HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Passionate and Knowledgeable…read moreWe were referred to Beth and instantly we loved that she was responsive, passionate, knowledgeable and local. We knew we were in the right hands for this purchase. She guided us on each step and clearly communicated what was needed. When we had questions, she answered us day or night. When there was a hiccup, a delay or an issue where we needed to make adjustments, she had the expertise to offer alternative solutions. With her knowledge and her constant communication, we were able to close on the purchase of our home in record time in just mere weeks and in doing so, saved us $1,000's. She always acted in our best interest and reminded us to see the value in our offer. She has made it possible for us to permanently call Downtown Poulsbo home and we couldn't be happier! We would work with her again in a heartbeat!

For the short message, if you are buying a house through Paramount do not use them to renovate,…read moreremodel, or let alone touch anything by the "construction side". We purchased our home over a year ago through Paramount and the purchasing experience was what one would consider reasonable. Beside the part of being preached about how they are all in house and have team that can paint and do flooring...... that's where our nightmare begins. Purchased the home, and they were to install new flooring and give the interior a fresh paint job, nothing over the top. Painted things they should not have, ripped out flooring they should not have, over promised and under delivered. Ripped out the stairs and was told we'll replace them for free..... bathrooms less lip but was happy to use extra materials that were not allocated for the square footage ordered. All of the finishing work probably could have been completed better off by my 2 year old son. Caulking clumps everywhere.... roller marks through the skylights and 40 foot ceilings, they needed to hire a 3rd party to come in and redo all of the flooring work, replaced damaged window ceilings with lesser than builder grade material, mind you we have initially purchased the home with nice hardwood oak throughout..... all getting painted and tarnished throughout this process. This is turning into a list of absolute blunders that in reality are examples of what you do not want your hard earned money to go towards. Let alone one of the most valuable assets you potentially have in your portfolio. Anyone open to a class action lawsuit please feel free to reach out.

They have the best deal in town!…read more Augustus (and team) were phenomenal and an absolute pleasure to work with! They were systematic in their approach, provided me with great insights, communicated promptly, and always had my best interest in mind. As a first time home buyer, I expected the mortgage process to be tough, intimidating, and likely result in a bad deal. But working with Augustus was quite the opposite. We ended up with an amazing rate were ready to close in 3 weeks, and all closing costs and mortgage payments were lower than expected. Made our home buying process 10 times easier than I expected.

I vetted many lenders during my househunting, but Michelle left the biggest impression with her ability to communicate complex points with incredible clarity and she knew exactly how to answer my questions. This is a professional who is at the top in her field. I left almost no stone unturned during the process and Nabil on Michelle's team was very patient and equipped me with all the information I needed to know as a first time buyer. During the latter part of the process, Angie kept me up to date on all the paperwork and made sure I knew what I was signing and kept me abreast of important milestones. With Michelle's team, I was able to close in 20 days without rush appraisals in this crazy competitive market and I got the best rate that no other online or local lender could beat. I will be most happy to work with her again for my mortgage financing needs! Thank you Michelle, Nabil, and Angie!!!

From start to finish, we had an excellent experience working with Ryan Todd of Cornerstone Home…read moreLending. We met Ryan at a First Time Homebuyers class at a Seattle Library. He was an excellent teacher and extremely knowledgeable, but what stood out for us was his extreme patience and eagerness to answer EVERY question that the students had. We decided to schedule an appointment with Ryan to talk more about our specific timeline/options for buying a first home; we were 99% sure that we weren't ready to purchase in the Seattle market, but we still wanted to chat with him about how we could prepare ourselves and what our options were. We were thrilled when Ryan went through our credit, bank statements, and savings and told us that we actually WERE financially ready to buy a home in Seattle - albeit a small starter home. From there, Ryan worked with closely with us and our realtor as we looked at several homes in Seattle. We were so appreciative that he would answer our questions via email, text, or call at literally ANY time of day -- he was so accessible and so patient as we muddled through everything as first time homebuyers in an intense market! Ultimately, we found our perfect little home in South Seattle and Ryan made the loan-side of the process EXTREMELY easy. We had 100% confidence in Ryan, and it was awesome to not have to worry about the loan in a stressful situation -- he took care of everything for us quickly and professionally, and we purchased our home a few weeks ago. Ryan Todd was excellent to work with and I have been recommending him to all my friends who want to purchase in the Seattle area. He's prompt, patient, reliable, and such a nice guy. When we closed on our house, he came by to see it (which, by the way, is not even remotely on his normal route!) and brought us gifts (including champagne!) -- it felt like a friend was visiting us, not just a loan officer. Ryan is the best!

