Tammy knows the market extremely well and knows what buyers are looking for. She helped us sell our house quickly by guiding us through a home facelift before placing our home on the market. She priced the home to sell and it sold quickly! read more

Tammy is a very knowledgeable and dependable real estate professional. She is very friendly and extremely comfortable to communicate with while conducting business with integrity and efficiency. Tammy understood my goal precisely and efficiently located multiples properties within my budget for me to evaluate. She always kept my best interest in mind to conduct the negotiation, which consequently reduced the purchase price and earned significant budget for repair and maintenance after closing. Tammy's courtesy help continued even after the transaction. She helped me find and negotiate with the professionals that I need and provided her experience in the repair and maintenance of the newly acquired property. I am very grateful to Tammy for her guidance to complete the complicated real estate acquisition that meets my goal without stress. read more

Working with Tammy made a stressful experience joyful. As first time homebuyers expecting their first baby, who were also new to the area, naturally we had a lot of questions. We could lean on Tammy for her expertise, and what might be right for us as new parents, commutes, our dog, etc., Tammy was patient walking us through the market and all of our questions. We are grateful for Tammy, and we found the perfect first home to start our family. read more

As mentioned in another review, Tammy is amazing and conducts business with integrity and dedication. A little over 10 years ago, Tammy helped me purchase my first property in Seattle. Being my first home, I had no idea what to expect and what the process was. Tammy was patient with me, kept me informed, and provided guidance every step of the way. Fast forward to 2023 and I'm finding myself starting the next chapter of my life back in California. Of course I asked Tammy to be my selling agent. She staged the condo beautifully, held open houses, and provided me with prompt feedback from showings. Once again, she gave me guidance and advice with regards to the challenging market. With her expertise, we found a buyer and just closed today. It has been a true pleasure working with Tammy both, as a buyer as a seller. She never made me feel pressured into making any decisions I was uncomfortable with but was always open and honest with me with her opinions. You can rest assured that you're in good hands working with Tammy! read more

We got to know of Tammy Chen through a referral from a friend, and it was apparent to us from Day 1 that we were in good and experienced hands. Beginning our search as first time home buyers with limited knowledge, and looking back as homeowners today, we wholeheartedly attribute our evolution to Tammy's personal strengths. She listened very closely to our needs and quickly created an initial list of homes for our consideration. From there, she was very attentive to our feedback and proactively fine tuned listings to those that might interest us. Along the way she regularly counselled and educated us on the important aspects of evaluating and buying a home. She also provided her own objective analysis of every home we saw, but was always willing to give us the patience, time and space to make our own decisions. She was always a quick call/text away to make us feel heard and supported throughout the process. When we finally found the home we wanted, Tammy was quick to provide us with good strategic advice and help draw up a competitive offer. She kept in constant touch with updates through the closing process and gave us a lot of advice on home ownership. We are truly grateful to have Tammy with us through our home buying journey. The home buying process can be quite stressful in the current market conditions. As a first time home buyer, you want to have a realtor who will give you the help, advice and education to successfully navigate this market and walk into your new home fully informed about its positives and negatives (yes, there are always a few) and feel assured that you made the right decision. We very highly recommend Tammy Chen because you will get all of these and hopefully much more. Good Luck!!! read more

My fiancé and I were moving to the Seattle area from California, and looking to buy our first home right away. As such, we really wanted a realtor with robust local knowledge and great communication skills. We knew we would have to rely on our realtor's knowledge of the area and certain neighborhoods since we were so new to the area. That's where Tammy and her group come in. We worked primarily with her teammate Kevin Ma while Tammy provided her expertise and oversight on the entire process. Kevin is a local who grew up in Bothell, and as such he was able to provide insight into every neighborhood we looked at. And we looked at SO many neighborhoods. We initially wanted to target the East side of Lake Washington, but with the market being so competitive we ended up seeing houses all over - from Edmonds/Shoreline, to Lynnwood, to Newcastle and Renton, to the Eastside. Through it all Kevin was able to provide knowledge on school districts, YoY growth, nearby eateries, and truly paint a picture for us of what it would be like to live in each locale. In general, Kevin and Tammy helped us so much in our search, and went above and beyond our expectations of what a realtor would do for us. What's more, the Seattle real estate market is extremely competitive, and required almost daily updates and many last-minute house viewings. Speed is of the essence in this market, and they were always quick to book us showings the moment a house came on the market, and to reach out to Listing Agents the moment we saw it and decided we were interested. Both Kevin and Tammy were available to us almost all hours of the day and night, and of course on weekends. They both were also extremely responsive over text and phone. When we finally found what is now our house, it was a situation where we had to move FAST to be the first offer on the table. Kevin didn't hesitate once, and used his negotiating skills to build a relationship with the Listing Agent to ensure that our offer would get accepted. And it worked!! Now we live on the East side (we ended up getting one of our most preferred locations!) in a home that we can't believe is ours. On top of everything I've said above, Kevin and Tammy were not only an amazing realty team for us but they also became friends throughout the process of home-shopping together. Kevin is now my go-to for local restaurant recommendations :) And Tammy is someone we will likely continue to reach out to for advice on all things home-owner! We can't wait to have them over for dinner at our new home, to show off the product of all their hard work on our behalf! We would most definitely like to work with them in the future, and can strongly recommend them to anyone who is house shopping in the Seattle area. read more

