Brad was fantastic to work with! We sold our home after moving out of state, and Brad managed every aspect of the sale beautifully, from preparing it for market, listing, showing and advising us through multiple offers. He is detailed, organized, honest, reliable, and knowledgeable - we were grateful to work with him, and would recommend without hesitation! read more

Brad knows the business so well and was so helpful every step of the way. He helped us sell our old place and buy a new place and it all went so smoothly. He is full of resources that were very helpful. I hope he never retires so that when we are ready to sell again in ten years we can use him again. As we were working with him all the other professionals in the industry kept telling us we had the best realtor and I agree. I would not hesitate to use him or recommend him. read more

I recently closed a purchase transaction of a Capitol Hill Condominium with Brad. I found him to be a true professional. Attention to detail, responsive, and knowledgeable about his product. Highly recommended! read more

We met Brad more than a decade ago when my husband and I were looking for our first house together. Fast forward to 2023, Brad continues to be our agent for our real estate transactions. Brad has assisted us in both buying and selling, and we wouldn't have it any other way. Brad has deep knowledge of the market, and he always diligently does his research and analysis. Regardless of the side of transaction you are on, Brad has an eye for buying and for selling, paying attention to details such as what motivates a seller, and what sells, ranging from aesthetics to the practical. He knows people in the industry well, and is a wealth of resources. Throughout the years, he has given us thoughtful and keen advice, whether it's about how we structure an offer, negotiating what is important to us, or how we navigate through multiple offers. Generous as he is, he has even allowed us to pick his brain on our home remodeling projects. We love working with Brad. He is professional, knowledgeable, intelligent, and most of all, a pleasure to work with. read more

If I could give Brad a thousand stars, I would. Brad is so awesome that, if you can believe it, I was SAD when I bought my dream house because I would spend less time with him. I have used Brad for 3 real estate transactions - he helped me buy my first condo, sell that condo, and then buy my first house. His real estate knowledge is unmatched - from understanding market trends, to what to look for when buying a home, and perhaps most importantly: how to create the best offer possible within your means, and how to quickly sell your house. I cannot imagine a better resource when navigating the insane Seattle market. His skill in negotiation and contract details was incredibly reassuring. And to top it all off, he is just so fun to be around. I was looking for over 6 months before finding a house I wanted to put an offer on. Over that time, Brad was incredibly responsive, and would jump on any house I wanted to see, scheduling tours (sometimes same day!) and getting inspection reports before we even walked in the house. He knows exactly what to look for while touring the houses in terms of pros/cons/future considerations, and is always doing extra research about the neighborhood and house - even looking into city records to answer questions! When I finally find the house, Brad's strategic guidance led us to beating out 9 other offers in one of the most competitive neighborhoods in Seattle. When I sold my condo, it was during the WA state shelter-in-place order, which made everything much more complicated: stagers were delayed, no open houses were allowed, and the market was a big question mark. This could have been overwhelmingly stressful, but I honestly felt 0 stress with calm Brad guiding me along the way. And it paid off - we got an offer on the condo less than 48 hours of being on the market! I have referred 3 of my friends to Brad and all have been successful in the Seattle market, and loved working with him. He is seriously the best. Thank you Brad!!! read more

Brad is an absolute joy to work with. I've completed four transactions (2 sales and 2 purchases) with Brad and each one has gone smoothly. Brad has great market insight, truly cares for his clients, and ensures the entire buying/selling process is orderly and clear. He's also extremely kind and fun to be around. Looking forward to transaction #5! read more

We purchased our first condo through Brad and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. Brad had an answer to every question we asked and was happy to accommodate us to tour the property multiple times. We highly recommend with with him! read more

Brad was our selling agent and was truly a joy to work with! He is very professional, knowledgeable, and accommodating. He walked us through the process and was there to answer all of our questions. We felt that his asking price reflected the true value of our property. His proposal also included services other agents did not include, so we decided to entrust him with the sale of our property. In the end we got multiple offers and were able to quickly complete the sale. His calm and pleasant demeanor made the whole experience far less stressful than we expected. I would strongly recommend him to anyone in need of a good agent. read more

If you are looking to buy or sell your home, I would hands down recommend Brad Hinckley in a heartbeat. My husband and I have used other agents in the past and it never seemed to be enjoyable so I assumed that the whole buying/selling process is supposed to be hard/stressful/prolonged. Therefore, before purchasing our next home, we said we are going to research an agent that fits what we want and need so that it can be 'better'. We met with Brad (while we were not in the market to purchase a home) and talked to him about our plans to purchase a home in the coming future as we would like to grow our family, things that we need, and understand his thoughts on the market. He was very professional, understood that we were not in the market right now and was able to speak to everything we asked honestly. After that meeting, we never received unwanted phone calls, emails, etc on if we are ready to buy. Instead, it was us asking him about economics, the market, and thoughts on various things related to real estate and he always responded. Fast forward a year, we called Brad and told him we found a house that we are interested in and would like to see it. He made time for us immediately (that same day), was able to find out additional information about the home that we didn't even consider, contacted the selling agent, etc. And that was all before the weekend was over for the house's first open house. We decided to make an offer on the house but during that whole process of getting preapproved, inspection, thinking of the best offer to provide, etc, Brad did not ever make us feel pressured, helped set up all the various contacts for repairs and inspection, was at the inspections, contacted the selling agent whenever we had a question and signing the papers. I don't know how else to say this but I never had any stress along the way. Everything, and I mean everything that was involved during the buying process was stress-free and seamless. (Only stress that I felt was getting all my documents in order.) We had such a great experience with Brad that we decided to also sell our home with him. And that process was also the most seamless process ever! I have already told all my family and friends about my experience with Brad that they have personally asked for my agents name. And they all know that I would not recommend anything unless it is the best and Brad is the best!!! read more

