I don't even know where to start with Brian.... Brian likes that state that Sotheby's is all about…read morethe relationship and not about the transaction and that's what sets his team apart. However, Brian completely failed us on the relationship side of our house sale in the summer of 2018. When these points were called out to him he continued to have an excuse for his on-going incompetency through this transaction. When the relationship piece failed with Brian he flopped back to the transition of the sale. What he continues to lack the ability to understand is our issue with the Hopper Group was not about the sale of the home but how he continued to fail, lie and his lack of accountability and ownership along the way. Below are key issues with Brian Hopper related to the sale of our home: * Unauthorized Showings * Switching Title Companies Without our Knowledge * Incorrect Home Address on Printed Marketing Materials * Online Marketing Strategy Not Aligned * Cutting Open Houses Short * Inability to Listen/Comprehend Unauthorized Showings There was a showing on July 6th at a time that we specifically told Brian would not work for us. Regardless he booked the showing with the other agent keeping my pregnant wife out of our home walking the dogs after a recent knee surgery. This caused me to have to leave a work dinner to quickly get home to help my wife out. Brian simply couldn't grasp our frustration with this and just continued to state that multiple back-to-back showings were a good thing. He neglected to care about us, mostly my wife, in this situation and only about the transaction - so much for the relationship side of what was promised. Switching Title Companies Without our Knowledge Not only did Brian switch our title company from Rainier Title to FATCO without our knowledge he also never informed the agent with Rainier Title this was occurring. The agent at Rainier Title only found out secondhand. Brian stated his guy Doug was the best and cheaper and they would beat Rainier Title. This wasn't true and Brian initially refused to refund the difference in the extra cost to us. It was only when it was escalated to his leadership that he acknowledged to her that he dropped the ball on this and would pay the difference. Incorrect Home Address on Printed Marketing Materials As part of the Brian Hoppe Group "white glove" service he also printed our incorrect address on our marketing materials. This was never corrected during the entire listing even after it was pointed out. Online Marketing Strategy Brian stated that he was revising our online positioning with Sotheby's and other online real estate sites. However, the content across Sotheby's, Zillow, Redfin, etc remained completed inconsistent during the entire listing. Again, so much of "white glove" service. Cutting Open Houses Short The first open house we had with Brian was going to be for two hours. Brian arrived to the open house 20 minutes late and left the open house 15 minutes early. He simply felt that he didn't have to put forth any effort to sell the home and wasn't doing his job as promised. Inability to Listen/Comprehend Going through this process never once did we feel that Brian was listening to our concerns and was more focused on selling and getting through. I know that Sotheby's markets themselves as a relationship based real estate company but we felt this was anything but. He pressured us into taking less than asking offers versus looking out for our best interest. Never have I ever encountered a more self-absorbed person than Brian Hopper. He takes credit for everything that bounces his was but never gives credit to the agents on the other side of the table and even worse, never takes ownership for when things don't work out the way he promised. In the link below you can listen to his voicemail he left after these issues and others were brought forth to his leadership. Never once in the two minutes does he acknowledge anything he did wrong but only focused on the fact the house closed. While the deal did close smooth it wasn't only because of him but buying agent on the other side. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1lDoLowfqWDZQGRfZ4nrfA95MBY6QiP6h I would avoid Brian at all costs as he simply lacks class, integrity and ethics. Never have a worked with such a lack of unprofessionalism in any real estate transaction.

We worked with Ryan Patrick to buy our home in Arlington last spring and he was outstanding…read more Before choosing a real estate agent, I conducted a lot of research to see who would be the best choice based on the investment they make into helping their clients (time and effort, not necessarily financially). Team Patrick stood out as the best the Puget Sound area has to offer: their organic rankings are excellent (meaning people find listings on his site easily), their social media presence was strong, and I could tell they put a lot of work into their clients. He spent hours answering our questions, providing objective data regarding how many homes are being sold in the area, how long listings typically stay on the market, and providing tons of info on comps in the area. Ryan's hard work and knowledge of what it takes to buy/sell a home really paid off. Ryan walked us through every step of the closing process. It couldn't have been a more pleasant experience. I've recommended the Team Patrick to everyone I know. He's a true professional and a genuinely nice guy. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better Realtor.

He knows real estate and has talked me out of buying homes that were potential money pits.

When maintenance issues arise, he addresses them promptly and professionally, never leaving anything unresolved.

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.
