If you're trying to decide which agent to trust with your home in the Greater Seattle area, this is…read morethe review I wish I'd read before I started. Beth Traverso and her team handled the sale of my home over the past few months, and I cannot come up with a single thing they could have done better. Not one. That is not something I say lightly, or often. The talent and expertise of Beth and the Team was obvious at every step. The professionalism was the kind you notice precisely because nothing ever felt strained or improvised -- every move had clearly been thought through in advance. Beth's responsiveness was extraordinary: questions were often answered before I realized I needed to ask them, and when I did reach out, a thoughtful reply was almost always already waiting. And the integrity behind every conversation, every recommendation, and every negotiating decision is something I will not forget. I also want to say something specific about the team behind her -- Kaylinn, Melissa, Jenn, Jose, Katherine, and Nicole. Every handoff was clean. Every detail including communication, scheduling, follow-up, the small things that quietly fall through the cracks on most transactions -- was handled with care and real competence. I never once had to chase anyone, repeat a question, or wonder whether something had been missed. The standard they hold themselves to is rare, and it does not happen by accident; it is built and earned over time. This was real work, done at a high level, by a real team. If you are considering which real estate professional to engage in the Selling or Purchasing of a Home, reach out to Beth & Her Team - It will be one of the best decisions that you will make in the purchasing or selling of your next home.

I was in the process of selling my home and was looking for a short sale specialist. I found this…read morecompany online, read their website and emailed them. My hope was that they would be the solution for me. But we never even got to the point of having a face-to-face meeting. They were slow to respond be email (multiple instances) and often I would get bounced around between Caroline and Joe in the office. It seems Caroline can't/isn't allowed to do anything, and only Joe can make a decision. I had a family emergency in which my wife was seriously injured, and Joe's response later was phony and indifferent and made me feel bad for canceling our appt while my wife was laying on the floor getting strapped to a backboard. (hey man, at least i had the courtesy to call and cancel amidst all the chaos) Then he calls a day later, and says he is just down the street, as if we had rescheduled the appt. (I'm sure we hadn't, he told me he had to check with his assistant before rescheduling.) At that point, I just politely told him I wasn't comfortable with working with their office, after all the communication problems. After all, real estate sales are based on good, timely, accurate communication. I didn't get the sense that I would get that with this company. The modern real estate market requires fast response, not layers of overhead.

Personally, would never never use or suggest this company to any of my friends or business…read moreacquaintances for any home buying or rental services...Their practices are on the less customer services and no follow thru with bad business ethics on rental housing. *** So beware ***. The agent loved bringing her dog with her to a walk thru then didn't even follow thru with that. She stood in the kitchen on her phone with other clients while the family had to do their own walk thru. Then if you don't write down ever nick and item falling apart or not completed or fixed, they will make you pay for it when you vacate. Even if its normal wear and tear or rusted from years of installation. Once the money from deposit was in hand - they were slow to respond or not gotten back with items needing fixing. Even if it was found to have been shodily fixed prior to move in...it was your fault and you pay for the fix. Very unethical services and did not care.

Edit: I received Kelly's feedback later wrt builder's fight back. I really appreciate that he took…read moretime to write very detailed response. Recently we used Kelly Thompson on a new construction. I have to say he's great inspector, who made builder pissed off. Compared with other inspector I worked with on another property, Kelly is by far more better. Kelly gives a report on defects with photos that are especially targeting seller as reader the following day's night. He also provide another reference report a week later, that are details of what he performed, what worked, and advices and suggestions for buyer. Kelly is expensive, but may worth the money when compared with other inspectors who barely find any issues on new constructions. I hoped the reports can be delivered earlier, but I understand he's very busy. He accepts credit card with a fee, so I paid check instead. Later I asked for advice on items that builder fought back. I hope he can answer my questions soon. I would recommend him to anybody. If you need to inspect new construction, he would be definitely a great choice.

Johnathan and Kathleen were absolutely fantastic to work with. From the very first phone call to…read moreschedule our first meeting until we got our keys four months later, they were there for us every step of the way. They helped us prepare our home for sale by helping us prioritize what to do, how to do it, and where to invest to maximize our sale proceeds. They connected us with local contractors and specialists and coordinated everything quickly and efficiently. They personally helped clean windows, freshen up our garden, and ensure our home was in impeccable condition prior to listing. On the buying side, they quickly understood what our needs were in a new home and ultimately helped us find a great forever home that we love. They helped identify on-market and off-market opportunities and toured dozens of homes with us (in some cases multiple times). They understood the school districts, local neighborhoods, and community features that were important for us to consider in the home buying process. With Johnathan's background in real estate law, and Kathleen's keen understanding of home design, flow, and what makes a house a home, they were a perfect team in helping us get the home we love. Their experience navigating difficult real estate conditions gave us confidence when we needed it most. Both have lived in Snoqualmie Valley for decades and have been involved in the community in meaningful and impactful ways, allowing them to really help us understand the history and future of neighborhoods in the valley. I would highly recommend this team to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Snoqualmie valley, they are AMAZING!

Should I highlight his encyclopedic knowledge of real estate practice and procedure? Should I emphasize his energy and attention to detail? What about his willingness to jump in and do whatever it takes to put your home in the best possible position to sell? While all that is certainly true, I think what always sets Jonathan apart from the pack is his heart and genuine care for his clients. We've been lucky enough to have Jonathan guide our family through multiple real estate transactions, and we consider him a true friend of the family.