We feel incredibly lucky that we found Brad to help us navigate a challenging condo sale. We were selling on behalf of our elderly widowed parent who had to move out of a cherished home at a difficult time for sellers in Seattle's real estate market. Brad's professional knowledge and skill, combined with his personal warmth and understanding, was exactly what we needed. At every step of the way, he treated our parent with sensitivity, gave insightful advice while supporting our decisions, kept us fully up to date on all developments, offered creative strategies, was just a lot of fun to work with, and ultimately found us the buyers we needed. He was always available by phone, text, or email and responded to our questions and concerns with information based on many successful years in the business. We also appreciated his extensive professional network (with stagers, painters, other realtors, etc.) which was very helpful to our process. We expect to stay in touch! read more

Even in these challenging times, Brad was able to list and close our Seattle Capitol Hill condo quickly. He was very easy to work with throughout the process and brought a lot of knowledge and attention to getting it done. He employed excellent photography, impressive staging, and great marketing. He was always very responsive and helped things run smoothly. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again for selling or buying, His experience really paid off with a full price solid offer in a matter of a few weeks. I can't recommend him highly enough. read more

We've had a working relationship with Brad for many years, not only as our agent for buying but also for selling. In every engagement Brad has far exceeded our expectations! His extensive knowledge of the greater Seattle area is a tremendous asset. If there are questions (and we always have MANY questions!), he has answers in minutes. He stays on top of market trends and always steers us in the right direction. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, or this isn't your first rodeo, Brad gears his service to your specific needs. This is the guy that you want on your team! read more

Highly recommended! We recently worked with Brad to sell our home in Capitol Hill. From first meeting Brad, we felt very comfortable with him and were impressed with his extensive level of experience and market knowledge. He is very engaging and easy to talk to. One thing we really liked is that we were always able to work directly with Brad, as he isn't a large team where you end up working with an underling. Brad was always available for us and kept in close contact with us throughout the whole process. We are now settled in our new home outside of Seattle, but if we return to the city we would definitely hire Brad! read more

Brad is a really good realtor to have on your side! He is honest and will tell you things you may not want to hear! He truly wants you to find a home you'll love. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home! It was our first and he really helped us understand details of the process! read more

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Brad when I purchased my house. He is very patient and does a great job of explaining everything - that was important for me, being a first time home-buyer. I tried many agents, before I decided to work with Brad and I am glad I did so. He is certainly very knowledgeable about the real estate market, so I felt pretty comfortable working with him - signing the paperwork without any hesitation (for example), which is something I didn't feel with many other agents. Brad made himself pretty available - I would text him and get a response fairly quickly - which was great, given how crazy the real estate market is in Seattle today and how quickly things move. I would definitely recommend Brad to anyone looking for an agent read more

Brad is great! I was casually looking at condos with a plan to buy in 3-4 months. We had toured a couple of buildings, just so I could see the layouts, and understand the market. Brad txtd me a couple of weeks later saying that a 2-BR in the building I liked had just come down by $50K, and I should see it immediately. From seeing the apartment, to putting in an offer, and having it accepted was 3 hours! Brad has a lot of contacts in the city, and was able to recommend a mortgage broker, and a title company. It was a seamless process, with Brad just texting the mortgage broker the offer details while we were standing in the condo. Talk about full service! Brad was recommended to me by a friend, and I would recommend him to anyone. He's the best! read more

I wish there were a way to give SIX stars, but alas. . . Brad is, hands-down, the BEST realtor I have ever worked with. He's experienced, connected, and really listens to what you need and want. He gives the same personalized attention to you whether your budget is large or small--and he's GREAT in dealing with challenging or difficult negotiations. He comes through, every time. If you're not using Brad Hinckley, you're doing it wrong! read more

Brad helped us through a very tight timeline as we planned our move from Houston to Seattle. He began helping us find our new home long before we arrived in town. With only one week to find our new home and lock in the purchase, Brad orchestrated the search and showing of the best prospects, helped us through negotiations, and shepherded us through the paperwork required to seal the transaction. He has continued to help us prepare the property for our upcoming move in ways that have exceeded our expectations. He did all this in a way that kept us on-target, while helping to reduce the stress of the process. We're very glad that we put ourselves in his capable hands, and recommend him highly. read more

My wife and I were delighted in our experience working with Brad. Not only is he an excellent agent, but Brad has diverse professional experience which really helped in understanding the overall conditions of the housing market. He's very responsive and personable. He also has great judgment about neighborhoods and houses. We were very pleased with the results. After working with 3 other agents in the past I can easily say Brad is the best! read more

I can't say enough about how wonderful Brad was for us. We had an extremely short window for purchasing a home, had a relatively low budget and very high expectations. not only did he help us find something in the five days that we had, but he ferried us around Seattle with our two young girls as we looked at house after house. He never made us feel like a burden, although we certainly were, and he pegged us well. We are now happily settled in the neighborhood we wanted in a house that we would NOT have found on our own!! In addition, he helped us navigate the complicated mess of purchasing a bank-owned property. read more

Brad Hinckley was the most unprofessional real estate agent we have met to date. He did not even show up for his initial appointment with out of town clients, did not bother to call until after the designated meeting time, and childishly, refused to apologize for his unprofessional conduct. He is an amateur, he is unreliable, he doesn't pick up his phone and he doesn't return texts, emails or voice mails. Do not bother with this guy. read more

Brad found us our dream home -- no easy feat in the competitive Seattle market. Brad was able to hear our needs/desires, and reconcile this with the realities of the housing market. He was also a strong advocate for us in negotiating a complicated offer on a house with multiple bids. Brad was a pleasure to work with, and I would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a home in Seattle. read more
