She took great pride in Tacoma and the work of finding us a home - exactly the kind of person we wanted in our corner when making such an important life decision. Keryn was the agent we could count on to tell us the truth, and to understand what was most important to us. She set our expectations accurately, and knew how to put together a winning offer. Maybe you need to offer an appraisal gap to be competitive, maybe the seller wants to live in the house for an extra two weeks after closing, whatever the variables are, Keryn has the razor-sharp attention to detail that will allow you to put your best foot forward. Choosing to work with Keryn is choosing to work with THE BEST.

My wife and I contacted Commencement Bay to see if they would represent us in our search for a…read morehouse. Tre took our call, and ended up being our agent through the entire experience. He did a phenomenal job with helping us specifically in the Tacoma area. We spoke to other realtors who seemed very knowledgeable about Seattle and Bellevue but had absolutely no clue about Tacoma area, and Tre did a spectacular job with looking specifically in Tacoma. He understood all of the different parts of town, where we would most likely find a house that fit our needs, and how to run comps and put in extremely competitive offers. He was also completely realistic with us about what we could and couldn't afford, and discouraged us from wasting time making offers on houses we were not likely to win. In a year where I heard endless horror stories about people submitting 10+ offers on houses and never winning one, we won our second offer and closed on the house less than two months after we started looking. We also won the house at appraised value, and WITH an inspection. So finding our house and putting in the offer went great, but Commencement Bay did just as outstanding of a job with closing. Because they're a team and not just an individual, they have a completely separate person who handles everything for closing, and Susan did a phenomenal job getting everything handled very quickly. She made the entire closing process super easy, and we closed in just 21 days with no issues or drama. If you forced me to find a single criticism, the only thing I would mention is that the ballpark estimates our realtor game for house repairs (replacing electrical panel, refinishing floors) were WAY off. The actual quotes we received were more than double. However, that tiny complaint which probably is the case with almost every single realtor aside, I can't say enough good things about Commencement Bay. At what is possibly one of the hardest times in history to purchase a house, they made it simple, easy, and as stress free as possible for us. If we ever need to buy or sell another home in the area, they will absolutely be my first call. Even since we closed, they've kept in touch to see if we need any help with anything. Thanks so much to Nick, Tre, and Susan. You guys are all awesome.

That conclusion…read morebeing, if you want someone to help get the best deal and work through any hiccups in a timely and compassionate manner, Vance is the man. My first interaction with Vance, was, after all my research and deciding I liked his ethics and what I had read and heard, him telling me politely he couldn't help me the next three days because he promised his son a camping trip. As frustrating as that was because we were trying to get an approval letter by a certain time, the moment Vance had time he worked faster than anyone and with better quality. I worked or inquired with 5 or 6 other lenders or brokers and they all seemed like used car salesman trying to funnel me towards less than ideal deals or not disclose or explain everything. Vance was completely different, he answered every question honestly, and never tried to leave things out our leave me uninformed. Vance made it a point to share any and all information he could and go out of his way to find answers if they weren't readily available. The most important part about Vance and his wife Yvette is, they made us feel like family and got us such a great deal I'd never work with anyone else in this realm of things. From my experience Vance is someone who can solve any problem in the process, do so very promptly and thoroughly, answer the questions that make you informed and confident, and just outright smoke the competition.

They made the process of selling our home better than I could have ever imagined. I am a very organized person who likes to educate myself on most things before I do them. Regina convinced me to take a few extra steps in the sale of my home which, as she said they would, paid off with a faster, easier, and more lucrative sale. My husband and I were not planning to stage our home or do a pre-inspection based on the quality of our home and the fastidiousness of our care for our home. Her willingness to "have skin in the game" by cost sharing per her seller representation agreement convinced us to give it a try. The result was competing offers within 3 days of listing and a 21 day sale of our home for $12,000 over asking! I could not have asked for more. Regina knows her stuff and I would greatly recommend her to anyone looking to sell their home. The additional time, access, and care she put on top of all of her expertise is something that sets her and Madison apart from other brokers. I recommend you schedule a visit with her to learn more about what she and Madison have to offer you. It will be the best decision you every made!
