We interviewed several local realtors when we first considered selling our Snoqualmie Ridge home, and Jesse's presentation, professionalism, and personality really blew us away at our first meeting. He was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and honest about the local market and the value of our home. We were also extremely impressed by the level of service he and his team provide while still working for a much lower commission rate than we were offered by any other realtors in the area. After hiring and working with Jesse and his team throughout the sale process, we can't recommend him enough. His professionalism and sales tools were flawless. The team coordinated and provided beautiful photos and marketing tools, and conducted numerous open houses, and even though the housing market began to cool right as our home went on the market, they never pressured us to lower our price to something we weren't comfortable with. Jesse continually communicated honestly with us throughout the process, and ultimately we ended up closing on our home with a smooth, easy transaction at a price point that we were very happy with. Although some people might be understandably wary of the services that a 1% commission real estate agent is able to offer, this is not a concern anyone should have about Jesse and his team. They provided full, professional services for us, and we would recommend them to anyone selling a home in Seattle's Eastside area, or elsewhere. Thank you Jesse! read more

My wife and I have used Jesse and Ayako's services to buy our house in Maple Valley WA. They closed the sale of our condominium in Klahanie (Sammamish, WA). We could not have been more pleased. We have dealt with a number of realtors both here in Washington as well as in California and we can say without reservation that Jesse and Ayako are as good as we have seen. Both were available at short notice to go looking at prospective homes in Maple Valley. Very knowledgeable about the areas we were looking in. Jesse was a great negotiator for us in buying our new house (April 2016). Definitely saved us money at closing. His availability by phone, text and email was quick and responsive and spot on! More than anything else, we quickly came to trust Jesse and Ayako. Really! In regard to selling our townhouse condominium, Jesse was an amazing resource. When we decided to redo some of the hardwood floors in our condo, the first contractor did not do the floors to match the existing floors. Jesse came through with a contractor who completed the job on very short notice and did an outstanding job for us. The fliers, the videos, the staging and open houses were top notch. Then, Jesse did a great job of negotiating among offers and guiding us. Within our family (since 2016) Jesse and Ayako have bought or sold 5 homes! Really! Again, we unconditionally recommend Jesse and Ayako. read more

I found the Tronson team through a marketing mail flyer. 1% commission rate with all the services and more. I am one of the biggest skeptics when it comes to things being too good to be true but in this instance it was all I hoped for and more. From the initial presentation, to the valuing of our home, to the staging consultant, to the contractor referrals, to the photo and video shoot (he used a drone to make his own video, so cool!), to the advice when it came to negotiation, to the final closing documentation. Everything was handled in a timely and professional manner. And talk about above and beyond, we were selling our home to relocate to Northern California and we had to leave early in the process, literally abandoning our place to a market on the decline. He was there giving us constant updates, caring for our investment, trying every strategy in the book to help us move the property. He never quit, he never showed distress, he was always the voice of reassurance. Honestly, being we were moving to one of the most expensive places on earth, his rate made a huge difference in our living situation and his service helped us through an extremely tough time. Who would have thought that the flyer we got that day would have provided a highly competent Real Estate Agent and a really great friend. Thank you Jesse for everything you did for me and my Family, we are forever grateful. read more

We are so happy we went with Aqua Real Estate. Darin, Jesse and the rest of the team were amazing, and we couldn't have asked for more. We interviewed three other agents and while they all seemed competent, none were able to convince us that they could do a better job for the higher commission they were charging. When we told them we decided to go with Aqua, who has a 1% listing fee, we got the impression they felt we would regret it, get what we paid for. They were so wrong and we're happy to say that from the very beginning, Darin and Jesse impressed us with their enthusiasm, experience and support. They were fantastic about finding people to help us get the house and property ready to go on the market (all who did a great job at reasonable prices). The pictures, video, 3D floorplan and printed marketing materials were beautiful. It was very exciting. Darin was great about being available for questions and concerns via phone and text. He checked in regularly to keep us updated. We received a dream offer within 11 days of listing. It was above asking price with financing, inspection and appraisal, all waived. We even received no charge rent back for three weeks after closing. What a smooth, stress-free process. We got everything we wanted and more AND saved $30,000 in commission. How awesome is that? No regrets. Happy, happy, happy. read more

