Jeff was able to address all issues in a professional, efficient and knowledgeable manner and his office responds immediately with any questions. Top notch all the way. I highly recommend them.

He's guided us through more than twenty home purchases and sales, including several of my own. Joel's deep understanding of the housing market and the broader economic factors that influence real estate have been invaluable in helping us achieve our goals. Our most recent purchase with Joel was our third home, and it was a bit different from past transactions. He provided a clear, comprehensive plan and market analysis tailored to our objectives. Thanks to his guidance and expertise, we successfully acquired the property and negotiated an excellent deal. Joel even assisted directly with the construction updates, ensuring everything stayed on track and within budget. If you're looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and results-driven real estate professional, I highly recommend Joel Ramos.

Although I have many friends working in real estate, one friend in particular has consistently grown his brokerage for nearly two decades. He has received numerous great reviews and continues to close deals on some very pricey real estate in the area. That friend is Joel Ramos of JR Real Estate Group. And trusting Joel to handle my recent real estate investment deal, was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Without going into too much detail, Joel helped me structure and complete a sale/purchase deal which included multiple properties with a total transaction of over $1.5 million in real estate. After the deal, I now own two (yes two) newer single family homes in one of the hottest real estate markets in the Northwest. Both homes acquired have huge equity upside, and both will make excellent rental properties with instant cash flow. Joel's expertise in winning multiple offer bidding wars and his calm confidence sets him apart from the rest. Joel took the time to ask questions about my goals, built a winning strategy, changed strategies as needed, pivoted our approach, and executed our new game plan to success. To put things in perspective, the two-story home pictured had over 40 competing offers. We beat them all. Getting to know Joel these past few months, it is inspiring to see after many years in the industry, he is still very passionate about helping people secure their dreams of home ownership. Joel is as excited closing a multi-million dollar commercial transaction in Bellevue, to winning a bidding war for a family purchasing their first home in Kent. He's exceptionally qualified to get both deals done, and his 17+ years experience and industry connections puts Joel on another level. Whether you are a serious investor, first time home buyer, or have a property you want to sell for the highest price possible - Contact Joel. You'll be happy you did.

I recommend Katelyn Smith to anyone looking to buy a home. Katelyn and her team made our…read morehome-purchasing experience much smoother and less anxious. As a first-time homeowner, my wife and I were unsure if it was the right time; interest was high, the housing market was unsure for us, and we had more questions than answers. Katelyn, through a Zoom presentation, made things clearer, and our position shifted to deciding to purchase a home rather than renewing our lease. They walk us through the process, from visiting houses late in the evening to closing in our home. Katelyn connected us to a lender (Guild Mortgage). Every time we were interested in a home, they would plug in numbers for us to make an informed decision. Thank you, Katelyn, Melissa, Lauren, and the entire team. Keep up the good work and spirit. I am looking forward to working with you again. Blessings to you and your team!

We had previously used Redfin to buy our first home, but found this experience much more enjoyable. Katelyn is service-oriented and knowledgeable, which works in your favor in a competitive market. She kept in close contact with the buying agent and helped us make sure our offer was competitive. Because of her help we were able to beat out another offer and get our dream house! She also helped us get our previous home ready to sell including helping us make design decisions and knowing which updates would get us the most in resale value. Katelyn did a great job and we were able to sell for well above asking price.

My disabilities were acknowledged - then dimunitized and belittled to my face - PLEASE LEARN FROM…read moreMY HORRIBLE MISTAKE - DO NOT do business with the Elston Team of Windermere Properties, serving the Puget Sound Region, based out of Bellevue, Washington. Prior to officially committing to the Elston Team of Windermere Properties, I discussed several times that I am DISABLED and I asked for specific accommodations. These accommodations were immediately agreed upon; I was told they would 'not be a problem at all'. Not only did SUNNY ELSTON of the ELSTON TEAM of Windermere Properties RENEG on providing the DISABILITY ACCOMMODATIONS that she and her team agreed upon, she also BELITTLED and INSULTED me and my needing them. SUNNY ELSTON then attempted to justify and excuse her horrible actions away by fully ADMITTING she was UNDER THE INFLUENCE of both ALCOHOL and PAIN RELIEVERS WHILE she was WORKING! I am so mortified by Sunny Elston's words and actions towards me that I am willing to share that I am legal disabled publicly in any effort to protect others from having to endure the discrimination and unprofessionalism that we have experienced. Beyond the discrimination, Sunny Elston and the Elston Team of Bellvue with Windermere Properties were not as thorough or detail oriented as expected or needed. Most communication lacked clarity and contained errors, which caused unnecessary confusion and time, causing increasing stress. I hope you reconsider ever doing business with Sunny Elston or the Elston Team of Windermere Properties in Bellevue; serving the Puget Sound region, all of King and Snohomish Counties. I am embarassed and humiliated to have Sunny Elston affiliated with my new home, and with me.

