She went above and beyond to make sure we had all of our questions answered and quick to respond to us. If we had a question regarding a specific part of a property she would work to find an answer right away. Additionally, she has contacts who she offered to recommend for our potential needs. At first before we met Maggie, I was fairly nervous since this was our first time buying our home however she made this process less stressful. She was able to quickly communicate with our lender when we were interested in putting in an offer for a home. Luckily, we were able to secure a great deal with her negotiation skills. We are so thankful for all that she has done in helping us find our new home. Not only is she very good in this line of work but she is a genuinely kind person. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a home. Thank you so much Maggie!

Her attention to detail and knowledge is outstanding. She goes above and beyond and is highly respected by her peers and other vendors. Even with my VA loan which has it's own special set of hoops to jump through, she never skipped a beat. If she doesn't have the answer she will get it for you without hesitation. She will help you stage your home and advise you on do's and don't in prepping your home to optimize appeal for maximizing the sale of your home. She is thoughtful, kind, honest and forthcoming. When buying a home during the search she consistently mentioned various things to keep in mind or consider. It's a huge deal buying and selling a home. I recommend her in the highest regards. I cannot say enough to accurately capture how happy I have been with Carrie as my agent and now friend. I have referred others to her without question. Nothing but love here!!!

Carrie is easily the best realtor I've ever worked with!…read more We were moving up to Seattle from Texas and were referred to her by Amazon as someone who could help with our home search. We had a whole 3 days in Seattle to find a neighborhood and house we wanted and get everything signed before we had to head back to Dallas so we needed to get our weekend planned out before we got there. We talked over our criteria with Carrie, and she sent us a ton of recommended houses, plus I looked up a ton online as well. Carrie personally went and visited EVERY SINGLE HOUSE we were interested in and sent us reviews on them. It was amazing and incredibly helpful! There were tons of houses that looked good online but in person were clearly not for us so it was so great to have her go weed out the definite no's so we didn't have to waste our time doing it! We found our dream house, and Carrie was great the whole time closing, etc, worked with the bank, other realtor, and stayed really on top of things. She's absolutely fantastic and I'd recommend her to everyone!

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.

Shes used her extensive knowledge and career experience to ensure that we get things right and anticipate issues ahead of time.

We sold during the summer, and though we had uncertainties due to timing and shifting market trends, she was there to guide, soothe, and work on solutions for us. Home selling can be stressful but if there was anything we can be sure about, it was that she was 100% our advocate - she had our best interests in mind - and we could see it in how she communicated, educated and negotiated with us I would especially recommend Karishma if you are new to selling and are open to learning, want to work with people that listen, understand and want to work together to achieve the same goals.

SELLERS - BEWARE - DO NOT HIRE CORRINE SMITH (TO LIST YOUR HOUSE), Keller Williams, Bothell, WA…read more If there was a "zero" star rating, I would have chosen that for Corrine Smith!! I DO NOT recommend her at all! In March 2021, she was recommended by some Realtor in Oro Valley, AZ, to list our house in Snohomish WA. At first, she was nice, and helped spread new bark onto the front and back yards of our house (we paid for the bark). And that was it!! Our house went live (and on the market) March 16, 2021. On March 18, we had a bidding war between three interested buyers. March 19, the buyer who won the bidding war, had signed a contract to buy our house in Snohomish, WA. As soon as the new buyer signed his contract, Corrine betrayed us, backed stabbed us and DID NOT bat for us at a "crucial time" where we needed her support against the buyer of our house. (By this point, we already signed a contract with Corrine). How did she back stab us? On March 25, the man who won the bidding war, offered us a "One-month Rent Back FOR FREE! What does this mean? It meant, we had 30 extra days (from the new buyer's closing date of April 20, 2021) for us to pack out household items, hire a moving company, and move to our new destination. However, just 10 days before his closing date (April 20), the buyer changed his mind about his offer and RENEGED it!!! Not only did he flake out of the 30-day Rent Back offer he slapped us with a ridiculous invoice that stated: "You will become renters of my property, after closing (April 20); therefore, you are to pay me $2,500 for SIX days rent (April 21 to April 26). We then get a call from Corrine and dropped that bomb on us, with zero empathy or remorse about his change of mind. As I began to stand up for our rights, Corrine's whole demeanor and character got ugly!! She stood up for the new buyer, who already had an agent of his own, as opposed to fighting for us reminding the new buyer that he offered rent back for free initially!! Her attitude was "too bad, and I am not going to bat for you on our behalf." Bottom line, she just wanted the easy way out, and all she was interested in is getting her commission, for which she did absolutely nothing for us. She turned on us, she kept siding with the new buyer, and placating to all his "whims and desires." The next day, my husband and I went to talk with her Broker (in charge of Corrine), Keller Williams, Bothell, WA. We stated our facts, reported our extremely dissatisfied experience with Corrine, and what was promised to us, etc. Her Manager was furious about her character, and extremely disappointed upon hearing how she did not support us when we needed her help! So, he made her pay that ridiculous 6-day rent bill on our behalf (2,500) that the new buyer presented us. Her manager agreed that her actions and mannerisms were wrong, and how unprofessional she handled the Rent-Free agreement, though verbally, it was wrong and such a verbal agreement like that would hold up in court! Both my husband and I wholeheartedly regret ever hiring Corrine Smith. She was useless! She was just interested in chasing money, that is all! She was not genuine, she was not there for us, she would not bat for us and fight for what is right on our behalf! Last, she will size you up! If she sees a weakness in you, she will take capitalize on it! Big Time! In our case, Corrine saw the stress we were under - selling our house, buying a new one out of State, packing and preparing for a long-distance move, in one week!
