When we first moved to the state with zero knowledge of the area, Veronica was the one who helped us find a rental that felt safe and comfortable--she truly made that transition so much easier for us. Fast forward a year later, and she's now helped us find and buy our first home here! Veronica is incredibly sweet, kind, and thoughtful. She never put any pressure on us and was always patient, supportive, and genuinely caring. She took the time to understand what we were looking for and guided us every step of the way. We were so grateful for her help throughout the whole process. It's rare to find someone so knowledgeable and professional, yet so down-to-earth and easy to talk to. Thank you, Veronica, for helping us find our home sweet home!

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.

Tammy understood my goal precisely and efficiently located multiples properties within my budget for me to evaluate.

Tammy's courtesy help continued even after the transaction. She helped me find and negotiate with the professionals that I need and provided her experience in the repair and maintenance of the newly acquired property.

Paul has been an invaluable resource to me in my journey to finding a place to live…read more I started looking in Fall of 2016; I met with him in person after a quick chat over Yelp and email, and gave him my budget, what I was looking for, and so on. We looked at some properties for a number of months, but I was wary of various things on all of them. Paul was incredibly patient, and helped me continue to look for over 6 months. The market started to balloon, and prices were surging too much for me to be comfortable, so I backed off a bit, and told Paul to keep sending me listings, but that I probably wouldn't be looking to buy unless something awesome came up. Fast forward to 2019 and that awesome something did in fact come up. He got me a tour next day -- Saturday -- and a rush inspection on Monday for an offer deadline of Tuesday. On his recommendations, I put in an offer and got the place for what I think was a steal! We beat out at least 3 other offers, too. Even through the financing process, the signing, and the follow-up, Paul continues to keep in touch and give me useful information. He is confident, smart, punctual, and incredibly good at his job. I highly, highly recommend Paul and his team. They are excellent.

We worked with Max to buy our first home about a month ago and the whole transaction was…read moresurprisingly very easy (I should point out that we did not have a real estate agent representing us). We contacted Max on a property on a Friday and had the offer accepted that Sunday. Though he represented the seller, we felt that he was also looking after our best interest and helped negotiate our offer to avoid a bidding war. Our home was later appraised for several thousand more than what we offered- which was great considering how competitive the housing market is in Seattle. He offered recommendations for a lender (Dan Pittman) who we loved, and a home inspector- which made the process of buying a home even easier. Overall, Max was easy to work with and was responsive to all of our questions and needs. We look forward to working with him again if we ever decide to purchase another home!

Buyers, please be careful when dealing with this realtor and his listings. Here are a few things I…read moreencountered as a buyer : 1. This realtor is very bellicose and aggressive. He easily threatens the buyer with legal actions directly bypassing your realtor. If you want to frighten your potential buyers away, go and hire him. 2. The realtor provided conflicting information regarding the square footage of the property. He bypassed my realtor and reached out to me directly, claiming that he had two appraisals indicating the size as 3002 and 3200+ sqft, opting for the smaller measurement. However, the seller themselves informed me that the first appraisal stated the size as 2900+ sqft. 3. Do not release your Earnest money directly to the seller, and be wary of agreeing to pay more than 5% of your Earnest money. The realtor attempted to trap us with their own contract forms instead of using WA standard forms. 4. I found that the realtor disclosed my private information, including personal messages and phone number, to unrelated individuals. This is a breach of my privacy. 5. This arrogant person calling buyer POS. Not surprised at all. PS: why you deleted your response? You said you couldn't be happier to get my 1 star review. What just happened?
