We would strongly recommend Matt to our friends and family in the area…read more We met with several realtors before choosing to work with Matthew to sell our home in Bellevue, WA. Matt wasn't the lowest rate, the highest sale volume, nor did he cite a substantially higher sale price. But his recommendations on prep/staging/marketing; his full-service, detailed, and organized approach; and our ability to speak honestly about expectations really stood out. We also appreciated that he recommended ways to highlight the unique touches in the home, rather than (literally) whitewashing everything as some other realtors advised. His approach magnified the things we loved about the home and the care we put into maintaining and improving it. We were out-of-state during the majority of the sale, and relied on Matt and his team very heavily for sale preparation. He made proposals, got quotes, and oversaw work. Matt was upfront about whether he thought each suggested improvement would pay for itself, and actively advised against changes other realtors had suggested that he didn't think were worth it. He was always clear that it was our decision and also happily accommodated us doing some of the work ourselves. Because of his and his team's diligence we were able to hit our target list date, with a house that was shown in its best light. The local market had become more uncertain: markets were softening and a similar house down the street was sitting on the market after weeks, despite a price drop. We adjusted our intended list price (still within his initial range) and our expectations, but Matt remained confident in the home and how it would show. We got an under-asking offer early, and Matt went into overdrive to solicit additional offers. Ultimately we got a very attractive at-list-price offer, the house went pending within a week of listing, and we had a very smooth closing experience. There's always luck involved, but we expect that with most other realtors it would have more work for us to get the house on the market and the sale price would have been lower.

Matt is the best realtor we ever have buying a property. He helped us bought a home in Issaquah in…read morea tricky market condition. He is extremely knowledgable and took time to walk us through the process and expectation. He was always communicative and very reliable whenever we have questions or need to look at some properties. We originally intend to be more passive while looking at houses and would take time to look through options. Matt was very receptive to that and always ensure we are truly comfortable with any decision we make. In the end, we got a new home pretty quickly also below the list price. The negotiation was handled expertly and any problems during the transactions were handled efficiently. I'd totally recommend Matt to anyone looking to buying a property actively or passively alike.

Michael Ross is everything you'd want in a realtor--professional, knowledgeable, patient, and…read moregenuinely caring. He helped me sell my home and guided me through every step of the process with clarity and confidence. This was a big, emotional decision for me, and Michael handled it with incredible care--always available, always steady, and always advocating for my best interest. He navigated negotiations skillfully, kept me informed, and earned both my trust and his commission many times over. I truly felt supported the entire way. If you're buying or selling and want someone who will show up with integrity and expertise, I wholeheartedly recommend Michael Ross.

Michael was a dream to work with! We went to an open house and wanted to put in an offer, but we…read moredidn't have a realtor or our pre-approval letter. We pinged Michael via Zillow and he worked with us on a Sunday (his birthday weekend none the less) and helped us get everything in order, and we actually got the offer in by the Monday morning deadline! We didn't get the home, but we felt so lucky to have found an amazing realtor through the process.  Michael knew we were relatively new to the city, so he started off our home search by exploring different areas of Seattle. He really took the time to understand what was important to both my husband and I - what we were looking for in a neighborhood and a home. He has bought and renovated homes in the past, and has been in the industry for many years so he has a wealth of knowledge and experience to share.  For the home we bought, we worked out what we wanted to offer via many phone calls and texts with Michael. He counseled us on what we wanted to go in at, and what we would ultimately accept. We went in low and eventually countered to exactly where we wanted to be. Michael really championed for us during the inspections and got us a very nice credit from the sellers for items that were called out in the report.  Michael will fight for you, and has the business acumen to do so. He is an amazing realtor to have on your side!

It's not that Rene's communication with us was bad, it was minimal. A few emails in 6 months. We were just strangely not in sync. It appears she wrote us off as problematic clients early in the relationship. After 6 months no sale, what a surprise. The coup de grace, Rene can't locate the 2 sets of keys and garage door opener to return to us. There's a lot of good realtors out there, I can't recommend Rene.

