthens my own skills, as teaching is an excellent way to stay sharp on regulatory changes in our industry.
With over 300 closed transactions and more than $50 million in sales volume, I bring the experience and results clients can count on. Year after year, I rank among the top producers in our MLS, not just by numbers, but by delivering exceptional service and outcomes. As the owner of two truly independent, locally owned brokerages, I’m free from corporate agendas. Every dollar you invest by working with us stays in our community, fueling our local economy and strengthening the place we call home.
Before entering real estate, I founded, operated, and branded a small natural spring water company that Linn and I successfully scaled and sold. Growing up as the son of a local building contractor, I learned early how homes are built and what makes them last. After purchasing and renovating several homes and working in construction and maintenance throughout my 20s, I developed a natural ability to spot both a home’s potential and its flaws—and explain them to clients in a way that’s clear and approachable.
I attended local Siskiyou County schools as a youth and have lived in both Humboldt and Marin counties before ultimately returning to set down roots in McCloud.
Outside of real estate, you’ll find me exploring nature as an avid hiker, finding both adventure and peace in our local wilderness. My wife, Linn, who is also my business partner, and I enjoy traveling and visiting our national parks. Our family life revolves around our two dogs, Jada and Ziggy, who often join us on our outdoor adventures.
