Laura is an amazing real estate agent! We're Seattle transplants and not only is she our agent but…read morealso an kind and open person. We bought a new construction and she was able to relay any of our concerns (we were basically buying a house sight unseen). She's super responsive to text/emails and on the ball on everything with we threw at her. Whether she knew the answer or not, she redirected us the right direction for an answer. Once we in the thick of purchasing a house, she outlined all the deadlines and the super important dates so that we could close and not incur any issues. Oh, did I say she was amazing? She was so kind to gift us a basket as she knows we have a newborn and thus the primary reason why we've relocated to the greater Seattle area. She couldn't be more welcoming than she has. I trust Laura.

We would love to work with Laura again, and will definitely recommend her to our friends and family!

Working with Amy Thompson to buy our first home in Maple Valley was one of the best decisions we…read moremade. As complete novices, we were overwhelmed at first, but Amy guided us through every step with confidence, clarity, and an infectious positive attitude that made the entire experience feel manageable -- even enjoyable. Amy is the kind of realtor who truly fights for her clients. She moved fast, stayed competitive, and helped us secure our home before it went into what would have been a stressful bidding war over the weekend. Her deep connections with trusted industry experts -- from inspectors to movers and contractors -- made a huge difference. Everyone she recommended delivered high‑quality work, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. We were in our third trimester of pregnancy during this process, and Amy took that into thoughtful consideration from day one. She streamlined everything she could, kept our stress levels low, and was incredibly patient with our endless first‑time‑homeowner questions. She remained calm, professional, and reassuring even when our due date felt like it was approaching at light speed. Her attention to detail is exceptional. Amy combed through mountains of contract paperwork and caught several items that needed to be reevaluated in our favor -- things we never would have spotted ourselves. She was always available, always responsive, and always willing to explain anything we didn't understand. Even after closing, Amy continued to go above and beyond by connecting us with reliable professionals to help us get our home move‑in ready. Her knowledge of the area, her drive, and her genuine care for her clients set her apart in every way. We will absolutely work with Amy again in the future. She is considerate, professional, positive, and fiercely dedicated. We couldn't imagine trusting anyone else with the challenge of buying or selling a home. If you're looking for a realtor who will advocate for you, guide you, and make the process feel effortless, Amy Thompson is the one.

Recently, we sold a house in Klahanie (Issaquah/Sammamish) with her and what can I say but to say…read more"Wow, I am blown away by her". We took a long time to decide on the agent that can represent us because we had some good and not-so-good agents in the past, and we knew how painful it is to work with "not-so-good" ones. And I am soooo glad that I decided to go with her. She is not only insightful on the market including Klahanie area, but was very engaging and encouraging to advise us on what is the right things to do for my house. She was not afraid to stand up for our interest when we are dealing with contractors and other parties, and she always had our interest in forefront rather than her own. She helped so much on getting the house ready and by being the real Single-Point-Of-Contact for all matters on this sale. She is very professional, knowledgeable, reliable, attentive, responsive and always available. (I often get her response within matter of minutes even if it is very late at night.) I am highly recommending her to all my friends and also to anyone who is looking for a long-term real-estate partner that you can trust. She is, by far, the best real-estate professional!

We could not have asked for a better experience working with Jessica to buy our home on Mercer…read moreIsland. From the beginning, it was clear that she brings an exceptional combination of experience, local knowledge, judgment, and genuine attention to detail to the process. She knows Mercer Island incredibly well, and that knowledge was invaluable as we worked through what was a very important purchase for our family. She understood the nuances of the local market, gave us thoughtful and candid advice, and made us feel confident that we were making the right decisions rather than simply being pushed toward a transaction. What impressed us most was how thorough Jessica was at every stage. She noticed details we would have missed, asked questions we would not have thought to ask, and stayed on top of every issue that came up along the way. She took the time to understand what mattered to us and was incredibly diligent about making sure we understood exactly what we were buying. We always felt that her priority was protecting our interests and making sure we had all of the information we needed to make a well-informed decision. Jessica also brought in an outstanding group of inspection professionals, and this was one of the most valuable parts of working with her. The people she recommended were incredibly knowledgeable and thorough, and they dug into the home with a level of care that gave us tremendous confidence in our diligence. Jessica was actively engaged throughout the inspection process, following up on findings, helping us understand what actually mattered, and making sure nothing slipped through the cracks. When you are making a purchase this significant, having an agent who can surround you with professionals of that caliber makes an enormous difference. If you are buying or selling a home on Mercer Island, Jessica should absolutely be at the top of your list. She has the experience and local knowledge you want in an agent, but she also brings an unusual level of energy, care, and personal investment to her clients. It is easy to see why she is building such a strong reputation on the Island. We could not be happier with the home she helped us buy, and we would recommend Jessica without hesitation to anyone looking for a great Mercer Island agent.

