When we decided to sell our house and relocate to something with a little more property, John helped put everything in to layman's terms during the selling process. He laid to rest all concerns we had, and was transparent with all information the entire time. John and team were able to get us top dollar for our house, and closing was lighting fast. Hands down, couldn't be happier with the selling process. So much so, we asked for the the opportunity to represent us with our new house. Throughout the entire housing search, John and Jaime were on point; they listened to what we wanted and fully delivered. Every house for sale they sent our way we had to visit. To show the pure commitment that John Lynch Home Team stands by, (driving all the way from Orting) Jaime showed us houses in Centralia, Roy, Ocean Shores, Port Angeles, Shelton, Lake Bay, and even Long View! He easily drove over a thousand miles in two weeks to help us find our dream home. How many realtors do you know that will drive nearly all of western Washington for their client?!? There are not enough amazing things to say about Jaime and his commitment to seeing us in a home we love. Just like the selling process, our buying process was very swift and seamless; shortly after acceptance, we were signing paperwork and wiring money to close! On top of everything that John Lynch Home Team has done to sell our house, and buy a new home, their empathy and commitment didn't stop after singing on the dotted line. Three days after we moved in, we experienced an issue that required an electrician to come out and fix the issue to restore our power. Without skipping a beat, Jillian, from John Lynch Home Team had an electron on the phone who was able to come out after-hours and fix our power meter. The electrician worked for three hours and before 8pm, our electricity was restored and our lives went back to normal. I absolutely commend Jaime and Jillian of John Lynch Home Team. These three individuals are truly a team that puts the concerns of their clients as their highest priority. I will never hesitate to recommend and condone John Lynch Home Team to anyone serious about buying or selling a home. World-class service, right down the street.

Karla is knowledgeable, professional and friendly!…read more She was our buying agent on our first home back in 2011 and worked so hard to find us the most amazing home. She jumped through hoops for us and knew exactly how to compete with multiple offers and get us the home. We then had her list that home in 2016 and she had it sold within a week. We then had her find us our 2nd home and she was able again to make the deal with multiple offers. Fast forward to last week when she sold our 2nd home within 48 hours of being on the market and for well over asking. We are now currently working with her on finding property to build our dream home. She is great at her job and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor.

Karla Wagner is amazing, and we have worked with her for over 18 years. Karla sold us our house on…read moreLake Tapps back in 2004, when my husband and I first got married. She also sold each of our individual houses then as well! Over the years we kept in touch and when we decided to do a major remodel on our Lake Tapps home, she even took the time to come over to visit us and help us with deciding what remodel choices would give us the most return on investment to increase the value of our home. She sure didn't have to do that, but I am so grateful she did! When my husband and I decided to semi-retire and move to Spokane, there was no question who we would choose as our agent! We were so happy with everything Karla did to support us at every stage in during the process to sell our house this year. We decided to sell in Oct '21, with the goal of listing in April-May 2022. Based on Karla's advice, this was the best time to sell for the Lake Tapps market. She kept in constant contact with us as we prepared our house to sell, so that it looked its very best to potential buyers, and updated us on market changes. All her advice was invaluable, and I truly believe made all the difference in selling our house quickly, but also for top dollar. One thing I love the most about Karla is she is all about getting you the most return for your home. She is courageous and completely client-focused. She isn't one of those agents who will price houses lower than they need to be just to get the fastest sale, and really aren't truly on the side of the home owner.... they are about selling many houses fast. They don't care that this costs the owner money because they don't sell the house at the maximum price possible in a given market. This is really sad!! We all put so much financially into our homes, and they are usually our biggest investment. Karla is all about her client, period. She focuses on maximizing what she can get for her clients as individuals, whether they are buyers or sellers. She has such a personal, friendly, client-advocate approach. She isn't pushy, but will fight for her client like crazy to get the most for them when necessary. She also acted as an "umbrella" to sheild us from some of the craziness that we didn't need to deal with, because it would just stress us out, while always keeping us in the loop on what was important. Thank you!! In a nutshell, our house sold in May 2022 for WAAAAAAY more than we ever thought possible... and it sold in just 4 days!!!! Karla made the process easy, transparent and a positive experience for which I am beyond grateful. Thank you Karla from the bottom of our hearts!!!!

We know we can reach out and get our questions answered about the real estate market even if we aren't going to be buying or selling at that moment. There's never any sales pressure with her.

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.

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!!

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
