Marc doubles as a broker and attorney which is a huge plus (do not underestimate the value of having an attorney on the team). Claire does the showings and agent contacts.

Professionalism plus integrity is what you get when working with Marc…read more You'll have a strategic thinker who is experienced in real estate transactions who is watching out for your interest while offering his advice and listening, letting you take the lead. I worked with Marc to complete an off market transaction. From the first time we talked to each other, for my inquiry of how an off market sale works to when attorneys like him get involved, Marc was communicative, informative, patient, and to the point. He spent time talking and explaining things to me even when there may not be a deal. When I called again after making some progress, he remembered our previous conversation and we were able to quickly confirm next steps. He also spent substantial time conducting comp analysis with me, which I wasn't really expecting, provided referrals for services as needed, and walked me through the contract point by point per my questions. It was simply superb service. Worth every penny. I would also say that he was really watching out for our interest. In cases where we might be able to negotiate, he worked to point those out and discussed potential strategies with us. On top of that, when we ended up making decisions he may not have made himself, he quickly accepted our perspective without making a big deal of it. In the end, we successfully completed the transaction without fuss. And I would recommend Marc for anyone who has needs for his type of service. I cannot say enough good things about him.

If you want the process of buying a home to be a happy experience, don't go to this company. I had…read morethe worst experience with them. I had a great agent but the owner of this company was really disappointing. We had issues with the property we were purchasing as the seller wanted to breach the contract at the part where we were already working on the closing disclosure. We never got any support from the company. We had to work it out ourselves (me, my husband and my agent), by hiring a lawyer. He only had one task to do towards the end which was to arrange for the walk through and he messed up because he did not read the email right ( wonder if he even really took time to read it and understand) One that I was copied and where everything was clear that the walk through is to be done today, the 27th but he arranged it for the 28th which was already the moving date. When I spoke to him for messing up, he didn't really show any care to the mess he made. Save yourself from hassle and disappointment, find another company. If only I could have the review as a 0 I would.

Unfortunately, my wife and I had a bad experience with Johnine, and I can't recommend this place…read more We were FTHB in WS. Our search was fast (under contract 2 weeks after we got in contact with Johnine, only had 2 visits with Johnine, and 4 with Tonya as we did a lot of open-houses on our own). We were on top of everything and had an excellent lender (Ryan Maxwell from Homestreet) allowing us to close in 3 weeks. We reached out to this agency after having a mediocre experience with Redfin. Given their stellar rating, we were expecting to be more lucky with Johnine and her team. After an initial meeting with Johnine, we had some trial visits with Tonya over one evening, and it was excellent. Tonya was scouting the different homes, taking the time to discuss with us, and sounded very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed our experience and were looking forward to keep working with her. After these visits, we only got to interact with Johnine. To say that Johnine lacked professionalism or represents too many people is an understatement. We only had 2 visits scheduled with her, and she had been significantly late for both (15-30 minutes), even though she is the one that set the time. Both time was because she was touring homes with another customer on the other side of Seattle and couldn't make it on time for our visits. This was mildly annoying, but the second property was one we wanted to put an offer on, so we stayed put. Then, things turned chaotic. As we signified interest in putting an offer on that second property, it was a nightmare to schedule a time to meet with Johnine. The offer deadline was on a Monday, but Johnine could only meet us on the Sunday before. She had to reschedule that meeting 3 times, even though she was the one setting the time every single time. During that meeting, Johnine did not remember the offer Deadline correctly and thought it was on Tuesday. If I didn't bring it up, Johnine was only planning to work on drafting the offer the following day and might have missed the offer. After our offer was accepted, communication became really abysmal. As a FTHB, I do not expect to be baby-sitted, but I was hopping that Johnine would at least detail us what to expect and when. However, she took the fact that we were on top of things as an excuse to not do anything than the bare minimum. This caused unnecessary stress on our end as we were trying to figure out stuff completely on our own. All we had from Johnine for the following 3 weeks was a brief "next step" email with poorly worded shallow details on what to expect, and barely understandable instructions regarding utilities. That's it. Even at open-houses, listing agents distribute printed PDF with more useful information than what Johnine provided us. At no point did Johnine mention anything regarding a final walkthrough that we had to schedule ourselves and that we didn't even do with her. The ice on the cake was closing day, where we had literally no idea what to expect the day of. Johnine was out of town and couldn't get the key for us, so Tonya was scheduled to do it for us and meet with us the following day. But the day of, Tonya informed us BY EMAIL that she couldn't make it, and that the seller's agent left our home key under a rock in the garden for us to pick up anytime. Neither Johnine nor Tonya tried to arrange for another agent/staff to pick up the key for us to make sure that we were able to enter our property. They did not even bother calling us to check what was the best option for us or apologize for the inconvenience. I had to interrupt my work day in panic to go figure out what rock was the correct one and pick up the key. Johnine received a $27,000 commission out of that purchase where I felt she did not represent us better than a Redfin agent and put no effort to represent us at any step of the process. Beware.

I've never met Robert and I'm sure he's a nice guy but my review is for a broker on his team,…read moreMichael Pederson. As a background, my uncle received an email from Michael wanting to business with us in the area. Mind you my uncle lives in another state so I was just the middleman. We are in the market for a multi family unit and I had scheduled a time to meet Michael. The evening before our appointment, I noticed that the property was listed as a single family home so I texted him to confirm. He stated that there is vacancy on one part and a tenant in the lower. That's nice, but we wanted a multi family home? Oh, we can check when we get there, he says. Ideally I knew I was wasting my time because in order to have a tenant on the property of a single family home, you need to also reside in the property which was not our plan; but I confirmed anyways to meet with him the following day just to confirm if the home had 1 or 2 meters (it had 1). The meeting was for 3pm and I chose to leave work early to meet with him as arrived early, but at 2:40 he texts me and says he "ran into some Bellevue traffic and GPS puts me there at 3:15." The property is in federal way... If you live or work in the Seattle/Bellevue area, you should know that traffic is bad anywhere you go so for you to be 15 minutes late means you planned poorly. I work in Redmond and planned my day so I wasn't wasting his time and still managed to get there on time. I saw what I needed to see and decide to leave the driveway since it was pointless. As frustrated as I am, he calls me at 3:25 asking me if I had left already. (Of course I did.) I let him know that I felt disrespected that I planned for a time, and as a client, if I can show up early, at minimum he should show me the respect of being on time. Then he has the audacity to boast and say "I have a team of 10 realtors I work with so you can go find another realtor" and hangs up! Really?! Not an apology. This was very unprofessional and the fact that he got mad at me for wasting my time is what forced me to write this review. I feel sorry for the people that work with Michael and I hope that he doesn't treat all of his potential clients this way but I need to make sure other people know about his attitude, lack of knowledge, and work ethics.

Big thanks to Rob and his team (Tara and Dana) for managing the refinance of our home mortgage…read more Rob reached out to me and recommended several refinance options, including a "zero cost" option - which we selected.
