This guy is one of them. He claims to specialize in buying your home cash out. This claim may be true if your home is already in a questionable state. However... 1: He'll tell you that he'll follow up...and won't. You call him, he'll say he was "just about to call you". 2: He won't give you any sort of indication as to how much he can offer you. Not even a ballpark clue without commitment to make sure it's not a total lowball. This is a red flag. 3: He's flat out rude. If you question his inability to ballpark, he will get pissy and start to directly insult you. He comes off like a used car salesman. 4: He has NO license in WA's database as far as I can tell, unless it's under another name (Which in of itself is shady). 5: He basically says that every customer is lying to him about the state of the home. "customer" is not something he understands. I strongly suggest, if you get an outreach from this guy, shred it.

I don't know where to begin to shower our praises for Trish Coy and her team (including Sydney and…read moreBrandi). We have bought and sold our house with Trish. After the initial purchase of our house 8 years ago, there was no question as to who we would turn to to manage the sale of the property. Eight years ago, the market was CRAZY with houses lasting only hours and going for outrageous amounts over asking. My husband and I came from So California (thus understanding the market) with the goal of finding a house that weekend. We actually DID find a house that checked all of the boxes. I said- Trish, make this happen. With a carefully crafted offer (not outrageous over asking) she landed the deal. Trish remained in contact over the 8 years with referrals for painters, flooring, and contractors. Now selling in a flat market, again, Trish to the rescue with strategies that landed us EIGHT offers within the first few days. She prepared spreadsheets and walked us through everything. I will not only miss Trish as an agent but feel I moved out of state from a friend. She is attentive, responsive and most importantly very transparent with all aspects of the options with the purchasing as well as sale of a property. We felt supported at all times. I cannot recommend Trish and her dedicated team enough.

We would strongly recommend Matt to our friends and family in the area…read more We met with several realtors before choosing to work with Matthew to sell our home in Bellevue, WA. Matt wasn't the lowest rate, the highest sale volume, nor did he cite a substantially higher sale price. But his recommendations on prep/staging/marketing; his full-service, detailed, and organized approach; and our ability to speak honestly about expectations really stood out. We also appreciated that he recommended ways to highlight the unique touches in the home, rather than (literally) whitewashing everything as some other realtors advised. His approach magnified the things we loved about the home and the care we put into maintaining and improving it. We were out-of-state during the majority of the sale, and relied on Matt and his team very heavily for sale preparation. He made proposals, got quotes, and oversaw work. Matt was upfront about whether he thought each suggested improvement would pay for itself, and actively advised against changes other realtors had suggested that he didn't think were worth it. He was always clear that it was our decision and also happily accommodated us doing some of the work ourselves. Because of his and his team's diligence we were able to hit our target list date, with a house that was shown in its best light. The local market had become more uncertain: markets were softening and a similar house down the street was sitting on the market after weeks, despite a price drop. We adjusted our intended list price (still within his initial range) and our expectations, but Matt remained confident in the home and how it would show. We got an under-asking offer early, and Matt went into overdrive to solicit additional offers. Ultimately we got a very attractive at-list-price offer, the house went pending within a week of listing, and we had a very smooth closing experience. There's always luck involved, but we expect that with most other realtors it would have more work for us to get the house on the market and the sale price would have been lower.

He is extremely knowledgable and took time to walk us through the process and expectation. He was always communicative and very reliable whenever we have questions or need to look at some properties. We originally intend to be more passive while looking at houses and would take time to look through options. Matt was very receptive to that and always ensure we are truly comfortable with any decision we make. In the end, we got a new home pretty quickly also below the list price. The negotiation was handled expertly and any problems during the transactions were handled efficiently. I'd totally recommend Matt to anyone looking to buying a property actively or passively alike.

Not only did she find us an amazing house, but was always on top of everything as we moved through the negotiation and closing process. She is a great communicator - you can always get a hold of her right away, which I value very much in a realtor - especially when moving across the country. Finally, she'll keep your best interests at the center of everything that she does - we ended up having to back out on the first house we put and offer in and she completely understood and backed us during that difficult decision. I would recommend Sandy to anyone looking for a house and we will surely be reaching out to her again in the future if we decide to move.

Know your tenant rights when working with their team!!…read more When I first moved in, I was promised repairs of the apartment that were never done. I since have had to get the city involved and it is finally getting worked on 7 months later. Last week, I was given a 4 minute warning on a Thursday afternoon that the repairman was coming by. I missed that time because I work 9-5. They then said he would return at 5pm the same day. I was not home again and asked to schedule a time with 24 hour notice. I was able to schedule a time on Friday for the following Tuesday from 10-12PM. I was notified on Tuesday morning that the time had changed and that the repairman would show up later. When asked to reschedule because I needed to go to work, they said that they have done their best to provide proper notice and that I would be charged if they were not allowed entry. I had a previous experience with the renting manager that left me feeling unsafe to have anyone enter my apartment without someone present. After calling them and the city about the unfair treatment, they replied that it was a scheduling error on their part. I truly belive that if I didn't know my rights, I would have been charged. I totally understand that schedules change and time frames need to be shifted. However, the tenant and should not be charged when the apartment team has to reschedule the planned visit. This is one of the many examples that their team has been difficult to work with. I would not recommend to rent from them and do not belive that they care about the wellbeing of their renters. Please research your rights as a tenant and make sure that they uphold their responsibilities to you!

Haven't even rented from them yet but I guess we never will - I had a virtual tour for an apartment…read more(because we're moving from out of state) but got ghosted half way through! Basically during the tour when the guy goes down to show the "garage", his connection cuts out. I text to say I don't need to see the garage, let's just talk when you're back upstairs in the unit... But they never respond nor join the video call again. It's really unfortunate because we were really excited by this listing and even considered flying up overnight to view it and apply, but guess that's not possible now. We were hesistant of the bad reviews on Yelp at first but the apartment was very much what we're looking for - probably best to have dodged dealing with this company though. Some other minor flags (small things that wouldn't be much of an issue alone, but makes you feel weird when added all up): - When scheduling, they seem to have offered the same time slot to multiple people, because even though I replied 15mins after they texted me a specific time, they said someone else had taken that time already. - I had pretty good email/text communication from "Tiffany" at first, but it was a different person (I think his name was Jess?) who gave the tour, but neither had mentioned the other person - The photos they put up were of a different unit that faced a different way (actual unit faces a giant tree that blocks the light), which was not mentioned anywhere in the listing (this is a small apartment of like 6 units so not an apartment complex where you'd expect the photos to be different) - There was also a misleading photo of what looked like a pantry (small walk in closet with shelving that had food items on the shelves) but from the tour it was evident that was actually one of the bedroom closets. Again, not a big deal (having it be a closet is actually a plus for me) but seems fishy that they staged it like that. Update: they never acknowledged my message about the tour but instead messaged me the next day to say the unit is no longer available and suggested another rental. Then later the same day they send me an email saying thanks for viewing, here's the link to apply (this one might be automated though)
