It's hard to know how to find people who will do right by you. Some of these reviews have twenty perfect five stars without even a four star. Ok... The Holbrooks helped us find our farm. They showed all the properties I was interested in, but the biggest thing was they lacked initiative. They volunteered no information on a suitable place to raise chickens and geese. There are hawks in the area we knew nothing about. The heavy rains make replacing pasture boards a must every season. The long drive into town is tiresome. Maintenance on the farm is very hard work, so many things need to be done. The houses here range from million dollar properties to some really run down ones. We knew none of this because they didn't bother getting to know us or asking what our goals were. They just showed houses. This is where most realtors are at, right in the middle. Not saying the Holbrooks were a fail, this farm is beautiful and my skills in working around all the things that keep a ten acre farm running have really improved. They also could have negotiated on our behalf, we got stuck with really bad carpet. Coming home and seeing my horses grazing on acres of green pasture with a view of Rainier, makes up for it. No tract housing development is even close to what we have. Still..I'm writing an honest review and if they had volunteered more information their score would be higher. I'd recommend them for a farm family, but coming from an executive life to a farm was very difficult for my spouse. Ok, he's not a farmer, but I spent many happy summers at my grandparents farm, so it was easier. In hindsight, I should have contacted someone more familiar with executive relo's. This is a fair score for our situation, and my spouses view. I would be willing to recommend them for people in other situations.

Avoid doing business with Jody Kyes. Jody Kyes represented herself, the seller, while selling a…read morehome that she and her husband owned and rented out. My husband and I purchased the house and she left a huge mess full of garbage in the garage that she refuses to clean up. Broken dry wall, a busted basket ball hoop, old carpet padding, a broken entertainment center, etc. We have already taken a full truck load to the dump, and there is at least three or four more that need to go. Not to mention the house has RATS in the attic, which we are now paying over $1,200 to get rid of. (It is possible she did not know about the rats, but seems unlikely.) We loved this house from the beginning, and did not even try to bargain on the price; we offered and paid the listing price. It is very disappointing that a "professional" conducts business is such a despicable manner.

I am from California and was in Centralia, Washington, to sell my mother's house. As I have little…read morefamiliarity with the area, I was fortunate enough to receive a recommendation for Juanita as a excellent realtor. She responded very quickly to my initial call, met with me and visited the property immediately, and quickly had the property listed. She is very knowledgeable, responsive, and energetic. She helped set an appropriate price for the property, located prospective buyers, and was very helpful in negotiating with those buyers. The property was sold in a short time at a price agreeable to both sides. In addition to the realtor function, Juanita was invaluable in recommending the best local service providers required to prepare the property for sale, managing some of their activities once I had to return to California, and providing assistance with issues outside of the normal responsibilities of a realtor .

They were obviously just lookie-loos! When I told her that my realtor made the appointment for almost an hour prior to her arrival, she called her a liar. Pina also just turned the "buyers" loose in my home. There's no way she could keep an eye on all those people. I met one of them (by himself!) in my garage as I was leaving. I have no idea where the rest of them were. I had no idea who she was until I looked at her card after they all left. Her card does not say anything but her name & phone number; no company name! Had I known that's who she was I'd never have let her in - I've heard nothing but bad things from friends that have sold their homes. She goes in without calling, using her code, etc etc. I wish there was a ZERO stars.