I recently purchased a home that I love, and I had the great pleasure of working with Tammy Chen as my realtor. As a result of her excellent skills and constant energetic attention to details, I was able to buy a house that I could never have dreamed of owning. Tammy knew exactly how to move through the buying process during what was a very slow and difficult housing market. She knew what to look for, when things should be done, and how much the price should be. She was always thinking ahead, and I learned early-on to take her advice in every area. I was never sorry that I did just what she suggested. Tammy was always correct in sensing exactly what should be done next, and how it should be done. Tammy always arranged her schedule to show me homes quickly and at a time that was convenient for me. She was very knowledgeable about everything to do with houses, inside and out, and pointed out features I would never have seen. When I needed to sign documents, she went through them with me point by point, so that I understood them completely, and she took all the time necessary to cover each of the topics until they were completely clear to me. She was always of service in every way and was happy to take the time to explain everything I asked. It was wonderful to be able to feel so comfortable and confident with how she was handling every part, since home buying could have been such a complicated and overwhelming process. I am exceedingly happy in my new home and have no plans to ever move again, but if I did need to sell, I would immediately choose Tammy Chen to be my realtor. read more

I'll open by stating six words/values that Tammy Chen is an embodiement of... Dedication, Integrity, Empathy, Genuinity, Preparedness, Timeliness Across more than a year Tammy has shepherded engagements for me to find my home. Ever so often she went above and beyond to ensure I was being given the right advice and even guidance that made it showed she was completely on my team. Never a delayed response and always super prepared with her research, before we responded to or built the offers. I'm definitely in awe of her professionalism and customer first approach of putting value over her margins. It's not often you find that & is what makes her stand out from the rest. Thanks again Tammy, for your expertise and care driven guidance! read more

We recently became interested in purchasing property in Bellevue, and Tammy was able to help us from the initial search through closing. Throughout the entire process she went above and beyond what one would normally expect, especially despite the difficulties of the pandemic. We live out-of-state, and we're unable to physically see the property. Fortunately for us, Tammy was able to serve as a surrogate in inspecting the house and acting as a liaison between the builder, escrow and bank. When the inspection uncovered a couple defects, Tammy was able to resolve them all with minimal efforts on our part. Tammy is a very responsible, experienced, and generous real estate agent that takes her work seriously as always. We highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase property around King County. read more

If there were a rating way beyond 5 we would definitely mark that extreme for Tammy and her teammate Maki. What really helped make this arduous 5 month, ~100 house viewings experience an enjoyable one for our family was the fact that we were very quickly made to feel that Tammy and Maki were investing time like they were buying their own homes. They went to immense lengths to educate us, entertain our every question, entertain home preference requests from each one in our family (all three in our fly had expectations at corners with each other and so common ground on a home was rare to come by). Importantly they preempted our requirements, needs and questions and hand held us through every little bit in the process and always found time immediately to take us out for viewings. We were never once turned down, rescheduled or where hey were late.. and that's super impressive! The icing on the cake was the intelligence and People/market reading skills that Tammy demonstrated along with her great domain subject matter expertise and amazing, amazing agility and presence. She landed an amazing deal for us. Maki on the other hand helped us through the viewings, the immense heavy lifting of suggesting homes, scheduling and even squeezing in viewings when not booked, just by using her social interaction skills to get us in. Always, upbeat and positive, we loved our time spent and thanks to that great positive attitude we know now we left no stone unturned. Tammy and Maki made it so. They were always-on and always-available! read more

Tammy Chen has been an excellent, reliable agent right from the very first step (meeting, searching for a home) until the end (closing date)--and every other step in between. She is always very quick to respond and extremely helpful in trying to answer all kinds of questions we ask as new homeowners, supporting us even after the purchase of the house was completed as we search for various repair people, etc., while navigating owning a home. We look forward to continuing to work with Tammy in the coming years. read more

Tammy Chen is not only an incredible real estate broker, she is a wonderful person. You will not find anyone more intelligent, resourceful and proactive.

