Sarah was extremely helpful in our house search. We began our hunt feeling uncertain if there was…read moreeven anything out there in our price range that we would want. In fact, we weren't even sure of our price range or IF we could afford a home. Sarah paired us up with brokers who ran numbers for us and walked us through the process and answered all the questions we had. She sent us all sorts of leads, encouraged us to look in neighborhoods we wouldn't have initially considered, provided us with insights into the process, gave suggestions in terms of negotiations which she was extremely knowledgeable. Even when we found the house we wanted, she insisted on looking at other houses in the area, to ensure that the house was priced right for the area/market, and to make sure we had ALL the knowledge we needed in order to feel comforable in making an offer. She helped us negotiate our offer, talked us through possibilities, was INCREDIBLY responsive, and made the house buying process fun. She was honest and I always felt confident that she had me and my husband's best interest at heart. I started the process curious about buying a house and not even sure if i was ready - I finished finding me and my husband's DREAM home which we are so thrilled to be in. Sarah goes the extra mile - she priced out appliances when we were looking at a house that needed a new kitchen, helped by mapping up a kitchen through IKEA's online create-a-kitchen, and offered to go wtih me to price out the new kitchen, as well as visited places to help us pick out flooring and understand what the overall additional costs would be. We didn't even end up going for that house that needed all the work, but the fact is, Sarah was there every step of the way, always one step ahead of things, and just a fantastic asset. Sarah was more than a real estate agent - she turned into a friend who I would recommend to EVERYONE i know. A friend of mine recommended me to her and i'm SO glad she did. In fact, i recommended her to a good friend of mine who was not having any luck in her house hunt and not satisfied with her real estate agent. Within 2 months, Sarah had found my friend THEIR dream house. Sarah is a tireless advocate for her clients. I couldn't be happier with the service Sarah provided.

I am thrilled to say that on the first day we accepted offers, our condo SOLD for more than our…read moreasking price. Sarah found the "sweet spot" when it came to pricing. Sarah is the savviest, most organized and smartest agent I've ever come across. I am known to my family and friends to be the "researcher." I do not take decisions that involve money lightly. I pour my time and effort into ensuring I'm making the right choices. My process for choosing an agent was very detailed. We owned a condo that had very little by way of comps and was sitting in a hot waterfront area with little inventory. I sent out the same email to many agents and then eliminated one by one depending on their approach to selling our investment. The pricing suggestions we received from other agents fell in a low-high range of about $150k! Talk about confusing. Sarah won my husband and I over with her no-nonsense approach. She refused to just throw out a number without gathering ALL of the detail possible including information from our HOA. She met me eye to eye with a level of detail on the pricing that made me swoon! She won my trust and I felt confident that I could let go and put this in her hands. I admired the time and effort she put into her presentation. She consulted with other agents in her office to make sure her final suggestion on the price was solid. In the end, it was perfect! All of the feedback we received from other agents while we were on the market was that the price was "just right". Not too high, not too low. This woman streamlines everything. She knows how to keep all the balls in the air. She has a great team and covers all the bases. Actually, she more than covers the bases. She puts out fires before they can even spark. I feel like this would be a good place to make a Chuck Norris reference but I should keep this professional. There were times where she listened to an idea of mine (sometimes I have wild ones) and would help reign me in by saying something like "Sure, we can do it that way but let me explain the pros/cons before you decide." I love that gentle way she would hear me, respect my opinions and help guide me to make the right choice. Through an app, we saw all of the agents going in and out, watched feedback come in and were kept in the loop constantly. No corners cut- she brought us beautiful staging and photography to help bring the best offers. She guided us through the exciting offer review day, explained the logic behind what factors in the offers were most important in our specific situation and then negotiated one to become the obvious winner. We were thrilled and felt like we left nothing on the table. She is all class. She has become a friend and my husband and I enjoyed the process. She is the only agent I will refer my people to and we are looking forward to using her to represent us again in the near future. I love that my husband keeps complimenting me on my choice of agent! How embarrassing it would have been if I picked a loser. :D If you are entering the market, give her an interview and let her do her magic. You will likely feel the same relief I did and hire her.

