When you think of a real estate agent/broker there are a few things you want to make sure they have…read morein their arsenal. Deep knowledge of the market, impeccable negotiating skills and someone who has a genuine interest on your behalf. Julie Hall embodies of all these qualities and so much more. Some years ago she helped us buy in Seattle, during Covid times and crazy competitive market- she made that happen! And recently she helped us sell our home for our move to the east coast. She made this happen in record time and even getting over asking. Not only did she manage the sell of our home, she even helped with the negotiations of our east coast home- she is that amazing. Allowing us the mental space to concentrate on our move and leave our Seattle home in her hands was the easiest and best decision we made. I cannot recommend her enough. She works with a very talented team- from financing to staging. She has no problem rolling up her sleeves and making things happen. I keep telling her that wherever she does, she sprinkles Julie dust and it's 100% true. Her touch is magic- let her make your home dreams come true.

I do not recommend Julie as a buyer's agent for first time home buyers, those unable to view a…read moreproperty in person, or are new to the region and climate. her best quality was assertiveness and speed to view homes and get realtor info during a market where home showings sold out before interested buyers could get in to see in person. Ultimately for our needs, the decision to work with Julie was a disaster and cost us time, emotional anguish and a lot of money. A lot. Given how anyone we tell our story to including other realtors says, "well you're not using her again! Right?" I feel it's time to share our experience. We worked with Julie for many months 2020/2021 to buy (then quickly sell at a loss) our first home. This was at the tail end of covid while travel was restricted and discouraged and vaccines were just coming online. I toured some places with her in person during visits from out of state but also virtually thinking I was saving a long drive and being responsible because Julie understood our needs. She didn't provide video tours with me but instead would describe things or send video clips. In contrast her assistant Allison gave great video tours and clearer feedback on homes. I should have explicitly asked for video tours. But I shouldn't have had to ask. I was shopping in the luxury market and even Redfin was doing them. Reflecting back, I think because Julie was remodeling her own home and enjoyed that process she was dismissive about the difficulty and costs involved in buying a home that had problems. We were willing to do some remodeling on outdated finishes or floor plans and could afford unforeseen costs so it felt okay to take some risks. But we wanted a move-in ready, watertight home without moisture damage. I explained how I'd lived in a moldy place and was sensitive. It turned out that regardless of our ability to afford correcting what turned out to be bad DIY, deferred maintenance, and poor construction, We learned that we didn't want to. our new home required 80% of exterior replaced as well as the alleged "2 year old roof with warranty" because it was void since no flashing replaced. Julie did communicate that interior finishes and quality were not great like the flooring which we intended to replace or the paint which we also would expect to change. She said she spent over five hours on the property. I incorrectly assumed that meant she had been using that time to inspect it as a realtor would to help me make an informed decision. I was incorrect. Even simply saying that she thought I should visit in person given the condition would have been helpful. If she had only opened the strange wet bar sink cabinet and described the (to be polite) DIY shenanigans or sent a photo, we may have passed entirely. It was one of many red flags. Problems were visible in person. Certainly if she had mentioned the mildew smell evident upon opening the front door, we would also have paused and likely avoided a lot of heartache. Certainly not have overpaid by as much. Ultimately, the home was borderline tear down for us after consulting many professionals, bids, and hiring an architect. for a time we thought we might choose to make lemonade out of lemons and end up with something really stunning. However the scale of project was not what we thought we were buying, even if we repaired the bare minimum. Julie regularly dismissed mold and mildew smells saying that a home just needed new carpet and paint or to "air out"; was dismissive of my concerns of the risk to buy and cost to repair and replace stucco and Dryvit siding on homes we looked at; on more than 1 occasion encouraged us to bid at or over asking on homes that had a record of difficulty selling and price reductions. One sold for about 120k under asking (after a huge price reduction already). She failed to obtain accurate parking rights information on a home that we passed up because we had incorrect information. If you expect your realtor ON YOUR BEHALF to walk completely around the exterior of a home you are not viewing in person and note for example obvious eye-level damage to Dryvit on a 1990's home (golf ball sized white styrofoam exposed) after telling you the house was traditional stucco. as well as obviously decayed original wood windowsills exposed to the Bay, broken seals, and a moldy smell upon opening the front door of a home that had a checkered sales past - find a different realtor. I could go on. This is certainly one review I wish I didn't have the occasion to write.

This was our first time buying and we had no idea what we were doing, and we had a pretty limited budget. I feel like as clients, we were not appealing, but Colleen was happy to work with us and was so warm and understanding from the very beginning. I first got in touch with her in January of 2018 and thought we would start looking closely after, because of some extenuating circumstances, we didn't actually pick things up for over a year. When I contacted Colleen again in March of 2019, she was just as happy to help me as when we first met and took my request to work with her seriously. I feel like a lot of agents could have judged me for that lapse in time, but Colleen never did. She listened, really listened to what I wanted, never got annoyed or judgmental about my preferences, and she was so willing to tour properties with me and give me feedback about each place. We did not know at all what to look for in home and Colleen really helped me when touring properties to understand what was a good idea and what wasn't. In the end we are moving into a condo that meets the expectations we had when we started looking, and I didn't think that would have been possible in Seattle. On occasion she wasn't available to tour something with me, but she would send her assistant, who was fantastic. I never felt like I was hanging and she was so easy to get in touch with. She met me on my schedule wherever I needed. She walked us through literally everything and helped me put together a fair, but competitive offer. Our very first offer was accepted and I know it was because Colleen gave me great advice. She was so helpful in putting together a counter offer after the inspection and she helped me negotiate quite a bit towards closing costs. What also makes Colleen so great is that she works with knowledgeable, reliable contacts for everything from the home inspection to general contract work. She's 100% reliable and competent, which is so hard to find. She was really there for us and so easy to work with. Everyone told me buying a home in Seattle would be a competitive and terrible experience, but it really wasn't and so much of that was thanks to Colleen. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home and if my fiance and I ever sell our place, or buy something else, we will definitely use Colleen.

When the inspection revealed water damage in the master bathroom, Jessica guided us through every step--negotiations, selecting new tiles, monitoring repairs, and arranging for our inspector to review the contractor's water test video. All of this was handled while we were back in Virginia, and the closing was only postponed by 11 days. Jessica was professional, proactive, and dependable from start to finish.

She answered our (many) questions and gave us timely, personal attention when it was likely inconvenient or we were fretting about timing or the various things that need to come together during the process.

There is a business and emotional side of buying a home and Rebecca knows how to navigate both really well. We were on a short timeline for buying a home and Rebecca & Team devoted a lot of resources to help us be successful. When we closed, Rebecca's hospitality really showed through in her thoughtfulness, preparation, and gifts. The only minor nit is we wish she had stood up to my wife and I to hold out for a slightly lower price. We had just lost an offer and we didn't want to lose this one so we rushed in quickly. It's likely we could've negotiated it down 2-3% but in the grand scheme of things, we still love love our house and we would've taken it even if it was more! The risk / reward tradeoff on another 2-3% discount was likely to be in our favor, but Rebecca's human side came through and I think she wanted us to be successful 100% :) and not feel the loss again. Overall, we highly recommend Rebecca. Her combination of experience, care, and hospitality makes her a fantastic partner in buying or selling your home.

Her personal sense of style is exceptional, making minor change recommendations to our home, and tastefully staging our house with demonstration furniture that matched current tastes and trends. All of this led to our selling our house for more than other realtors thought it would bring. Rebecca is really nice, truly caring, high energy, and positive. She really helped us both physically and emotionally get through the process of selling our home of 30 years. That can be really tough to do and she was always there for us.
