She was professional and very responsive. She went out of her way to make the experience as easy as possible, everything from providing timely information to reaching out to Title, Insurance, and HOA people to get things moving in the right direction. With Carrie's help we sold our house in a week, well above asking price. Highly recommend her if you need help selling or buying your next home.

Troy & Michelle were amazing! They walked us through our sale step by step and were extremely…read moreknowledgable on a variety of deeper questions we had. They were accommodating with meeting times and places. They were terrific about keeping us updated on status and checking in with the other agency/escrow to make sure we were always on track.

New to Seattle and looking for a realtor to help us buy, we found Troy recommended on Dave Ramsey's…read morewebsite...and we are so glad we did! From day one, Troy and Michelle have been so incredibly responsive; always answering their phones, immediate email responses, and proactively calling to check on us throughout the process. The level of service they provide can't be beat; Michelle knew we had a toddler and sent us daycare centers in the new neighborhood, they had the house rekeyed for us the day after we closed, and when the house was left to us in a messy state, Troy and Michelle immediately scheduled their cleaner come to the house to take care of it before we had even seen it. As a realtor, Troy is calm, patient, and realistic. I appreciate his calm demeanor, different from other hyper relators we've worked with who want to be quick to close a deal. Troy made sure we found the right house for us, and took the time to understand what we were looking for. Whether we are selling or buying again, Team Troy is our Seattle/Eastside realtor from here on out.

As I entered retirement my wife and I decided to sell our second home in Kent and retire out of…read morestate. The home needed a lot of updating and repairs to bring it up to a marketable condition. At first I thought that I could do minimal repairs and updates and sell it myself. I soon realized that accomplishing this task while my resources were out of state proved to be unwise. Next I considered selling it as is. At this point a knowledgeable agent who I could trust was in order. I have known a number of agents over the years. I ultimately chose Howard due to his extensive experience and knowledge in real estate. Having known something of his past dealings before he became an agent I felt that he would be the best to answer important questions that I had about the current market, a marketing plan, and our expected return. He answered all of my questions satisfactorily and ultimately we hired him as our agent. Howard clearly understood what the end goals were for preparing our home for listing. At times the project seemed to be overwhelming but with Howard's guidance and calming demeanor he was able to guide us through the project from beginning to end. If you are considering buying or selling we highly recommend Howard as he truly knows the business and understands the market. He is a skilled negotiator and gets the job done with a "win-win" agreement! I would like to add that in the early 1980s I was a licensed real estate agent for a few years and so I have a basis to make a comparative analysis of Howard's skill, knowledge, and performance.

Making the decision to buy a home is stressful. Not only were we concerned about costs but as…read moreparents of 4 children, my wife and I wanted to make sure the home and area fit our needs. We needed somewhere spacious and affordable with a good school district. We also wanted to live in a family-friendly area with a low crime rate. It didn't seem realistic until we met with Howard to discuss the possibility of taking a big step and buying a home. He showed us that it was very much possible. Not being from the area myself, it was nice to talk to someone who had lived in the area for many years and raised a family in Washington. He knew a lot about each city and neighborhood and was able to answer all of our questions. He was very patient and understanding as he took the time to show us many different homes. His non-pushy approach made us feel comfortable and we didn't feel pressured to choose a home that we didn't feel 100% sure about. His background in real estate investing was helpful because he was able to give us tips on making simple changes on a budget to certain things we didn't like about different homes. I'm happy to say that after weeks of searching we found our perfect home. I appreciate all the hard work he put into helping our family find a home that fit all of our needs and for making it a smooth experience for us. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in buying a home. Thank you Howard!

We would strongly recommend Matt to our friends and family in the area…read more We met with several realtors before choosing to work with Matthew to sell our home in Bellevue, WA. Matt wasn't the lowest rate, the highest sale volume, nor did he cite a substantially higher sale price. But his recommendations on prep/staging/marketing; his full-service, detailed, and organized approach; and our ability to speak honestly about expectations really stood out. We also appreciated that he recommended ways to highlight the unique touches in the home, rather than (literally) whitewashing everything as some other realtors advised. His approach magnified the things we loved about the home and the care we put into maintaining and improving it. We were out-of-state during the majority of the sale, and relied on Matt and his team very heavily for sale preparation. He made proposals, got quotes, and oversaw work. Matt was upfront about whether he thought each suggested improvement would pay for itself, and actively advised against changes other realtors had suggested that he didn't think were worth it. He was always clear that it was our decision and also happily accommodated us doing some of the work ourselves. Because of his and his team's diligence we were able to hit our target list date, with a house that was shown in its best light. The local market had become more uncertain: markets were softening and a similar house down the street was sitting on the market after weeks, despite a price drop. We adjusted our intended list price (still within his initial range) and our expectations, but Matt remained confident in the home and how it would show. We got an under-asking offer early, and Matt went into overdrive to solicit additional offers. Ultimately we got a very attractive at-list-price offer, the house went pending within a week of listing, and we had a very smooth closing experience. There's always luck involved, but we expect that with most other realtors it would have more work for us to get the house on the market and the sale price would have been lower.

