I would not hesitate to recommend John Hurlbut with Altitude Homes. I feel like we have a unique perspective - my husband was a local residential realtor for 12+ years before moving into the government real estate side. We had the opportunity to get to know several agents and he worked alongside many during that time. That means we got to see many agents at their best and worst, and how they handle things with their clients and behind the scenes. John is who we choose to work with on our investment properties and personal transactions since my hubby changed his focus. We refer him out over and over because he is awesome. His team communicates well every step of the way so you always know exactly what's happening with your transaction - which makes for a pleasant process. We trust him completely - his expertise and customer service are top of the line. read more

John, Jeremy, and Tara: I want to thank each of you for your indomitable efforts on my behalf. A stranger you have never met, except by Proxy through my sister. Handling a sale "online" as it were, of anything, much less a house, can be a frustrating transaction. But apart from the very strange interference of an insignificant 6" rodent I could not have wished for any better outcome. EVERYTHING went smoothly, from getting your videos (I did feel a little too demanding on this, though!), to the inspection, to working with HomeStreet bank and CW Title. Even my sister, on Friday, after getting the keys from Jeremy, said how wonderfully orchestrated this whole process was. Like it was meant to be my house all along. I wish my work at the hospital could go as smoothly. You were my dream team. Thank you all, so very much. Peter Johnson read more

John helped us buy our current home 10 years ago when we were in the midst of our wedding. He exceeded our expectations then. We were able to get married, go on a honeymoon, and come back to our new home! Fast forward: 3 kids and a dog later, we have outgrown our beloved 1st home. Without a 2nd thought, we contacted John again and this even more complicated process of buying and selling a home has been seamless. Tara and her communication is amazing. Our home sold in a day and john gave us all of his time that was needed and more! His staging expert, jill, is so knowledgable. The home wouldn't have sold as quickly without her suggestions. You will not go wrong with John and his expert team! read more

John and his team (thanks Tara) provided excellence service, way above what I expected. From the initial meeting where he explained each step to answering my multitude of questions he always listened and explained everything so that I was comfortable throughout the process. He assisted in coordinating some repairs that helped the property to sell quickly and provided weekly and sometimes daily status updates to keep me informed along the way. If you are looking for a team that will help guide and mentor you through the sale of your home, I highly recommend John and if I am ever in the market for a new home will definitely work with him again. read more

I'm currently working with John and Sheri and the Altitude Homes team to sell my lot on Anderson Island, and the experience has been great. From our first call, John really listened to my goals for the sale and provided a clear, logical pricing strategy that made sense for the market. The marketing is top-notch-the drone photos and aerial views of the property look incredible. I also really appreciate the level of communication; Sheri provides regular check-ins and keeps me updated on every detail now that we are live. If you want a professional team that actually stays in touch and knows the local market, these are the people to call! read more

What an outstanding team! John and Sheri, took care of the house being sold; made sure it was ready for the market, and got the place sold within three weeks. They were ready to get contractors involved to ensure it was up to speed and then put it on the market with excellent representation. From accepting the offer to closing it was 23 days - could be a record. They kept us informed and made recommendations for completion of the sale almost daily. We appreciate all their help in getting the property sold with the least inconvenience, as we were a long-distance seller. I definitely recommend this team to sell your property. Chuck read more