Their former home was a four car garage, and I thought they would never get a big garage again. They are now proud owners of a spacious six car garage and a beautiful home! I first worked with Wendi when I bought my first home in 2015. A couple months into searching, I was discouraged in this tough sellers-market. I was limited by budget and location. She taught me what to look for in a house. Galvanized plumbing? Clean crawl space? What's the attic like? Double pane windows? Asbestos? Lead paint? What are the bills like? What are the neighbors like? Good school district? Is there crime? What condition is the electrical panel in? New roof? I was tired of seeing dump after dump. After what seemed like an eternity, we found the perfect match. Two car garage rambler with private beach access to Lake Goodwin! We met at the house the day it went on the market and put in an offer that evening. I got it! She always made herself available to look at potential homes with me. This is extremely valuable when the market is hot and decent houses go pending within a day! Keep in mind I have not sold my first house as we want to have it as a rental property, otherwise she would sell it for me The second time I worked with Wendi my fiancé and I were looking to move into something closer to work. Again, same commitment. Day in and day out, willing to show you houses the same day you find something with potential. We finally found one we loved. We took a tour the day it came on the market, we put an offer in hours later, and although we weren't the highest offer, they accepted our offer that evening! She is Wonder Woman! She points out things even an engineer would overlook (because I sometimes did). If you've read this far, it's obvious I love working with, Wendi! She amazes me with her dedication and compassion to find buyers the right home. I look forward to continuing business with Wendi in the future.

Julie helped me find my beautiful creek-side two-bedroom condo in NE Seattle in 2008…read more I needed at least a two bedroom as I planned on using the second bedroom exclusively for my top rated QuickBooks and Quicken set up, review, support, training, and help business in Seattle. She came recommended by my mortgage broker as knowledgeable about first time home buyer programs and able to deliver in a tight time frame as I had to find a place and close in 90 days. When I e-mailed or called her, I heard back promptly, usually within a day. I told her what I had been approved for including monthly homeowners dues and what I desired. She informed me that some wants would be difficult to find in the time frame I was in as well as my price range and brought me down to reality. Julie told me how she liked to work and I told her what I expected in return. We put together an action plan with responsibilities divided upon each of us. From reviewing my e-mail logs, I got daily or every other day updates from her. She then showed me around two dozen units. The last one was the one I picked. I did have other choices that were more or had higher HOA dues than what I was comfortable with. Julie helped me negotiate a good price in a seller's market and saved me about 5% off the already lowered listing price by suggesting a number that was high enough to keep the seller happy, low enough to meet my budget and realistic for both of us. One thing I remember Julie said to me was how the Ravenna Woods complex had over $100,000 in reserves (which is extremely unusual I found out later) so the possibility of getting hit with a special assessment was extremely unlikely. I was glad that she reminded me of that as one of friends had that unfortunate experience of having to cough up a special assessment because her condo complex's board was more interested in keeping the dues low rather than realistic. Many of the other complexes I had looked at looked like they hadn't been taken care of. And I wondered if I moved into those if a future special assessment would be my fate. Another thing she mentioned was when I looked at the (old) rug at my place, I wondered about the burns on it. Julie smiled and reminded me that I was "planning on replacing it so it wasn't really an issue, right?"

She has great energy as well as a sixth sense knowing when to do what for you. She puts a lot of thought into how to reach your goal, and she has seemingly unlimited patience. Even with young kids. Put that together with class and intelligence, and it was lovely to have someone I enjoyed spending the time with during (what mostly just felt like) a long search in a tough market for buyers.

I did a lot of research on local realtors and came very close to selecting an online realty. But…read moreafter all of that research trying to find the right realtor to sell my house, I selected Jessica over those online options. Bottom line, up front: I could not have made a better decision putting my trust in Jessica's hands. In readying the house for sale, Jessica did a lot of preparation ranging from comparables, marketing strategies, staging, and helping with the right handyman to fix a few little things that needed to be done. Heck, I wished I'd had known this handyman even prior to me selling! Given I was retiring and preparing to move across the country, just having the handyman tell me to not worry and just leave things to him really put me at ease and let me focus on finishing my packing and having more time to say all my goodbyes. We listed and Jessica held an open house just days after I finished moving out. At first I was a little unsure about the list price she had recommended to me, but she explained her reasoning and it made sense. Spoiler alert: Here's where Jessica's experience in the local market really shines through. She knows the market behaviors, has done her homework, and how to get things done. So I went with her recommendations. In my particular case, we were fortunate to have multiple offers on the house and a little escalation war in the end. They say moving and selling your family home (which you've put so much into) can be one of the most stressful events in life. Without a doubt, Jessica made that entire process so much easier and less stressful. Looking back, I don't think there's a single thing I've mentioned above could have happened by choosing that online option. From prior to listing to after closing, I simply cannot recommend Jessica highly enough.