Matt is the best realtor we ever have buying a property. He helped us bought a home in Issaquah in…read morea tricky market condition. He is extremely knowledgable and took time to walk us through the process and expectation. He was always communicative and very reliable whenever we have questions or need to look at some properties. We originally intend to be more passive while looking at houses and would take time to look through options. Matt was very receptive to that and always ensure we are truly comfortable with any decision we make. In the end, we got a new home pretty quickly also below the list price. The negotiation was handled expertly and any problems during the transactions were handled efficiently. I'd totally recommend Matt to anyone looking to buying a property actively or passively alike.

When we first moved to the state with zero knowledge of the area, Veronica was the one who helped us find a rental that felt safe and comfortable--she truly made that transition so much easier for us.

She never put any pressure on us and was always patient, supportive, and genuinely caring. She took the time to understand what we were looking for and guided us every step of the way.

Jennifer is a HOUND!…read more Let me explain, since that probably doesn't sound flattering. My wife and I were turned on to Jen at the beginning of October through a family friend, and we wanted to push forward the process to move in faster, since rates are so good and prices are still low. Jennifer and her partner Julie busted hump to get us listings in our area that followed our parameters, and sped us through the offer phase, barely squeezing in our offer before any others could be signed. And she fought for our price very aggressively. I'd recommend her to any of my friends or family in a hearbeat.

Jennifer helped me with my first ever real estate sale of my condo, and I can't imagine a better…read moreexperience! She went above and beyond every step of the way, explaining all of my options to me, and counseling me on what she recommended as the best approach, but ultimately empowering me to make all of the decisions based on the scenarios she laid out and the information she helped to provide. I wisely followed her suggested approach each and every time, and each and every time it worked out to my benefit, greatly exceeding the sales expectations for my place and ensuring the smoothest possible process along the way. She helped chase vendors for me, and had great suggestions and even some discounts on third party contractors to do necessary repairs. When we discovered a leak during pre-inspection - the responsibility of the HOA and the upstairs neighbor to address - she politely but persistently chased the HOA and the neighbor to ensure the work was completed ASAP. She ensured the place looked IMMACULATE for the photos and the open house and, as she predicted, we had competing offers and a confirmed buyer well over asking price within two days of the open house! All of this is enough to rate her an A+++++++. But then, two weeks before closing, she really demonstrated how much care she puts into her work and taking care of her clients when she called me with the news that someone had broken into my unit, which I'd already moved out of. She decided to swing by "just to check on it" and found the break in - and thank god she did otherwise who knows when we would have discovered these squatters! Luckily there was no damage done because Jen caught it so early, but she took all the necessary action on my behalf, getting in touch with the police to ensure they kept an extra watch on the area and even continually stopped by to ensure all was ok during the two weeks until I signed the final papers knowing that I was 30 minutes away. Talk about above and beyond!!!! Jen had my best interests in mind every step of the way, and gave me so much piece of mind during my first time through the often overwhelming and confusing process of selling a house. I've been raving about her nonstop to my friends and family and, although I'm not usually a frequent Yelper, wanted to share even more broadly what a great experience I had. If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! But just know that if you're lucky enough to work with Jen, you will be in GREAT hands.

I suggested that we meet at a location…read moreand time that was convenient to me (5 minutes travel time for me and at a time later in the day that worked with my schedule). Maverick said that he did not have time later in the day, so he wanted to meet in about an hour at a location that was less convenient for me (about 20 minute drive). I adjusted my plans for the day to accommodate Maverick, and agreed to meet at the time and location that he requested. I showed up at the agreed upon time and location, but Maverick was not there. After 20 minutes went by, I texted Maverick to ask why he was not there. He texted me back that he was busy and wanted to meet later in the day. I had already changed my plans for the day to accommodate him and already wasted 40 minutes for Maverick (I still had a 20 minute drive to get home). I decided not to waste any more time dealing with Mr. Maverick, so I chose not to sell these items to him. The crazy thing is that he had the audacity to give me a bad review after I was extremely accommodating to him and he totally disregarded our agreed meeting time and location. Based on my experience, I suggest being skeptical if you have interactions with of Maverick Molina.
