Run away! We were looking for a home in the Seattle/Tacoma/Olympia area. We were introduced to a…read moreJohn L. Scott real estate agent through a friend. Our agent barely worked to find us a house. Luckily, with Zillow, we told our agent what houses we were interested in. We had reservations about one of the houses for legitimate reasons. But instead of trying to allay our fears, the agent kept pushing us towards buying it. We could smell the fear and frustration that the agent was going to lose the sale. All of the "experts" they brought in to look at the house were either incompetent or had a working relationship with JLS Realty or both. When we pulled out of that deal and made an offer on another home, which his office was also selling, our agent's manager came to the inspection. It was clear the manager was trying to 1) distract us from working with the inspector and 2) influence us to buy that house. In all the property transactions I've been in, that was a first! In the end we didn't buy that house either. Speaking of inspections. As I was paying due diligence I came across Washington State law that prohibited, for ethical reasons, inspectors from providing inspection reports directly to agents without the permission of the buyer. It's a reportable action. What do you think our inspector did for each house they looked at? They gave it to them! For the second house, not coincidentally, a problem with the hot water heater was fixed when we went out to the site to meet another professional. In effect, the inspector gave the selling agent information about the house, which was in violation of the purchase contract. If the seller learned that, the sellers could have used that to terminate the contract AND take our earnest money. John L. Scott doesn't understand that, if they treat us right, we will recommend their agents and call them in the future. Their shady business practices are obviously intended to fatten their pockets at the expense of their clients.

Mark Komac was our listing agent when Mom put her house up for sale. First thing I want to say is,…read moreMark was AWESOME! With Mark's knowledge and expertise we settled on a price, and got above asking price, in only 2 days after listing! There were many legal things related to selling a house, that we didn't have any knowledge of. Mark knows all those things, and patiently talked us through all of it. Repeatedly if necessary! That's the bottom line, but there's way more than that. The sale of Mom's house was an emotional decision from the start. She simply couldn't maintain a house any longer and needed to move into a senior living place. However, she really didn't want to move out of her home. We settled on a listing date. Again, with Mark's help. Emptying and cleaning out a house, that someone has lived in for 61 years, is a big deal, to say the least. Mark was super helpful! Going way above and beyond! He helped us know what exactly needed to be done and also what didn't. Always with compassion for our emotions, but also with knowledge of the market. He helped us move big furniture, remove nails from walls, then patch and paint those holes. He helped us decide what needed to go where and most importantly, gave my mom time, to let go of those things. Never rushed her just for the sake of hurrying a sale. In the end, the house is sold. Mom is settling nicely into her new apartment. She's making friends, and says it was as good of an experience as it could've been to sell her home. Her kids helped her. We were able to help her, because Mark helped us! I thank him for that! Also, we all loved the cookies he gave us!

Karen and Patrick Buckley are - HANDS DOWN - the best realtors you could ask for! They know…read moreeverything there is to know about buying and selling and they really get to know you during the entire process. I first met Karen when my boyfriend and I wanted to go see a house I found on Zillow. From there, she took us on many hunts for a new home. She really understood what we were looking for and worked with our price point. Prices have risen a lot recently, so we have yet to purchase a home, but in the meantime, I decided to sell my own townhome. Of course I asked Karen to be my realtor! Karen spent many, many hours talking with me in person AND on the phone, sending emails, and even texts. She was the most responsive realtor I could have hoped for and always had helpful, detailed answers for every single one of my questions. If she was unavailable at any time (which was rare!), Patrick stepped in seamlessly to assist. Karen worked with my HOA, the title company, and the buyer's agent to get all the information needed and everything always had an incredibly fast turnaround time. Karen and Patrick even did the staging for my home and it turned out AMAZING! I very nearly had second thoughts about selling the place! Karen had a professional photographer take the photos for the listing and they turned out really well. Patrick took some of the photos himself and they were excellent - he has a great eye for how to take listing photos! Karen and Patrick even did a virtual tour website and gave me a DVD with the staging photos as a keepsake. When the house was in the final closing stages, Karen and Patrick came by to collect their staging items and even helped me getting some of my heavier items into my moving truck. This was such a great help to me and I appreciated it so much. On the day of closing, Karen actually drove me to the office and was there to help walk me through all the documents before signing. It was a HUGE help and such an amazing thing for her to do. I really felt she had my back from start to finish. On top of all this, Karen and Patrick are two of the most warm and genuine people I have met. They both have a great sense of humor and extensive knowledge on every aspect of the buying and selling process. Karen's past experiences as a broker and Patrick's past experiences at Zillow make them a really well-rounded team who will give you the best real estate expertise around. In fact, I dare you to find anyone better! Karen and Patrick are the best team you could ever ask for and I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend them whether you are selling or buying. They ROCK!!

