He listened to exactly what my wife and I wanted - and within a week we found our dream home (from out of state!). After I flew out to check out homes, Grant made sure to meet with me at several homes. A huge win thanks to Grant's communication and customer service. He was responsive and quickly returned any questions, concerns, or comments. Very down to earth, honest, and friendly. This guy is your guy - he certainly went above and beyond for us and we couldn't have done it without him. Thanks Grant.

My wife and I are both first-time homeowners and we began knowing very little about the process…read more Jeff Knapp was able to take us under his wing and we really could not have asked for a better agent. We entered a competitive market and it took us almost a year before finding our home. We both have varying schedules and Jeff was always flexible in finding times to tour different houses. Jeff is super knowledgeable about different builders and build quality and was always honest in his assessments (good and bad) of different homes. He often was able to point out important things that we would have never even thought of as 1st timers and so we really appreciated having both his expertise and knowing that we could trust his advice. His style was very much one of providing us information and his own experience, but we never felt pressured at all at any point. He largely let us dictate the pace (maybe why it took a year) and never once felt like a "salesman". When it came to putting in our offer, Jeff was also incredibly helpful. The Josh Hall team apparently has a great relationship with our loan company and this relationship allowed us the prompt and streamlined communication needed be successful in this competitive housing market. (The sellers actually moved up their offer review date and when we found out that they were reviewing that night, Jeff and Thalia were able to get our loan approval and draft an offer in less than an hour.) They also knew a few "tricks" that I assume are not super well known for adding a little extra spice to our offer. Overall the communication amongst all of the Josh Hall team was excellent. All business was handled incredibly efficiently on their side. Jeff was super friendly, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. The entire experience was stressful by nature, but Jeff and company made it as fun and easy as possible. Highly recommend!

Throughout the process he worked together with the loan team to help me figure out what I needed to accomplish to buy the house of my dreams. I got even more than what I expected in a home. God is truly good and I believe for some reason he wanted Jeff to be my agent. Prior to the experience I didn't know Josh at all. I was referred by a mutual friend and real estate mentor. I feel truly blessed not only to buy the home of my dreams through his guidance and great negotiating skills, but to have a person I consider a GREAT friend. You will be thankful to work to work with this professional team that will keep you up to date throughout the whole process, buying or selling!

When my fiancé and I first contacted Liz, it was primarily to see if we would qualify to purchase a…read morespecific property we had our eye on that was on the market. After our initial conversation with her, we didn't expect to move forward with the home buying process so soon, but we did. I remember telling my fiancé right after we ended our conversation with Liz that I wanted her to be our agent. I truly appreciated how people centered, passionate, and incredibly knowledgeable she is about the process. She made us feel completely comfortable asking questions and helped us clearly understand what the home buying journey would look like. Liz never made us feel rushed or pressured into anything. She truly respected our pace and guided us with patience and understanding every step of the way. Since my finance and I currently live in Los Angeles, Liz took her time to tour several homes that we were interested in. All of the videos she sent to us were extremely thorough and informative which made our process easier. It felt like we were actually there although we were miles away. We really appreciate Liz for taking the time to record and share the tours with us while giving us her opinion on things that stood out to her that were concerning. This is something we would not have been able to pick up on since we were not present. Liz really listened to what we were looking for in a home and she delivered. We cannot recommend her enough! She is truly an AMAZING agent to work with. We're beyond thankful for Liz and The Porchlight Group. If we ever decide to buy another home in the future, we are absolutely going back to her! IN LIZ WE TRUST!!

