Our son's friend recommended Jessica Livingston, and we are so glad she did. Jessica quickly learned our priorities, arranged showings, and pointed out things we might have overlooked. Even when our younger son joined us to tour shortlisted homes and we all had different favorites, Jessica gave us the right encouragement to move forward. 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. Without her persistence, the deal might not have gone through. We are grateful for her help and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone buying a home in the Seattle area

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.

We had a wonderful experience with Erica and highly recommend her to prospective home…read morebuyers/sellers. We have worked with multiple real estate agents in the past, and Erica went above and beyond expectations. She truly was our advocate - whenever we had interest in a house to purchase, Erica contacted the selling agent and gathered all pertinent information to help us make an informed decision. She delved into city records, HOA agreements, comps, and always found an answer to each question we had. When we made an offer on a home, she worked quickly and was in communication with us to ensure the details of the offer were just as we wanted them. One of the offers we made was more complex than most, and Erica put in the work to make sure everything was clear and correct. One of the things we appreciated most about Erica is that we felt no pressure to purchase. At first we were unsure of what we wanted, and needed to see what was out there before narrowing things down. Erica understood this and used the homes we looked at together to come to a better understanding of what we needed. We valued her openness, honesty, and strong work ethic. It is obvious she enjoys what she does. She was a joy to be with, our kids loved her, and we loved working with her. In the future, if we are looking to buy or sell a home, we will definitely choose to work with Erica again.

In the very first meeting, she laid out the entire process and answered all our questions in detail. She is very friendly, approachable and easy to work with. We closed on our first home in less than 2 months from when we first started working with her and this was only made possible with her due diligence and the ability to keep everything on track. While we were waiting for closing, she was kind enough to accompany us and let us access our new home several times. This allowed us to get a head start on getting vendor quotes for some home improvement tasks and made our move-in process smoother. She also provided excellent referrals for mortgage lenders and home inspectors which came in very handy. If you are a first-time home buyer who's looking for a well-informed and trustworthy agent, I'd highly recommend Megan!