She is tireless in her efforts, thoughtful and kind. It is a pleasure to work with Tammy. read more

We are so grateful to have Tammy as our realtor. We initially contacted her based on the 5-star Yelp reviews she received, and we could not agree more with them. During our quest to purchase investment property in the Seattle area, Tammy was great in educating us about the surrounding areas so we could define and target our search, especially helpful since we reside out of state. As an investor and property manager herself, she understands our requirements as well as wish list and is respectful of our budget. As a realtor, she works patiently and tirelessly to find us a suitable property, and then to make the real estate transaction seamless. She keeps us informed, addresses any concerns promptly, resolves issues quickly, and provides guidance and support throughout. She is thorough and takes the time to answer all questions (we have a lot) or does additional research if needed for an answer. Our first successful transaction with Tammy was in 2018. And as very happy repeat clients, we closed escrow on our second purchase through her again in June 2021. We are fortunate to have had her represent us for both purchases during times of a highly competitive market. We believe Tammy's professionalism and real estate savviness in negotiating gave us an edge over the competition and we credit her for getting our offers accepted. Additionally, we thank her for alerting us to a property which was not on our radar but is an incredible investment for us now. We trust and appreciate her being our agent, vetting listings and previewing property for us. Tammy goes above and beyond and is an absolute pleasure to work with! She is our go-to realtor, and we look forward to continuing to work with her on future transactions. We HIGHLY recommend Tammy if you are looking for property in or around Seattle! read more

Tammy is an amazing realtor. My wife and I trusted the Yelp reviews when we contacted her to buy our home and never looked back. As a first time home buyer, we did not know what to expect but she made the process easy and smooth. She was able to get us in to look at properties with minimal notice, on the very first day we met Tammy to understand the process, she showed us 2 houses. She is extremely patient and we never felt pressured at all to settle on a place. She is not just a realtor, but a trusted and reliable advisor with excellent local knowledge. She was always at least one step ahead, taking care of everything before we even considered it. She was always available, very professional and extremely knowledgable. Tammy was also able to negotiate with the seller to take $2000 off of the asking price, pay $10000 toward closing costs. Even after we moved into the home, she went above and beyond with her services and made sure we had everything we needed. We definitely would recommend Tammy to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a house and will seek her services again in a few years. read more

