This review is for Ken Everaert, agent at John L. Scott in Ronald, WA…read more Ken has been an exemplary partner and advocate in our vacation home search and purchase. I'm grateful to him for his knowledge, expertise, and straightforward approach. Buying a place 100 miles from home is anxiety inspiring; Ken understood that and went out of his way to identify challenges we might have and how we could address them. Initially, I engaged Ken in 2013. I wasn't planning on finding a realtor to work with; he had listed a property I was interested in so I called him. That property didn't work out and we spent the next several years researching on our own, occasionally calling or emailing Ken when we had questions or thought something was interesting. In the Fall of 2015 we got focused on finding a place (albeit still uncertain about the exact location and how we'd use it.) Ken had kept in touch over the years (sharing properties, checking in, etc), and shown us a half dozen places so when it was time to start moving, I reached out to Ken. Ken's follow through is extraordinary. He usually responded to emails (even somewhat random ones) very very quickly. He was exceedingly patient in our process; I never felt like he had some place else he needed to be (he was always clear about how much time he had available) nor did I feel he wanted to land a transaction and move on. Ken served as an exceptional consultant on the area, the issues, the challenges, and how they could be dealt with or, in some cases, how they couldn't be (water rights.) I always felt that Ken had our best interests in mind, that he was genuine in his opinions, and that when appropriate, he would advocate for us as he thought best or as directed. Ken is very professional. I felt like he understood this was a significant financial transaction, that there tend to be lots of emotional elements to it and that those things need to be balanced. I also felt that Ken was incredibly personable without being intrusive; we always felt that any question Ken asked was so that he could get a better sense of who we were and what we were hoping to accomplish. He understood that this was a family focused endeavor and even remembered our kid's names two years after meeting them once. Ken is friendly, gracious and outgoing. In that respect, Ken is exceptional at being proactive without being pushy. He routinely would find things that he thought were interesting and share them (a listing coming back on the market, a property that might be worth investigating, etc.) Ken stayed with us before, during and after the sale. He didn't high-tail out of town once the closing docs were signed! After closing, we've had a few questions and Ken has graciously and enthusiastically connected with the sellers to help us get answers on a few things ("What color/mfg is that paint?"). I didn't set out looking to find Ken and I'm grateful that I did; in fact, the only way I'd be happier is if I'd picked him on purpose up front!

Terminated Agent for cause:…read more 1. Sellers stipulated that the property address not be included in the MLS. Contrary to this wish, the initial MLS included a photograph with address. The identical mistake was repeated when the property came back on the MLS after a pending sale period. 2. Agent was informed three separate occasions this property included an "Exemption Parcel" protocol for subdivision. Either the Agent lack of understanding on how to accomplish this protocol or unwillingness to confirm this process with Steve Moore of Central Washington Title and the County led to the potential buyer becoming extremely confused by the process. Going forward not knowing the correct procedure, the Agent informed buyer of requirements to supply water, power, septic, and road access to divided property. This is not required for "Exemption Parcel". Resulting from this misinformation, the Buyer became confused by the process and withdraw his offer. In addition, the buyer seemed to not have been advised of, or ignored, the contractual deadlines which resulted in the buyer forfeiting 1/2 of his earnest money. 3. In the initial interview, the Agent offered to pay for the septic and well inspections to ensure these inspections were done before Winter should the property remained unsold going into Winter and these inspections could not be performed. Later when questioned on this promise during a discussion of splitting the costs of a septic system design, the Agent had no recollection of having made the offer to pay the two inspection fees. 4. Agent was requested to copy both Sellers and Co-Agent in on all correspondence. Repeatedly this request was not followed. 5. During the initial listing meeting the Agent informed Sellers a "Broker Showing" would be conducted. To Sellers knowledge that was not done. 6. None of the other Leavenworth Properties Agents toured the property to the Sellers knowledge. 7. Recent texting communications regarding the two fuel tanks on site were less than accurate and created confusion. Seller Agents were aware of the Sellers plans to leave the fuel tanks on the property. Buyer had not voiced a request to have fuel tanks removed, yet Buyers Agent asked Sellers Agent if they were going to be removed. Sellers Agent passed this misinformation along and later apologized for creating the confusion by not clarifying just who had initiated the inquiry. 8. Seller stipulated from the beginning both Selling Co-Agents attend all showings. Selling Agents choose not to attend the September 2, 2018 showing by Buyers Agent Geordie, Windermere Realty during a critical milestone in the selling process.