I recently closed on my very first home and I cannot thank Ryan and the PRMI team enough! From the…read morevery beginning stages to closing day, Ryan was incredibly helpful in answering all my first time home-buyer questions and patiently explained things to me in great detail. I felt like Ryan was in my corner throughout the whole process and went to bat for me when it came to looking out for my best interest. He was constantly giving me advice on how to navigate what has easily been the biggest decision I've ever had to make, which made the process a lot less stressful than what I would have anticipated. Ryan was available for quick phone calls and questions every step of the way and made an effort to make sure I understood exactly what the next steps were and what he personally was doing to take care of things on his end. One thing that especially stood out was how prepared Ryan was in making sure all of my necessary paperwork was taken care of in advance, which made the real-estate agents jobs easier in ensuring a quick close and happy sellers - a total win-win for everyone involved :) Not only that, but Ryan was there at closing to congratulate me as I sealed the deal. Huge kudos to Ryan and the entire PRMI team. They do things the right way and I couldn't be feeling more thankful to have worked with such a quality group of folks.

I have been a client of Pickett Property Management for over thirty years as my work has taken me…read morearound the world. Their services have given me tremendous peace of mind - knowing that my property was being taken care of properly. They have made recommendations based on current market conditions that have helped tremendously. They have screened and monitored tenants, promptly notified me when problems have arisen. Never once in all those years have I regretted my decision to let Pickett take care of my rental house. The people there have always understood the challenges I was facing as I moved from country to country. Now as a new retiree I have this great asset as part of my portfolio and my peace of mind continues. Thank you!

We hired Pickett to manage our home for 9 years as a military family that thought we might get to…read moremove back to the area, and we stayed with them about 8 years too long. Our business relationship started ok but got progressively worse until they ultimately cost us about $30 grand in unpaid tenant repairs and bills. To start, Pickett regularly alienated nearly every tenant they placed in our home. One set of tenants hated it enough that they even abandoned the home without saying a word to Pickett mid-lease after transferring all utilities out of their name so that they defaulted back to us as the owners. Pickett refused to recover any costs incurred by us above the security deposit, but they still made sure to collect their full monthly fee from that deposit while it was empty. They even wrote on the statement "Tenant still owes owner $2794.50." The only tenant that stayed in the home for more than 1.5 years caused enough pet damage to cost us about $25,000 out of pocket to repair it. We had to have every carpet replaced and every wall repainted to remove the pet smells. Pickett didn't even discover the damage themselves. A third party that entered the home had to report all of the issues including unauthorized pets that were explicitly forbidden from the home in the lease due to my family's allergies if we were to move back in. Pickett didn't even bother to withhold the full security and pet deposits for this damage, and all they would say is that Washington is very tenant friendly if and when we could even get them to respond. They offered to have the owner, Kevin call us back to discuss our discrepancies, but he never called, and never returned any of our multiple calls when we tried reaching out to him. Those same tenants managed to destroy a fiberglass tub a year prior, and Pickett chalked that up to normal wear and tear and charged us the full $2,500 replacement cost. Additionally, Pickett routinely violated their policy of contacting us before any repairs costing more than $300, and we would only find out when the repair payment was withheld from our next rent payment. They rarely attempted to get multiple bids for large repairs except on the rare occasions they notified us before they authorized the contractor to conduct the repair, and even then we had to insist on multiple bids. For the costs of routine services like roof and gutter cleaning, they didn't bat an eye if the company they contracted with one year charged double what we paid the previous year. When confronted, they would tell us that this new company is so much better than the old company, and we would be so much happier with their services. Pickett has also all but refused to engage with our HOA's concerns in any meaningful way regarding required upkeep for years. As far back as 2022, our HOA has been asking Pickett to address trees growing over the roadway. Pickett charged us for three different landscapers to fix the problem, but Pickett never confirmed with the HOA which trees they were concerned with, so none of the landscapers trimmed the correct trees. It took 15 minutes for us to coordinate with the HOA to identify and trim the offending trees ourselves when we went to the home as we prepared to sell. Pickett could not be bothered. Pickett was an incredibly poor steward of our home and money, and if the majority of our tenants are to be believed, they were terrible to rent from. It does not look like I will be stationed in Kitsap County again, but after all this company put us through in managing the house that we would have moved back into, I don't think I could live in it again without all of the bitter reminders of the time, money, and energy we had to spend on it because if Pickett's incompetence. I would not recommend them in any capacity.