For my husband and I this was our first experience buying a home. I did some research and learned that the first step was to get a loan approval then to get an agent. So after getting the approval I called several agents that were recommended and waited to hear back and waited and waited and waited. This waiting was very frustrating for me. Our apartment lease was going to end soon and we really wanted to be in a house before then. While waiting for someone to call me or respond to my emails. I was browsing the internet for homes using Zillow, Redfin and then I happened to find this website called www.eastsidepowersearch.com. The cool part about that site is it specializes in houses selling on the east side of Washington where we were looking specifically to buy. I saw many homes on this site that I was very interested in so I made an account to save my favorites. Here came the part that surprised me in a good way. Within minutes of making this account I got a phone call. An agent named Tammy called and was ready to help answer any questions I had right then. She also asked if i would like to set up an appointment to come in and she could just explain the whole buying process if that was something I would like. That was the first reason I liked Tammy. The other agents I emailed or called didn't get back to me for days or weeks. Tammy on the other hand I never called or emailed I just started using that website and she called me 30 mins into my searching. We set up an appointment the very next day to answer all my questions and there was no obligation for her to be my agent. Of course I did choose her to be our agent and I am very happy we did. The very next day we were looking at houses that we were interested in. Tammy also took the time to find out exactly what we were looking for. I got daily emails from her of new houses out on the market that met the criteria we gave her. I really loved her responsiveness. Whether I called, emailed or txt there was a response same day usually same hour. We finally decided the house we wanted was this new build after looking at the model home. I was very excited and couldn't wait for our house to be finished. However i was skeptical about a house that wasn't built yet. I explained my concerns with Tammy. I loved the model home but I was nervous about buying a home that was not built. So she suggested we talk to our neighbors whose houses were built a year ago on our street by this builder and see what their experience was like. She went door to door and introduced herself and us to our neighbors. She asked if we could ask some questions and we were thinking about buying a home and just wanted to know how their experience was and if they like their home and if there were any problems and how were the problems addressed. This really put my mind at ease and I was excited again. During the whole buying processes Tammy was there looking out for our best interest and making sure the builders delivered what we agreed upon. My husband and I are very passive so Tammy was great because she had no problem asking for things and being aggressive in a professional way. For example we wanted blinds installed and the builder told my husband and I it was too late to get blinds installed.We just accepted what they said. Tammy called me10 mins later and said I saw the email where the builder said it is too late to get blinds but I just called them and now you are to get them. I didn't ask her to call or anything she just took the initiative. I felt like she did that a lot. She was helpful when she would call to ask how we doing, she reminded us of important dates, she gave recommendations when I asked for inspectors and handymen. I relied on her a lot. She was there at the walk through of our house. She made detailed notes to help us remember what needed to be fixed. After the fixes were made we referred to the notes to make sure it was done. She was always prepared and organized. She was early and on time to everything. The one time she came late we knew well in advance that she would be there 30 mins late and it was no big deal. i forgot to mention we had a newborn. Tammy was so nice. She would hold our daughter so we could go through the walk through with the inspector and the second time with the builder. She was very understanding when we were housing hunting when we had to take breaks so i could feed or change my baby. She is a mom too and she remembers those days. To sum up I would recommend Tammy to anyone because shes reliable, knowledgeable, Aggressive, Helpful. The whole time I just felt like she really cared and wanted us to be happy. read more

I have worked with Tammy on many transactions and want to let you all know you are getting a fantastic agent! I have seen how Tammy gets her hands dirty and gets the best deals for her clients. She has negotiated to get the seller to pay all the closing costs on transactions. She has gotten extra money from sellers for issues on inspections. In this market you need someone who is watching out for you and not missing a thing and I bleieve Tammy fits that bill. I love working with Tammy and look forward to working with her on her next closing! read more

We just closed on a purchase of our house, which concluded our half a year long search for a new home in a new state. Throughout the process, Tammy was personable, patient, helpful, knowledgeable, insightful, resourceful, practical, organized and honorable, all the qualities one could wish from a realtor. Her service is truly "above and beyond", as other clients of hers seem to agree. She is still helping us on many fronts (maintenance, remodeling etc) even after the closing. Particularly if you, like us, need to find a home in the area while being out of state, you cannot go wrong with contacting Tammy. To me and my family, she was Godsend! Oh, and don't get fooled by her sweet, lovely picture. She is indeed sweet and lovely in person, but she can be a tough negotiator on your behalf! read more

Just closed the sale of my house and working with Tammy has been delightful. She cares deeply about her customers: her advice is always spot on and in her customer's best interest. If you're looking for an agent she's a no brainer! read more

Tammy is objectively the best real estate professional in Washington State- this is not hyperbole. A few of the thoughts that come to mind when I think of my experience working with her over the past few years are subject matter expert, stellar negotiator, savvy business woman and outstanding person. My family moved to Washington State and this was a very challenging move but Tammy made things a little less painful as she worked with us while we were still out of state. She held my hand through the home purchase process paying attention to our needs but providing a (not forced) very rich perspective. She discouraged us from making offers when it was not in our interest, kept communication lines open and clear, offered guidance on myriad matters, acted as an advocate with sellers and represented us with a level of rigor and dedication that I have never seen in my decades of buying and selling homes across 4 different states. I experienced this exceptional service from every member of Tammy's team - Kevin, Maki and everyone I interacted with during the process. I was very particular and a bit uncompromising in my taste and needs in a wildly competitive market but Tammy and her team were patient, maintained laser-sharp focus on our goals, offered a balanced view and shared robust knowledge of issues I would never have given thought since we were new to the area. I can easily recount countless times when Tammy would speak with me late into the night and so many scenarios where her expertise and professionalism saved us from making monumental mistakes. I had the opportunity to view some homes before they came on the market because of Tammy's extensive and robust network. Watching Tammy negotiate on my behalf was an absolute delight and her ability to stay calm under immense pressure is unparalleled. She never once treated us as a deal that needed to be closed but consistently went above and beyond to ensure I could understand all issues at play. She patiently answered all of my questions and walked us through the implications of picking one house over another prior to committing including connecting me with some of the best vendors in the area (inspectors, construction outfits etc.). I am extremely fortunate to have worked with Tammy in purchasing a beautiful home at an impossible price and I am now working with her on another purchase. Needless to say, I will be working with her on selling and buying more homes for years to come. I recommend Tammy highly and without reservation. I sincerely hope you have the opportunity to work with her in the near future. read more

