I would highly recommend Shane Xiang from Flyhomes. Being a 1st time home buyer is not easy in a…read morehyper competitive real estate market like Seattle where things move very fast, and multiple offers come in before the offer review date. Shane always made himself available to tour houses when they were being listed. This gave us a chance to tour houses early giving us time to think and decide on next steps. Shane provided comprehensive review during the tours, covering quality, builder, materials used, appliances, potential upgrades/fixes, etc. that was very helpful while comparing different houses. The research team did a good job compiling the background details of the house and comp analysis. During the offer stage, Shane helped coming up with a strategy, but never put a lot of pressure, if we were not comfortable. He was patient during the entire process and always answered questions as soon as possible. He was always on top during the negotiations in terms of getting updates from listing agents which helped fine tune our offers. Even though it took a few attempts, Shane was always supportive and was open to discussing what could we do better next time. I learnt a lot during this process. Our winning offer was a Flyhomes cash offer, which was not the highest offer but the fast and smooth closing offered by the Flyhomes team secured the win for us. It's definitely worth a shot in this market. I would also like to thank Nicholas Anderson from Flyhomes Mortgage, who was very patient in running calculations multiple times before we made offers and helping with hypothetical scenarios. Having all the data before making offers helped us make informed decisions. That being said, there is always room for improvement. The app UI can improve a bit (in terms of how quickly new house listings notifications are sent out) and sync between multiple teams within Flyhomes can improve further. To conclude, I would highly recommend Flyhomes to 1st time home buyers in competitive real estate markets for a one stop shop solution.

Update base on the business reply : As their customer since…read moreFebruary, I can say their listing agent, selling agent , lender who got in contact with us are all very not helpful at all, not only they are blur on delivering messages and information, but also are just has no idea what they are doing at all, answering the wrong questions, not clear on the contract, trying to get away with problems- as they take your complains for nothings and all they can do to put this poor guy Jared out to say" oh sorry we can't really do anything " and that's all, sorry we take your money but can't do anything! Figure something out ! Their California agent Christina Felix is very unprofessional and only thing she did was stressing out the costumer , when we sign the contract she was very pushy and didn't explain clear enough. We agreed the seller stay in the property with 3 week rent back, but agent told them it's free without being clear to us , which on the contract shows as blank , which does not mean $0- and she later claims something on the contract says " licensed fee $0" means rent back free. They are using undirected term to trick people who doesn't understand the actual meanings. After we complain to the Flyhomes , they said they can't cover our loss, and not responsible for the mistake, and they start asking us if we want to back out the offer ( that way they can take our earnest money and buy the house , resale it, then make profit out of it ) we are beyond annoyed and very frustrated because we are in the middle of buying this house , we love the property, but Flyhome is just very unprofessional, and has no idea what they are doing, miscommunication with lender ,buyer , seller , ..etc . I highly suggest people who is thinking use them, think twice ! By the way , their mortgage interest rate is completely rip off, DO NOT Use them

Me and my wife purchased new home in Bellevue. We knew that…read morewe have very large scope of wotk such as kitchen remodeling, 3 bathrooms remodeling, primary bathroom remodeling, flooring, painting etc... We call few high rated local companies to come and give us an estimate. After we met with Liran from level up construction we knew we want to work with him. During the first walk through in the house We felt the experience and knowledge and amount of care for details for our first house. The company representative was always there for us during the project. For any question we had at any time! There are things we got with level up, That's we understand the value and the rare high performance customers service. Everything came up exactly as we wanted. In some areas of the house, it's even better than what we pictured. Liran was there for us for every question and Showed up with a lot of ideas. It was very valuable for us to use a company that comes with a lot of creative ideas and knowledge. How to get things done properly. Everything was done, permitted and inspected by the city of Bellevue. We want to say thank you very much for everything you have done for us. And for our family We enjoyed the house and the remodeling every single day We are happy to highly recommend this company. For any remodeling or large scope of work! The price was fair and we will use them again in future projects.

My wife Karen and I had wanted to remodel our kitchen for some time. I have completed extensive…read moreremodelling of several homes in the past including work on our current home and wanted to remodel our kitchen as well. Karen convinced me that I was too old (70) and it would take too long to complete. Enter Liran and LevelUp Construction. They had great reviews, many photos/videos of completed work as well as a very good bid price. My experience has taught me that one of the keys to a good contractor is their ability to find and keep good subcontractors. Almost all of the subcontractors that worked on our remodel were top-notch. In any remodel, issues arise that complicate the work, especially those that involve more than one trade. We had several significant ones. We worked with Liran to insure that good decisions were made to resolve them including allowing me to work on the remodel to insure that the project wasn't unduly delayed. It is very important to Liran to make sure that his clients are happy. For example, we liked the LVT installation in our kitchen so much that we decided we wanted to replace carpet in a 'hub' area. Liran included the installation at no cost to us.

