We learned…read moreso much from him about making a good investment and he went above and beyond during our sale in these difficult times. I call him the Sherlock Holmes of real estate, he has a genius level knowledge of the Seattle market with a highly detailed approach to finding good real estate. He is frank and honest. The buying process with him made us better home owners, we learned how to care for our investment and improve the value. Some real estate agents will just say anything could be a fit for you - to try to push you into buying, but Alex truly listens and helps you find your bliss. I would happily buy or sell with Alex again.

We have referred him to all of our friends who have worked Alex to buy and sell many properties. Every time a Real Estate Agent was need our friends always returned to Alex, just as we have. Alex is very trusted. We are all happy. With our most recent purchase Alex was a true hero! When we bought our current house, we had a loan problem at the end... We used an online loan company and it was a terrible experience and completely fell apart just days before the close. It was the best house and we really wanted it after we saw 20-30 houses... We were so bummed... The seller was really unhappy and we thought we could not close. Then Alex!! He used his great connections and introduced us the wonderful loan officer immediately who was able to promise us a close within just a couple of weeks. He also used his amazing communication skills to the seller's agent and was able to convince the Seller to wait for us so that we could close the transaction after a couple of weeks. He really saved our life!! We highly recommend him. He is a very established well known agent. It is a huge plus that he has great connections and accesses to lots of people and he is very trusted from people. Thank you, Alex!!

I have known Joe for 20 years+. As a Realtor, myself, I have pretty high standards of what a…read moreRealtor should be and not be. My Mother passed away last November and it has been really hard on my sister, her husband and my husband. We spent months caring for Mom and it was very draining. Next came funeral preparations and that was a very difficult time. The next step, was to go through all of Mom's belongings and decide what to keep and what not to keep from a home of 48 years of living. Draining once again. Then there was the huge Estate sale that my sister and our husbands spent 2 months preparing for. Again, draining. Then it was time to put Mom's house on the market. With this crazy market, we had 2 couples approach us to purchase our Mother's home within 2 weeks of the Estate Sale. Could we be that lucky. As it turns out, the first couple changed their minds, but the second couple was very serious. I explained up front, that we would have representation by Joe Mustache and his team. We still had a lot of work to do to Mom's home, but it was such a relief to know that Joe was handling everything else and I didn't have to worry. Joe and Lindsay were sensitive to the tears that came from sister and I, the exhaustion that had hit all of us, and they were so willing to be there for us. It all turned out to be a successful win-win solution for all parties and I would only recommend Joe and Lindsay as Realtors you can trust and count on through the process. No matter whether you're buying or selling they are the best! Now they get to help my sister find her first home and I know they will guide, educate and protect her best interest. Linda Kaas

We found a fixer upper with an amazing view, only on the market for 3 days, but with the expert help of our wonderful buying agent team, we were able to make an offer by the deadline. With bated breath, we waited to see if we had won the bid, and we did. Lindsay and Joe helped us through the entire process and helped us negotiate the details and made us feel very comfortable throughout the entire process. We closed on the home and we are very happy with our purchase and buying experience, we could have not have done it without the professional and caring team of Joe and Lindsay. Even after the closing, they continue to be supportive and engaged. What a great team! Thank you, Sincerely, Jesse and Alissa Jerabek

You will not be disappointed. The entire selling process was smooth as could be. I could go on and on about how pleased we are.

Margo's team arranged for the house to be beautifully staged, and another team came in and produced a beautiful photo portfolio to help potential buyers get a feel for the place.

He replies to messages within minutes, making communication effortless. When it came time to list our property, we simply sent an email, and within a few days the lease was signed with a qualified tenant. It was truly a hands-free experience.

When maintenance issues arise, he addresses them promptly and professionally, never leaving anything unresolved.