Tammy is the absolute best real estate agent we could have hoped for. Moving from out of state, we were worried about the whole process and how many moving parts there would be. From the very first meeting, Tammy was attentive, professional, and made us feel confident and calm. She did an excellent job getting to know us and what we were looking for- we felt like she was genuinely invested in helping us find exactly what we were wanting in a home. She has excellent instincts- she knew which house we would decide on even before we did! She communicated with us throughout the entire process, and went above and beyond our expectations when we were in the negotiating/offer phase. She worked closely with our mortgage lender under very tight time constraints to get in an offer on the house we wanted, and kept an eye on the whole process overall. She was patient and talked us through every step, answering our many questions as first time homebuyers and making us feel knowledgeable and prepared to make such a big decision. We couldn't be happier with the home we found and it would not have been possible without Tammy. We confidently and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home! read more

What can I say about Tammy? She's a rockstar. We initially started our search for a house over a year ago, but after having a bad experience with another realtor we put the search on the back-burner. We decided to give it another try and found Tammy. She listened to what we wanted and worked hard to find the perfect home for us. We really appreciate how incredibly responsive and patient she was. Tammy went above and beyond to keep us informed and guided us step by step through the entire process. She has a wealth of knowledge in real estate; combine that with her high level of commitment, I really don't think our purchase could have gone any smoother! read more

I worked with Tammy to sell my home in Seattle and she handled the process perfectly and professionally. We conducted the sale entirely remotely as I had already moved to another city, and she made sure that I was not only informed throughout the process, but that any questions or concerns I had were answered. She put on multiple open houses to attract interest when the home entered the market, and negotiated tactfully with buyers to get the best deal. I would definitely work with Tammy again and recommend her and her team with no reservations! read more

We could not have had a better experience. Miss Chen was very professional and informative. Unlike most realtors, she really listened and cared about what we were looking for. If you're looking for your perfect home, call Miss Chen, she will be happy to help. read more

Tammy did a fantastic job selling my home in Redmond. Originally I was just looking for someone to rent my house since my friends realtor has rented for 3 months and still haven't got it rented, even though she has asked me to lower down rent 3 times from $2900 to $2490. I found Tammy from Yelp, and she asked me if I want to sell the house as well. I was a little hesitate at beginning, since I don't want further bleeding at this time. but she suggested to do both, and within a week I got multiple offers for both rental and purchasing. it shows that how good a job marketing she does. after that, she has been attention to detail and follow the process all the way to end, and within a month I got my house sold at market price which I am very satisified. I will definately ask her help if I need to buy or sell again. and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her professional work to any of my friends. Tammy, Great job well done ! read more

We are so lucky to work with Tammy. It's our first house and we just rushed into a crazy market, you know, the price is sky high and it's still keep increasing. Tammy is very diligent and patient, every time we find some house, she will provide us with many details, such as the builder, the school, the neighborhood, etc. Every week, she will give us a list of the new listing house which she thought may fit us. Actually, the house we bought is her recommendation. After the deal, she help us to follow up all the process, the loan, the insurance... She is so helpful!!! read more

Tammy helped us close on our new Townhouse in Seattle late May, and we can't say enough about how great she has been as our real estate broker. She is very knowledgeable and has great connections to help us obtain a great mortgage broker, and escrow company. This house was a rental investment property for us--our very first. It was important for us to have an agent that had her own rental properties, as she was able to help us with the entire process of leasing the property out to tenants (teaching us how to list ads, screen tenants, and show our home to prospective tenants--she helped us set up accounts with RHAWA, and Landlordsolutions). Our home was rented out within 9 days of closing, including having the backyard paved and staged! She understands WA state tenant laws, and how to make sure we were compliant. She is very intellgent, responsive, professional, and has a very pleasant demeanor. A pleasure to work with and highly recommended. read more
