I could go on and on. Basically, it feels like we have no management services. I've been asking for these items to be addressed for two months and I haven't even gotten a response to my request. One HOA board member does almost all the work the management company should do. This company has a low review for a good reason - they are horrible. I DO NOT recommend this company.

I was referred to Matt by a friend of mine who bought a house from Matt. My experience with him…read morewhen buying my first home was very good. Matt was very knowledgeable, patient, honest, and not pushy like most salesman. He would provide me with options, suggestions, and advice with my best interest; he kept me grounded while still encouraging me in my pursuit of my dream home.

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.

He is as professional as…read moreyou can get in a realtor-- he understands the Seattle market well and knows how tough it is for buyers-- something I found out quickly! What I liked about Danny is that I never felt pressured to put an offer on homes that I didn't feel 100% on. Furthermore, I felt comfortable driving the offer process with Danny... I am a pretty risk adverse individual so I'm glad that we were able to put in a loaded offer for the condo that I am now under contract for. I didn't think that I would be moving into a new place by the end of July, and so this beats my expectation. As a first-time home buyer, I am glad that I have gone with a professional who is very responsive, honest, and knowledgeable. Thank you so much Danny!

We had the absolute best experience with TeamUP Seattle. Melissa, Cait, and Christopher were…read moreamazing to work with when we were looking for a home in Seattle. We were doing everything from afar, and they were so responsive, on top of every detail, and fully committed to making sure we had all the information we needed. They even managed the inspection process for us remotely, which made a huge difference and took so much stress off our plate. They also helped our daughter and her husband find a home in Seattle, and the experience was just as wonderful. In both cases, they listened so closely to what we were looking for that we found our dream homes incredibly quickly. It really felt like they got us and were truly invested in helping our family land in the right place. We couldn't recommend TeamUP Seattle more highly. They're professional, warm, incredibly knowledgeable, and just genuinely great people to work with. If you're looking for a team that will go above and beyond for you, this is it.

When it comes to customer service, industry knowledge, and execution, Christopher and Cait (and the…read moreextended TeamUP operation) are second to none. They carried me through the entire purchasing process with ease, answered every one of my questions thoroughly and carefully, and demonstrated exceptional negotiation skills. They even stocked up dog treats and toys for my Aussie on closing date. Take my word for it -- hire this team and prepare to be impressed!

David has been our property manager for over 4 years, and he's been professional, efficient, and…read moreresponsive. To be transparent, we are property owners, so this review is from the owner's point of view. Having said that, he's been proactive in making sure the rental house is in a good shape, including regular annual maintenance. This is to ensure tenants get what they pay for. One thing David really stands out is his responsiveness and timely communications. Tips: believe it or not, best way to contact him is via email. He'll call me as soon as he's available whenever I ask him to call me via email. His email responses are mostly cryptic and straight to the point, and some folks may take that differently. But for us, we like his cut-to-the-chase, no-nonsense style. Believe us, we have had a different property manager before, and he may seem courteous, but his responsiveness and professionalism are not even close to David's.

David doesn't ignore hard problems but will take care of them right away. These problems were ignored for years by my previous property manager (also full-priced 10% but not half as worth the price).

Leah Davidson is the best real estate agent. She has long experience, knows the market, and…read moremaintains a professional attitude. She will have the best interest in mind and never let you down. We started our house hunt in Seattle from January, 2022. It was the most competitive and low-inventory housing market anyone experienced. From the beginning, Leah was very confident and patiently guided us through the process. She would make honest comments about the flaws of a property and point out the not-so-obvious short-comings. She was always available both in-person and over the phone. She never encouraged us to make unreasonable over-bidding even during the craziest market. She maintained a positive attitude throughout the process which helped us to move forward after getting rejections due to over-biddings. We were able to buy our dream house after 6 months of search. She went above and beyond to make sure the transfer process was smooth. I highly recommend her as an agent and wish her all the best.

My SIL referred Leah and said that she would sell our house and she did after only 2 days of our house being listed! Leah created action items in our client portal of what we needed to do to get our home ready ie. new carpets, patio decking. She hired a stager and a handyman as well. We moved out of our home entirely to have it properly staged but Leah would have been able to work around it either way. She was very concerned with our quality of life especially since we have a newborn baby and to alleviate some of the stress sent us a large package of entrées to help keep us fed. Our townhouse was listed on 4/9 and Leah hosted an open house on 4/11. We had multiple offers already on the evening of 4/11 and our house was pending the next day. Our family and friends were quite impressed with the staging, photos, and virtual 3D tour online. Leah kept us updated with our client calendar and that helped to keep us organized and on task for closing. We closed officially on 5/5! We are grateful for Leah and would refer her in a heartbeat. She would always communicate with us in order to verify what we wanted to do at various steps and guide us in the right direction. Her management of all relationships is gentle and kind, yet her realtor skills are firm and assertive. Leah is a top notch agent!