Before putting our home on the market, we were googling realtors in Sammamish/Issaquah area. Jesse and his team was very noticeable. We didn't hesitate to contact Jesse right away because we trusted what they say and what they will do. The listing process was like a breeze. Everything was beautifully done. We had some high hope about the market so the sale of our home was not so fast, as a matter of fact it was much longer than we would expect. Jesse was extremely patient and professional and always stayed connected via text messages or phone calls. Jesse was so easy to work with and we became friends ever since. It was like not selling our house. More like he was selling his own. After more than 30 days without an offer, we were a little frustrated. Guess Jesse was frustrated too when there was no offer. But Jesse often calmed us down by saying "your house will get an offer, just need some time". Eventually we sold our home and moved to a new house. In our experience, Jesse and his team is the one you can trust while their 1% commission is awesome. read more

I needed someone to help me sell my home in WA, but I live in MN. I searched Zillow and chose Jesse and Ayako Tronson. Being a long-distance sale, I did my research, all looked good so I contacted them. Jesse and team were great! Communication was outstanding, I always felt like I was in the loop. The house was a mess and needed some work. Jesse sent me pictures and called me from the house. We discussed options and I was able to make well-informed decisions. Jesse arranged cleaning, general repairs, paint, and carpet replacement. It was found that the roof had a minor leak and Jesse arranged that, too. All work was scheduled in sequence and completed very quickly. Jesse and team did a great job marketing the house and getting the market value. He did a great job negotiating with the buyer's agent and reaching a fair deal. Selling a house can be painful, especially when I couldn't be there. Jesse made this pretty painless for me. I feel like Jesse went far above expectations and I highly recommend him. read more

Jesses and Ayako are the best agents I have ever working with. I knew them from my friend recommendation. Moving cross country and selling a house at same, me alone with kids. I don't know how to start initially. They helped me and done beautifully. First, they knew the market so well, very experienced. Jesses helped me in every single step. He always respond my messages or phone calls right away, and explain everything professionally. For some terms or legal wording, he can explain to me clearly and very patiently. Ayako did a lot of detail works, making sure everything works the best.Most importantly, they help me with the right decision. Truly thanks for Jesses and Ayako. With their help, the entire process is done so smoothly. Highly recommend them. They are my life saver. read more

These people are awesome, both at professional and personal level. The whole process, from contacting them to selling the house was less than 3 weeks. Actually, we sold in less than one week after listing the house and 20k above the listing price. And all because of Jesse's skills! Also, if you need, they can refer you to landscaping, carpet cleaning, handyman and any service you might need in order to list your house in great condition and they make sure everything goes smoothly and according to the schedule. All in all, it was great working with them and I would strongly recommend choosing them if you want to work with real professionals who will sell your house in record time and at the best price. Thank you Jesse and Ayako! read more

We had an fantastic experience with the Tronson Team. They were very helpful throughout our entire transaction. We were leery of using a company that only charged 1%, thinking that they would cut corners. Boy did Jesse PROVE US WRONG! He went ABOVE AND BEYOND sending in a stager to help us make our home look it's best. They took high quality pictures and provided us this awesome flyers and quality card stock booklets showcasing our home. Jesse was very helpful when we were negotiating offers and even got us an offer over our asking price. I would highly recommend the Tronson Team if you are considering selling your home. And the 1% commission is money in your pocket! read more

