Buyers, please be careful when dealing with this realtor and his listings. Here are a few things I…read moreencountered as a buyer : 1. This realtor is very bellicose and aggressive. He easily threatens the buyer with legal actions directly bypassing your realtor. If you want to frighten your potential buyers away, go and hire him. 2. The realtor provided conflicting information regarding the square footage of the property. He bypassed my realtor and reached out to me directly, claiming that he had two appraisals indicating the size as 3002 and 3200+ sqft, opting for the smaller measurement. However, the seller themselves informed me that the first appraisal stated the size as 2900+ sqft. 3. Do not release your Earnest money directly to the seller, and be wary of agreeing to pay more than 5% of your Earnest money. The realtor attempted to trap us with their own contract forms instead of using WA standard forms. 4. I found that the realtor disclosed my private information, including personal messages and phone number, to unrelated individuals. This is a breach of my privacy. 5. This arrogant person calling buyer POS. Not surprised at all. PS: why you deleted your response? You said you couldn't be happier to get my 1 star review. What just happened?

From the very beginning, she listened closely to our concerns and truly understood what we were looking for in a home. Every question we had was answered with patience and clarity, and every step of the process was explained so we always felt confident moving forward. What stood out most was how Jen not only met but exceeded our expectations--she found us a home that checked every box on our list. Her professionalism, dedication, and genuine care for our needs made us feel supported from start to finish. We are beyond grateful for Jen and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

We worked primarily with Fletch, who represented us as buyers on our first home purchase. Sound…read moreTeam Realty was a referral from our close friends. Words really cannot describe how amazing our experience has been! We felt like we were the only and the most important client throughout. Fletch has been super responsive, friendly, professional, and kind. This is a crazy real-estate market we are finding ourselves in right now, and we have had to make quite a few offers before finally getting one accepted. Fletch has showed us A TON of properties, and patiently coached us on all the ins and outs of the home-buying process. Everything from crafting an offer that would be attractive in this current market, to what to watch out for from an inspection standpoint. Many times he pointed out flaws or other inspection issues to us during the showing, even before receiving an inspection report. Fletch is a true pro, and you should listen to everything he says because there are nuggets of pure gold in every conversation that you'll have with him. He has gone above and beyond to ensure that we were getting a good deal, going as far as to reach out to seller's agents and asking about appraisals on pending properties to ensure that we have the best comps and are able to confidently put in a strong offer without risking a low appraisal. It is easy to get frustrated with the state of things right now, with properties appreciating double digits almost month-over-month. Fletch has helped us navigate this seemingly impossible situation with grace, encouragement, and patience. We really felt like we were more than just a client, we feel like we have developed a life-long relationship with Fletch and his team. We'll be customers for life! In the end Fletch got us into a home that we did not even dream of! We didn't think we could afford something like this. It's completely 100% beyond what we had hoped for!! Sound Team Realty also recommended an absolutely fantastic lender (Cameron). They worked together throughout the process as one team. We closed in under 30 days once our offer was accepted, and got a much better rate than we expected. Fletch and his team set up a very useful calendar for us to complete our closing tasks, such as transferring utilities, scheduling various meetings, and so on. The entire process has been buttery smooth from start to finish, despite the fact that we're first time homebuyers and the market is insane. Everything was always done well ahead of time, and we never felt like we were out of the loop or did not know what's going on. You will not find a better, more professional real estate team to work with! This is the complete package - simply reach out to Sound Team Realty and let them refer you to the right folks (like loan officer) because if you do you will have the best team in the world to help you navigate one of the most important decisions you'll ever make in your entire life!

We can't say enough good things about Karishma and Dhilip! They helped us find our home in record…read moretime, and we honestly couldn't have asked for a better team to go through this journey with. We were expecting our baby at the end of May/early June and knew we needed a bigger home than our Seattle house, somewhere we could grow into as a family. We gave ourselves a pretty ambitious 90-day deadline to find a house and move in, and from the moment we started working with Karishma and Dhilip, they jumped right in and made us feel like we were their top priority. Karishma would send us houses to review several times a week, helping us narrow down the options to the ones worth seeing in person. Dhilip would join us for showings, and we learned so much from him along the way. He helped us look beyond the surface and understand everything from the way sunlight moves through a home throughout the day to the pros and cons of each property and ideas for future renovations that could make a house truly ours. We never felt rushed or pressured, and we always felt like they genuinely wanted us to find the right home, not just any home. Within a month, we found *the one*! Even while on vacation, Karishma stayed by our side and helped us navigate a bidding war, ultimately helping us land the house on terms we felt good about and were comfortable with. That level of commitment really says everything about the kind of people they are. What started as a home search quickly turned into a friendship. Buying a house can be stressful, especially with a baby on the way and a tight timeline, but Karishma and Dhilip made the entire experience feel manageable, exciting, and even fun. We're so grateful to both of them for helping us find a place to call home and for being there every step of the way. If you're looking for real estate agents who are knowledgeable, responsive, genuinely invested in your needs, and truly care about the people they work with, we couldn't recommend Karishma and Dhilip more. You'll be in great hands!

Shes used her extensive knowledge and career experience to ensure that we get things right and anticipate issues ahead of time. She always ensured that our side was watertight - from remodeling, staging, photography, inspection, pricing, contracts, listing, etc . We sold during the summer, and though we had uncertainties due to timing and shifting market trends, she was there to guide, soothe, and work on solutions for us. Home selling can be stressful but if there was anything we can be sure about, it was that she was 100% our advocate - she had our best interests in mind - and we could see it in how she communicated, educated and negotiated with us I would especially recommend Karishma if you are new to selling and are open to learning, want to work with people that listen, understand and want to work together to achieve the same goals.

Linda was wonderful. I was a first time executor of an estate and I needed to sell the condo (also…read morefirst time selling real estate). She came highly recommended from friends here in Hawaii who had hired her to manage their Seattle rental and eventually sell it. She was so helpful to us in our situation in every way. I had no experience with how to prepare and sell a property and she assisted in finding resources for us at each step in the process . She was able to provide a recommendation for a real estate lawyer, and she helped facilitate all of the renovations to prepare the property. She is very knowledgeable of the market and helped us price the condo well. She was extremely patient and walked me through every step of the listing, negotiation and escrow process as well. We sold the place quickly and at our asking price. In addition to being extremely proficient at her job, she was always cheerful and pleasant to work with.