Our family bought a home in Queen Anne in 2011. This realtor was the seller's agent. When we saw…read morethe for sale sign, we called her and told her we would like to see the home. She said she was unavailable but would contact her colleague--another agent at Windemere--and have her meet us at the home to let us in. She let us in, and we ended up buying it. When we were in escrow and about to close the sale, this realtor's colleague, the one who let us in, filed a special claim for a commission IN ADDITION to the commissions being paid to this agent and our own agent. She claimed to be a participating agent who played a central role in selling us the home. We told this agent and her colleague, they should work this out amongst themselves. They refused. Rather than fight the claim, delay the purchase, and risk falling out of escrow, we paid it. It cost us several thousand dollars. We would not do business with this realtor again. She has never called us to apologize or make it right. Twice she has complained to Yelp about our review and convinced Yelp to pull it down. Twice we have put it back up. For reference, a picture of the home is included with this review.

Let me begin by saying Danny is the absolute best!! This was our very first home buying experience…read moreand Danny gave us comfort and confidence from start to finish! Danny was very personable and gave his professional advice with our best interests at the forefront at all times. We never felt pressured to make a decision or to increase our budget. His integrity to fully disclose information to protect us as buyers went along way in our trust with Danny. He was transparent between our options and extremely knowledgeable. The pros and cons were explained specific to our short and long term plans for our home so we could make the best decision for us. Along with his expertise, his availability and responsiveness reassured me that he's the best in the business! Whenever we gave him a call, he would actually pick up! That's so rare in today's age of texting. If he couldn't pick up, he would text us back immediately that he would call us right back - and would actually follow through! It made it really feel like we were his only customer and put to rest any concerns we had because he always had an answer for us. As far as our rates, the man is a magician! We never imagined we would be homeowners, let alone be approved for as much as we did at such a great interest rate! He helped us plan short and long term financial strategies with the loan before making any decision so we are extremely confident and feel in control of our mortgage. Danny is a true professional and expert in providing an exceptional customer experience. His skill set, work ethic, and genuine care for his customers separates Danny from his peers. Danny turned our dreams into reality and we have nothing but GREAT things to say!! He's gained customers for life, and I've already referred him to friends and family who have had even a sliver of interest in buying a home. Our curiosity turned us into homeowners within just a few months, and that can be true for any of them as well! All it takes is one call, email, or text and you could very well be on to getting a home of your own! THANK YOU DANNY!!!!

He advocated for us and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish so we could get our dream house. We're so grateful for his hard work and highly recommend him.

My wife and I first met Brandon in 2017 when we were buying our our first home. After the first…read moreexperience we had with him, we contacted him directly when we were selling it and buying our current house, and we couldn't be more pleased with the results. He is extremely skilled and knowledgeable (how many realtors do you know who hold a general contracting license?), and will alert you to any potential risks there might be with a property you're looking at buying. He'll always make time to make himself available to you and will be extremely patient while he helps you find the right home for your specific budget and situation rather than just trying to collect a commission and move on to the next client. He also knows exactly what makes sense to invest into a property you're trying to sell and personalizes your listing, which helped considerably in our case as we were selling our previous home during a sharp market downturn. Unfortunately, home buying/selling is always going to be stressful given the complexity of the process and the level of money involved, but you can trust that Brandon will not only help you make the right moves every step of the way but go far above and beyond what you'll ever see from any other realtor.

I cannot add enough superlatives to this review. Brandon was quick to understand our personal taste and needs and help us find our dream home. In the COVID market. In the middle of the high season. I feel so very blessed to have known Brandon and have enlisted his help, I know for a fact that I will not be looking elsewhere if I were to buy or sell a house in the future. Upon comparing my notes with other friends who have recently bought houses, they were all left with glazed eyes and dropped jaws at the level of professionalism and the lengths to which he goes. Note of warning though. If you want an agent that gushes at every house you see, is quick to point out all the niceness of the new house you just walked into, and is keen on getting you to buy the very first place you visit, and if not that then absolutely the second one, Brandon is not for you. He is quick to point out things that down the line might detract the value of the property, he is savvy and knowledgeable about the area in particular and the market in general. He is data-driven, amazingly quick to move on your behalf, and very good at predicting what is the direction of the market. I feel very comfortable in recommending Brandon to others, and in fact I have already referred a few of my close friends to him.

He successfully helped us navigate making clean offers and came up with a winning strategy to help us get a house in our dream location. We had a wide series of wants in a home, and he patiently helped us navigate discovering what our needs actually were. We felt bad pinging him as frequently as we did to ask questions or set up tours, but he was always present and very positive with each of our interactions and truly made us feel like our interests were his top priority. Ryan's industry experience and extensive renovation knowledge really came in handy when assessing which homes we wanted to make on offer on (versus which would be a bit too much of a DIY headache for us). Absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to crack into a seller's market with an edge on the competition!
