An update the to review I left on 1/13/17:…read more Turns out Lisa had lined up an all cash buyer and completed the transaction via dual agency, meaning she represented both the buyers and sellers. This is highly unethical and frowned upon...most brokerages won't allow their realtors to do this. The house sold for 10k less than our offer in just 10 days. Lisa is a crook. I urge you that unless she is selling your absolute dream house, to look elsewhere. I will never buy a house she has listed or a house from Coldwell Banker...end of story.

I would very highly recommend Sylvia to anyone preparing to sell and/or buy a home! Sylvia is an…read moreexcellent communicator, and her attention to detail is impeccable. In preparation for selling my house, Sylvia provided expert advice on small updates and cosmetic changes. Her guidance on pricing was spot-on. Throughout the process of selling and buying, I have felt confident that I had the most knowledgable and professional advocate on my team.

We found Sylvia through a coworkers recommendation when we started looking for a house. And we are…read moresure glad we did! Sylvia was awesome. She sat down with us and listened to what we were looking for in a house, especially the things that we really had to have. When we got caught up in a few cool features of houses that didn't fit our must have criteria, she gently reminded us what we had said we really wanted. She was very patient. I have no idea how many houses and areas we looked at before finally settling on a house. She was totally no pressure to buy, we could tell she truly wanted us to be happy with where we ended up. We have referred friends to Sylvia and they have been quite happy as well. I can honestly say that we started with a real estate agent and ended up with our dream house and a new friend.

He takes the time to understand what his clients are looking for and proactively sends homes that match their wants and dreams. He not only hand picked homes based on what we were looking for, but he also included comments explaining his thoughts and ideas about certain properties. His knowledge about homes (and specifically mid-century homes) was invaluable. He's honest, works hard for his clients, great at setting expectations, and knows what it takes to win. We highly recommend working with Gavin as your agent. Buying our home was bittersweet because it meant our journey with him was over. Best of luck in your home search.

Gavin was amazing. He is super professional and very flexible to our hectic schedule. I really…read moredon't think we would have been able to get our house without him. He didn't let our creative financing or VA loan be a barrier to finding the right house. He was very familiar with NE Seattle and the area we wanted to be in. I really felt like we could ask him any question and get an honest answer, not just what we wanted to hear. In theater you say break a leg and with Gavin we said, "sinkhole", and it worked.

As siblings, we were stressed about making the right…read moredecisions before listing the home, such as painting the interior, should we install new carpeting and have it staged? However the most critical decision was determining the list price. Ann shined for us regarding all of these complicated matters, especially on pricing. She has a very disciplined strategy she employs that earns her clients top dollar for the sale of their home, and it worked extremely well. We couldn't be more pleased with the services and knowledge Ann brought to the table. Her calm, confident and reassuring style is second to none and we highly recommend her services for both buyers or sellers of residential real estate in the greater Seattle area.

I lived in one of Jim's apartments for about 4.5 years. From beginning to end, Jim was a great…read morelandlord. Jim was always very kind and responsive to questions, maintenance needs, and suggestions. He also gave ample notice if any maintenance was performed and respected our privacy. He always worked with us to find solutions if there was ever any conflict. In a city of corporatized housing, having a landlord who is a real person and who cares is rare, but Jim is one of the best. I highly recommend renting from Jim.

I originally agreed to rent the space for six months but left after three weeks due to fussy and arbitrary rules that made it impossible to use as a photo studio (Im a photographer and cant have light coming in, but Im not allowed to cover the windows). When I moved in, there were spiderwebs and dead bugs everywhere and now Im being told that I need to clean them up, paint the entire place, and so on in order to get my deposit back and not accrue additional fees. Considering that the space was literally used to store my stuff for three weeks since I couldnt actually work in there, I find it hard to believe that theres a laundry list of issues that now need to be remedied to avoid charges. Avoid this place.

When we originally rented the garage style unit it was unpainted, the manager said if we would accept it unpainted (it was just bare sheetrock) then when we left we wouldn't need to paint it. They raised the rent like clockwork, but that's fine, it's business after all. After over 3 years we decided to leave since we were barely there. Before doing so we double checked with the manager on the paint situation. Two different managers told us not to worry about it, there would be no charge. Then a month later we received a bill for $550! (It somehow cost $550 to paint a tiny 8x14 room?!?) Well they kept our security deposit. I reached out to the management office about the situation and they replied with a surprisingly hostile letter basically saying screw off and don't try taking legal action. They headache wasn't worth the $500 so I guess they won, but it definitely left a bad taste in my mouth.
