When I first called Julie, I was in front of a computer with a spreadsheet open. I was had a ton of…read morequestions, math problems, and a framework for comparing/choosing the best lender. When Julie picked up the phone, she too had a spreadsheet open, and we began the first of a few action-packed work sessions sending worksheets back and forth, crunching numbers and comparing options. 1. Julie is as sharp as she is sweet. She's super quick in answering everything, she catches the nonverbals (over the phone), if you enumerated 5 things, she will circle back to all 5. 2. After reviewing all the options, she recommended one. After I tinkered with it to see if I could find something better, I could not. What she recommended was the best, and yet she patiently ran all the other numbers anyway to give me peace of mind. 3. When you get Julie, you get a team. When I actually made the offer on the home, Julie was on vacation (which she was very clear about from the beginning). Cameron Murray who was also on vacation, took my call while skiing and got me a new pre-approval letter with the address of the new house to make it stronger. Amanda Thompson also collected all the documents needed for a solid underwriting. I was 100% supported. 4. On the note of team, Juls Huggins requires a bullet point all on her own. There's a reason all of the other reviews gave Juls a special mention. According to Gmail, I received 5 emails from Juls for every one email from Julie. She is supportive, responsive, is the glue that coheres the entire process together, and is there to help with even the little things like recommending a home insurance company. Best of all, they're all very sweet, personal, and sincere. Buying a home for a family is a deeply personal process and I can feel their genuine joy and excitement for my family. They celebrate with you. I am so happy to give this review.

Julie and the team are amazing and so friendly! I was dreading the lending process for buying a…read morehome in Seattle, but Julie and Darby made the process so easy. Julie and team were so engaged and responsive in the process and took their time with us to talk about the numbers. Julie is super sharp, extremely knowledgabe, and we liked her math and spreadsheets that helped us break down all the costs. Throughout the entire process my wife and I felt very comfortable working with Julie and her team and that everything was very transparent. We had a fairly agressive closing date and Julie's team was able to turn everything around so that we were able to close on time. If you want less stress and a more responsive lending team, go with Julie Jones!

I have spent 26 years working on the multifamily property management side of real estate, so…read morethroughout my career I have worked with a lot of real estate professionals. When it came time for us to buy a home in another state while also juggling a move, work, and selling our current home, I knew exactly what I did and did not want from an agent. Ashley is hands down my favorite real estate agent I have ever worked with. We are probably not typical buyers, and I also know that I am not the easiest client in the sense that I am busy, opinionated, know the industry, and absolutely do not want to manage the person I hired to help me. Ashley figured out our style almost immediately. There was no learning curve, no handholding, no endless unnecessary phone calls. She just got to work, kept us informed, and did exactly what she said she was going to do when she said she was going to do it. Her communication is exceptional. She was detailed, clear, responsive, and incredibly proactive. She would send an email with everything we needed to know and then text to make sure we knew it was there. If she was going to be unavailable for a few hours, she told us. We never wondered what was happening, what came next, or whether something was being handled. She was equally impressive during negotiations. We went back and forth with the sellers several times, and Ashley helped us weigh the pros and cons without ever pushing us in one direction. Her comps were excellent, her advice was practical, and when we needed more information, she immediately had trusted vendors lined up to evaluate things and provide bids so we could make informed decisions. And when I say she handled things, I mean she HANDLED them. We had a very short closing timeline, and Ashley scheduled vendors, met them at the house, attended the inspection, coordinated bids, followed up on repairs, and went back to the property more than once to make sure the sellers actually completed what they had agreed to complete. There were several points where the transaction could have become incredibly stressful, and Ashley somehow remained completely calm, cool, and zen through all of it. That may be one of my favorite things about her. She takes the pressure off. She is direct, honest, organized, reliable, and has absolutely no fluff. She also happens to be hilarious and genuinely fun to work with. I love her sense of humor, her energy, and her entire vibe. And her service did not suddenly end when the transaction closed. She has continued to be a resource for us, from trusted vendor recommendations to little things that made moving to a new city easier. She even remembered that I'm a coffee drinker and my husband is a matcha drinker and sent us local recommendations for both. She also showed up after closing with flowers and a gift card because apparently being an exceptional real estate agent was not enough. I recommend Ashley without hesitation. Actually, that is probably underselling it. If one of my friends or family members buys or sells real estate in the Seattle area and chooses someone other than Ashley, I will openly question their judgment. She is that good. I would hire her again in a heartbeat, recommend her to absolutely anyone, and consider myself lucky to have found her.

They spent lots of time with us over the phone to make sure they knew just what we wanted and needed for our house purchase. When we arrived in Washington to look at houses, all their work up front made the process easy, and we quickly found a beautiful home that works just like we need it to--and it's in a beautiful neighborhood. They also connected us with local contractors to do a little work to the house before we moved in, and we were so pleased with how well that process went.

We valued Margo's honesty when it came to negotiating a deal and her persistence to sell our home for the price we wanted.

Because I'm a complete novice at this, I needed an experienced guide, as well as someone to encourage me to get things done when they needed to be done. Margo and her team were exactly what I needed. Always quickly responsive to any question I had, she was also proactive about checking in with me --- but never getting close to pestering me. Margo's team arranged for the house to be beautifully staged, and another team came in and produced a beautiful photo portfolio to help potential buyers get a feel for the place. If your house has some "fixit" issues, Margo's team knows good workers --- I should have listened to her more closely. Finally, Margo's team set up the escrow process so that it was completely effortless for me I would gladly work with Margo's team again.

I reached out to Julie and received a response in a few hours. We had our first appointment scheduled within a few hours after initial contact. Julie gets an A+ for responsiveness! The whole experience was an education and Julie was absolutely patient, answered all of my questions respectfully, and made sure I was satisfied with our direction. Julie is extremely well-connected with the real estate community, and it was a result of this that helped us find a property that met ALL of our needs (and more), within our timeline, and under budget.
