If you're looking for a realtor who is equal parts savvy, responsive, and genuinely kind then…read moreAnna-Lisa Schorn is your person. We just closed on a house, and I can honestly say we wouldn't have made it through this process so smoothly without her. From day one, Anna-Lisa was a wealth of knowledge. We were exploring areas of town we weren't super familiar with, and she had insights on everything: schools, neighborhoods, safety, and the general vibe of each area. She never once made us feel like we were asking too many questions or had too many concerns. She also seems to know everyone. Every time we needed a contractor, inspector, or repair company, she had a trusted recommendation ready to go. And these weren't just names from a list, these were folks who clearly respected and enjoyed working with her, which says a lot about who she is professionally. Most importantly, she was lightning fast with communication. Texts, calls, emails--you name it, she was on it. No ghosting, no radio silence, no "I'll get back to you next week" energy. Just consistent, clear, and friendly communication every step of the way. Anna-Lisa is the kind of realtor who makes you feel like you're her only client, even though she's clearly a powerhouse juggling plenty. We feel incredibly lucky to have worked with her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone buying (or selling) in the area.

Joe came recommended from a close work friend of mine and I am so incredibly happy I went with her recommendation and didn't waste time trying to follow any other leads. Joe is incredibly knowledgeable and ensured our comfort throughout the whole process. He explained everything, checked in frequently, and didn't mind that we dragged him all over the corners of Lacey and Olympia as we exhausted every type of home we could think of (well over what google says is the average number of homes people see before committing - thanks for your patience Joe). I felt he represented us well during the closing; he negotiated money back after the inspection and it was approved, he thought of everything. If I could do it all over again, I'd pick Joe and his team again. Shoutout to Charlie Carr as well for his critical role as well. Closing was a breeze - something like in just 17 days with his preferred lender (Eric Lake) who we would also hands down work with again. Overall, I can't recommend enough.

First off, I would like to be clear I did not hire Wes Neal as my realtor. I was a buyer for a…read morehouse he was representing as the seller's agent. My complaint is coming from the buyer's side as he made this transaction process extremely difficult for myself and my agent. Anyone buying a home and Wes Neal is the realtor for the seller, BEWARE! From the beginning he lacked clear, transparent communication skills with my realtor. Wes was hard to reach, ignored specific questions, and seemed quite shady. He hired his own family member to paint the house, which was performed in a deplorable manner and was not done the way it had been agreed to in the 35R. He went past deadlines with zero communication or reasons why he had been unable to respond. In this specific transaction Wes appeared to me to be unprofessional, rude, disorganized, and broke the Washington State Realtor Code of Ethics (which he is a member) Preamble Article 1 which states that realtors are obligated to treat ALL parties honestly. He blatantly lied about when he called a septic inspector to come out to the house. The inspector confirmed it happened 3 days prior not 2 weeks prior as Wes told my agent. Although, the failed septic turned into a blessing in disguise as I am now purchasing a much better home, it was a devastating blow at the time. Wes also failed to let me out of the transaction after stating the seller was unable to perform the needed work to make the house uo to county standards to sell. Wes proceeded to hold the house on the market in pending status after we ended out contract. In my opinion, this realtor is one to watch one to avoid at all cost if he is selling a home you wish to buy.

If you wan to do business with a person who cares, who has true integrity and a THOROUGH knowledge of the mortgage business, St. Julien Home Loans is where to find it.

It's unlike any other agent I've worked with. Most agents will post their cell phone pics on the MLS and call it good. Shane and Lisa call in multiple professionals and work as a team. Every house I've shot for them has had some sort of fixture replaced, a deep cleaning, something painted (if not the whole house), concrete cleaned, windows washed, modern house numbers added, plants/sod/potting soil added. Once all that is done, they'll bring in the stager and photographer. Then they'll market the house on multiple social media channels and have a custom URL website for the property. I know I'm missing something because the extent they go to is overwhelming. I don't know how they do it and still have time to sleep. If I was going to intrust ANYONE to sell my house - it would be without a doubt, Shane and Lisa Klinkhammer. They make the world a better place and deserve so, so much more.

Shane is a not just a good real estate agent, but an exceptional one; he is by far the best one we've ever had. What stood out right away when we met him is his great desire to help us find the ideal home for us. He worked with us for several weeks before we made our house-hunting trip from LA by providing us on a daily basis the homes we would be interested in and helped us compile a top-20 list based on our specifications. Its very apparent that he loves serving people and has a tremendous enthusiasm for the business of real estate. It also doesn't hurt that he is backed up by his extremely capable wife, Lisa, who is the brains and logistics expert behind Shane's energy and drive. They provided us with a binder that contained details of each home on our daily tour and pertinent information on the community - maps and data on shopping, stores, restaurants, and schools. He's not that super-extroverted personality who talks a lot, but has that just right touch of providing all the necessary information on a community that we were driving and then waiting to listen to our reactions to the community and the home. He has that winning personality and sense of humor that you feel very happy and comfortable with and driving the properties turned out to be very pleasurable task rather than a boring chore. For every home we visited, he had helpful remarks on layout, good and not-so-good features and where we might need work done. He helped us compile a list of our top-5 properties and, when it came time to settle on our first choice and make an offer, he helped us figure out advantages and disadvantages of each one, rank them, and strategize our approach. We never had a shred of doubt of his honesty and integrity and that he was completely on our side. Shane also has an extensive network of support entities of mortgage brokers, appraisers, inspectors and handy men, and knew most of the listing agents. We were extremely lucky to have the Kilnkhammer team help us find our dream home and count our blessings that we had them looking out for our interests.

I am from The Black Hills area and moved to Seattle a while back. This past year, I decided I was…read moreready to stop paying the ridiculous rent in Seattle and purchase my own place. When I was home for the holidays, I ran into Beth shopping in Tumwater. After we did some catching up, she told me about her new business. I promptly told her about my intention to purchase in Seattle. I had put out some feelers in Seattle for an agency to work with, but hadn't felt comfortable with the large organizations. Beth gave me her word that she would come to Seattle and work her tail off to help me get a place. I won't bore you with the details of the search, but it took some time. Seattle is a very tough market and every place we looked at would easily get 10+ competitive offers. These offers would usually drive bids to 100K over the asking price. This would have been extremely frustrating and intimating for me, however, I had Beth. Beth never backed down, and did not let any larger organization agent push us around. This was a huge learning curve for me, but she never left my side. She walked me through the different processes, helped me understand what the best options for me was, would come up at a moments notice to look at a hot property, and just cared for my well being. Her assistance didn't end when I finally won a bid, she stuck around and meticulously helped me through the loan process as well. She was with me when I signed papers and continued to follow up after closing. My experience with Thunderbird Real Estate, and Beth Johnson was outstanding. If you are in The Olympia/Tumwater area or In Seattle like me, you will be doing yourself a disservice if you don't use Thunderbird as your real estate agency. They really are the best and really do care for their customers.

Furthermore, she will go far and long for her clients, traveling around Thurston County, Lewis County, Pierce County, King County (in my case) and more. As a team, Leslie and Beth work together to negotiate the best deals for their clients. I highly recommend Thunderbird Real Estate to any potential home buyer or seller in Western Washington. I know that Leslie and Beth will work hard to make sure you have the best experience you possibly can. I know they absolutely did for me.
