This review is specific to Carol Di Mundo, our Broker/Agent with Hawkins-Poe Real Estate Services…read more  We just closed on the sale of our home in Gig Harbor, WA on 1/13/2017.  She gets a definite 5 star rating for reasons described below.     Let me start by saying I was the last one interested in selling this house.  It was a personal fulfillment of a life long dream.  We chose the land.  We had a house designed for the property.  I personally built the house... all 5750 sqft.  I ultimately agreed to the sale as a concession to or in deference to my spouse inasmuch as she had decided she wanted out of Gig Harbor. As you may have gathered, this was raw and it is definitely personal!  My point is I was kind of a hostile customer to start with.  Keep that in mind as you read about my remarks about Carol.  We were originally represented by Coldwell Banker Bain by an agent/Broker I had worked with for 20 years and multiple transactions.  Our relationship and business were completely taken for granted.  It was my impression that we received nothing in terms of support or effort to get our house sold by them other than a 45 minute lecture (before I terminated the relationship) as to why their lack of a strategy and effort was the right solution.  So we switched to Carol.    Carol was amazing in so many ways.  She never stopped pouring her heart and energy into getting the property sold... and it took a long time.  She tolerated me and brought me along every step of the way.  She was always positive.  She was always thorough in her research and documentation.  She was relentless in creating new strategies and approaches to getting the word out and traffic in to see our place.  She held open houses and other events on an ongoing basis weekend after weekend.  She did targeted mailings to non-mainstream groups to market a concept. She got our home featured several times in periodicals getting it great visibility.  In short, she did everything humanly possible to get the visibility of our home as high as possible.  She was always open to new ideas.  She was always timely and prepared and NEVER, EVER gave up.   We went from almost 6000 sqft down to about 1000 sqft of living space. From a 6 car garage equivalent to a zero car garage (no garage).   Needless to say there was lots of furniture, artwork, appliances, tools and "history" to get rid of.  She was even a willing and capable resource in that regard.  I am sure I will edit this down over time, but the most important thing I liked about Carol was her humanity and grace in a very difficult transaction.  A consummate professional on all levels. A beautiful human being. I don't know how you beat that combination. Thanks Carol!

We had a quick and unexpected shift in plans when considering relocation to California. 51 days…read moreafter we decided to stay in Gig Harbor, we were unlocking the door to our new home. Paige navigated the purchase of a house we found on the first day of our search. She was honest about her thoughts on purchase price and successful in negotiating on our behalf. Even more impressive was Paige's ability to get some of our asks taken care of before we moved in. We knew she would roll up her sleeves and make it all happen. And she did. We originally chose Paige as a realtor because she believes in and contributes to our community. We will continue to use Paige as a realtor because she is incredibly knowledgeable about the market, is trustworthy, and will go above and beyond for us. We look forward to working with Paige on the sale of our current home.

I can't begin to thank Lori Jenkins and Melanie Hawkins enough with the sale of my mother's home…read more During a difficult situation and emotional time, loosing my mother and having to sell her home, both of these ladies, were outstanding. They were attentive to my needs, professional, and most of all kind. From the moment we met, until the very last hoop to jump, they were by my side and on my side.

If I'm ever in the need of a realtor in the future, you can bet I'll be asking for these remarkable women. Thanks ladies, you are the absolute best! Continued success will be yours, no doubt!

Thelma was the listing brokers agent. The experience we had with her is the worst transaction ever,…read moreThelma is dishonest and knows what she does is wrong. This transaction almost become belligerent at times. One example of dishonesty, was changing the square footage by over 200 feet. Just because the home owner wants you to do that, doesn't make it right. There were so many undisclosed things that didn't work. Thelma as a licensed realtor did not perform her duties as a professional. Now it is up to my husband and I to get things fixed while trying to move in from out of state. Bad transaction and I would never recommend this realtor. My realtor has contacted her with our concerns, with no response from Thelma. There are so many good choices for realtors in Gig Harbor, so hopefully our experience and this review will help you find the realtor that really cares. .
