My husband and I went looking at a bunch of houses and met many agents and brokers while we looked…read more When we found the house we wanted, we called Chris to represent us. Why? out of all the agents we talked to, he was the only one who followed up consistently from meeting us briefly. We liked him. Chris is very hard working, will bend over backwards to support you finding the right home, and more importantly once you have found it, work even harder to make sure all the T's are crossed and the I's are dotted during the negotiation. Chris supplied the same due diligence right up until we closed. Even driving consistently to the house on our behalf to check if work had been completed. We were super happy working with Chris and would recommend him to anyone seeking representation in selling or purchasing a home.

Tony was hired to sell our home that was located in what is currently a hot real estate market. In…read morethe initial consultation Tony was confident in his ability to market the property. His strategy was sound and he was initially very enthusiastic and active in the process. We were happy with the marketing campaign and, although there were problems closing the sale, Tony brought us offers that exceeded our goals. After receiving the buyer's offer, we were moving forward with due diligence when a neighbor made a claim by notice of adverse possession. In the end, a survey was conducted to clear the title for sale and the price was negotiated to compensate for the disputed land. After the dust settled, the price we received was still above our original goal so the story has a happy ending. To get to this ending is a story of its own. When the neighbor's claim was brought forward, Tony was adamant that we hire an attorney. It became apparent that his plan was to step aside until the claim was resolved with the help of our legal counsel. Tony stopped answering questions and discussing strategies and referred everything to the attorney that we had hired on his recommendation. During this very critical time, Tony ceased communication for over a week. Our attorney took on the role of real estate agent and offered negotiation options in lieu of expensive and time consuming legal options. We felt Tony should have been aware of these options and discussed them with us. It would have saved us a lot of money in legal fees. Eventually the attorney (that Tony referred to us) began a strategy that Tony didn't like. This is what motivated Tony to get back into the process and close the sale. After Tony repeatedly told us a survey was not enough, it turns out that it was. After Tony repeatedly told us we needed an attorney, it turns out that zero legal action was taken. After Tony repeatedly put off negotiations, it turns out negotiations between real estate agents is what closed the sale. In our opinion Tony is a fine agent as it pertains to marketing and strategy but was quick to step aside during a bump in the road.

Not to mention, he and his wonderful assistant Alise made the entire process as stress free as possible--they were on top of all the paperwork and closing dates.

I'm really glad that I made the choice to have Tony as my listing agent and I truly believe his knowledge and skill were the main reasons for my successful and smooth home selling transaction. Thank you Tony!

We met Chris while looking for a realtor to sell our Edmonds WA house while we relocated to a new…read morehome in Texas. We liked Chris straight away and felt like he was realistic and practical with his guidance and advice. We went with his lead in a challenging housing market, what with the interest rates the way they were, but he crafted, what seemed to us, a solid plan to sell. So confident were we that we were able to head to Texas and leave it all up to him. Sure enough, within a couple of days we received multiple offers and were able to choose the best offer, which was, as it ended up, a dream offer. Chris then was able to coordinate the remainder of the business which went very smoothly and without a hitch. Anyway, we can't recommend Chris enough, he did an amazing service for us.

He has made himself available on a moment's notice to go see a house that was just listed. He even called and texted us when he was on vacation.

We bought a house at the height of the buying frenzy, and I believe it was because of Mark that we were able to do it. I highly recommend Mark Gallagher!

He got us in contact with a great lender and maintained communication with us at each step. We feel so lucky to have been able to meet Mark as our realtor, who is honest and patient and really steps up to the plate when advocating for his clients. He is a low-pressure, super knowledgeable person to have on your side as a home buyer. I appreciated how receptive he was to gauging what we were looking for in our first home (even if we didn't really know ourselves!) and providing feedback on any concerns. Mark goes out of his way to help you out and get answers for all the questions you might have. I feel like I learned so much from him just from touring homes. I couldn't recommend Mark more!

My wife and I have been renting for a long time and decided it was time for a forever home. We…read morestarted our journey with a different agent that was assigned to us from a listing service, but were not impressed because they either weren't knowledgeable or did not want to answer our questions - It seemed like they were looking for a quick sale and were afraid of swaying us away from that goal. We regrouped and had to strategize on our needs. We acknowledged our limited knowledge about real estate (which was limited to whatever we can teach ourselves online) and wanted to work with someone who was knowledgeable, patient, and above all else: human. Through sheer luck, I met Chris through the Frelard Run Club and decided to reach out; it was an amazing decision. The first house we toured was a house I already visited with my prior agent. From the get-go, Chris pointed out what to look for on the material condition of the house such as damage to sheathing/siding, how to spot non-obvious frame wear, foundation issues, and hints at pest infestation. For every property we visited, he was able to point out the facts, even if it meant not getting a sale. Chris always lays down the facts and options for us on the properties we visited and let us decide. Most agents want the buyer to pay the maximum price, but Chris took the time to explain how we would be on the hook for any amount we bid over the assessed price/sale price, whichever was lower. For example with easy numbers: if the bank approved a $1 million loan and you found a house asking for 800k but you bid 950k, an assessor would come to assess the value of the property. If the assessor deems the house worth 850k, we would be on the hook to cover 100k (950-850)! The bank loans the lower amount, either the sale price or the value determined by the assessor. The fact that Chris took the time to explain something like this to us is not something that even the bank explained without us asking, and if we didn't know what to ask we would never have known. Good luck finding this info on YouTube! Other than loan and physical property knowledge, Chris has a keen sense of the market conditions. When we bid on properties, Chris would let us know what it would take to win each property. We ended up bidding on multiple properties and Chris' hypothesis on what it would have taken to win each property was accurate each time. Chris never pressured us to be more aggressive with our offers than we were comfortable with, and we were at peace for losing bids because of defects found from Chris' home inspector that were not on the provided inspection report from the seller. True story: we've visited houses that had a rat infestation not on the report, oil tanks left underground and not disclosed by the seller, bowing floorboards with inaccessible crawl spaces, and more. The house we ended up buying after over a month and a half of bidding is a new construction home. This home had minor issues, but Chris was able to negotiate with the seller to resolve them. Even after selling the property, Chris still answers messages and helps us with issues (like the seller leaving the for sale sign after the sale. Yes, this happened). My wife and I are now happy homeowners and we thank Chris for being a part of our journey. He made us feel like a priority- from answering late night texts to returning messages while on vacation, Chris made our home buying experience much less stressful. It is comforting knowing that someone who is experienced, knowledgeable, and human is there willing to go the extra mile to make sure our forever home is the right one, and the buying experience less scary. He is a joy to work with and I cannot suggest him enough. If you're looking to buy (or even sell), give him a ring. You'll be in good hands.

He's an absolute expert at the process and represented us well both as sellers and buyers. He's responsive basically 24 hours a day, proactively notifies you of important details about a home your interested in (e.g., pulling traffic volume on the street in front of the house we bought) and is a great sounding board. Buying or selling a home is stressful and emotional. Chris makes it easy. I plan to use him again in the future and recommend him all the time.
