I don't know where to begin to shower our praises for Trish Coy and her team (including Sydney and…read moreBrandi). We have bought and sold our house with Trish. After the initial purchase of our house 8 years ago, there was no question as to who we would turn to to manage the sale of the property. Eight years ago, the market was CRAZY with houses lasting only hours and going for outrageous amounts over asking. My husband and I came from So California (thus understanding the market) with the goal of finding a house that weekend. We actually DID find a house that checked all of the boxes. I said- Trish, make this happen. With a carefully crafted offer (not outrageous over asking) she landed the deal. Trish remained in contact over the 8 years with referrals for painters, flooring, and contractors. Now selling in a flat market, again, Trish to the rescue with strategies that landed us EIGHT offers within the first few days. She prepared spreadsheets and walked us through everything. I will not only miss Trish as an agent but feel I moved out of state from a friend. She is attentive, responsive and most importantly very transparent with all aspects of the options with the purchasing as well as sale of a property. We felt supported at all times. I cannot recommend Trish and her dedicated team enough.

We would strongly recommend Matt to our friends and family in the area…read more We met with several realtors before choosing to work with Matthew to sell our home in Bellevue, WA. Matt wasn't the lowest rate, the highest sale volume, nor did he cite a substantially higher sale price. But his recommendations on prep/staging/marketing; his full-service, detailed, and organized approach; and our ability to speak honestly about expectations really stood out. We also appreciated that he recommended ways to highlight the unique touches in the home, rather than (literally) whitewashing everything as some other realtors advised. His approach magnified the things we loved about the home and the care we put into maintaining and improving it. We were out-of-state during the majority of the sale, and relied on Matt and his team very heavily for sale preparation. He made proposals, got quotes, and oversaw work. Matt was upfront about whether he thought each suggested improvement would pay for itself, and actively advised against changes other realtors had suggested that he didn't think were worth it. He was always clear that it was our decision and also happily accommodated us doing some of the work ourselves. Because of his and his team's diligence we were able to hit our target list date, with a house that was shown in its best light. The local market had become more uncertain: markets were softening and a similar house down the street was sitting on the market after weeks, despite a price drop. We adjusted our intended list price (still within his initial range) and our expectations, but Matt remained confident in the home and how it would show. We got an under-asking offer early, and Matt went into overdrive to solicit additional offers. Ultimately we got a very attractive at-list-price offer, the house went pending within a week of listing, and we had a very smooth closing experience. There's always luck involved, but we expect that with most other realtors it would have more work for us to get the house on the market and the sale price would have been lower.

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.

Deep knowledge of the market, impeccable negotiating skills and someone who has a genuine interest on your behalf. Julie Hall embodies of all these qualities and so much more. Some years ago she helped us buy in Seattle, during Covid times and crazy competitive market- she made that happen! And recently she helped us sell our home for our move to the east coast. She made this happen in record time and even getting over asking. Not only did she manage the sell of our home, she even helped with the negotiations of our east coast home- she is that amazing. Allowing us the mental space to concentrate on our move and leave our Seattle home in her hands was the easiest and best decision we made. I cannot recommend her enough. She works with a very talented team- from financing to staging. She has no problem rolling up her sleeves and making things happen. I keep telling her that wherever she does, she sprinkles Julie dust and it's 100% true. Her touch is magic- let her make your home dreams come true.

Ultimately for our needs, the decision to work with Julie was a disaster and cost us time, emotional anguish and a lot of money. A lot. Given how anyone we tell our story to including other realtors says, "well you're not using her again! Right?" I feel it's time to share our experience. We worked with Julie for many months 2020/2021 to buy (then quickly sell at a loss) our first home. This was at the tail end of covid while travel was restricted and discouraged and vaccines were just coming online. I toured some places with her in person during visits from out of state but also virtually thinking I was saving a long drive and being responsible because Julie understood our needs. She didn't provide video tours with me but instead would describe things or send video clips. In contrast her assistant Allison gave great video tours and clearer feedback on homes. I should have explicitly asked for video tours. But I shouldn't have had to ask. I was shopping in the luxury market and even Redfin was doing them. Reflecting back, I think because Julie was remodeling her own home and enjoyed that process she was dismissive about the difficulty and costs involved in buying a home that had problems. We were willing to do some remodeling on outdated finishes or floor plans and could afford unforeseen costs so it felt okay to take some risks. But we wanted a move-in ready, watertight home without moisture damage. I explained how I'd lived in a moldy place and was sensitive. It turned out that regardless of our ability to afford correcting what turned out to be bad DIY, deferred maintenance, and poor construction, We learned that we didn't want to. our new home required 80% of exterior replaced as well as the alleged "2 year old roof with warranty" because it was void since no flashing replaced. Julie did communicate that interior finishes and quality were not great like the flooring which we intended to replace or the paint which we also would expect to change. She said she spent over five hours on the property. I incorrectly assumed that meant she had been using that time to inspect it as a realtor would to help me make an informed decision. I was incorrect. Even simply saying that she thought I should visit in person given the condition would have been helpful. If she had only opened the strange wet bar sink cabinet and described the (to be polite) DIY shenanigans or sent a photo, we may have passed entirely. It was one of many red flags. Problems were visible in person. Certainly if she had mentioned the mildew smell evident upon opening the front door, we would also have paused and likely avoided a lot of heartache. Certainly not have overpaid by as much. Ultimately, the home was borderline tear down for us after consulting many professionals, bids, and hiring an architect. for a time we thought we might choose to make lemonade out of lemons and end up with something really stunning. However the scale of project was not what we thought we were buying, even if we repaired the bare minimum. Julie regularly dismissed mold and mildew smells saying that a home just needed new carpet and paint or to "air out"; was dismissive of my concerns of the risk to buy and cost to repair and replace stucco and Dryvit siding on homes we looked at; on more than 1 occasion encouraged us to bid at or over asking on homes that had a record of difficulty selling and price reductions. One sold for about 120k under asking (after a huge price reduction already). She failed to obtain accurate parking rights information on a home that we passed up because we had incorrect information. If you expect your realtor ON YOUR BEHALF to walk completely around the exterior of a home you are not viewing in person and note for example obvious eye-level damage to Dryvit on a 1990's home (golf ball sized white styrofoam exposed) after telling you the house was traditional stucco. as well as obviously decayed original wood windowsills exposed to the Bay, broken seals, and a moldy smell upon opening the front door of a home that had a checkered sales past - find a different realtor. I could go on. This is certainly one review I wish I didn't have the occasion to write.
