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!!

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.

When we met with Dawnette Fletcher she talked a good game and instantly had our confidence. Three…read moreyears later we terminated the relationship for an assortment of reasons. For openers, Dawnette is a shockingly poor communicator. The text chains I could show you are really embarrassing. She responds as if she's only half paying attention and is very unclear in her responses. We aren't sure if the problem is cognitive or that she doesn't care enough to engage with purpose. She also drops the ball. For example, she was given a three month heads up that the renters would not be extending, and I reminded her twice to get ready to list/show the house again. Nonetheless, the house sat empty for a month because she forgot to get it back on the market. Also, she brought every little renter complaint to me rather than just solving the problems like a property manager should. I'd be on a cruise ship texting plumbers while she waited for further instruction. One time she almost rented our home to a guy who was using his father's SS#. It was obvious something was awry with the renters information and I had to point out the obvious to prevent her from renting the house under fraudulent pretenses. Perhaps our biggest complaint of all is she didn't show us an ounce of respect. We felt like we were at the bottom of her list of people who deserve consideration. We paid her way to much money to feel like she didn't care about us or our experience. The first two years we employed her she found us a renter and we managed the property ourselves. That was mostly ok, other than when she forgot to relist the house. The last year we used her to manage the property and it was downright dreadful. We wouldn't recommend Dawnette to our worst enemy. She is bad at what she does. Our property manager in Texas is leagues better in every regard so we know how the job can and should be done. We hope this helps. Avoid at all costs.
