From the very beginning, she listened closely to our concerns and truly understood what we were looking for in a home. Every question we had was answered with patience and clarity, and every step of the process was explained so we always felt confident moving forward. What stood out most was how Jen not only met but exceeded our expectations--she found us a home that checked every box on our list. Her professionalism, dedication, and genuine care for our needs made us feel supported from start to finish. We are beyond grateful for Jen and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She turned what could have been a stressful experience into an exciting and enjoyable one, and we couldn't be happier in our new home!

As an all-cash buyer, I wasn't anticipating very many challenges with our transaction…read more Traditionally, the buyer doesn't select the title company that is used in the deal, and for our deal, the seller picked Rainier. It was a horrible experience, and no one on the team seemed to know what they were doing. Updates via email were non-informative; just the same contact information, agent photos and legal disclaimers. Then the icing on the cake was getting their demand for sensitive identity information and ID photocopies only hours before close. They had me over a barrel and I could either submit the information over unsecured email or risk being in breach of contract. I understand statutory requirements, but nothing explains why this required info was demanded at the 11th hour, or why it wasn't provided with the rest of the documents. My close was at risk, I couldn't sleep, and the sad thing is that it all could have been avoided if Rainier just did their job. Feel free to use these guys if you like drama and surprises. For me, I will write into my future deals not to use Rainier to handle title.

Can you believe it? Someone answered the phone! What a concept in todays business world! I was so happy to actually speak to a person. I explained my situation and asked if they could help.

She explained costs and when they could perform the property surveyance. From phone call to completion was one day! Everyone I talked to were professional and caring. The gentlemen who performed the survey were efficient and professional. All of my questions no matter how "silly" were answered patiently.

I left a less than desirable review here in yelp and immediately Ryan began contacting me through Yelp. Then Ryan started calling me out like where's your email etc?? I have my own stuff going on and don't have time for their business communication management. I simply told him that I did not care to litigate this online and there was no point as we found a better firm that answers a phone, returns emails promptly etc. But clearly their mgmt of communication is a problem. Then later a fellow named Jim started into this. After that yelp removed my review for derogatory nature which was unfortunate. So clearly after asking me on the Yelp app where is your email? Was solved by Jim who subsequently sent my wife ( the manager of one of our properties) by a different name than mine and left it at that stating he could not help us at this time! I completely understand this as I don't want to do business with poisonous people either. But I gave them multiple opportunities to provide service and care but not a priority for them . The bottom line here is that this is a firm that does not have a staffed office, does not respond in real time to viable business requests, and wants to argue over their communication shortcomings with reviewers which I have no respect for. I've tried multiple times by phone to work this out with them even after I judged them as not being worthy to deal with. Do your due diligence before hiring this firm or whoever operates and works at it.

I received written permission by text to mount my TV and pictures using screws, and I patched the holes before moving out. What concerns me most is that photos were taken to document the property's condition before my lease ended, while I was still cleaning and moving out. I finished cleaning and returned the home, including the garage door remotes, on the final day of my lease, yet I was later told the remotes were missing. I was also charged around 400 dollars for carpet cleaning, despite the lease stating the carpets are cleaned between tenants. Combined with the loss of a significant portion of my security deposit 2,695 for walls that were cleaned and patched, these charges did not feel fair, based on the condition in which I returned the home. I'd encourage future renters to document everything, in detail. And, maybe think twice about renting through this company."

I had a wonderful experience working with Dave at Right Fit Real Estate. My boyfriend and I just…read moremoved up to the Seattle area from the Bay area and wanted to immediately start looking for a home. A friend shared Dave's info with us and when we started working with him we couldn't have been happier. It was our first time going through looking for a home, and it felt like a very smooth process. He was very knowledgeable as we looked at houses together, informing us of what looks great, good, questionable, and risky about the different properties. He really worked with us to understand what we were looking for, which gave him a good gut reaction as we looked at house after house. We definitely got the sense that he wanted us to find something that would be the right fit. Highly recommend reaching out to Right Fit Real Estate if you're looking for a realtor, you can feel the personal touch of working with a small local business. Dave was great, and we also had the pleasure of interacting with MacArthur and Kirk, who were just as helpful.

Kirk was very patient and helpful during the house-hunting process; he listened carefully to what…read morewe were looking for and did not try to push other properties on us. He has a strong knowledge of construction, contracting and home appraisals (he has worked as a tax appraiser for a county government), and would always give us an honest and frank assessment of any property we were looking at, even when it meant telling us that he thought something was over-priced or not suitable for us. This was in the very hot market of early 2013 where other buyers were clamoring for the same properties and driving prices up! We eventually were able to buy a house we like, that other buying agents had passed over for their clients. We later learned that the buying agent's commission on the house was a full percentage point lower than normal; Kirk's opinion was not affected by this; he was more than happy to give us his honest opinion about the property, and to help us make the purchase. He was able to negotiate a good deal for us in the end, and the appraisal and purchasing process went very smoothly. We wholeheartedly recommend Kirk and McArthur to anyone trying to purchase a house in the Seattle area!
