Two years ago when we purchased our home, Shane Kidwell and the company he worked for were highly…read morerecommended by our Realtor as having a solid, great reputation in the area. Getting approval for our loan and the company's preparation of closing documents took an enormous amount of time! Finally we signed on the last day of our Real Estate Purchase Contract Agreement, but it turned out documents had been prepared with the wrong closing date, making all documents invalid. Thanks to our Realtor going to bat for us, the documents were redrawn and we did close but with only minutes to spare! Overall, we found the loan process frustrating but figured ours was probably an exception and not the rule. When our daughter and her husband wanted to refinance their home recently, we recommended they work with a local lender. Because of his reputation, we recommended they talk with Shane. A few frustrations were encountered by them as well. FIMC didn't lock her in on the first day, even though they had said YES to the loan, so by the time they did the lock a few days later, the rate had increased. The "loan file" changed hands multiple times and as a result she was asked to submit the same documentation multiple times because of it. (We also had that same type of experience with our loan!) Days would go by without her questions via email being answered or getting a response to messages left by phone. Within a month after contacting First Security Bank loan department and a hassle-free experience, their loan was approved and they got the type of financing they desired. I commend Shane for contacting me regarding my review and wanting to set things right. Maybe our experiences were just difficult cases beyond their control. I guess time will tell.

I signed with them and the entire process was really planned out and straightforward. They sent an…read moreemail a few days prior telling me what to expect and bring. Then they sent another with a congratulations and a reiteration of the prior email, including address/driving directions etc. We signed with Jordyn and it could not have been easier. I didnt know what to expect but i'd say we were in and out in less than an hour. We did have to go in for the final signatures, they did not send someone out like i've heard with other companies do. It would be nice, but was not an issue.

I am in the process of buying a house, and unfortunately the sellers are using Fidelity. They sent…read moredocuments to our email, and are basically like "good luck figuring it out." Although my buyer's agent gave us definitions of what each item could mean, we wanted more information about the specific Title that was sent by Fidelity. I first contacted the person who was listed on the Purchase Sale Agreement. Kim, responded that she dealt with escrow and recommended that I try and find a Title officer to speak to. Good service would be for Kim to give me a specific contact, and a number/email to reach them at, or even a step further, contact them herself, and ask them to reach out to me. So I ended up just calling the general number and being transferred to a loan officer named Carlos. When I asked for help understanding the document that his company developed, he tried to refer me back to my agent and said that agents should help us understand the document. However, Kim herself (Fidelity employee and escrow agent) told me to contact the Title dept directly for help understanding the info. To me, Carlos acted bothered by my request, so I asked to speak to someone else. Ryan, another officer got on the phone, and helped me. I should not have had to go through all of this, and so if I ever need a Title company, I would never ever ever choose this one. Their customer service is lacking.

They were systematic in their approach, provided me with great insights, communicated promptly, and always had my best interest in mind. As a first time home buyer, I expected the mortgage process to be tough, intimidating, and likely result in a bad deal. But working with Augustus was quite the opposite. We ended up with an amazing rate were ready to close in 3 weeks, and all closing costs and mortgage payments were lower than expected. Made our home buying process 10 times easier than I expected.

Even though the deal ultimately unfolded in a way where we couldn't formally work together, Edmond still went above and beyond to help me. He brought an opportunity to me knowing there was no direct benefit to him, which speaks volumes about his integrity, professionalism, and genuine desire to see others succeed. I would absolutely refer Edmond to friends or family without hesitation. His knowledge, honesty, and client-first mindset truly set him apart. I would also gladly work with Edmond again in the future. What Edmond did best was providing thoughtful guidance, transparency, and support throughout the process--especially in a situation that didn't fit the traditional agent relationship. That level of selflessness is rare in this industry. Overall, I'm extremely grateful to have connected with Edmond and appreciate everything he's shared with me. If you're looking for a real estate professional who leads with integrity and puts people first, Edmond is someone you can trust.

We want to give Matt Kearney and his team at Lamb Real Estate the highest kudos for our…read moreinteractions with them during both the buying and selling process. We were truly blessed to be able to work with Matt. Matt and his team helped us buy our dream retirement home and sell our Seattle house and they were all absolutely wonderful to work with. Matt is an excellent Realtor and he went above and beyond when it came to helping us navigate both the buying and selling aspects. He and his team were always professional, extremely knowledgeable, reliable and quick to respond to any questions we might have. Matt provided awesome referrals that never let us down. He worked with the lender and escrow company to make our home purchase went smoothly. In a time where it is unheard of to be able to buy the first house you put an offer in on, were able to do just that and at a lower price than the house was listed at. Matt helped us negotiate additional savings after receiving the results of the home inspection. Matt's advice was always on point and reflects the years of experience he has the industry. Once on the market, our Seattle home was pending within 2 days at a significantly higher price than it was listed for. This did not surprise us as Lamb Real Estate has an amazing marketing team who in conjunction with Matt perfectly showcased our Seattle home through fabulous staging, photographs and a virtual tour. Family and friends even commented on how great the house looked and the quality of the photos. We can truly say that Matt and Lamb Real Estate exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend them if you are needing to buy and/or sell a piece of property. In our wildest dreams, we never expected to be able to buy such a great new home or to sell our old home for so much money in such a short amount of time. Besides being an excellent Realtor, Matt is a kind and caring person who will treat you and your home buying and/or selling process with his personal touch. Matt really deserves 10 stars out of 5 he is that good!