I am not the type of person to leave negative reviews, but I want anyone purchasing a home built by…read moreAmerican Classic Homes to know what I have been through. These are things that should be highlighted during the walk through process. When I moved in, I could clearly tell I had an irrigation system because they walked me over to the irrigation system unit inside the garage. However, no one told me that there were no zones in the main part of the back yard. Really? Why plant grass back there? Someone should have highlighted that. All of the other new construction units beside me do not have zones in the backyard as well (just the front). In addition to this and possibly the worst part/ surprise was that no one informed me to check the settings on the irrigation system unit. Since it was new construction and they had just laid sod, they had those sprinklers set to go off for 2 hours every morning prior to my waking. I had NO idea at all. I found out after I had personally used 44,000 gallons of water and owed $800.00 for the month. CRAZY! When I called ACH and JWB (the contracting company), no one was able to assist to either matter and I was told I had to take care of it on my own. Horrible customer service. When I asked to speak to someone higher, I was told he was too busy and that I could not speak with him by a lady named Jessica. Come to find out, American Classic Homes is notorious for doing this with new construction. I really hope if you are buying from ACH that this will help you. I wish I had this advice.

We moved into our house about a month ago. My previous review still stands. ACH (especially…read moreLindsey, our building rep) were incredibly professional, were responsive, and took our concerns seriously. When some things didn't go as planned, they took ownership of the issue even if it wasn't their "fault" and made sure we were happy. That meant a lot to us. Our final walkthrough with Joey and our super Geoff uncovered only one 'blue tape' issue (in contrast to our previous home that had a couple dozen). We completely agree with the below poster in saying that ACH construction is significantly better quality when compared to other builders in the area. And the lack of drama when it came to expectations and timelines. Oh, and we LOVE our new place!

It has been 5 months since we withdrew our offer to buy a MainVue home. We loved the home, the…read morelocation; it was perfect. The MainVue sales consultant was very helpful and we enjoyed working with her. The model was lovely, a few small quality issues but nothing big, and overall on a par with other good quality track home builders. It had an "outdoor room" which we fell in love with. We have purchased many homes, one from a track home builder, so we felt like we knew the ropes. We have also designed our own home and had it built by a custom builder, so we understood that process as well. We were not expecting a fully custom home. Our offer was a "pre-sale" -- build our selected model, on our selected lot. It had not been permitted yet and the only thing that had been pre-selected was the facade. We had a choice of brick or rock on the facade and we chose brick. MainVue prides itself on their interior design and color schemes, as well as "luxury" inclusions. The problems came when we wanted upgrades and changes. These are changes/upgrades Main Vue would not do: -- hardwood floors instead "timber look" vinyl -- wooden shelves and rods in closets instead of open wire -- under counter drawers instead of cupboards in kitchen -- install under cabinet lighting in kitchen (they would pre-wire only) -- 8 foot doors rather than standard -- grab bars in the showers and for the tub -- foot rest in shower -- install brick on the outdoor fireplace instead of shiny tile or cement board -- You cannot make any selections or changes as far as hardware, fixtures and lighting (disappointing, but not a deal breaker for us) We worked with MainVue for about 2 months before we withdrew our offer. We were told that we couldn't make changes like adding a foot rest in the shower because the designer did not intend for there to be a footrest. Seriously. The final straw was when they would not put brick on the outdoor fireplace, even though it was the same brick they were putting on the facade, and even though their models had brick outdoor fireplaces. As it turns out, some things you see in their models are not done anymore. When we pursued why brick could not be used, it finally boiled down to the simple fact that the builder did not want to do it. That message sunk in to us and we decided to withdraw. Of course, MainVue can build any kind of home they want, and they are very successful, but for us, when there was zero flexibility on simple requests, that was the deal breaker. It made us wonder how MainVue would handle warranty issues, and we didn't want to find out.

HiLine Homes does not honor its own contract. Something we are learning the hard way, unfortunately. The contract that we signed with HiLine Homes offers a 190-day build guarantee in their contract with $100 per day to a max $2,000 payable to the homeowner for every day over the 190 days. It took them 10 months to build our 500 sq ft home. We have tried many, many times since the project has been completed (almost four months now) to find out when we might receive this compensation - and we have yet to get an answer... or any information at all, honestly. Communication was also really poor during our build, and God forbid you ask a question about this contract language - they might issue a stop work order (which they did) without any communication back to the homebuilder. We worked with HiLine Homes in good faith during the 10-month build and we are asking that they honor their own contract language!
