We just closed on a house with Doug Culver and could not be happier! Doug and Century21 were our…read moreallies during the whole process. He went above and beyond to help us find exactly what we want and within budget. We are first time homeowners, so we knew very little about the process but Doug was incredibly helpful and answered all of our questions. During the whole process we felt like friends. Doug didn't just want us in a house; he wanted us in an amazing house. He never pushed and was incredibly positive throughout the whole process. He gave us honest advice but wasn't overbearing. He strongly advocated for us during negotiations and was glad to have him on our side. I would recommend him to anyone that needed an agent.

Flat out lazy and lack of care. As an out of state seller, I had a very unfortunate experience…read moreworking with this office of C21. Total lack of care and professionalism and stewardship. First agent, who was the managing broker, I cannot say anything positive and I should have fired her within 30 days of hiring. Very lazy. Even though I staged the house, the rest of the property was neglected. Someone could have made the house look occupied. I do not think the first or second agent even cared about me or my property, or my interest. Even the neighbors, and my handyman commented on the lack of evident caretaking of the listing, and this in and of itself speaks miles on the company. Never, Never, Never!

I only moved in to this apartment early last October but it already feels like a home to me and I can already tell that I will hate to leave this place. Also, the apartments are vintage and adorable! I have a clawfoot bathtub in mine! The only thing that can be tricky is the plumbing - but nothing I can't handle. I'm so happy to have lived here.

Dave Ralston is nothing short of exemplary at his job. I was a first time home buyer and no matter…read morehow much you prepare on all the the things you need to know to buy a house, you'll never know them all. But that is why you need someone on your team like Dave. His extensive background in home construction services really helped bring dollars and realities into my viewings of homes. He always let me get excited about architectural features while making sure he pointed out all the potentially tricky bits that might cause more money later after purchase. Buying a house isn't all just dollars and lists either. So much of buying a house is really about buying a HOME and Dave is there to listen the entire time. Basically he takes care of you the whole time and can also be a shrew agent when it comes to getting you the best price. I am happy to say he did help me close on a house over a year ago now and I could not be happier. But working with him goes well beyond the buying interaction. Dave and his partners have consistently followed up both via call and by mail with thoughtful gifts to make sure everything is running smoothly. I have received a Home Depot gift card (which every homeowner knows you'll spend every weekend there the first year), and just yesterday, a year and half after purchase, I got a card that offered me a free 4" herb plant from Swanson's on behalf of Dave and his partners. How sweet! So if you are a first time home buyer, Dave is THE person who is going to help you get through it.

If only there were more stars on this rating chart. The short version review: 1. Dave would do…read moreeverything in his power to get you the best price/deal 2. He is probably the most responsive agent out there. If he didn't answer the call or text right away, he would get back to you within hours if not minutes. I was even calling him at 9 pm once. 3. Dave genuinely looking out for his clients (who he treats like his friends) for any pitfalls or contract issues My wife and I first met Dave back in 2013. Right away, we knew he is different than other agents we have met. Instead asking how much money we had or driving us around town aimlessly for house shopping, Dave set us down and asked about our expectations and goals. By the time we were ready to purchase a house at 2014, we went back to Dave. (at that point, we already had three unpleasant experience with real estate agents.) It took my wife and I almost 4 months to find the right house (during that time, we even had Dave made an offer contract for a potential house at almost 10 pm, which we cancelled in the end), but Dave was really patient with us the whole time. The lender actually caused us the most trouble throughout the entire home buying experience, which ended up delaying the closing date up to 2 weeks. The builder (the house was a brand new construction) was not very understanding and insisted on the late fee per day, which ended up around $1500 on top of closing cost. Dave felt that this is the perfect house for my family, and paid the fee out of his pocket. Tell me where you can find an agent like that? we didn't just buy a beautiful home through Dave, but we also met a wonderful friend.

After my initial consultation, I knew that everything I read about Joseph was accurate. He assembled a team and immediately went to work. He was extremely knowledgeable about the market and the associated laws of real estate in Washington. He helped managed and advised strategies for improvements on the house which made the house more desirable to the prospective buyers. Joseph is a true professional and an excellent negotiator which helped my house sell very quickly. Joseph's professionalism and real estate skills made my transaction smooth and easy. If you are looking for an agent who will go the extra mile, choose Joseph!

Bill did an amazing job for us, his uncanny expertise and attention to detail, allowed us to…read morepurchase a fantastic house. We were under a tight timeline and Bill delivered a schedule of homes that were exactly what we wanted to see and no time was wasted. Bill did not stop at the purchase but continued to work for us throughout closing and was present for every meeting with the builder. His immense knowledge of the industry allowed us to petition for and gain a great number of additional features that would not have been possible were it not for Bill's tenacious negotiating skills. We are so very grateful for all that Bill did for us.

However, Bill can hardly be described as average. I am always impressed when someone does their job extremely well, and there are few people I've come across in any line of work who were as thorough and detail-oriented as Bill. He listened to me and my wife as we walked through houses and talked about what we liked and didn't like, and in short order the houses we wanted to look at were carefully hand-selected by Bill, who had been paying attention to us and our needs. We found a house that we instantly fell in love with, and less than twelve hours later Bill had orchestrated a strategy around the offer, the best way to negotiate the best deal, and had an offer in place and ready to go. His meticulous preparation and attention to detail made the otherwise-stressful experience of buying a house into a pretty easy, stress-free experience instead. He was with us from the start to the end all the way up until closing and was available for any and all questions or problems we had. He anticipated potential problems and headed them off before they came up. Bill is personable, has a great understanding of the industry and market, communicates well, and knows exactly what it takes to get the best house and the best deal. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