Nicole just sold our house in Ballard. From the first meeting, she was clear, concise, and…read moreorganized. She sold our property in a matter of days, with multiple offers. She reviewed the property, and quickly generated a list of all the work needed to optimize the sale process. After reviewing and approving the work, Nicole managed the entire process. Everything from the initial inspector, the painters, landscapers and stagers, she handled it all. I have an incredibly busy work schedule, so this was a tremendous relief, to be able to put such an important project in the hands of someone so skilled. Nicole kept us informed at each step and made sure we were meeting our schedules to get to the listing date quickly. We will definitely call Nicole again when we need to sell. Amazing experience!

She walked the space, created the exact list of everything we needed to do to get the house dialed in for the market. And this is where it gets really great! She hired/managed all the subs. All of them: Inspections, painters, landscapers, flooring etc., cleaning, marketing. She staged it beautifully. She sold it in less than a week with multiple offers. Honestly, we didn't have to do anything at all, except trust her process and empower her to execute the vision. I can't imagine a more deluxe sales experience. Her approach bypasses the emotional load of critical decision making, and sourcing/managing subs (which can be quite hard to get done quickly without contacts/relationships). 10/10

It's not that Rene's communication with us was bad, it was minimal. A few emails in 6 months. We were just strangely not in sync. It appears she wrote us off as problematic clients early in the relationship. After 6 months no sale, what a surprise. The coup de grace, Rene can't locate the 2 sets of keys and garage door opener to return to us. There's a lot of good realtors out there, I can't recommend Rene.

Our family bought a home in Queen Anne in 2011. This realtor was the seller's agent. When we saw…read morethe for sale sign, we called her and told her we would like to see the home. She said she was unavailable but would contact her colleague--another agent at Windemere--and have her meet us at the home to let us in. She let us in, and we ended up buying it. When we were in escrow and about to close the sale, this realtor's colleague, the one who let us in, filed a special claim for a commission IN ADDITION to the commissions being paid to this agent and our own agent. She claimed to be a participating agent who played a central role in selling us the home. We told this agent and her colleague, they should work this out amongst themselves. They refused. Rather than fight the claim, delay the purchase, and risk falling out of escrow, we paid it. It cost us several thousand dollars. We would not do business with this realtor again. She has never called us to apologize or make it right. Twice she has complained to Yelp about our review and convinced Yelp to pull it down. Twice we have put it back up. For reference, a picture of the home is included with this review.

But Greg ROCKED it! From our first tour with Greg to the acceptance of our offer, it only took two months! Greg is very knowledgeable about almost everything related to property; having him partner with us gave us lots of confidence on the way. Very quickly we knew that he was someone we could truly count on. Touring properties with Greg is fun and enjoyable (didn't expect that)! Greg is always very generous to give us quality time when we tour properties together, ensuring that we have enough time to look at the properties and to ask many questions. Whenever we were not sure about a property, he never pressured us; instead, he asked questions to facilitate our thinking, or offered suggestions, an attentive ear and great understanding. He arranged an inspection for us, so that we knew what we were getting into. He worked hard behind the scenes, without saying much, seemingly effortlessly - like magic. He walked with us on every single step, making sure that we were confident with our offer, our purchase, the inspections, and the final walk through. When he said, "we will figure it out", he meant it. He took lots of stress off our shoulders, truly! And in the end, when the deal closed, he walked through the house with us again, to discuss the work we will need done, and recommended professionals to do the work. We are very grateful that Greg worked with us during our house-searching journey. Greg is a superb professional and a kind person; we feel lucky to have found him!

Myself and one other roommate applied and got accepted to a large, beautiful 3 bedroom 4 bath condo in Ballard. We were told that having three people would be no problem in the home - it's a large 3 bedroom house. Lisa Dankers went back on this, saying it was 'wrong information' and that adding a third roommate was not allowed. Lisa Dankers was trite and petty in her responses, saying she 'really took a risk for us approving our application'. It was truly mind boggling to us what the hang up was. Eventually she informed us that the rent would increase to add a third person. With a bad taste in my mouth, I decided not to move forward with Apple. Lisa Dankers, you ought to take a look at all the 1 star reviews mentioning you by name with humility and do what's right for renters.