Kyle was referred to us by trusted friends and we are so grateful we are able to connect with him!…read more He makes the whole experience of buying a house while out-of-state so manageable and simple. We were in TX looking to move into WA and despite the distance and time zone differences, Kyle made it all work out. He was always responsive via phone calls, texts, and emails. Updates were abundant (pictures/videos/text summaries) and much appreciated since we couldn't simply drive to the location within the next hour or day. Even touring the first house via iPad & Zoom, Kyle understood exactly what we were looking for in a house from just one conversation. Deciding which house to lock in was easy after that. The rest was dealing with the builder, lender, title, and escrow companies which Kyle was available during every single step if we had questions or needed clarification. Other than being a fantastic professional, talking to Kyle is always pleasant. He does a really good job at keeping expectations realistic and providing timelines. We'll definitely be working with him again on the next purchase!

Kyle navigated us through Seattle's current real estate current gold rush over two days (and a dozen showings) and somehow we never felt rushed, only excited. He understood what we were looking for, and at the buzzer on day two we found the right place, and made our second offer of the trip. His personalized service, attention to detail, and thoughtfulness are readily apparent - here is someone who is not just passionate about their work, but clearly understands that to be a great real estate agent, you need to understand your buyer or seller's desires. If you're in the market, whether buying or selling, do yourself a favor and call Kyle.

RUN, DON'T WALK, AWAY FROM TEAM TALTON AND JESSICA TALTON!…read more I am writing this review to warn anyone considering working with Jessica Talton and Team Talton for their mortgage needs: DO NOT DO IT! This has been, without a doubt, the most horrific, unprofessional, and damaging experience I have ever witnessed in any service industry. My client, a first-time homebuyer, was subjected to treatment so appalling that it nearly cost them their dream home. Jessica Talton and her team demonstrated a complete and utter disregard for basic customer service, ethical conduct, and potentially, legal regulations. Their communication was abysmal. My client was consistently left in the dark, with unanswered calls, ignored emails, and a shocking lack of proactive updates. It was as if they were doing my client a favor by even acknowledging their existence. The situation deteriorated rapidly when it came to securing grant money. Team Talton acted as if this money, which is designed to assist homebuyers, was some personal gift from them. Their attitude was condescending and patronizing, making my client feel incredibly small and undeserving. But the worst part, the truly unforgivable part, was the way they treated my client on a phone call. I was present and heard the entire exchange. Jessica Talton and her team screamed and shouted at my client, who was already stressed and overwhelmed by the complexities of the homebuying process. They were rude, aggressive, and completely unprofessional. The level of disrespect was staggering. My client, a vulnerable first-time buyer, was reduced to tears, feeling completely defeated and terrified that all loan officers were this way. This is unacceptable on every level. Team Talton, led by Jessica Talton, exhibits the following: Zero Communication: They do not keep their clients informed. You will be left wondering what is happening, constantly chasing them for updates. Lies and Deceit: Trust is paramount in the mortgage industry, and Team Talton obliterates it. Regulatory Negligence: I have serious concerns about their adherence to regulations. Abuse of Power: They treat grant money as a personal favor, not a resource for the borrower. Unprofessional Behavior: Shouting, screaming, rudeness, condescension, and patronizing attitudes are their stock in trade. My client was so traumatized by this experience that they nearly gave up on their dream of homeownership. No one, especially a first-time homebuyer, should be treated this way. If you value your sanity, your financial well-being, and your emotional state, please, for the love of all that is holy, RUN AWAY from Team Talton and Jessica Talton. Do not make the same mistake of working with them. You will regret it. You'd be better off trying to secure a mortgage from a predatory lender. At least they are upfront about the screwing they're about to give you.
