He listened to exactly what my wife and I wanted - and within a week we found our dream home (from out of state!). After I flew out to check out homes, Grant made sure to meet with me at several homes. A huge win thanks to Grant's communication and customer service. He was responsive and quickly returned any questions, concerns, or comments. Very down to earth, honest, and friendly.

When my fiancé and I first contacted Liz, it was primarily to see if we would qualify to purchase a…read morespecific property we had our eye on that was on the market. After our initial conversation with her, we didn't expect to move forward with the home buying process so soon, but we did. I remember telling my fiancé right after we ended our conversation with Liz that I wanted her to be our agent. I truly appreciated how people centered, passionate, and incredibly knowledgeable she is about the process. She made us feel completely comfortable asking questions and helped us clearly understand what the home buying journey would look like. Liz never made us feel rushed or pressured into anything. She truly respected our pace and guided us with patience and understanding every step of the way. Since my finance and I currently live in Los Angeles, Liz took her time to tour several homes that we were interested in. All of the videos she sent to us were extremely thorough and informative which made our process easier. It felt like we were actually there although we were miles away. We really appreciate Liz for taking the time to record and share the tours with us while giving us her opinion on things that stood out to her that were concerning. This is something we would not have been able to pick up on since we were not present. Liz really listened to what we were looking for in a home and she delivered. We cannot recommend her enough! She is truly an AMAZING agent to work with. We're beyond thankful for Liz and The Porchlight Group. If we ever decide to buy another home in the future, we are absolutely going back to her! IN LIZ WE TRUST!!

Being in Las Vegas but looking for a place in Seattle and not knowing ANYONE or where or how to even begin the process. I used YELP for what is here for...to find businesses and read reviews. I searched Realtors and started to read reviews. After reading several reviews I knew I wanted to go with a smaller vs. a bigger company (where they might hand you off to whoever or you get lost in the shuffle). SOOOOO glad I went with Liz! I really believe that things happen for a reason and people come into your life for a reason. From the first time I spoke to her she had a great energy and vibe and I knew she was going to be a hustler. I was already impressed from the get go! In the beginning I explained what my husband and I were looking for, (which I thought were pretty strange requests criteria...because this condo was going to be used for our employee, it needed to be within a certain proximity, near the airport and within our budget). Liz just rolled with it and got on it. I think it was that night or the next we were already Facetiming a property we were interested in...that's how quickly she was on it! BTW she gives great video commentary and is thorough and honest with her review of the places. Not being there and actually seeing something in person for such a large purchase is kind of scary, but it truly was a great experience that I wasn't expecting. She listened and cared about our opinions and was never pushy. So right now the market is CRAZY!! We put in about 3-4 offers starting in February and kept getting outbid by cash offers and waiving everything. Finally we found something that was perfect for us and had keys and were moving in on April 8! We got to do a little fixer upping (Liz helped with finding a contractor) and was able to pick out flooring, paint and light fixtures, to our liking, all for asking price (seller was throwing in some $). BEYOND impressed with Liz and her team! From start to finish and all throughout the process Liz always kept in touch and updated with what was going on. Almost daily emails with new listings or possible places then following up with which ones we were interested in seeing. She was ON TOP of it! Not sure how she keeps it all straight because you will feel as if you are her only client (which I know we weren't), with how dedicated and on top of it she is. She was very knowledgeable, patient, kind, generous and helpful in SO MANY WAYS! You will NOT regret choosing her and her team to buy or sell your home! Just give her a call and she will get right on it...because she can't help it and truly loves what she does, and also loves to work! lol

As a single mom I was super worried about making big moves but I was quite intrigued with her because she had accomplished my goals plus more. From woman to woman, I am so glad I met her because she had my best interest at heart. After I told her what my plans are, she told me things I need to avoid that no one else had brought up before and things I may want to consider instead to save money and time. Thank God! I would have put myself in a bind if she didn't advise me. Today I own multiple homes and because of her, I saved so much! Heartache, stress as well as financially. I will always go back to her with all of my real estate plans. So it's been a while and I lost her number. I found her again through Yelp and I'm so glad. She has helped many people buy and sell in my price range. I trust her to be honest and upfront with me if my plans are good, bad or have issues I should be careful with. Thank you Thu!! You have been awesome! I can't explain how grateful I am to have you! P.S. Thank you for always answer me so quickly! Best response time agent!

