Leanna met with us and made the suggestions needed for us to prepare the house to show the best.

I would certainly recommend Leanna to everyone looking to get the most for their house.

This review is for the agent - Shawna Stanley. Not…read moretrustworthy! She represented us as buyers, we could not see the house in person (given the covid situation). We repeatedly asked her about the condition of the windows on the house before making an offer and she kept saying they look fine. She misrepresented the facts by saying the windows look fine. We asked her to do a walk thru for us (since we were moving from out of state) before closing. Didn't do that either. After moving in, she gave us a home warranty for the first year but we never received the packet in the mail because she never paid for it. We regret hiring her! Extremely unprofessional!

Each time, Danny's expertise, advice, responsiveness, negotiating abilities, and client care have been nothing short of spectacular--truly in the top 1% of agents I've encountered. I also know several friends who have worked with him, and every one of them has raved about their experiences. If you're looking for a phenomenal broker on Bainbridge Island, Danny is the one!

Sonja Jones!! That is the only name you need to remember when it comes to buying or selling a home…read moreon Bainbridge Island. I was recently faced with the very daunting task of clearing out, cleaning up and selling my father's Bainbridge home of over twenty five years. There was definitely some hoarding to contend with, along with some messy DIY projects that happened in much later years. Sonja was recommended by several people I know on Bainbridge. When we met to do our first walk though I was worried that once she saw what I was dealing with she would turn around, walk away and tell me to call her when and if I ever got it cleaned up. Instead she said "we're going to be a team and I'm going to help you get through all of this". Well help me is an understatement. She found an assistant for me, to help me clean and clear out the house. She ordered a dumpster to be delivered, found a great painter and pressure washer, someone else to clean up and re-grout the tile and redo the floors, shopped for carpeting for me (texting me to get approval), and even shopped for a mirror to replace one that was missing in the bathroom. Then she hired the stagers, listed the house and we got an incredible all-cash offer for over the asking (which was more than I expected our asking was going to be). She is beyond a joy to work with. As silly as it sounds, we developed a friendship through all of this - a friendship that I know will last. Her wonderful husband even pitched in when I couldn't be there to do certain tasks. Talk about earning your trust and earning her commission!! To give you an idea of the scope, this process took five months, even with all of that help. And Sonja was there every step of the way. So, as I said, Sonja Jones is the only name you need to know...

Unwelcomed to the island by Bainbridge Homes Real Estate. After making our own agent aware of a…read morehome for sale, touring it together and asking for her help in putting together an offer, she turned around and went to another client and tried to pawn us off on another agent in her office so that we would bid against one another. The broker's response when brought to her attention, "it's a hot market." I guess hot means being able to disregard client-agent relationships. I'll be swiping left on this agency in the future.

There wasn't much to go on (being from San Francisco I'm used to a more robust Yelp culture)...but Julie Meyers and Bainbridge Homes had a presence and some good reviews. I took a leap and gave Julie a call. Turned out to be the best choice ever. Julie was AWESOME. She's live in the SF Bay Area herself and was able to talk with me about the differences between SF and BI. When we arrived for our first visit, she picked us up at the ferry (i.e. The Boat), gave us a great tour of the Island, and had a number of properties lined up for us to view that aligned with our criteria. Long story short, Julie helped us find and buy a wonderful new home. She was with us every step of the way and always went the extra mile. She was a wonderful partner! Thanks Julie!!

I worked with Valinda Horstman who was an absolute professional and very knowledgeable. Valinda was spot on with her estimate of the home price recommendation and I did receive offers for over the asking price. Our house was on the market for 2 days and we accepted an offer that closed in less than a month. I reached out to Valinda in May as I was interested in buying a quaint, refurbished Craftsman in S. Tacoma. Valinda's specialty is selling homes, so she introduced us to Olga Petrenko whose specialty was buying homes. Toril Sells Houses works as a team, like a task force so they have depth in resources. This approach allows quick responses and actions. They never miss any calls, always quick to respond to emails, texts, or phone calls. Olga showed us many homes and the one home we really wanted had multiple buyers that did pre-inspections and gave offers well over the asking price. Olga helped us with our strategy, and out of the 7 bids, we won and just closed on June 12, 2020. I will definitely do business again with Toril Sells Houses team and hope to continue my real estate buying/selling experience with Valinda, and Olga.

We just asked if there was anybody around to talk to and she said "um...let me see. I heard somebody back there." Domenica just happened to be stopping in on her day off. She did a quick rearranging of her schedule, got to know us a tad, let us give her a test drive and quickly had us on the smooth and exciting path to our first house. Through the whole process, even though she had other clients, we always felt like the top priority. They say that buying a house is stressful but we didn't think so. Domenica even helped us find a great mortgage broker. The whole process was totally painless, she let us make decisions and was frank and honest when reality checks were needed. When it was all over, she even threw us a house warming party. Is it weird that I can't wait to buy another house?

She also know the local areas really well, which was such a bonus, with being from out of state. If you are looking for a great realtor, I encourage you to check Domenica out.