Being in Las Vegas but looking for a place in Seattle and not knowing ANYONE or where or how to even begin the process. I used YELP for what is here for...to find businesses and read reviews. I searched Realtors and started to read reviews. After reading several reviews I knew I wanted to go with a smaller vs. a bigger company (where they might hand you off to whoever or you get lost in the shuffle). SOOOOO glad I went with Liz! I really believe that things happen for a reason and people come into your life for a reason. From the first time I spoke to her she had a great energy and vibe and I knew she was going to be a hustler. I was already impressed from the get go! In the beginning I explained what my husband and I were looking for, (which I thought were pretty strange requests criteria...because this condo was going to be used for our employee, it needed to be within a certain proximity, near the airport and within our budget). Liz just rolled with it and got on it. I think it was that night or the next we were already Facetiming a property we were interested in...that's how quickly she was on it! BTW she gives great video commentary and is thorough and honest with her review of the places. Not being there and actually seeing something in person for such a large purchase is kind of scary, but it truly was a great experience that I wasn't expecting. She listened and cared about our opinions and was never pushy. So right now the market is CRAZY!! We put in about 3-4 offers starting in February and kept getting outbid by cash offers and waiving everything. Finally we found something that was perfect for us and had keys and were moving in on April 8! We got to do a little fixer upping (Liz helped with finding a contractor) and was able to pick out flooring, paint and light fixtures, to our liking, all for asking price (seller was throwing in some $). BEYOND impressed with Liz and her team! From start to finish and all throughout the process Liz always kept in touch and updated with what was going on. Almost daily emails with new listings or possible places then following up with which ones we were interested in seeing. She was ON TOP of it! Not sure how she keeps it all straight because you will feel as if you are her only client (which I know we weren't), with how dedicated and on top of it she is. She was very knowledgeable, patient, kind, generous and helpful in SO MANY WAYS! You will NOT regret choosing her and her team to buy or sell your home! Just give her a call and she will get right on it...because she can't help it and truly loves what she does, and also loves to work! lol

The last time I spoke to him was June 1st when the property was vacent, after walking the property together I gave him printed copies of his contract and he assured me they would send me a PDF for me to sign.

I certainly won't be using him or his broker John L Scott in the future with any properties.

But when Troy is representing me as the buyer, this is when he really shines. He always goes over and above what I would normally expect. Even when the transaction is closed, Troy is always engaged with helpful advice. He is well informed and vey well connected. I have been frequently impressed by the professional quality of his various advice. Bottom line, I have done business with Troy for decades and I would not consider any other agent. Like a good wine, he just keeps getting better.

Run away! We were looking for a home in the Seattle/Tacoma/Olympia area. We were introduced to a…read moreJohn L. Scott real estate agent through a friend. Our agent barely worked to find us a house. Luckily, with Zillow, we told our agent what houses we were interested in. We had reservations about one of the houses for legitimate reasons. But instead of trying to allay our fears, the agent kept pushing us towards buying it. We could smell the fear and frustration that the agent was going to lose the sale. All of the "experts" they brought in to look at the house were either incompetent or had a working relationship with JLS Realty or both. When we pulled out of that deal and made an offer on another home, which his office was also selling, our agent's manager came to the inspection. It was clear the manager was trying to 1) distract us from working with the inspector and 2) influence us to buy that house. In all the property transactions I've been in, that was a first! In the end we didn't buy that house either. Speaking of inspections. As I was paying due diligence I came across Washington State law that prohibited, for ethical reasons, inspectors from providing inspection reports directly to agents without the permission of the buyer. It's a reportable action. What do you think our inspector did for each house they looked at? They gave it to them! For the second house, not coincidentally, a problem with the hot water heater was fixed when we went out to the site to meet another professional. In effect, the inspector gave the selling agent information about the house, which was in violation of the purchase contract. If the seller learned that, the sellers could have used that to terminate the contract AND take our earnest money. John L. Scott doesn't understand that, if they treat us right, we will recommend their agents and call them in the future. Their shady business practices are obviously intended to fatten their pockets at the expense of their clients.

As a single mom I was super worried about making big moves but I was quite intrigued with her because she had accomplished my goals plus more. From woman to woman, I am so glad I met her because she had my best interest at heart. After I told her what my plans are, she told me things I need to avoid that no one else had brought up before and things I may want to consider instead to save money and time. Thank God! I would have put myself in a bind if she didn't advise me. Today I own multiple homes and because of her, I saved so much! Heartache, stress as well as financially. I will always go back to her with all of my real estate plans. So it's been a while and I lost her number. I found her again through Yelp and I'm so glad. She has helped many people buy and sell in my price range. I trust her to be honest and upfront with me if my plans are good, bad or have issues I should be careful with. Thank you Thu!! You have been awesome! I can't explain how grateful I am to have you! P.S. Thank you for always answer me so quickly! Best response time agent!
