The foregoing statement is an abject falsity. Mr. Hulen epitomizes what a respectable brokerage should NOT be. The North Proctor franchise is a blight to the otherwise good name of Better Properties. I won't dispense with the details fueling the impetus of this review now, but I'd be glad to share the events substantiating my claim upon request. I've saved the botched paperwork & drafted a timeline chronicling the inane replies, appalling incompetence & brazen lack of care displayed by Mr. Hulen... & YES, I have hard evidence outlining the blunders warranting Mr. Hulen's prompt, decisive attention. . I hope the foregoing serves as a caveat for prospective clients of this brokerage, lest they risk enduring the same fiasco as me. I nearly lost my $2,000 earnest money & the reason I didn't lose it was by ZERO effort of Better Properties. I WAS ON MY OWN & ultimately I was fortunate enough to get the debacle under control with careful strategizing, help of friends in the know & a few prayers!

I don't even know where to begin writing this review. Anne is beyond amazing. She is truly an…read moreexceptional realtor. We sought out to find a realtor to list our first home for sale. My husband was being relocated, so technically we were supposed to use one of the company's appointed real estate agents, but I stumbled upon Anne's website through a mutual friend who had used her to sell their home in Tacoma and I immediately liked her online persona. I then found out from my neighbors that Anne had sold the house next door to us, as well as the one directly behind us (in about a week!). I knew immediately that we needed to hire Anne. So we jumped through a few hoops with our relocation company to allow us to use a different realtor. Now that our house has officially sold, I can say that this was truly the best decision we could have made. In fact the realtors that our company had selected for us had told us they were going to list our home for roughly 50-75K less than what Anne suggested listing it at. Now that it has closed, had we gone with the other realtors we would have left at least 50K on the table. That is a lot of extra money we made thanks in large part to Anne! She is so knowledgeable about the University Place market, she knew things about our house and location that even we didn't know. She went above and beyond our wildest expectations as a realtor. She answered our questions (many many questions!!) via text and email almost immediately... and this is over the course of three months from listing to final close! After we had already moved she went to our house before showings to turn on lights, heat it up and be there to greet the other real estate agents. She was even on hand to schedule our movers when the time came for us to finally move into our new home in Texas. I haven't even touched on the beautiful youtube video she made for our house which generated close to 2,000 views!! The online marketing she did to target specific buyers that would be a good fit for our house, as well as her in person demeanor. She is truly a remarkable person and realtor. My only complaint is that she doesn't live in Texas and therefore isn't able to help us buy our next house! THANK YOU ANNE! You set the bar really high! :)

I would highly recommend Anne to anyone buying or selling in the Tacoma area.

Fast forward to the third week of February 2025, everything aligned in my world and I contacted Amanda to do what she told me she would do the first time she stood in my kitchen three years ago, "if you give me the opportunity, I will sell your house." Late February, She walked in dressed in a sheek Amanda Shepherd outfit, oooo'd at the updates that I had made in the house, took notes, and once again looked me dead in my eyes and said, "if you trust me, I will get you the results you want and I will sell your house." I felt it in my soul! Within 48hrs Amanda had put together a checklist of finishing touches and a plan of action to sell my house. This realtor gem of the PNW had an over asking offer in hand in the first 24hours of being on market and went under contract on day five, and we closed in less than 30days. What a dream come true and what a complete blessing and alignment of all things good in the world! It only took 3years, 3 realtors, and the 3rd time of listing to have this be the "3rd times a charm". If you have the opportunity to have Amanda Shepherd as your realtor, I couldn't recommend her more! She went above and beyond in LITERALLY every step of the process including buttoning up loose ends. There aren't enough good things I can say about Amanda, but if you're looking for results and looking for a boss babe realtor that will spare no expense and go above and beyond what you could ever imagine, this is your girl! Thank you Amanda! Crying happy tears!

Two names to remember: MICHAEL ROBINSON and COREY MATNEY…read more Michael is the owner of this branch, and Corey an agent. Together these two guys are our "Aces in our Pocket!" Michael's expertise is amazing and undeniable! He can read and process real estate unlike anybody I've met. If you're buying, he can give you a really accurate feel for true value - and house quality. -- And he'll be totally honest with you! (Not a lot of schmoozing here!) When selling --- WOW! This is the guy for you! Again - he will be honest with you. He will tell you straight-up what he thinks your house will go for ... quickly. We have met with many other agents ... and many of them give us numbers that are "fluffy" to say the least. (If not overpriced - and I say this humbly, because as we sold our house, we had to deal with the reality of the "agents'" idea of value - often too high ... and the reality of what a buyer would pay) Michael will be up front - and may even sound a bit lower asking than other agents would encourage. But - TRUST ME - he knows what it takes to sell... without being on the market for several months (or longer!). Yet, he is still capable of hearing you out --- and totally worked with us on getting the most (the fastest) out of our home. And let's not even talk about contacts... Michael has been around Tacoma for a long time ... and knows EVERYBODY! Corey Matney worked with us (in tandem with Michael) -- he was our main buying agent. He was so on top of it with looking for houses. He wasn't stalker-ish (and don't even pretend you don't know what I'm talking about!... some agents are just flat-out creepy and annoying!). He understood what we were looking for - price, size, and motivation. This Windermere office has my highest respect -- and we've worked with A LOT of different agents/companies/offices! I - as a rule - have little time or respect for real estate agents (I know ... that's pretty rude of me), and I don't give out respect freely without it being earned -- so, the least I can do it throw up a YELP review! Give them a call -- and hear them out!
