My experience with the O-Team as a first-time homebuyer was truly exceptional. Being in my early…read more20s and an active-duty service member who joined the military right out of high school, I had very little understanding of the home-buying process. From learning about different loan options to understanding the true costs associated with closing and down payments, there was a lot I didn't know. Fortunately, the O-Team regularly hosts first-time homebuyer seminars that provide valuable insight into the process. They break down common misconceptions, explain what buyers should expect, and offer practical advice on what to do--and what to avoid. I highly recommend these seminars to anyone considering purchasing a home. After attending their seminars and seeing the level of knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care that Joe and his team bring to their clients, I knew they were the team I wanted to work with. Throughout the entire process, they made everything feel seamless and were always available to answer any questions I had, no matter how small or insignificant I thought they might be. What truly sets the O-Team apart is their commitment to their clients beyond the closing table. Their support doesn't end when you receive your keys--they continue to check in, offer guidance, and celebrate your success as a homeowner. They make you feel like family throughout the journey and long after the purchase is complete. I am incredibly grateful for their support and would confidently recommend the O-Team to any friends, family members, or fellow service members looking to buy a home.

Lastly, Ebonee was so kind to help us navigate through the lease terms for potential rentals we were looking at in WA when she didn't have to!   We are grateful for the service Ebonee and her team have provided for us these past 7 years.

And then retaliate charging for normal wear and tear of a house falling apart. We have pictures too. Shameful No damage was done on the property, as stated on the invoice this is normal wear and tear. Also this is a two unit property shared garage cans. With another tenant who also used the garbage cans, where we even helped our senior lower unit tenant dump her garbage the day we moved out, And when we moved in the cans were full and we had to request it to be removed. We have emails showing the cans were full and removed with rental company. Returning property as it was found, no damage done to the property. Normal wear and tear on the invoice and some are not even real. Duck tape so rodents don't go in the house.. wear and tear! And all health issues gone since moving out Security deposit can not be deducted for no damage and just wear and tear, as seen on invoice to the property. The towel bar was like 40 years old! Sean and Cathy can kick rocks with slippers on. Extremely unprofessional and unethical.