Thu, thank you so much the detailed report and all the tips to get my home ready. You're super sweet! Appreciate your patience with me! I know I asked a lot of questions. ;)

My…read morehusband and I decided to take the plunge and buy our first NW home, and I started discussing with Jana about where to begin. I had lots of questions and I felt comfortable talking to her right off the bat...she and her team listened to our needs and concerns, and Jana got right to work searching for potential homes. We were under a time constraint - and it was over the holidays to boot. Jana understood our needs and was incredibly efficient. Even during time when she had to be out of town, she left us in the hands of another amazing realtor during her absence. When the time came that a seller accepted our offer and the ball started rolling, Jana was two steps ahead all along the way...thinking of every concern and even bringing things to our attention that we had not thought of. Even weeks after closing, I have been able to contact Jana several times when I needed a helpful ear and some sound advice. Jana has a way of looking at things from every angle, and she has a vast knowledge of the real estate world and every aspect that touches it. But...not only is she a top notch realtor, she is also an amazing person as well. I feel like we have gained a friend, and I would not hesitate to recommend here to anyone who is looking to sell or purchase a home.

I hired Mary to sell a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo, and right from the start she was thorough, optimistic, and grounded in reality. Her comps had a wide range but expertly excluded nearby condos with a similar square footage but that always fell into a higher price range (I'm thinking of a nearby complex that confused a lot of comps). And she was very communicative in general and by text and email, and passionate about details of staging and listing. She helped organize needed repairs prior to staging, staged the home wonderfully, and was always at least a step ahead in anticipating the buyers' requests, negotiation tactics, and how we could counter. And she was always ready to put in the work to understand the options and help me with anything that needed to be done -- she even researched children's hospitals in the area (this came up) and sold some of my furniture. I felt safe having Mary as my agent. She did an amazing job negotiating, communicated well, and was compassionate and easy to work with. There are a lot of variables when selling a home, and Mary gave me peace of mind because it was clear that she knew what to do and could tame any problem that came up. Again, I cannot recommend her strongly enough.

My wife and I are both first-time homeowners and we began knowing very little about the process…read more Jeff Knapp was able to take us under his wing and we really could not have asked for a better agent. We entered a competitive market and it took us almost a year before finding our home. We both have varying schedules and Jeff was always flexible in finding times to tour different houses. Jeff is super knowledgeable about different builders and build quality and was always honest in his assessments (good and bad) of different homes. He often was able to point out important things that we would have never even thought of as 1st timers and so we really appreciated having both his expertise and knowing that we could trust his advice. His style was very much one of providing us information and his own experience, but we never felt pressured at all at any point. He largely let us dictate the pace (maybe why it took a year) and never once felt like a "salesman". When it came to putting in our offer, Jeff was also incredibly helpful. The Josh Hall team apparently has a great relationship with our loan company and this relationship allowed us the prompt and streamlined communication needed be successful in this competitive housing market. (The sellers actually moved up their offer review date and when we found out that they were reviewing that night, Jeff and Thalia were able to get our loan approval and draft an offer in less than an hour.) They also knew a few "tricks" that I assume are not super well known for adding a little extra spice to our offer. Overall the communication amongst all of the Josh Hall team was excellent. All business was handled incredibly efficiently on their side. Jeff was super friendly, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. The entire experience was stressful by nature, but Jeff and company made it as fun and easy as possible. Highly recommend!

You will be thankful to work to work with this professional team that will keep you up to date throughout the whole process, buying or selling!

Then, when the time was right, she connected us with an amazing local agent. Eventually we bought the house next door directly from our neighbor. Even though there was no commission in it for her, Marguerite was always happy to make recommendations, advocate for us, and provide vendor recommendations for inspections and repairs. The service Marguerite provides is really unique. We love her realness and honesty as well as her real estate expertise, and we know she will always give us great service and advice.

Scott and Molly prepared our house for sale while we were living across the country, and they handled every detail as if it were their own home. They oversaw significant repairs, coordinated pre-listing inspections, and made sure the house was in outstanding condition before it ever hit the market. Throughout the process, they were incredibly mindful of our budget while still moving quickly and efficiently to get everything done. They were thoughtful about comps to ensure we were strategic on pricing. Once the home was listed, they kept us informed every step of the way, providing thoughtful feedback after open houses and showings and offering expert guidance throughout the process. Their strategy and execution paid off: we received a full-price offer with no contingencies and a quick close. I truly can't say enough good things about this team. If you're looking for agents who are knowledgeable, responsive, strategic, and willing to go above and beyond for their clients, Scott and Molly are the best in the business.

We had a unique situation, selling the house of a family member after their death, and with one party living in Canada, and Scott & Molly made it the most seamless process you can imagine. And this was including major renovation, building walls, refinishing floors, replacing carpets and repainting the entire house. They handled every bid, every contact, we trusted their network and their expertise and all we ever had to do was approve a bid via email, or make payments electronically once work was completed. I've worked with several agents over the years and it wasn't until Scott and Molly that I knew how much work I had previously done during buying and selling. This was a project that involved significant grief and a very special home and Scott and Molly delivered on every count. They helped us understand every step along the way, were very clear & prompt in communicating and we managed to get well over asking in a very tight market. I will sing their praises everywhere I can. Thank you Scott and Molly.