CAMIEKAE Camie Kae Lynch is a whirlwind and a crackerjack!…read more My husband and I became interested in a house listed with Berkshire Hathaway and contacted the listing agent(s). Imagine our delight when despite an international time zone seller, this phenomenal agent was able to get an offer out and back; countered, and a second offer off and accepted in a 24 hour turn around. Then for her encore, Camie got us an immediate inspection of the house, enabling us to provide our earnest money securely; and she made direct contact with our lender to get the ball rolling on our financing. Throughout the 48 hours, Camie quickly executed documents and paperwork, took our phone calls, enabled multiple house viewings, and answered our countless questions; to facilitate a speedy, efficient process. All this, while respecting guidelines for a mean pandemic on behalf of her Nervous Nelly clients! Thank you, Camie. Thank you Berkshire Hathaway Leavenworth Properties. HANNAH ROSE My husband and I were very impressed with Hannah Rose Lynch, when we called to express our interest in a house listed with Berkshire Hathaway. Hannah was very knowledgeable and quickly put in motion our offer, while we bombarded her with a multitude of questions. She meticulously prepared paperwork immediately and worked tirelessly to make sure each document was thorough but dispersed rapidly. Hannah also helped ensure we saw the property as many times as we needed and clipped a quick, efficient pace, coordinating with her associate, Camie Kae. What a great, seamless team. We were delighted with Hannah's friendliness, kind spirit, and keen business sense. Her expertise was very appreciated. Thank you so much, Hannah Rose! Thank you Berkshire Hathaway Leavenworth Properties.

A TOTAL SCAM. NEVER STAY HERE. I would have given zero stars if that was an option…read more.. They will send you the second page of the contract, never telling you there was a first page. After you check out, they will then claim you agreed to pay for additional cleaning and debit it from your account without your consent. The contract states they will charge the first $250 the week prior to your stay, which they will not do, either. The staircase doesn't meet building code because there is no stair rail. My friend fell down and nearly killed herself because she was carrying 2 mismatched glasses circa 1950 that shattered. To add insult to injury they were not REMOTELY concerned about the building code or her injury. They charged us ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS. My friend has a bruised tailbone and can hardly sit. I could buy 2 shitty glasses like that at Value Village for 50 cents a pop. The shower will surge with hot and cold water and the light in one of the second floor bedrooms doesn't work. NEVER STAY HERE. It's a shame such corrupt people rent houses in what seems to be nice, quiet town.

We rented the Coal Bunker over 3 months in advance of our visit. We signed a lease agreement and…read morelooked forward to staying in town for 3 nights. On arrival the house was a disaster. No cleaning of the last tenants had been done. The employee was polite and apologetic and offered us alternative accommodations in town for which she said we would not be charged. We accepted. Our mistake was not getting every last stitch of communication in writing. Upon leaving I made sure they had the correct number of my Visa Debit card because I had had to have the card replaced after I had paid the deposit. The management company, Ewing and Clark completely ignored the redress their employee offered us and charged us the full amount. When I asked for the refund gave me back $27 dollars. The first night was supposed to cost $255 with $130 each night after. The alternate accommodation they found us supposedly books at $99. So even if they didn't COMP us and just refunded the difference between the agreed cost and the alternative room, it should have been either $156 or $39. I have no idea where they came up with $27 and their "explanations" never clarified that. In repeated inquiries and efforts to get them to fix their "error" I was basically told to shove off, as I had had a place to sleep and they aren't in the business of letting people stay places for free. Never mind that I lost a $400 camera in all the back and forth. Don't let the small town casual culture fool you. These people are hustlers. If you do business with them, get EVERYTHING in writing and signed and dated. They will try to check you in without any kind of paperwork or anything. Don't buy it. Get it all signed and notarized and have a witness, unless you feel like dragging yourself back to Washington state for a small claims court appearance. They count on people not wanting to expend their resources this way. They will cheat you if they can. Don't let them.

We contacted Rob Graham and because he could not show us the home he listed he sent us to his colleague. She was willing to show us the home until she found out we already have an agent. She is also the co-owner of the home. Our own agent cannot meet us there because we are coming into town last minute. I would skip this agency and choose another that is willing to work with you. It should not matter if you have an agent or not. The level of service is what matters. Now we know and can let others that are looking to buy homes in the area to choose another agency. BTW, we are not the only ones looking for homes and property in the area. We have already informed them to NOT choose this real estate agent!