Alec made it clear he had our back in each circumstance. He worked with me to find the best home for my family, make an incredible offer and negotiated the waters as we underwent our first home buying experience. This year it was time to move on, and we reached out to Alec again. This time he brought market advice, a bench of professionals to help us finish some last minute repairs and dedication as the market got wonky. Since we were 3k miles away he served as our eyes an ears with regular calls personally and from Kristi as well. When it comes time to find something else in Puget Sound, Alec & Jon Bye are the professionals we will trust

After more than two decades living in an HOA community managed by Around the Clock Inc., I feel…read morecompelled to share my experience so that others can make informed decisions. I have lived in my community for 22 years, and Around the Clock Inc. has managed our HOA for nearly that entire time. This perspective comes from long-term experience, not a single incident. Over the years, the most consistent issue has been a lack of communication and responsiveness from management. Attempts to reach the company by phone are generally unsuccessful, and email responses are often delayed or never received. One example occurred about 15 years ago when the management company changed the bank used for automatic HOA payments. This change was not communicated to our household. Our bank confirmed that payments were still being sent to Around the Clock Inc., yet a lien was placed on our home due to the payment processing issue. When we attempted to contact the management company by phone, we received no response. Eventually, through email communication and considerable effort on our part, the issue was investigated and it was acknowledged that our household had not been notified of the banking change. The situation was eventually resolved, but it required significant time and stress due to the lack of communication. In another instance, when I raised concerns about unanswered calls and emails, the response minimized the issue and suggested that additional attempts should have been made to establish contact. At the same time, management indicated that they typically send only one communication regarding important matters and do not follow up beyond that. This approach makes it difficult for homeowners to resolve issues efficiently. Communication is also inconsistent in other ways. The company regularly sends emails notifying residents about office closures for holidays and extended winter leave. However, when it comes to issues that directly affect the community--such as repairs or maintenance--updates are rarely provided. For example, the security gate in our gated community has been non-operational for extended periods over the years. At the time of writing this review, the gate has been non-operational for four consecutive months with no proactive updates regarding repair progress or timelines. The impact of this lack of responsiveness is felt throughout the neighborhood. During this period of the gate not functioning, multiple vehicles in our community were broken into. Situations like this understandably raise concerns among residents about safety and accountability. Over the years, many neighbors have expressed feeling ignored and unsupported. While homeowners are held to high standards within the HOA, concerns raised about management are often dismissed with the explanation that the company manages many properties. While we understand that property management companies have multiple responsibilities, homeowners reasonably expect timely communication and basic responsiveness for the services being provided. I understand the value and benefits that an HOA can bring to a community. Unfortunately, in my experience, management by Around the Clock Inc. has not delivered those benefits. After more than two decades of dealing with these ongoing issues, the stress and frustration have significantly impacted the morale of our neighborhood. I cannot recommend this management company. Our community would benefit greatly from new management.

I originally contacted Brenda Pierce based off her stellar reputation as a real estate agent,  even though I knew she wasn't in our area (we were buying a house in a different state.) After I gave her our details she put me in contact with a broker & an agent local to the state we were moving to. Because we were buying in Nevada Brenda wasn't our agent but she still kept in touch with me the entire time to make sure we were happy with how everything was going. I'm still in awe of the service and attention we received from everyone, but especially from Brenda. She had nothing to gain by checking in with us. Like I said technically she wasnt our agent, she's just that committed to her profession. She understands how daunting & important this process is. I couldn't be happier with whom she recommend to us and we loved working with them. We have a modest income that doesn't allow us to put alot into our savings. But with Keller Williams' superb agents they found us an amazing forever home! It wouldn't have been possible without them.  -Savannah Souza & Daniel Hawkins
