Shannon works very hard for her clients; she is knowledgeable and has numerous connections to the local trades and the best of the best when it comes to wells, septic systems, roofers, electricians, plumbers, and general contractors. She's fair and responsive, and she has an excellent reputation with other realtors - this is key in our current market as it can be the difference between winning and losing a bid. I cannot recommend Shannon highly enough - she's amazing!

First Lesson, having a friend that's an agent is a plus, but if you call her to say you've been…read more"thinking" about downsizing from a house to a condo, just know she will act and suddenly your life will shift in great and wonderful ways. This is what happened when I called Kate Williams with Rose City Realty. The idea of moving to a condo had been on my mind for a while, I'd even looked enough on my own to have a few buildings in mind, but I never thought this transition could happen so spontaneously. Second lesson, never doubt using a friend as an agent for your life's most important transactions. I couldn't be more impressed with the results. Kate delivered a level of service that truly exceeded my expectations, making the entire process fast, smooth and efficient. From our first phone call, Kate demonstrated a deep understanding of the local market trends and helped me set up a pricing strategy for the purchase of my condo as well as selling my home. Her knowledge of the area and negotiation skills drove the entire buying process with ease, allowing for quick closing. She even connected me with movers and helped handle details while I was out of the country, allowing me to return to my new condo. Her advice on staging and preparing my house for sale was invaluable and undoubtedly contributed to the quick sale. She had the contacts to help with all the improvements needed and staging to make the house ready for marketing. What impressed me most about Kate and her brother Cody was their responsiveness and availability. This is not just because I'm a friend, it's how they do business. They were always reachable, promptly addressing any questions or concerns I had, which made me feel supported and confident in their expertise and a true life saver with my business work schedule that doesn't allow much time for the added workload of buying/selling property. Thanks to Kate and Cody's hard work and dedication, I was able to secure a fantastic deal on my dream condo and sell my house within days of listing it over the asking price. I highly recommend Kate Williams and Rose City Realty to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, proactive, and results-driven real estate agent. If I ever need real estate services in the future, Kate Williams will be my first choice without hesitation.

Kate is awesome! I will use her for all my real estate needs. She helped us in every step of our…read morejourney. Kate and her team went above and beyond. She had experts in her rolodex for everything!! Her team helped manage contractors to freshen our house up to list, super professional photos, drone shots, and the listing itself was top notch. Communicated every step of the way, and house sold in two days for above list price! Kate even found my next house through her network, a rental that was not even listed yet and personally introduced me to my 'new' landlord, all for no additional fees. True professional in every sense of the word.

Our experience with Donna, from start to finish, could not have been more pleasant. She had handled…read morethe sale of our neighbor's house a few years earlier with a glowing review by the seller. She was our first choice based on his experience. Donna started working with us over a year prior to the listing date as we were building a house elsewhere and experienced one delay after another. Her recommendations to prepare our house for the market during the initial consultation were specific and spot on. She gave us excellent referrals to help us go through the process as efficiently as possible. Donna was very professional and accommodating during the construction period of our new home. She kept us advised of optimum periods to list the house but never pressured us to list earlier than when we were ready, which was very much appreciated. The photographer and stager she used were excellent! Her marketing brought in 11 offers (all at full list price or better) after only 2.5 days of market time. She and her support team also facilitated an escrow completion in 30 days. She is a professional who knows her business with a solid team behind her to make sure all bases are covered.

We did not hear back on our cash offer until the day after it expired. That next day, she and the seller's realtor were trying to convince us to accept a counter-offer they were attempting to write up with a no inspection clause on the house. Our offer was already null and void at this point. We were aggravated by her lack of communication during what should have been the negotiation period to close our $30,000 above asking price, cash offer with free rent for 30 days. She was ineffective and unapologetic for her lack of skill.

We…read morewere shopping during the holidays when the pickins are slim, and Laura found several awesome options in our limited price range. She knows Vancouver better than a lot of natives, so you're getting real expert advice, beyond the typical agent's knowledge. If you're also short on time, I recommend OnPoint CU for home loans, now offering an appraisal waiver in some cases, which helps on all sides. Best agent we've encountered yet, give Laura a call!