Our choice to go with Jesse from Tronson Homes Team was one of the best decisions we made when we decided to sell and buy our dream home. We used Jesse for both selling and buying and he made it easy for us. He walked us through the processes and reassured us in all our decision making. We had a couple hiccups along the way, but Jesse professionally negotiated with all parties to satisfy the sellers and buyers on both sides and made it possible for us to get our dream home. Jesse and his team are the up most respectful, experienced, and willing to work with you to make you feel comfortable in making decisions. Thank you Jesse and Tronson Homes Team! read more

Our home sale was a great experience using Tronson Homes. We interviewed four realtors before making our decision and chose Tronson because we felt we were given the best information in the most organized fashion. We were very pleased through every step of the process and had great communication with the sales team. Our listing attracted a large volume of interest which we credit to the great photographs and drone video which were included in the package. Our sale was fast and smooth and we saved thousands on commissions. We have already made referrals to friends and will continue to do so without any apprehension. read more

We moved out of state and had to sell our house month later after our move. We met with Jessy and discussed the process before our move, so on the last day we just dropped keys to him and were on our way. Once we were ready to sell the house, we contacted Jessy again to start the process. It was really convenient to have him working on our house. We had some minor issues that Jessy helped resolving, like cleaning the house, small plumbing fixes etc. Jessy had local contractors to do those tasks and price was quite reasonable. As a communication we used calls, texts, emails and overall experience was really good. read more

I chose Aqua Real Estate from a flyer received in the mail. The 1% listing fee & being a local agency interested me. Jesse, Kellie & Rick answered all my questions & provided excellent communication from beginning to end of the process of selling my condo. Their teams helped with staging, professional photos, signage & pamphlets in a timely manner. The condo was listed & sold within a week, above asking price! I couldn't have asked for a better Real Estate Team & would recommend them to friends, family or anyone in need of an Amazing Buying/Selling experience. Thanks again Aqua Real Estate! Todd B. read more

Darin & the Aqua team were incredible! This was the first move / sell I did on my own without the benefit of company support and they made it so so easy. Even with the pandemic, Darin, Jesse and their team (of four - small, but mighty!)) made the experience so efficient & smooth. From the first in-person meeting to the ongoing communication and follow up, down to all the closing details .. so easy! And my house sold for over the asking price to the first person who walked through - I owe that to their awesome marketing, attention to detail and commitment to me. Thank you, Aqua Team!! read more

Let me start by saying I have never given a 5 star rating before. I have always felt like 5 star is truly special and should be reserved for exemplary service. Nothing have I purchased on Amazon or meals posted on Yelp have been rated 5 star. Until now. The Tronson team exceeded every expectation and help guide me through the selling process. I could not have asked for anything more. The advertising was incredibly professional and I believe set my condo apart from others on the market. When it is time to sell my current home, I will be certainly contacting Team Tronson. Thank you! read more

Me and my wife relocated from the Midwest to the Seattle area and were having difficulty finding a home. A colleague who had also relocated here recommended Jesse. Jesse took the time to meet with us over coffee to better understand our needs. With this knowledge, he identified areas that he felt would be of interest to us, and helped us land the home we love in the specific neighborhood we were most excited about! I highly recommend Jesse due to his knowledge of the market, strategic approach, and work ethic! His quick response time to my many questions was amazing! read more

Over the years I have used several Real Estate agents. We used Jesse and Ayako for the sale of our home and the purchase of a new home. They went above and beyond what other agents did for us. They listened to use and worked according to our schedule. They helped us sell our home for more then the asking price. In a very hot market they helped us get exactly the right house for us at a great price. I think this is the last home we will purchase but if we do sell our purchase another home we will be using them. We will defiantly refer friends and family to them. read more

Jesse and his team sold our Maple Valley home quickly. He has a great pool of referrals which we used for some landscaping, house cleaning, painting, and minor repairs that were needed to get the house in prime shape before listing. The closing was smooth and we were kept up-to-date on where we were at in the process. Jesse knows the Maple Valley market and helped us price accordingly as the market was changing. We recommend Jesse and the team for buying or selling. We would have used Jesse to purchase our new home as well, but we moved out of state. read more