To be transparent, we are property owners, so this review is from the owner's point of view. Having said that, he's been proactive in making sure the rental house is in a good shape, including regular annual maintenance. This is to ensure tenants get what they pay for. One thing David really stands out is his responsiveness and timely communications. Tips: believe it or not, best way to contact him is via email. He'll call me as soon as he's available whenever I ask him to call me via email. His email responses are mostly cryptic and straight to the point, and some folks may take that differently. But for us, we like his cut-to-the-chase, no-nonsense style. Believe us, we have had a different property manager before, and he may seem courteous, but his responsiveness and professionalism are not even close to David's.

I engaged realtor Jeff Schumacher to sell my property with an unusual set of goals, which included…read morea quick closing, a 6-month rental agreement, and a buyer who intended to develop the property (our family's home for almost 60 years) in a manner that didn't overpower the surrounding residences. He fulfilled these and more with a solid purchase agreement the very day the property was listed. He has more than ten years experience in the local residential real estate market. Evidently this let him zero in on the offer that was most likely to deliver what I was after, since subsequent interactions with the buyer are proving Jeff's instincts to be correct. Throughout, Jeff's primary concern was providing a stress-free experience for me. His nearly 24-7 availability and facility with the all the different aspects of the sale process meant that my readiness to go to market was the only real delay. I would definitely recommend Jeff to anyone who wants an agent who puts them first and who is able to plot a sure course through all the decisions and legal agreements involved in selling a home.

The team at Keller Williams led by Matt Dubas knew I was afraid to buy a house and pay twice the…read moremortgage costs as I had in my condo. They knew all this and yet reassured me that if I pay off all my bills I would be able to buy a home. My case was very difficult for them because before I could buy a house I needed to find a buyer for my condo which was badly in need of work. Plus I had a lot of pets and no way to really do a proper showing. However thanks to Gina (who was wonderful, btw) I was able to get a buyer for my condo. But this left me with a limited time to find a house. I found two homes I loved and put offers down on one. In 2006 when the time came to sign the paperwork for my condo I was called in and did everything in person, having someone on hand to explain to me what I was signing. Last year this did not happen. I got a whole bunch of emails with contracts from various places that the email asked me to auto sign with no one there to offer guidance or explain the forms to me. This was difficult for me because I am 60 years old and not tech-savvy. I could not read half of what I signed. My offer was accepted on the house. When I went to meet with Matt Dubas I asked when the inspection would be done on the house. He told me the inspection was waived. I had never agreed to this, nor would I if I had known one of the forms they deceptively slipped into one of those electronic email contracts had me sign this waiver. I was also not told during this meeting with Matt that I still had the ability to back out of the deal. Which I would have if I had known I could, because there was the other house I liked just as much. I moved into a home built in 1900 that needs a $30k roof replacement. I borrowed $6000 from a friend and settled for repairing the roof instead. After just one winter the siding is starting to peel off the house. I had a specialist out to look at the home and it will cost me $40k to get the house resided. Both of these things would have been brought to my attention if I had had the house inspected--which I DID want to happen and never happened. This realtor has told me several times that mine was one of the most difficult sales they have had. I truly think they snuck that form into the contract for me to unknowingly sign to get me into a house and be rid of me. The broker Brian Acey (also at Keller Williams) called me last week and told me there should have been a form I would have to sign to waive the inspection on the house--and someone on hand to explain to me that is what I was signing. That never happened. Mr. Acey also said I should have been informed after the fact that I still could back out of the deal. That never happened either. Mr. Acey then spoke to Matt and called me today. Now suddenly he is telling me "oh there was a form electronically sent that you signed" (auto signed). And when I reminded him of the things he told me over the phone last week, suddenly he doesn't "recall" saying any of that to me. I am 60 years old. I guess Mr Acey must assume I am a forgetful old lady with a poor memory, but I am not. I remember things very well and write down important things I am told in phone calls. But I guess lying through one's teeth and using deceptive tactics to get an older person barely able to make ends meet into a home they cannot afford to get rid of them is perfectly ok to do if you work for Keller Williams.