She met every question and curve with calm, clarity, and genuine care -- even when things weren't simple. From our first meeting to closing day, she communicated clearly, followed through on every detail, and stayed kind and composed throughout. When I had concerns -- about staging, timing, or logistics -- she didn't deflect; she listened and responded with honesty and integrity. That kind of professionalism paired with humanity is rare. Jessica's balance of expertise and empathy made what could have been a stressful process feel navigable. I'm grateful for her guidance, her steadiness, and her good humor all the way through. I recommend her wholeheartedly.

I have spent 26 years working on the multifamily property management side of real estate, so…read morethroughout my career I have worked with a lot of real estate professionals. When it came time for us to buy a home in another state while also juggling a move, work, and selling our current home, I knew exactly what I did and did not want from an agent. Ashley is hands down my favorite real estate agent I have ever worked with. We are probably not typical buyers, and I also know that I am not the easiest client in the sense that I am busy, opinionated, know the industry, and absolutely do not want to manage the person I hired to help me. Ashley figured out our style almost immediately. There was no learning curve, no handholding, no endless unnecessary phone calls. She just got to work, kept us informed, and did exactly what she said she was going to do when she said she was going to do it. Her communication is exceptional. She was detailed, clear, responsive, and incredibly proactive. She would send an email with everything we needed to know and then text to make sure we knew it was there. If she was going to be unavailable for a few hours, she told us. We never wondered what was happening, what came next, or whether something was being handled. She was equally impressive during negotiations. We went back and forth with the sellers several times, and Ashley helped us weigh the pros and cons without ever pushing us in one direction. Her comps were excellent, her advice was practical, and when we needed more information, she immediately had trusted vendors lined up to evaluate things and provide bids so we could make informed decisions. And when I say she handled things, I mean she HANDLED them. We had a very short closing timeline, and Ashley scheduled vendors, met them at the house, attended the inspection, coordinated bids, followed up on repairs, and went back to the property more than once to make sure the sellers actually completed what they had agreed to complete. There were several points where the transaction could have become incredibly stressful, and Ashley somehow remained completely calm, cool, and zen through all of it. That may be one of my favorite things about her. She takes the pressure off. She is direct, honest, organized, reliable, and has absolutely no fluff. She also happens to be hilarious and genuinely fun to work with. I love her sense of humor, her energy, and her entire vibe. And her service did not suddenly end when the transaction closed. She has continued to be a resource for us, from trusted vendor recommendations to little things that made moving to a new city easier. She even remembered that I'm a coffee drinker and my husband is a matcha drinker and sent us local recommendations for both. She also showed up after closing with flowers and a gift card because apparently being an exceptional real estate agent was not enough. I recommend Ashley without hesitation. Actually, that is probably underselling it. If one of my friends or family members buys or sells real estate in the Seattle area and chooses someone other than Ashley, I will openly question their judgment. She is that good. I would hire her again in a heartbeat, recommend her to absolutely anyone, and consider myself lucky to have found her.

Karen is always on top of her game. She understands the market, communicates very well, and consistently writes strong, strategic offers that help her clients win without encouraging them to overpay for a home.

Her buyers end up in the homes they truly love on terms they feel confident and comfortable with. From the lending side, I can also say Karen is organized, proactive, and a true professional throughout every transaction. She's someone I trust completely and always enjoy working with. If you're looking for a Realtor who is knowledgeable, ethical, and genuinely committed to her clients' success, I can't recommend Karen enough!

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.

I do not recommend Julie as a buyer's agent for first time home buyers, those unable to view a…read moreproperty in person, or are new to the region and climate. her best quality was assertiveness and speed to view homes and get realtor info during a market where home showings sold out before interested buyers could get in to see in person. 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.
